Verse 25. - But when the people (crowd, Revised Version; cf. ver. 23) were put forth, he went in. Till they were cast out he would not enter. They with their hired sorrow would disturb the reverential feelings essential to the performance of such a miracle. And took her by the hand, and the maid (ver. 24, note) arose. Matthew omits all mention of Christ's words to her, but his ἠγέρθη is, perhaps, a reminiscence of the command ἔγειρε. Ver 26. - Matthew only. And the fame hereof (ἡ φήμη αὕτη) went abroad into all that land. Of no one miracle is this elsewhere affirmed. (For the fame of him generally, cf. ver. 31 and Matthew 4:24.) That land. Doubtless Northern Palestine. It marks the Jerusalem standpoint of the writer (Nosgen); vide Introduction, p. 19.

Matthew 9:25 shows Jesus emptying the room of unbelief, entering with quiet authority, touching what others feared to touch, and instantly restoring life. The scene confirms His power over death, His willingness to draw near, and His role as the Resurrection and the Life for all who trust Him.
