Greek Expositor (anonymous), on Luke 8:40

“And it came to pass, that when Jesus was returned, the multitude received him: for they were all waiting for him.”

“(Asterius.) But the cause of his coming is told by adding, For he had only one daughter, the prop of his house, the succession of his race, about twelve years old, in the very flower of her age; and she lay dying, about to be carried to the grave instead of her nuptial bed.”
