What the Fathers say

Mark 5:43

Eastern Fathers

Theophylact of Ohrid

He commands that she be given something to eat in order to confirm that the resurrection was a real event and not an imaginary one.

Commentary on Mark ↗

Western Saints

Jerome

For whenever he raised anyone from the dead he ordered that food should be given him to eat, lest the resurrection should be thought a delusion. And this is why Lazarus after his resurrection is described as being at the feast with our Lord.
