Laurence The bible is not open to other interpretations. Your instinct is right. If it says that he took her hand and told her to rise - that's what happened and nothing more. Thanks for asking.

Hi,everyone!Grace and peace unto all.This issue came across my radar screen when I heard a T.V.preacher claim that this particular verse actually translates as...Jesus wrapped her in his tallit(h)the traditional Jewish prayer shawl!Now,it's possible this verse should be translated that way,but so far I'm not seeing it.The individual in question has a strong affinity for the Nation of Israel;that's not as problem,but he has a propensity for indulging in what I deem"overly creative"interpretations as a result of this affinity(Somewhat reminds you of Origen!)-At any rate,I'd like some feedback on this alternate interpretation,please-Peace and Love in Christ Jesus!
