Contextual Overview

⁴⁰ Now when Jesus was returning, the people gave Him a warm welcome; for they had all been looking out for Him. ⁴¹ Just then there came a man named Jair, a Warden of the Synagogue, who threw himself at the feet of Jesus, and entreated Him to come to his house; ⁴² for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as He went, the dense throng crowded on Him. ⁴³ And a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage--and had spent on doctors all she had, but none of them had been able to cure her-- ⁴⁴ came close behind Him and touched the tassel of His robe; and instantly her flow of blood stopped. ⁴⁵ "Who is it touched me?" Jesus asked. And when all denied having done so, Peter and the rest said, "Rabbi, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing on you." ⁴⁶ "Some one has touched me," Jesus replied, "for I feel that power has gone out from me." ⁴⁷ Then the woman, perceiving that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and throwing herself down at His feet she stated before all the people the reason why she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured. ⁴⁸ "Daughter," said He, "your faith has cured you; go, and be at peace." ⁴⁹ While He was still speaking, some one came to the Warden of the Synagogue from his house and said, "Your daughter is dead; trouble the Rabbi no further."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For he had one only daughter,.... And so exceedingly dear to him:

about twelve years of age;

:-

And she lay a dying, or "was near death", as the Syriac and Persic versions; or "was just ready to die", as the Ethiopic version. The Vulgate Latin and Arabic versions render it, "she was dead", or "now dead", and which agrees with Matthew 9:18.

Matthew 9:18- :.

but as he went; along the streets of Capernaum, from Matthew's house; where he had been entertained with his disciples, and others, and where he had a conversation with some of the Pharisees and John's disciples, to the ruler's house:

the people thronged him; such a vast multitude followed him to see the cure, that he was even crowded, and so pressed on all sides, that it was difficult to walk along.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 9:18-26, and Mark 5:21-43.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 42. The people thronged him. — συνεπνιγον αυτον - almost suffocated him-so great was the throng about him.
