Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 5:35-43

There is nothing in this history needeth further notes for explication, than what we gave in the notes on Matthew, to which I here refer the reader; See Poole on "Matthew 9:18-19,Matthew 9:23", and following verses to Matthew 9:31. There is nothing more unaccountable in all the passages of our Saviour’s life recorded by the evangelists, than the charges that he gave to several persons healed by him, that no man should know it.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 5:21-43

Mark 5:21-43 The Daughter of Jairus. This story shows us: I. The Heart of Jesus.

All His sayings and doings, His death and resurrection, reveal a loving kindness to which there are no bounds. As the great ocean opens its bosom... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 5:35-43

Mark 5:35-43 This part of the incident shows how two views may be taken of the same case. I. There is the human view the child is dead, trouble not the Master. Men see the outside; they deal with facts rather than with principles; they see the circumference, not the centre. II. There is Christ's view only believe; man is called beyond facts, he is called into the sanctuary of God's secret. We often put the period where God Himself puts only a comma; we say "dead" when God Himself says... read more
