Context of Mark 5:22

20So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them. 21Jesus got into the boat again and went back to the other side of the lake, where a large crowd gathered around him on the shore. Then a leader of the local synagogue, whose name was Jairus, arrived. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet, 23pleading fervently with him. “My little daughter is dying,” he said. “Please come and lay your hands on her; heal her so she can live.” 24Jesus went with him, and all the people followed, crowding around him.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 21-34Verses 21-34 A despised gospel will go where it will be better received.
