Luke 7:14. The bier. An open coffin was used among the Jews.

The bearers stood still. Stopped, not by miraculous influence, yet probably because of our Lord's manner. That they had heard of Him is of course possible, but not certain.

Young man, I say onto thee, Arise. A command, as in all the similar cases. A simple word, uttered in the exalted composure of sufficient, all-sufficient might. The simplicity of the narrative attests its truthfulness; the simplicity of the command attests the power of the Prince of Life.
