<p>5:23 <em>And implored him earnestly, saying: My little daughter is at the point of death- </em>Mt. 9:18 &quot;My daughter is even now dead&quot;. The Greek could carry the idea of 'for now, she is dead' (see the usage in Mt. 3:15; Jn. 13:7; 16:12,31; 1 Cor. 13:12 etc.); in this case, the man believed her death state was only temporary, until the resurrection he believed Jesus would achieve.</p><p><em>I beg you to come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made whole and live</em>- The man &quot;came&quot; to Jesus, and now Jesus 'comes' to the man; the same Greek word is used twice. The impression is given of a mutuality between the Lord and those who come to Him in faith.</p>
