Contextual Overview

⁴⁰ Now, when Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him back, for they were all expecting him. ⁴¹ And lo! there came a man, whose name was Jairus, and, the same, was, a ruler of the synagogue, - and, falling down near the feet of Jesus, he began beseeching him to enter into his house; ⁴² because he had, an only-begotten daughter, about twelve years old, and, she, was dying. Now, as he withdrew, the multitudes, were hemming him in. ⁴³ And, a woman, with a flow of blood of twelve years standing, who indeed could, from no one, be cured, ⁴⁴ coming near behind, touched the fringe of his mantle; and, instantly, was stayed the flow of her blood. ⁴⁵ And Jesus said - Who, is it that touched me? And, when all were denying, Peter said - Master! the multitudes, are hemming thee in, and pressing along. ⁴⁶ But, Jesus, said - Some one touched me, for, I, took note of power, gone out from me. ⁴⁷ And, the woman seeing that she had not escaped notice, trembling, came, and, falling down before him, reported before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed instantly! ⁴⁸ And, he, said to her - Daughter! thy faith, hath saved thee: Go thy way into peace. ⁴⁹ While yet he is speaking, there cometh one from the synagogue ruler's, saying - Thy daughter, is dead: No further, be troubling the teacher.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they laughed him to scorn,.... The servants, neighbours, and relations, the pipers, and mourning women: these, from weeping for the dead, fell to laughing at Christ, having him and his words in the utmost derision:

knowing that she was dead: some of them having been employed in laying her out, and all of them having seen her, and were satisfied, and thoroughly assured, that she was actually dead, as ever any person was, as she doubtless was; but they were ignorant in what sense Christ meant she was not dead, but asleep; :-.
