Breaking Rules: Jesus, Jairus, and the unnamed Women (Mark 5:21-43) 13th Sunday of Ordinary Time (Year B) Yes, these are stories of great faith. The miracles display Jesus’ power over sickness and death to bring restoration even to hopeless situations. But Jesus, Jairus, and the unnamed women broke some rules – perhaps in desperation (Mark 5:21-43). Before we see what rules Jesus broke, let’s see what was at stake for Jairus and the unnamed woman.
Mark 5:21-43 is a story within a story. Jesus was requested by Jairus, a synagogue official, to heal his dying daughter. As Jesus walk towards Jairus’s house, a woman suffering from hemorrhage was healed just by touching the cloak of Jesus’ garment. The interruption created commotion and Jesus was delayed healing Jairus’ daughter before her death. And you know the story – Jesus raised the Jairus’ daughter to life: saying she was sleeping.
