‏ Mark 5:21-24

Summary for Mark 5:21-43: 5:21-43 ^a Two healing miracles are connected by the need for faith (5:34 ^b, 36 ^c). The story of Jairus’s daughter brackets the story of the healing of the woman who had constant bleeding (5:25-34 ^d; see Mark Book Introduction, “Literary Features”), during which Jairus’s sick daughter died (5:35-43 ^e).
Summary for Mark 5:21-22: 5:21-22 ^f As Jesus arrived in Galilee on the other (i.e., west) side of the lake, ... a leader of the local synagogue named Jairus approached him. Jairus organized the worship services at the synagogue (cp. Acts 13:15 ^g) and represented the Jewish community to the outside world.
5:23 ^h The father wanted Jesus to heal her physically (literally that she might be saved; see 3:4 ⁱ; 5:28 ^j, 34 ^k; 6:56 ^l; 10:52 ^m; 15:30-31 ⁿ).
Summary for Mark 5:24-34: 5:24-34 ^o As Jesus goes to Jairus’s home with a great crowd following, Mark introduces a woman in the crowd who suffered from constant bleeding. This condition not only brought poor health, but made her ceremonially unclean and thus unable to participate in the normal life of the community (see Lev 15:25-27 ^p). She was a model of the kind of faith that Jairus should have.
