Jerome

Against Jovinianus 2.17 (420)

For whenever he raised anyone from the dead he ordered that food should be given him to eat, lest the resurrection should be thought a delusion. And this is why Lazarus after his resurrection is described as being at the feast with our Lord.

Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament (1755)

John, the brother of James - When St. Mark wrote, not long after our Lord's ascension, the memory of St. James, lately beheaded, was so fresh, that his name was more known than that of John himself.

John Wesley

1703–1791

Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament (1755)

He charged them that no man should know it - That he might avoid every appearance of vain glory, might prevent too great a concourse of people, and might not further enrage the scribes and Pharisees against him; the time for his death, and for the full manifestation of his glory, being not yet come.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Something should be given her to eat - For though he had employed an extraordinary power to bring her to life, he wills that she should be continued in existence by the use of ordinary means. The advice of the heathen is a good one: - Nec Deus intersit, nisi dignus vindice nodus Inciderit. Horat “When the miraculous power of God is necessary, let it be resorted to: when it is not necessary, let the ordinary means be used.” To act otherwise would be to tempt God.
