Context of Mark 5:31

29And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that affliction. 30And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my clothes? And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32And he looked around to see her that had done this thing. 33But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

Commentaries on Mark 5:31

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 31Thou seest the multitude thronging then, etc. - Many touch Jesus who are not healed by him: the reason is, they do it not by faith, through a sense of their wants, and a conviction of his ability and willingness to save them. Faith conveys the virtue of Christ into the soul, and spiritual health is the immediate consequence of this received virtue.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 22-43Verses 22-43 See the account of the raising of Jairus‘ daughter, and the healing of the woman with an issue of blood, fully explained in the notes at Matthew 9:18-26. Mark 5:23 Lieth at the point of death - Is dying; in the last agonies. Mark 5:26 Had suffered many things - Had resorted to many things painful, by the direction of the physicians, in order to be healed. Mark 5:27 Came in the press behind - In the crowd that pressed upon him. This was done…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 21-34Verses 21-34 A despised gospel will go where it will be better received. One of the rulers of a synagogue earnestly besought Christ for a little daughter, about twelve years old, who was dying. Another cure was wrought by the way.

It is common with people not to apply to Christ till they have tried in vain all other helpers, and find them, as certainly they will…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 24-34As Jesus heads to Jairus's home, followed by a large crowd, Mark introduces a woman in the crowd who suffers from constant bleeding. This condition not only harms her health but also makes her ceremonially unclean. This prevents her from participating in normal community life (see Leviticus 15:25–27). She is an example of the faith that Jairus should have.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3131. And his disciples said unto him--Luke says (Lu 8:45), "When all denied, Peter and they that were with Him said, Master." Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?--"Askest thou, Lord, who touched Thee? Rather ask who touched Thee not in such a throng." "And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched Me"--"a certain person has touched Me"--"for I perceive that virtue is gone out of Me" (Lu 8:46). Yes, the multitude "thronged and…Read the comment
