Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Luke 8:50

Believe only. — There is a slight difference in the shade of meaning of the Greek tense as compared with the like command in St. Mark’s report, the latter giving “Believe” as implying a permanent state — Be believing — St. Luke’s report laying stress on the immediate act of faith.
