ὁ Κύριος, the Lord, first time this title has been used for Jesus in the narrative. Lk. frequently introduces it where the other synoptists have “Jesus”. The heavenly Christ, Lord of the Church, is in his mind, and perhaps he employs the title here because it is a case of raising from the dead. The “Lord” is Himself the risen One. ἐσπλαγχνίσθη : express mention of sympathy, pity, as the motive of the miracle. Cf. Mark 1:41. μὴ κλαῖε, cease weeping, a hint of what was coming, but of course not understood by the widow.
