Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Mark 5:21-43

(21) And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea. (22) And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, (23) And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee,, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. (24) And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 5:21-34

21-34 A despised gospel will go where it will be better received. One of the rulers of a synagogue earnestly besought Christ for a little daughter, about twelve years old, who was dying. Another cure was wrought by the way. We should do good, not only when in the house, but when we walk by the way, Deuteronomy 6:7. It is common with people not to apply to Christ till they have tried in vain all other helpers, and find them, as certainly they will, physicians of no value. Some run to diversions... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 5:1-99

Mark 5 THE CONVICTION, as to “what manner of Man” the Lord Jesus is, once having been reached by faith, it carries with it the assurance that He must be equal to meeting every emergency. Yet, even so, it is well for the disciple to actually see Him dealing with men, and with the troubles that have come upon them by reason of sin, in His delivering mercy. In this chapter we see the Lord displaying His power, and thereby educating His disciples still further. That education may be ours also as... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 5:25-29

The woman with an issue of blood: v. 25. And a certain woman, which had had an issue of blood twelve years, v. 26. and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, v. 27. when she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched His garment. v. 28. For she said, If I may touch but His clothes, I shall be whole. v. 29. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her... read more

Johann Peter Lange

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Mark 5:21-43

6. Conflict of Jesus with desponding Unbelief on the Sick-bed and Bed of Death; Healing of the Woman with the Issue of Blood; Restoration of Jairus’ Daughter; and Triumph of Jesus over the Healing Art, and the World’s Lamentations for the Dead. Mark 5:21-43.(Parallels: Matthew 9:1; Matthew 9:18-26; Luke 8:40-56)21And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people 22gathered unto him; and he was nigh unto the sea. And, behold,9 there cometh one of the rulers of the... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 5:21-43

Hope for the Hopeless Mark 5:21-43 We turn from the demon-driven man to this woman, weakened by long disease. For the one there was the outward manifestation of evil, but for the other inward wasting and decay. Let those who are conscious of the ravages of evil in their hearts, destroying their strength, establish connection with Christ as slight as the finger’s touch of the garment hem, and forthwith His virtue will enter and stay their inward malady. His power is ever going forth, and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 5:1-43

Nevertheless the men of Gadara "began to beseech Him to depart from their borders" (verse Mar 5:17 ). The price was too heavy; their pigs were destroyed. There is heartbreak here. Jairus fell at His feet, and said, "My little daughter is at the point of death." "And He went with him." Of course He did! Exposition is superfluous. The procession to Jairus' house halted. The deep compassion of the Master's heart could not pass on without coming into very close dealing with this poor, broken,... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:25-27

THE BELIEVING ONE AND THE UNBELIEVING MANY‘And a certain woman … when she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched His garment.’ Mark 5:25-Daniel : I. The mighty difference.—There is a great difference—it may be a difference for us as of life and death—between thronging Jesus and touching Him. The multitude thronged Him; only this faithful woman touched Him. There was nothing to the outward eye which should distinguish between her action and theirs. St. Peter and the other... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 5:1-43

SECTION 3. Jesus’ Ministry Throughout Galilee and In The Surrounding Regions (4:35-9:32). After the initial opening up of the story of Jesus with its continual emphasis on His unique authority, Who He was and what He had come to do (Mark 4:1-3), and the series of parables which have indicated how the Kingly Rule of God was to expand (Mark 4:1-34), Mark now indicates how this expansion continued to occur through the ministry of Jesus in Galilee and the surrounding regions. At the same time he... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 5:21-43

Jesus Demonstrates His Power and Authority Over Life and Death (5:21-43). Having demonstrated His power over nature, and then over the world of evil spirits, Jesus will now demonstrate His power over life and death by the raising of Jairus’ daughter. That she was truly dead is quite clear, and she was said to be twelve years old. In conjunction with the fact that the woman with permanent bleeding had suffered it for twelve years the number is probably significant. Twelve is the number of the... read more
