Luke 8:42-43

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 8:40-42

Jairus’ request 8:40-42a (cf. Matthew 9:18-19; Mark 5:21-23)Jesus returned from the southeast side of the lake to its northwest side where this incident happened. Multitudes welcomed Jesus because He had become popular in that area by working many other miracles. Jairus’ position as a synagogue ruler shows that some influential Jewish leaders had believed on Him. Luke alone wrote that the girl was Jairus’ only (Gr. monogenes, cf. John 3:16) daughter. This detail adds to the pathos of the story.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 8:40-56

3. The healing of a woman with a hemorrhage and the raising of Jairus’ daughter 8:40-56Luke, as the other synoptic evangelists, recorded this double miracle in its historical sequence. These are the only intertwined miracles in the Gospels. One miracle involved providing deliverance from disease and the other deliverance from death. Both of them demonstrated the power and compassion of Jesus and the importance of faith in Him. The tension created in the Jairus’ story by the interruption of the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 8:42-43

The crowd that Luke described graphically as pressing against Jesus and almost crushing Him created the scene in which the woman approached Jesus. The exact reason for her continual bleeding is unknown and unimportant. This condition resulted in her discomfort, inconvenience, ritual uncleanness, and embarrassment. Some commentators believe that Luke’s omission of the fact that she had spent all her money on doctors who could not cure here was his attempt to guard the reputation of his... read more

(41-56) And, behold, there came a man named Jairus.—See Notes on Matthew 9:18-26, and Mark 5:21-43. St. Luke’s narrative agrees with St. Mark’s more closely than with St. Matthew’s. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 8:42

(42) About twelve years of age.—St. Luke, as with the precision of a practised writer, names the age at the beginning of the narrative, St. Mark incidentally (Mark 5:42) at its close. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 8:43

(43) Neither could be healed of any.—It is, perhaps, worth noting that while St. Luke records the failure of the physicians to heal the woman, he does not add, as St. Mark does, that she “rather grew worse” (Mark 5:26). read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 8:1-56

Luke 8:2-3 This passage, one of Luke's special contributions to the gospel narrative, describes the double circle of Christ's followers. (a) And with Him, the twelve, i.e. those specially called to high enterprise and service. This represents the circle of people in the Church who are conscious of a definite vocation and moved by the Spirit of Christ to serve the Church with consecrated lives. (b) But alongside of these are certain women which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities,... read more
