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's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 5:21-23

‘And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd was gathered to him, and he was by the sea, and there comes one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him he falls at his feet, and pleads with him, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. I beg you that you will come and lay your hands on her that she may be made whole and live.” ’ Again the source of this information remembers where they were when Jairus came with his... read more

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 5:24

‘And he went with him, and a great crowd followed him, and they pressed in on him.’ Jesus responded to his request, and the crowd naturally followed in order to see another miracle. Indeed He was surrounded by them as they moved along with Him, and they were pressing in close on Him not wanting to miss anything. Jairus was probably considerably upset, for the crowd were slowing down their progress. He was soon to become even more upset. 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's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 5:21-24

This whole history also is recorded both by Matthew and Luke, and we have already fully opened the several passages of it mentioned by all the evangelists, to which we refer the reader. (See Poole on "Matthew 9:18", &c.), Christ was now come over again into Galilee, where though the temple was not, yet there were synagogues, where the people did ordinarily assemble to worship God. Nor were they without order in these synagogues; they had one whom they called the ruler of the synagogue, who... read more

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

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 5:22-24

Mark 5:22-24 The case of the ruler may be treated as showing the instructive-ness of domestic affliction. I. It shows the helplessness even of the greatest men the applicant was a ruler, yet his rulership was of no avail in this case. II. It shows the helplessness even of the kindest men the applicant was a father, yet all his yearning affection was unable to suggest a remedy for his afflicted child. III. It shows the need of Christ in every life. Parker, City Temple, 1871, p. 93. ... read more

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
