But Jesus overheard them In this context, Jesus is responding to a report that Jairus's daughter has died.

Teaching Points Faith Over FearJesus' words to Jairus, "Do not be afraid; just believe," highlight the importance of faith over fear. In moments of crisis, believers are called to trust in God's power and promises. The Power of Jesus This passage demonstrates Jesus' authority over life and death, encouraging believers to rely on His power in seemingly impossible situations. The Role of Community The presence of the crowd reminds us of the influence of societal pressures. Believers are encouraged to focus on Jesus' words rather than the doubts of others. Hope in Desperation Jairus' approach to Jesus in desperation teaches that in our most hopeless moments, turning to Christ can bring about miraculous change. The Assurance of Healing Jesus' assurance of healing to Jairus' daughter serves as a reminder of the spiritual and physical restoration available through faith in Christ.(50) Believe only.--There is a slight difference in the shade of meaning of the Greek tense as compared with the like command in St. Mark's report, the latter giving "Believe" as implying a permanent state--Be believing--St. Luke's report laying stress on the immediate act of faith.Verse 50. - But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. No shadow of hesitation crossed the Redeemer's mind; with unruffled calmness he whispered his words of cheer to the grief-stricken father, and bade him fear nothing, for that all would yet be well with the child. Then follows the well-known, often-read story told in such few words, yet are they so vivid, so dramatic, that we seem to be looking on the scene. The grief-stricken household, the hired mourners, the still death-room, the white motionless form of the dead girl - the ruler's only child - lying on her little bed, the group of the six with tear-dimmed eyes standing round; the loving Master bending over the little dead, his smile as for a moment he took back the all-power he had laid aside a little season for our sakes; the far-off look in his eyes as for a moment his vision ranged over his old home of peace and grandeur; and then the two words spoken in the familiar Aramaic (Hebrew), which Mark, or rather Mark's master, Peter, remembered so well, "Talitha, kumi!" and the dead child rose up again, the spirit had returned to its frail tenement.
