Contextual Overview

⁴⁰When Jesus returned, a big crowd was waiting on him. ⁴¹A local church leader named Jairus came up and bowed down in front of Jesus. He begged Jesus to come to his home. ⁴²His twelve-year-old daughter was dying. Jesus left with him at once and was followed by a lot of folks. ⁴³In the crowd following Jesus was a woman who'd been bleeding for nearly twelve years and no one had been able to help her. ⁴⁴She came up behind Jesus and touched his vest. Immediately her bleeding stopped. ⁴⁵Jesus turned and asked, "Who touched me?"Everyone turned around all innocent like and then Pete said, "Boss, there's a bunch of people. Maybe someone accidentally bumped ya." ⁴⁶But Jesus replied, "I felt the healing power leave me. Someone touched me on purpose." ⁴⁷The woman was real scared now and she trembled as she took a knee before Jesus. She then explained why she had touched his vest and how she had immediately been cured. ⁴⁸Jesus smiled kindly at her and said, "Daughter, your faith in me has healed you. Go in peace!" ⁴⁹While Jesus was still talking to her, someone came running up from the church leader's home and told Jairus, "Your daughter is dead. No need to bring Jesus anymore."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But when Jesus heard it,.... The message that was brought to the ruler, and the hint that was given, that it was needless to give him any further trouble:

he answered him; not the messenger, but the father of the child, as the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read:

saying, fear not: do not be dismayed at this message, nor despair of help, notwithstanding such is the case:

believe only, and she shall be made whole; exercise faith in me, that I am able to raise her from the dead, and I will do it; and she shall be restored to life, and to perfect health and strength again.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
