But Jesus
This phrase marks a pivotal moment in the narrative, emphasizing the direct intervention of Jesus. The Greek word for "but" (δέ, de) often introduces a contrast or a significant shift in the narrative. Here, it highlights the transition from the mournful scene to the miraculous action of Jesus. In the context of the Gospel of Luke, Jesus is frequently portrayed as the one who brings hope and change, contrasting the despair and limitations of human circumstances.

took her by the hand
The act of taking someone by the hand is a gesture of compassion and authority. In the cultural and historical context of the time, physical touch was significant, often conveying healing and connection. The Greek word for "took" (κρατέω, krateo) implies a firm grasp, indicating Jesus' control and power over the situation. This action is reminiscent of other healing miracles where Jesus' touch brings restoration, underscoring His divine authority and the personal nature of His miracles.

and called out
The phrase "called out" (φωνέω, phoneo) suggests a commanding voice, one that carries authority and intention. In the biblical context, the voice of Jesus is powerful, often associated with creation, command, and life-giving force. This calling is not merely a verbal expression but an authoritative declaration that transcends the natural order, as seen in other instances where Jesus speaks to the elements or to spiritual entities.

Child, get up!
The term "Child" (παιδίον, paidion) is an affectionate address, indicating Jesus' tender care and recognition of the girl's identity. The command "get up" (ἐγείρω, egeiro) is a word often used in the New Testament to denote resurrection or awakening. This command is not just a call to physical awakening but symbolizes spiritual renewal and life. In the broader scriptural context, Jesus' ability to raise the dead is a testament to His divine power and foreshadows His own resurrection, offering hope of eternal life to believers.
