Mark 5:38-42. He seeth the tumult The crowd of people that wept and wailed greatly Greek αλαλαζοντας πολλα , howling much, as some render the word. “From several passages of Scripture, (see Jeremiah 9:17; Jeremiah 16:6-7; Ezekiel 24:17,) it appears that the people of the East used to bewail the dead by tearing their hair, and cutting their flesh, and crying most bitterly. Nor did the relations of the deceased content themselves with these expressions of violent grief. They hired persons... read more

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). Jesus knew that someone was seeking his help in this way, and did not want the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 5:42

And straightway the damsel rose up, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed straightway with a great amazement.It is a strange coincidence that the age of this child corresponded exactly with the twelve years of sufferings endured by the woman, suggesting some connection here that is not apparent to us. All commentators are intrigued with it, but none has the solution. As McMillan said:It is tempting to speculate on this seeming coincidence. Surely, however, if the woman... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 5:42-43

Mark 5:42-43. And straightway the damsel arose, &c.— The damsel was raised, not in the languishing condition of those who come to life after having fainted away; but she was in a state of confirmedgood health, being hungry: this circumstance effectually shewing the greatness and perfection of the miracle, Jesus brought it to pass on purpose in her resurrection. To make the witnesses sensible of it likewise, he ordered some meat to be given her, which she took, probably, in the presence of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 5:35-43

1. The demonstrations of Jesus’ power 4:35-5:43There are four miracles in this section. Jesus authenticated His words (Mark 4:1-34) with His works (Mark 4:35 to Mark 5:43). He demonstrated power over nature, demons, illness, and death. The purpose of these miracles was to demonstrate Jesus’ ability to vanquish all powers that are hostile to God.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 5:42

When Jesus restored life, recovery was instantaneous (Gr. euthys, twice in this verse), not gradual, as was also true with former prophets (cf. 1 Kings 17:19-20; 2 Kings 4:33). Perhaps Mark mentioned the girl’s age because she was 12 and the woman whom Jesus had just healed had suffered with her affliction for 12 years (Mark 5:25). The woman had begun living when she should have died from her incurable condition. The girl had died just when she should have begun living as a young woman. Jesus... read more
