<p>5:35 <em>While he was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying: Your daughter is dead. Why do you trouble the Teacher any further?</em>- Luke adds: &ldquo;There comes one from the ruler of the synagogue&rsquo;s house, saying to him, Your daughter is dead, trouble not the Master&rdquo; (Lk. 8:49). We naturally ask:&nbsp;<em>who</em>&nbsp;was this &ldquo;one&rdquo; along with the &quot;some&quot; mentioned by Mark who came with this message? In the Gospels, it is often the disciples who term Jesus &ldquo;the Master&rdquo;, which is how Matthew records the form of address. And it is the disciples who ever show themselves concerned at others 'troubling the master'; every time they try to turn people away from Him on this basis the children, their mothers, the Phoenician woman etc., He makes a point of accepting and working with those whom they sought to bar from Him. The implication is that it was they who thought that Jesus wouldn&rsquo;t have the power to raise the dead, perhaps connecting with their own studied lack of faith in His resurrection later.</p>
