22 And, G2532 behold, G2400 there cometh G2064 one G1520 of the rulers of the synagogue, G752 Jairus G2383 by name; G3686 and G2532 when he saw G1492 him, G846 he fell G4098 at G4314 his G846 feet, G4228
While G2089 he G846 yet G2089 spake, G2980 there came G2064 from G575 the ruler of the synagogue's G752 house certain which said, G3004 G3754 Thy G4675 daughter G2364 is dead: G599 why G5101 troublest thou G4660 the Master G1320 any further? G2089 As soon as G1161 G2112 Jesus G2424 heard G191 the word G3056 that was spoken, G2980 he saith G3004 unto the ruler of the synagogue, G752 Be G5399 not G3361 afraid, G5399 only G3440 believe. G4100
While he G846 spake G2980 these things G5023 unto them, G846 behold, G2400 there came G2064 a certain G1520 ruler, G758 and worshipped G4352 him, G846 saying, G3004 G3754 My G3450 daughter G2364 is even now G737 dead: G5053 but G235 come G2064 and lay G2007 thy G4675 hand G5495 upon G1909 her, G846 and G2532 she shall live. G2198 And G2532 Jesus G2424 arose, G1453 and followed G190 him, G846 and G2532 so did his G846 disciples. G3101 And, G2532 behold, G2400 a woman, G1135 which was diseased with an issue of blood G131 twelve G1427 years, G2094 came G4334 behind G3693 him, and touched G680 the hem G2899 of his G846 garment: G2440 For G1063 she said G3004 within G1722 herself, G1438 If G1437 I may G680 but G3440 touch G680 his G846 garment, G2440 I shall be whole. G4982 But G1161 Jesus G2424 turned him about, G1994 and G2532 when he saw G1492 her, G846 he said, G2036 Daughter, G2364 be of good comfort; G2293 thy G4675 faith G4102 hath made G4982 thee G4571 whole. G4982 And G2532 the woman G1135 was made whole G4982 from G575 that G1565 hour. G5610 And G2532 when Jesus G2424 came G2064 into G1519 the ruler's G758 house, G3614 and G2532 saw G1492 the minstrels G834 and G2532 the people G3793 making a noise, G2350 He said G3004 unto them, G846 Give place: G402 for G1063 the maid G2877 is G599 not G3756 dead, G599 but G235 sleepeth. G2518 And G2532 they laughed G2606 him G846 to scorn. G2606 But G1161 when G3753 the people G3793 were put forth, G1544 he went in, G1525 and took G2902 her G846 by the hand, G5495 and G2532 the maid G2877 arose. G1453 And G2532 the fame G5345 hereof G3778 went abroad G1831 into G1519 all G3650 that G1565 land. G1093
And, G2532 behold, G2400 there came G2064 a man G435 named G3739 G3686 Jairus, G2383 and G2532 he G846 was G5225 a ruler G758 of the synagogue: G4864 and G2532 he fell down G4098 at G3844 Jesus' G2424 feet, G4228 and besought G3870 him G846 that he would come G1525 into G1519 his G846 house: G3624 For G3754 he G846 had G2258 one only G3439 daughter, G2364 about G5613 twelve G1427 years of age, G2094 and G2532 she G3778 G846 lay a dying. G599 But G1161 as G1722 he G846 went G5217 the people G3793 thronged G4846 him. G846 And G2532 a woman G1135 having G5607 G1722 an issue G4511 of blood G129 twelve G1427 years, G575 G2094 which G3748 had spent G4321 all G3650 her living G979 upon G1519 physicians, G2395 neither G3756 could G2480 be healed G2323 of G5259 any, G3762 Came G4334 behind G3693 him, and touched G680 the border G2899 of his G846 garment: G2440 and G2532 immediately G3916 her G846 issue G4511 of blood G129 stanched. G2476 And G2532 Jesus G2424 said, G2036 Who G5101 touched G680 me? G3450 When G1161 all G3956 denied, G720 Peter G4074 and G2532 they that were with G3326 him G846 said, G2036 Master, G1988 the multitude G3793 throng G4912 thee G4571 and G2532 press G598 thee, and G2532 sayest G3004 thou, Who G5101 touched G680 me? G3450 And G1161 Jesus G2424 said, G2036 Somebody G5100 hath touched G680 me: G3450 for G1063 I G1473 perceive G1097 that virtue G1411 is gone G1831 out of G575 me. G1700 And G1161 when the woman G1135 saw G1492 that G3754 she was G2990 not G3756 hid, G2990 she came G2064 trembling, G5141 and G2532 falling down before G4363 him, G846 she declared G518 unto him G846 before G1799 all G3956 the people G2992 for G1223 what G3739 cause G156 she had touched G680 him, G846 and G2532 how G5613 she was healed G2390 immediately. G3916 And G1161 he said G2036 unto her, G846 Daughter, G2364 be of good comfort: G2293 thy G4675 faith G4102 hath made G4982 thee G4571 whole; G4982 go G4198 in G1519 peace. G1515 While he G846 yet G2089 spake, G2980 there cometh G2064 one G5100 from G3844 the ruler of the synagogue's G752 house, saying G3004 to him, G846 G3754 Thy G4675 daughter G2364 is dead; G2348 trouble G4660 not G3361 the Master. G1320 But G1161 when Jesus G2424 heard G191 it, he answered G611 him, G846 saying, G3004 Fear G5399 not: G3361 believe G4100 only, G3440 and G2532 she shall be made whole. G4982 And G1161 when he came G1525 into G1519 the house, G3614 he suffered G863 no G3756 man G3762 to go in, G1525 save G1508 Peter, G4074 and G2532 James, G2385 and G2532 John, G2491 and G2532 the father G3962 and G2532 the mother G3384 of the maiden. G3816 And G1161 all G3956 wept, G2799 and G2532 bewailed G2875 her: G846 but G1161 he said, G2036 Weep G2799 not; G3361 she is G599 not G3756 dead, G599 but G235 sleepeth. G2518 And G2532 they laughed G2606 him G846 to scorn, G2606 knowing G1492 that G3754 she was dead. G599 And G1161 he G846 put G1544 them all G3956 out, G1854 and G2532 took G2902 her G846 by the hand, G5495 and called, G5455 saying, G3004 Maid, G3816 arise. G1453 And G2532 her G846 spirit G4151 came again, G1994 and G2532 she arose G450 straightway: G3916 and G2532 he commanded G1299 to give G1325 her G846 meat. G5315 And G2532 her G846 parents G1118 were astonished: G1839 but G1161 he charged G3853 them G846 that they should tell G2036 no man G3367 what was done. G1096
And G1161 as G5613 Peter G4074 was G1096 coming in, G1525 Cornelius G2883 met G4876 him, G846 and fell down G4098 at G1909 his feet, G4228 and worshipped G4352 him. But G1161 Peter G4074 took G1453 him G846 up, G1453 saying, G3004 Stand up; G450 I G2504 myself G846 also G2504 am G1510 a man. G444

Commentary on Mark 5 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 5
In this chapter, we have,
These three miracles we had the story of before (Mt. 8:28, etc. and Mt. 9:18, etc.) but more fully related here.
Mar 5:1-20
We have here an instance of Christ's dispossessing the strong man armed, and disposing of him as he pleased, to make it appear that he was stronger than he. This he did when he was come to the other side, whither he went through a storm; his business there was to rescue this poor creature out of the hands of Satan, and when he had done that, he returned. Thus he came from heaven to earth, and returned, in a storm, to redeem a remnant of mankind out of the hands of the devil, though but a little remnant, and did not think his pains ill bestowed.
In Matthew, they were said to be two possessed with devils; here it is said to be a man possessed with an unclean spirit. If there were two, there was one, and Mark doth not say that there was but one; so that this difference cannot give us any just offence; it is probable that one of them was much more remarkable than the other, and said what was said. Now observe here,
Mar 5:21-34
The Gadarenes having desired Christ to leave their country, he did not stay to trouble them long, but presently went by water, as he came, back to the other side (v. 21), and there much people gathered to him. Note, If there be some that reject Christ, yet there are others that receive him, and bid him welcome. A despised gospel will cross the water, and go where it will have better entertainment. Now among the many that applied themselves to him,
Mar 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.
