Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 5:21-43

59. Jairus’ daughter and a woman healed (Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 5:21-43; Luke 8:40-56)Back in the Jewish regions, a synagogue elder named Jairus asked Jesus to come and heal his seriously ill daughter. Seeing that the man had faith, Jesus set off for his house (Mark 5:21-24). On the way they were interrupted by a sick woman who believed that if she could only touch Jesus’ clothing she would be healed (Mark 5:25-29).

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 5:21

And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat unto the other side, a great multitude was gathered unto him; and he was by the sea.The other side ... means the western shore of Galilee; and the scene would have been the sky-sea-land theater in which the pulpit was a boat, not far from the city of Capernaum. In a sense, Capernaum was the ordinary residence of Jesus. As Bickersteth noted:Matthew (Matthew 4:13) tells us that he had left Nazareth, and was now dwelling at Capernaum, thus... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 5:21

21. And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side—from the Gadarene side of the lake, where He had parted with the healed demoniac, to the west side, at Capernaum. much people gathered unto him—who "gladly received Him; for they were all waiting for Him" (Luke 8:40). The abundant teaching earlier that day (Mark 4:1-34; Matthew 13:1-58) had only whetted the people's appetite: and disappointed, as would seem, that He had left them in the evening to cross the lake, they remain... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Mark 5:1-43

The Saviour and the Maniac Mark 5:18 Of all the encounters of Jesus with men, surely none is more striking than His meeting with the maniac whose home was among the tombs. Jesus had just left the boat, and stepped upon the shore, when from out one of the caves that served for a burying-place among the limestone hills there rushed towards Him a creature that seemed not so much like a human being as like an evil spirit incarnate. Perhaps the unhappy man had been watching the boat coming across... read more
