The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:21-43

Avowed and hidden faith. The two incidents here grouped together show that in the neighborhood of Capernaum faith in Jesus' power to heal has been established; nor is it to be wondered at, seeing the many instances of healing with which the people must be acquainted. The picture is striking. The "Teacher" has returned from his sail across the lake, where truly "the power proceeding from him had gone forth," even the stormy wind yielding to it. A crowd gathers around him. He is standing by... read more

The faith of Jairus. Faith was the one thing which Christ demanded of every suppliant who came to him. He asked the blind man the question, "Believest thou that I am able to do this?" He said to the father of the lunatic child," All things are possible to him that believeth.' Here he assured the woman in the crowd who had been healed, "Thy faith hath saved thee;" and to Jairus he said, "Be not afraid, only believe." All these are exemplifications of the words, "Without faith it is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:22-23

One of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name . He appears to have been one of the "college of elders," who administered the affairs of the synagogue. The name Jairus, or " Ya eiros ," is probably the Greek form of the Hebrew Jair , "he will illuminate." He fell at his feet, and besought him greatly ; it is literally ( πίπτει καὶ παρεκάλει ), he falleth at his feet , and beseecheth him. We picture him to ourselves, making his way through the crowd, and as he approached... read more

And he went ( καὶ ἀπῆλθε μετ αὐτοῦ )—literally, and he went away with him— and a great multitude followed him , they thronged him ( συνέθλιβον αὐτόν ); literally, pressed close upon him , compressed h im. This is mentioned purposely by St. Mark, on account of what follows. St. Matthew says ( Matthew 9:19 ), "And Jesus arose, and so did his disciples." Observe here the promptitude of Christ to assist the afflicted. St. Chrysostom suggests that our Lord purposely... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:24

The Lord amongst the needy. The two miracles recorded in this passage were blended both in fact and in narrative, and together they illustrate some of the beauties of our Lord's character and work. Of these we select the following:— I. HIS DISINTERESTED KINDNESS . NO doubt his miracles were attestations of Divine power, but none of them were wrought with the idea of gaining personal fame. On the contrary, he endeavored to silence the demands of gaping curiosity, and rebuked... read more

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
