Commentary on Mark 5:35

Theological / Devotional

While he yet spake. Here Mark resumes the narrative of the raising of Jairus’ daughter, interrupted by the story of the invalid woman (vs. 25-34). For the setting of the narrative see on v. 21.

Thy daughter is dead. Had Jairus’ daughter already been dead, as might be inferred from Matt. 9:18), it would not have been necessary for messengers to bring him word of the fact (see on Matt. 9:18). Apparently Mark implies that the sad news was broken quietly to Jairus in the presence of the throng (see on Mark 5:24).
