Mark 5:26 NIV,NKJV

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:25-26

A woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years . All the synoptic Gospels mention the length of time during which she had been suffering. Eusebius records a tradition that she was a Gentile, a native of Caesarea Philippi. This disease was a chronic hoemorrhage, for which she had found no relief from the physicians. Lightfoot, in his 'Horae Hebraicae,' gives a list of the remedies applied in such cases, which seem quite sufficient to account for St. Mark's statement that she was nothing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:25-34

Faith conquering timidity. Far from withdrawing from scenes of distress and woe, our Lord Jesus was found wherever human sin or misery invited his compassion and invoked his aid. On this occasion he was passing towards the house of mourning, the chamber of death, and on his way paused to pity and to heal a helpless, timid, trembling sufferer. I. A PICTURE THIS OF HUMAN NEED AND SUFFERING . Amidst the thronging multitude were persons of various circumstances, character,... read more

The healing of the issue of blood. The magnifying power of faith. 'Twas but a touch, humanly speaking; yet was it a means of salvation to the believing soul. I. TRANSFORMING LITTLE THINGS INTO MEANS OF GRACE . 1 . Many touches , but only one touch of faith. This alone was effectual and saving. It is not human effort that saves, but the spirit of faith that lays hold of Christ. 2 . Only the hem of his garment. Yet as effectual as if she had touched the body... read more

Salvation without money and without price. A figure of the spiritual experience of man. I. CONTRASTED WITH EARTHLY EXPEDIENTS OF SALVATION , These are expensive because: 1 . They waste the spiritual nature of man. 2 . They increase rather than diminish the evil. How forlorn the poor woman! How great the contrast with the "sleeping" child! Death in life is far worse than the natural death. It is not mourned for as the latter, and has all the added sorrow of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:25-34

The little of things of Christ great things for men. How great an idea this woman had of Christ! If there was any fault, it was that she believed in the power, but did not trust the love of Christ. Yet her humility, which was as manifest as her faith, and her shame may account in great part for the stealth and surreptitiousness of her action. I. MEANS OF GRACE ARE NOT TO BE DESPISED BECAUSE THEY APPEAR OUTWARDLY INSIGNIFICANT . Superstition, ritualism, etc.,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:25-34

The magic of faith. I. THE CURE OF THE SICK WOMAN RESEMBLES A MAGICAL CURE . Magical belief universally prevailed. The principle of it was, an operation on the nervous system through the wishes and the imagination. A representation in the mind of a cure is assumed, and acted on as a reality. So mysterious and great is the power of imagination over the mechanism of life, that cures might occasionally occur without any real cause external to the sufferer's mind. II. ... read more

Mark 5:22-28. There cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue Probably that at Capernaum.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 5:21-43

59. Jairus’ daughter and a woman healed (Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 5:21-43; Luke 8:40-56)Back in the Jewish regions, a synagogue elder named Jairus asked Jesus to come and heal his seriously ill daughter. Seeing that the man had faith, Jesus set off for his house (Mark 5:21-24). On the way they were interrupted by a sick woman who believed that if she could only touch Jesus’ clothing she would be healed (Mark 5:25-29). Jesus knew that someone was seeking his help in this way, and did not want the... read more
