Marcos 5:40 ARC

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 5:39-40

‘And when he was entered in he says to them, “Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping.” And they laughed him to scorn.’ ‘When He was entered in.’ He said nothing to those who wept outside. They were just doing their job. But He wanted to give assurance to the family and servants. There was no need to arrange all this show of mourning, for the child would once more arise. ‘The child is not dead, but sleeping.’ It is strange how some who argue that Jesus did not... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 5:40-42

‘But he, having put them all out, takes the father of the child, and her mother, and those who were with him, and goes in where the child was. And taking the child by the hand he says to her “Talitha cumi”, which is being interpreted, ‘Young woman, I say to you, arise’. And immediately the young woman rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old.’ Jesus knew that He was about to perform what would seem to others as the miracle of miracles. He did not want witnesses who would spread the news... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 5:1-43

Mark 4:35 to Mark 5:43 . Four Wonder-Stories.— The stilling of the tempest, the healing of the demoniac and of the woman, and the raising of Jairus’ daughter form one of the most graphic sections of Mk.’ s narrative. These stories have clearly been often told, and the evangelist delights to tell them. They seem to rest on unmistakable history. Thus the reference to the other little boats ( Mark 4:36) reproduces an insignificant detail that naturally remained in the memory of an eye-witness (... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 5:35-43

There is nothing in this history needeth further notes for explication, than what we gave in the notes on Matthew, to which I here refer the reader; See Poole on "Matthew 9:18-19,Matthew 9:23", and following verses to Matthew 9:31. There is nothing more unaccountable in all the passages of our Saviour’s life recorded by the evangelists, than the charges that he gave to several persons healed by him, that no man should know it. Especially if we consider: 1. That he did not charge all so; he bid... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Mark 5:21-43

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESMark 5:22. Rulers of the synagogue.—The synagogues had no clergy, but were managed by laymen, who conducted or superintended the services, and administered discipline. The rulers of Capernaum had already (Luke 7:3) approached our Lord on behalf of the centurion who built their synagogue. Now one of them comes to prefer a petition on his own account.Mark 5:25. An issue of blood.—Hæmorrhage. See Leviticus 15:19-30.Mark 5:36. As soon as Jesus heard.—For another reading... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 5:21-43

Mark 5:21-43 The Daughter of Jairus. This story shows us: I. The Heart of Jesus. Many are anxious to find out what the face of Jesus was like, but our concern should be to know how His heart feels towards us. If you lay your hand upon any page in the gospels, you will feel the throbbings of a heart full of wonderful pity for all sinners and sufferers. All His sayings and doings, His death and resurrection, reveal a loving kindness to which there are no bounds. As the great ocean opens its bosom... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 5:35-43

Mark 5:35-43 This part of the incident shows how two views may be taken of the same case. I. There is the human view the child is dead, trouble not the Master. Men see the outside; they deal with facts rather than with principles; they see the circumference, not the centre. II. There is Christ's view only believe; man is called beyond facts, he is called into the sanctuary of God's secret. We often put the period where God Himself puts only a comma; we say "dead" when God Himself says... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Mark 5:1-43

Chapter 5And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes ( Mark 5:1 ).Now, that is on the eastern side of the Sea of Galilee. It is the area near the beginning of the Golan Heights and Gilead. The area when Moses was bringing the people toward the land for their conquest, they had passed over the other side of the Jordan and had gone up in the area through Moab, and up to the area of the Ammonites and all, which was this area to the east of the Sea of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Mark 5:1-43

Mark 5:9 . What is thy name? Our Saviour asked this to show the great power which demons have over men, when permitted of God. Mark 5:25 . A certain woman. See Luke 8:43. Mark 5:36 . Be not afraid, only believe, for there was no fear of the ruler’s faith exceeding the power of God. Faith should always enlarge itself to the full extent of the promises. Mark 5:37 . He suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother. The mourners were not... read more
