Reverse Greek Commentary Search for Luke 8:50
This is from the reading ἀκούσας , (Luke 8:50). The correct reading is παρακούσας , which may be rendered either not heeding, as Rev. (compare Matthew 18:17), or over -hearing, as Rev. in margin, which, on the whole, seems the more natural. Disregarding would be more appropriate if the message had been addressed to Jesus himself; but it was addressed to the ruler. Jesus overheard it. The present participle, λαλούμενον , being spoken, seems to fall in with this. [source]
This is the sense in Matthew 18:17 and uniformly so in the lxx. But here the other sense of hearing aside, overhearing what was not spoken directly to him, probably exists also. “Jesus might overhear what was said and disregard its import” (Bruce). Certainly he ignored the conclusion of the messengers. The present participle λαλουμενον laloumenon suits best the idea of overhearing. Both Mark and Luke 8:50 have “Fear not, only believe” This to the ruler of the synagogue (tōi archisunagōgōi) who had remained and to whom the messenger had spoken. [source]
