Theophylact of Ohrid

Catena Aurea by Aquinas (1107)

(ap. Pseudo-Hier.) Again, when Jesus, that is, the word of the Gospel, takes hold of the hand, that is, of our powers of action, then shall we be freed from the devil. And observe that God first helps us, then it is required of us that we do good; for which reason it is said that Jesus raised him, in which is shown the aid of God, and that he arose, in which is declared the zeal of man.

Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

But Jesus took him by the hand,.... "Took hold of the hand of the child", as the Persic version renders it; and lifted him up; from the ground, on which he was cast by the spirit; and he arose: this is omitted in the Syriac and Arabic versions, though in one edition of the latter, according to De Dieu, it is rendered, "and he stood"; to which is added, "and went into his own house". The Persic version, instead of this clause, reads, "and the child was healed"; and all the expressions show, that he was perfectly well.

Matthew Henry

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Jesus took him by the hand, kratesas -- took fast hold of him, and strongly bore him up, and he arose and recovered, and all was well. The reason he gave to the disciples why they could not cast out this devil.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Mark (lightly modernized text, Grace Gems edition) (1857)

The contrast between these verses and those which precede them in the chapter is very striking. We pass from the mount of transfiguration to a melancholy history of the work of the devil. We come down from the vision of glory — to a conflict with Satanic possession. We change the blessed company of Moses and Elijah — for crude interaction with unbelieving Scribes.
