The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 5:1-43

The Human and the Divine [An Analysis] Mark 5:0 This story may be viewed in four aspects: I. The human; II. The Divine; III. The Diabolic; IV. The Social. I. The Human. The human aspect is seen both in shadow and in light: (1) As seen in shadow: ( a ) man impure, unclean spirit; ( b ) man dissocialised, his dwelling was among the tombs; ( c ) man unrestrained, no man could tame him, no, not with chains; ( d ) man self-tormented, crying and cutting himself with stones. (2) As seen in light:... read more

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

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Mark 5:23

St. Matthew says: my daughter is even now dead. The sense in both is exactly the same. St. Matthew attended rather to the thoughts of Jarius, than to his words; for, as he left her dying, he could not reasonably hope to find her still in the same state; and, as he expected she was already dead, when he spoke this to Jesus, St. Matthew relates what the man thought at that instant, not what he said.

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

Frank Binford Hole

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

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.

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Mark 5:22-24

Mark TALITHA CUMI Mar_5:22 - Mar_5:24 , Mar_5:35 - Mar_5:43 . The scene of this miracle was probably Capernaum; its time, according to Matthew, was the feast at his house after his call. Mark’s date appears to be later, but he may have anticipated the feast in his narrative, in order to keep the whole of the incidents relating to Matthew’s apostleship together. Jairus’s knowledge of Jesus is implied in the story, and perhaps Jesus’ acquaintance with him. I. We note, first, the agonised... 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
