A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

Notes

Mark 5:21–22

When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side … A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived: Jairus organized the worship services at the synagogue and represented the Jewish community to the outside world (compare Acts 13:15).

Mark 5:21–43

Two healing miracles are connected by the need for faith (5:34, 36). The story of Jairus’s daughter begins, then the account of the woman with constant bleeding comes in the middle (5:25–34), and then the story of Jairus’s daughter continues. This pattern places the two stories together and connects them (see Mark Book Introduction, “Literary Features”). During the delay caused by the woman’s healing, Jairus’s daughter died (5:35–43).

Mark 4:35–5:43

The three miracle stories in this section are connected by:

a shared location (the Sea of Galilee),
the presence of the disciples,
the use of a boat, and
a common theme, "Who is this" (4:41).
