Notes

Luke 8:55

Her spirit returned: Like the raising of the widow’s son (7:15), the girl’s normal mortal life was restored. At the final resurrection, believers will receive glorified bodies that do not die (see study note on 24:39).

Luke 8:40–56

These two accounts of healing show that Jesus has authority over disease and death. They also show the power of faith.
