Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 5:21-34

The Gadarenes having desired Christ to leave their country, he did not stay to trouble them long, but presently went by water, as he came, back to the other side (Mark 5:21), and there much people gathered to him. Note, If there be some that reject Christ, yet there are others that receive him, and bid him welcome. A despised gospel will cross the water, and go where it will have better entertainment. Now among the many that applied themselves to him, I. Here is one, that comes openly to beg a... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 5:21-24

5:21-24 When Jesus had crossed over in the boat back again to the other side, a great crowd gathered together to him; and he was by the lakeside. One of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came to him; and, when he saw Jesus, he threw himself at his feet. He pled with him, "My little daughter is lying at death's door. Come and lay your hands on her, that she may be cured and live." Jesus went away with him; and the crowd were following him, and crushing in upon him on all sides. ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 5:22

And behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue ,.... Having heard of his return, and where he was; See Gill on Matthew 9:18 . Jairus by name ; in Hebrew יאיר , "Jair": and Jerom says F14 De Hebr. Nominibus in Luc. , it signifies "enlightening", or "enlightened": deriving it from אור , "to be light": and it is no doubt a Jewish name, since he was a ruler of the synagogue; and besides, it is often mentioned in the Old Testament, and particularly in Esther 2:5 ,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 5:23

And besought him greatly ,.... Used much importunity with him, and was very urgent in his requests: saying, my little daughter lieth at the point of death , or "is in the last extremity"; just breathing out her last; for she was not actually dead when he left her, though she was before he returned, and was at this time, as he might expect, expiring, or really gone; See Gill on Matthew 9:18 . I pray thee come and lay thine hands on her, that she may be healed, and she shall live ;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 5:24

And Jesus went with him ,.... Immediately without objecting to the weakness of his faith: and much people followed him ; to see the miracle performed, which they were exceedingly fond of: and thronged him ; so that it was with some difficulty and trouble that he passed along the streets to: the ruler's house. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 5:23

My little daughter - Το θυγατριον μου , that little daughter of mine. The words express much tenderness and concern. Luke observes, Luke 8:42 , that she was his only daughter, and was about twelve years of age. At the point of death - Εσχατως εχει , in the last extremity, the last gasp. See on Matthew 9:18 ; (note). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:21-34

Ministries broken in upon. Seldom do we find Christ going straight through with a course of teaching or work. Interruptions constantly occurring; many ministries making up the one great ministry. The more intimate connection of Mark 5:21 is given in Matthew 9:18 ("while he yet spake these things"). Not that Matthew means that Christ was still at table, nor that Mark's order is wrong. The feast of Matthew ( Mark 2:15 ) is not stated by Mark to have taken place in immediate succession... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:21-43

The maiden's spirit recalled. This narrative is a striking example of intercession, and of its appreciation and reward by the Lord Jesus. The suppliant, Jairus, pleaded for his daughter, and he did not plead in vain. Jesus wrought upon his behalf one of the three miracles of raising from the dead which have been recorded by the evangelists. I. MAN IS TROUBLED , AND JESUS IS COMPASSIONATE . The distress of a father's heart, when his child lies at the point of death, is... read more
