The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 9:18-19

The Daughter of Jairus. v. 18. While He spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler and worshiped Him, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come, and lay Thy hand upon her, and she shall live. v. 19. And Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His disciples. Jesus was still in earnest conversation with the Pharisees and the disciples of John, when there was an interruption. A ruler, or elder, of the synagogue at Capernaum, a man of some influence, coming in,... read more

VIThe woman with an issue of blood, and the dead maiden; or, the twofold miracle.—Miraculous working of the Lord in the face of despair and deathMatthew 9:18-26(The Gospel for the 24th Sunday after Trinity.—Parallels: Mark 5:22-43; Luke 8:41-56.)18While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain [there came in a]15 ruler [of the synagogue], and worshipped him, saying,16 My daughter is even now dead [has just now died]: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Matthew 9:18-31

Matthew THE TOUCH OF FAITH AND THE TOUCH OF CHRIST Mat_9:18-31 . The three miracles included in the present section belong to the last group of this series. Those of the second group were all effected by Christ’s word. Those now to be considered are all effected by touch. The first two are intertwined. The narrative of the healing of the woman is embedded in the account of the raising of Jairus’s daughter. Mark the impression of calm consciousness of power and leisurely dignity produced by... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 9:18-26

Lord of Life and Death Matthew 9:18-26 No grief appeals to Christ in vain. He always arises to follow. Let us as His disciples ever follow where He leads. We are permitted to be His fellow-workers and to help by our sympathy, prayers, and faith. This poor woman’s faith was very imperfect. She believed that there was virtue in His dress, as the ritualist in the emblems of His death. She cared more for her healing than for the healer. She was full of fear and trembling. But her touch was a... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 9:1-38

The King now exercised His authority in a new way. He pronounced pardon on a sinner, and straightway opposition was aroused. To the questioning and rebellious hearts He vindicated His authority to forgive sins by a different exhibition of power, the power of healing. The effect was instantaneous and remarkable. The multitudes feared and glorified God. The record of a triumphal progress of the Shepherd King follows. A ruler, a woman ostracized because of her plague, two blind men, a dumb man... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:10-34

What Jesus Has To Offer And The Growth of Pharisaic Opposition (9:10-34). We are now informed about the first open opposition among the Pharisees to Jesus. The Pharisees had seemingly previously approached John with a critical attitude, along with the Sadducees. They had felt that it was their duty to vet any new prophet. But they had been firmly put in their place (Matthew 3:7-9). Now they will begin to criticise Jesus, and their criticism will grow and will continue on to the end. Not all... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:18-26

The Raising of A Ruler’s Daughter And The Healing Of The Woman With A Discharge of Blood (9:18-26). No better illustration of the fact that the new had come can be found than here. In the raising of the anonymous Ruler’s daughter we are provided with a foretaste of the resurrection. It was a pointer to the fact that to all ‘Rulers’, as to all men and women, new life was being offered. And in the woman who was made clean we have a picture of the prospective new Israel who need to reach out and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:19

‘And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.’ Responding to the Ruler’s plea Jesus arose from where He was sat teaching, and followed him, accompanied by His disciples. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:18-26

Matthew 9:18-Ezekiel : . Jairas’ Daughter and the Woman with Haemorrhage ( Mark 5:21-John : *, Luke 8:40-Titus :).— Mt. records in nine verses what Mk. takes twenty-three to tell. He again forsakes Mk.’ s order, postponing Mark 2:23 to Mark 4:34 till later (chs. 12, 10, 13). Despite his compression Mt. remarks that the woman (? Veronica) touched the sacred tassel ( Numbers 15:38) of Jesus’ dress, and that the cure was immediate and permanent (“ from that hour” ). As with the paralytic (... read more

Mark hath this history, Mark 5:22-24, And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, and besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. Luke hath it, Luke 8:42, adding only that she was his only daughter, twelve years of age. Two... read more
