Mark 5:42 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 5:35-43

Diseases and deaths came into the world by the sin and disobedience of the first Adam; but by the grace of the second Adam both are conquered. Christ, having healed an incurable disease, here goes on to triumph over death, as in the beginning of the chapter he had triumphed over an outrageous devil. I. The melancholy news is brought to Jairus, that his daughter is dead, and therefore, if Christ be as other physicians, he comes too late. While there is life, there is hope, and room for the use... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 5:40-43

5:40-43 But he put them all out, and he took with him the father of the little girl, and the mother and his own friends, and went into the room where the little girl was. He took the little girl by the hand, and he said to her, "Maid! I say to you, Arise!" Immediately the maid arose and walked around, for she was about twelve years of age. And immediately they were amazed with a great astonishment. He gave them strong injunctions that no one should know about this. And he ordered that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 5:42

And straightway the damsel arose, and walked ,.... As soon as ever the above words were pronounced by Christ, such divine power went along with them, that the child returned to life; and raised herself up from the bed, got off of it, and walked about the room in perfect health and strength: for she was of the age of twelve years ; and so, when alive and well, was able to walk; though one of this age was called a little one, as this is by another evangelist; See Gill on Matthew 9:18 , ... read more

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

Avowed and hidden faith. The two incidents here grouped together show that in the neighborhood of Capernaum faith in Jesus' power to heal has been established; nor is it to be wondered at, seeing the many instances of healing with which the people must be acquainted. The picture is striking. The "Teacher" has returned from his sail across the lake, where truly "the power proceeding from him had gone forth," even the stormy wind yielding to it. A crowd gathers around him. He is standing by... read more

Parallel passages: Matthew 9:18-26 ; Luke 8:41-56 .— Touching in the throng. I. The woman with an issue of blood. 1 . A painful disease. The woman mentioned in this section had been a sorely afflicted sufferer. For twelve long and weary years she had suffered from a painful and weakening malady ( ἐν ῥύσει , the preposition ἐν here resembles the beth essentive of Hebrew, denoting in the capacity, character, or condition of, i.e. in the condition of an issue).... read more

Life victorious. I. LIFE IN ITS FULNESS KNOWS NO FEAR . Cruel anxieties for the life of those we love are hushed by the voice of Jesus. He ignores death, being the resurrection and the life. We are under a deception of the senses, which Christ saw through. "The child did not die, but is sleeping." From another point of view our saddest facts may be lustrous with the significance of joy. II. LIFE IS COMMANDING . "I say, Arise!" And the words are instantly obeyed.... read more

Here, as in other miracles, the restoration was immediate and complete: straightway the damsel rose up, and walked . Well might the father and the mother of the maiden and the three chosen apostles be amazed with a great amazement ( ἐξέστησαν ἐκστάσει μεγάλῃ ). And then, for the purpose of strengthening that life which he rescued from the jaws of the grave, our Lord commanded that something should be given her to eat . It has often been observed that in the examples of his... read more
