“And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.”
When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, don't cry — the Lord (ho kyrios) — Luke's title for Jesus in the narrative voice — saw her. His heart went out to her (esplagchnisthē, was moved in the bowels, the deepest compassion) is the same visceral compassion as the feeding miracles. Don't cry: the command to stop weeping precedes any explanation — the comfort comes before the reason.
