Church Fathers on Matthew 9:24
After the healing of the woman with the issue of blood, follows the raising of the dead; 'And when Jesus was come into the ruler’s house.'
We may suppose that He proceeded slowly, and spake longer to the woman whom He had healed, that He might suffer the maid to die, and thus an evident miracle of restoring to life might be wrought. In the case of Lazarus also He waited till the third day.
For by the ancient custom minstrels were engaged to make lamentation for the dead.
