Matthew 9:23
Douay-Rheims
And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout,
Rabanus Maurus
Morally; The damsel dead in the house is the soul dead in thought. He says that she is asleep, because they that are now asleep in sin may yet be roused by penitence. The minstrels are flatterers who cherish the dead.
