Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 5:30

And straightway Jesus perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments?Who touched ...? Evidently, from the ensuing remark of the apostles, many had jostled him; but someone had touched in a far more meaningful manner. Of course, Jesus knew already who had touched, had already judged her faith, and had by his own volition healed her. We should not fall into her superstition by supposing the tassel did it!... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 5:30-34

Mark 5:30-34. And Jesus, immediately knowing, &c.— It was for the reasons alleged in the last note, that Jesus would by no means allow the opinion which this woman entertained of his power and goodness to pass silent and unapplauded: therefore he immediately turned about in the crowd, and asked who it was that had touched his clothes. He knew the person, for he knew all things; and no virtue or miraculous cure could be derived from him, unless by his own consent; but he spake in this... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 5:30

30. And Jesus immediately knowing in himself that virtue—or "efficacy." had gone out of him—He was conscious of the forthgoing of His healing power, which was not—as in prophets and apostles—something foreign to Himself and imparted merely, but what He had dwelling within Him as "His own fulness." turned him about in the press—crowd. and said, Who touched my clothes? read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 5:30-32

Just as quickly (Gr. euthys) Jesus perceived that power had gone from Him. The harshness of the disciples’ reply is unique to Mark. Luke wrote that Peter voiced it (Luke 8:45). Probably the disciples were eager to get Jesus to Jairus’ house before it was too late. Yet Jesus wanted to speak to the woman and to assure her that it was her faith in Him that had resulted in her healing, not merely her touch. He "looked around" searching the faces in the crowd to discover the person of faith."His... read more

The Gadarene Demoniac. Jairus’ Daughter1-20. The Gadarene (Gerasene) demoniac (Matthew 8:28; Luke 8:26). See on Mt; Mk’s account is much the fullest.1. Gadarenes] RV ’Gerasenes.’9. Mk and Lk (not Mt) state that the man called himself ’Legion,’ because he believed himself to be possessed by numerous devils.18-20. Our Lord thought the quiet of home life better for the man than the excitement of going about with Him. He told him to proclaim the miracle, because in this mainly Gentile district... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 5:22-43

(22-43) And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers.—See Notes on Matthew 9:18-25, where the narrative is found in a different connection as coming immediately after the feast in St. Matthew’s house, which St. Mark has given in Mark 2:14-18.Jairus.—The name is given by St. Mark and St. Luke only. It was a Græcised form of the Jair of Judges 10:3, Numbers 32:41. It meets us in the Apocryphal portion of Esther (xi. 2) as the name of the father of Mardocheus, or Mordecai. read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 5:30

(30) That virtue had gone out of him.—Literally, knowing fully in Himself the virtue that had gone out of Him. The word “virtue” is used in the old medical sense, the power or force which brings about a certain definite result. So men spoke of the soporific “virtue” of this or that drug. And the term is used here, not less than in Luke 5:17, with a like technical precision, for the supernatural power that, as it were, flowed out at the touch of faith. 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

CHAPTER 5:21-43 (Mark 5:21-43)WITH JAIRUS"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. And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and seeing Him, he falleth at His feet, and beseecheth Him much, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: I pray Thee that Thou come and lay Thy hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live. And He went with him; and a great multitude... read more
