Context of Mark 5:21

19Yeshua did not let him, but He told him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much Adonai has done for you, how He showed you mercy.” 20So he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Yeshua had done for him. And all were amazed. When Yeshua had crossed over in the boat again to the other side, a big crowd gathered around Him; and He was by the sea. 22Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, comes. Seeing Him, he falls at His feet. 23He begs Him a great deal, saying, “My little daughter is near death! Come and lay hands on her so that she may be healed and live!”

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. We should do good, not only when in the house, but when we walk by the way, De 6:7. 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
