Notes

Mark 5:23

The father wanted Jesus to heal her physically (Greek so that she might be saved; see 3:4; 5:28, 34; 6:56; 10:52; 15:30–31).

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).
