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
23 And G2532 besought G3870 him G846 greatly, G4183 saying, G3004 G3754 My G3450 little daughter G2365 lieth G2079 at the point of death: G2192 I pray thee, come G2064 and G2443 lay G2007 thy hands G5495 on her, G846 that G3704 she may be healed; G4982 and G2532 she shall live. G2198
24 And G2532 Jesus went G565 with G3326 him; G846 and G2532 much G4183 people G3793 followed G190 him, G846 and G2532 thronged G4918 him. G846
25 And G2532 a certain G5100 woman, G1135 which had an G1722 issue G4511 of blood G129 G5607 twelve G1427 years, G2094
26 And G2532 had suffered G3958 many things G4183 of G5259 many G4183 physicians, G2395 and G2532 had spent G1159 all G3956 that she G1438 had, G3844 and G2532 was G5623 nothing G3367 bettered, G5623 but G235 rather G3123 grew G2064 worse, G1519 G5501
27 When she had heard G191 of G4012 Jesus, G2424 came G2064 in G1722 the press G3793 behind, G3693 and touched G680 his G846 garment. G2440
28 For G1063 she said, G3004 G3754 If G2579 I may touch G680 but G2579 his G846 clothes, G2440 I shall be whole. G4982
29 And G2532 straightway G2112 the fountain G4077 of her G846 blood G129 was dried up; G3583 and G2532 she felt G1097 in her body G4983 that G3754 she was healed G2390 of G575 that plague. G3148
30 And G2532 Jesus, G2424 immediately G2112 knowing G1921 in G1722 himself G1438 that virtue G1411 had gone G1831 out of G1537 him, G846 turned him about G1994 in G1722 the press, G3793 and said, G3004 Who G5101 touched G680 my G3450 clothes? G2440
31 And G2532 his G846 disciples G3101 said G3004 unto him, G846 Thou seest G991 the multitude G3793 thronging G4918 thee, G4571 and G2532 sayest thou, G3004 Who G5101 touched G680 me? G3450
32 And G2532 he looked round about G4017 to see G1492 her that had done G4160 this thing. G5124
33 But G1161 the woman G1135 fearing G5399 and G2532 trembling, G5141 knowing G1492 what G3739 was done G1096 in G1909 her, G846 came G2064 and G2532 fell down before G4363 him, G846 and G2532 told G2036 him G846 all G3956 the truth. G225
34 And G1161 he said G2036 unto her, G846 Daughter, G2364 thy G4675 faith G4102 hath made G4982 thee G4571 whole; G4982 go G5217 in G1519 peace, G1515 and G2532 be G2468 whole G5199 of G575 thy G4675 plague. G3148
35 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
36 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
37 And G2532 he suffered G863 G3756 no man G3762 to follow G4870 him, G846 save G1508 Peter, G4074 and G2532 James, G2385 and G2532 John G2491 the brother G80 of James. G2385
38 And G2532 he cometh G2064 to G1519 the house G3624 of the ruler of the synagogue, G752 and G2532 seeth G2334 the tumult, G2351 and them that wept G2799 and G2532 wailed G214 greatly. G4183
39 And G2532 when he was come in, G1525 he saith G3004 unto them, G846 Why G5101 make ye this ado, G2350 and G2532 weep? G2799 the damsel G3813 is G599 not G3756 dead, G599 but G235 sleepeth. G2518
40 And G2532 they laughed G2606 him G846 to scorn. G2606 But G1161 when he had put G1544 them all G537 out, G1544 he taketh G3880 the father G3962 and G2532 the mother G3384 of the damsel, G3813 and G2532 them that were with G3326 him, G846 and G2532 entereth in G1531 where G3699 the damsel G3813 was G2258 lying. G345
41 And G2532 he took G2902 the damsel G3813 by the hand, G5495 and said G3004 unto her, G846 Talitha G5008 cumi; G2891 which G3739 is, G2076 being interpreted, G3177 Damsel, G2877 I say G3004 unto thee, G4671 arise. G1453
42 And G2532 straightway G2112 the damsel G2877 arose, G450 and G2532 walked; G4043 for G1063 she was G2258 of the age of twelve G1427 years. G2094 And G2532 they were astonished G1839 with a great G3173 astonishment. G1611
43 And G2532 he charged G1291 them G846 straitly G4183 that G2443 no man G3367 should know G1097 it; G5124 and G2532 commanded G2036 that something should be given G1325 her G846 to eat. G5315

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.
