‘But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up. And he arose.'

Whatever the boy's condition it did not matter, for Jesus was there. ‘He took him by the hand.' Compare Mark 1:31; Mark 5:41. ‘And raised him up, and he arose.' Compare Mark 5:41. What He began He finished. And because Jesus was there the man's weak faith in Him proved sufficient and the boy's life began anew.

‘And he arose.' Once again we have a picture of the resurrection, for it was a picture also of what could happen to the world if only they would believe. They could be delivered from the power of Satan to God (Acts 26:18).
