Exegesis
The appositional clause to korasion soi lego egeire {Τὸ κοράσιον σοὶ λέγω ἔγειρε | Tò ko-RÁ-si-on soì lé-gō é-gei-re} unpacks the meaning: Tò korasion is the vocative-like address “The little girl,” soi lego fronted for emphasis makes the address intensely personal, “to you I say,” and the imperative egeire delivers the authoritative command “arise.” The structure moves from narrative (participial clause) to direct address in a foreign language, then to an interpretive gloss in Greek, underlining both the historical authenticity of Jesus’ words and their authoritative, life-restoring force.
Root and etymology
