Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 8:40-56

c. The Raising Of Jairus’ Daughter (Luke 8:40-56)(Parallels: Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 5:21-43. Gospel for the 24th Sunday after Trinity.)40And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. 41And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler [the president] of the synagogue; and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: 42For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age,... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 8:43-48

Luke A MIRACLE WITHIN A MIRACLE Luk_8:43 - Luk_8:48 . The story of Jairus’s daughter is, as it were, cut in two by that of the poor invalid woman. What an impression of calm consciousness of power and of leisurely dignity is made by Christ’s having time to pause, even on His way to a dying sufferer, in order to heal, as if parenthetically, this other afflicted one! How Jairus must have chafed at the delay! He had left his child ‘at the point of death’ and here was the Healer loitering, as... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 8:40-56

Tender Ministry to Maid and Woman Luke 8:40-56 The story of the poor woman has been characterized as that of “Nobody, Somebody and Everybody.” Nobody, for she was sick and poor and fearful. Somebody, for she was worthy of Christ’s notice. He healed her and even stayed His progress to the house of Jairus to elicit her frank confession and pronounce a further word of peace. Everybody, for her story not only helped Jairus, but has been a blessing to mankind; because we also have been the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 8:1-56

Luke here refers to our Lord's journeyings, and reveals the interesting and beautiful fact of how women of wealth provided for him on the material level, ministering to Him of their substance. At this point Luke records the parable of the sower, which forever divides into four sections those who hear the proclamation of the Word: first, those in whom His truth can produce no results, wayside hearers; second, those whose power of hearing is superficial, rock hearers; third, those in whom other... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 8:41-56

The Raising of the Daughter of Jairus Luke 8:41-56 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Death comes alike to all. The human race from the very beginning has fallen under the sway and power of death. God said unto Adam: "In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Therefore, Adam and his wife were dead, dead in trespasses and in sins from the moment of their disobedience. They also had physical death written upon them. Every son begotten of Adam's race from that day to this, was born with a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 8:19-56

3). Jesus is Revealed As The Messiah Who Has Come With Power (8:19-9:36). In this third part of Section 3 Jesus is Revealed as the glorious Messiah Who has come with power but will be involved in suffering and death (Luke 8:19 to Luke 9:36). It may be analysed as follows: a He no longer owns responsibility to His own family who do not believe in Him, and are on the outside (His own do not recognise Him) (Luke 8:19-21). b He is revealed as the One Who is from above by quelling the storm,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 8:30-56

Jesus Raises the Dead, Revealing His Power and Authority Over Death (8:30-56). Having been rejected by His own family, and having revealed His power and authority by quelling the storm and raging sea, and by dealing with a legion of evil spirits, Jesus was now about to enter a new realm, the realm of death itself. Nature, the spirit world and death are to be seen as under His control. Only man resists Him. In what follows Jesus goes to the aid of a young twelve year old girl who has died, and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 8:42

‘For he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the crowds thronged him.’ This man came to Jesus and told Him that his daughter who was twelve years of age, and thus on the verge of adult life, was dying. So Jesus went with him. But the crowds were thronging Him and delaying Him. read more

‘And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, and could not be healed of any, came behind him, and touched the border of his robe, and immediately the issue of her blood stanched.’ And in that crowd was a woman who ought not to have been there, for she was permanently ritually unclean (Leviticus 15:25). She had a flow of vaginal blood that never stopped flowing. She had spent a fortune on doctors, and now she was in poverty and all hope had... read more

Luke 7:12, Luke 9:38. read more
