And the fame of this went abroad into all that land.
All Commentaries on Matthew 9:26 Go To Matthew 9
Rabanus Maurus
AD 856
Morally; The damsel dead in the house is the soul dead in thought. He says that she is asleep, because they that are now asleep in sin may yet be roused by penitence. The minstrels are flatterers who cherish the dead.
The maiden is raised in the house with few to witness, the young man without the gate, and Lazarus in the presence of many; for a public scandal requires apublic expiation; a less notorious, a lesser remedy; and secret sins may be done away by penitence.
