<p>8:49 <i>While he yet spoke, there came one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying: Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher</i>- We naturally ask: <i>who</i> was this &ldquo;one&rdquo; who came with this message? In the Gospels, it is often the disciples who term Jesus &ldquo;the Master&rdquo;. 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. This again contrasts with messengers from the house of the Centurion asking the Lord not to come, but just to say the word for the curing.</p>
