Luke 8:54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. (KJV)
There was an opportunity for those who were in the house to see Jesus perform a wonderful miracle. They choose rather to scorn Him, to laugh at Him, to respond to His invitation with disbelief and ridicule.
They saw her and her condition in accordance with the wisdom of man and chose not to listen to the wisdom of God. As a result, Jesus put them out before performing His miracle. Now the only thing they knew when she walked out of the house was that they were wrong, and Jesus was right.
There is only shame in that understanding. There is no recognition of the power of God. There is no wonder, no awe, no rejoicing, no worship of Jesus in simply saying, "Wow, she really was sleeping."
Oh, Mark; don't make Jesus put you out.
