Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

38. And he cometh-rather, "they come."

to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly-"the minstrels and the people making a noise" (Mt 9:23)-lamenting for the dead. (See 2Ch 35:25; Jer 9:20; Am 5:16).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

5:35-43 We may suppose Jairus hesitating whether he should ask Christ to go on or not, when told that his daughter was dead. But have we not as much occasion for the grace of God, and the comfort of his Spirit, for the prayers of our ministers and Christian friends, when death is in the house, as when sickness is there? Faith is the only remedy against grief and fear at such a time. Believe the resurrection, then fear not. He raised the dead child to life by a word of power. Such is the gospel call to those who are by nature dead in trespasses and sins. It is by the word of Christ that spiritual life is given. All who saw it, and heard of it, admired the miracle, and Him that wrought it. Though we cannot now expect to have our dead children or relatives restored, we may hope to find comfort under our trials.


Mark 5:22 One of the synagogue officials named Jairus came up, and on seeing Him, fell at His feet (NASB ©1995)
