Mark 5:35

If the disciples had been impatient (Mark 5:31), how much more so must Jairus have been. How his heart must have broken when word reached him that his daughter had died. The people who reported the death of Jairus’ daughter regarded Jesus as simply a teacher or rabbi. They believed He could only help the living.

"There is no hint of anyone taking it amiss that Jesus did not proceed as fast as He could to Jairus’ house; or that He could have dealt with the haemorrhage [sic] after the more serious case of the child at death’s door. . . . It is quite Palestinian still to do the things that need doing at the psychological juncture." [Note: Eric F. F. Bishop, Jesus of Palestine, p. 137.]
