So Jesus went with him
This phrase highlights the compassion and willingness of Jesus to respond to the needs of individuals. The Greek word for "went" is "ἀπῆλθεν" (apēlthen), which implies a deliberate action. Jesus' decision to accompany Jairus, a synagogue leader, demonstrates His readiness to engage with people from all walks of life, regardless of their social status. This action reflects the heart of Jesus' ministry, which is to seek and save the lost, showing that He is accessible and responsive to those who seek Him earnestly.

and a large crowd followed
The presence of a "large crowd" signifies the growing popularity and influence of Jesus' ministry. The Greek word for "crowd" is "ὄχλος" (ochlos), indicating a multitude or throng of people. This crowd represents the diverse group of individuals drawn to Jesus, each with their own needs and expectations. Historically, this reflects the societal context of first-century Judea, where people were eager for hope and deliverance amidst Roman occupation and religious oppression. The crowd's following of Jesus underscores the magnetic nature of His teachings and miracles, which offered a glimpse of the Kingdom of God.

and pressed around Him
The phrase "pressed around Him" conveys the intensity and eagerness of the crowd. The Greek word "συνέθλιβον" (synethlibon) suggests being compressed or crowded together. This imagery paints a vivid picture of the physical closeness and urgency with which people sought to be near Jesus. It reflects the desperation and hope of those seeking healing, guidance, and truth. In a broader spiritual sense, this pressing around Jesus symbolizes the human longing for divine connection and the transformative power of His presence. It challenges believers to consider how they pursue closeness with Christ in their own lives, encouraging a fervent and persistent faith.

Verse 24. - And he went (καὶ ἀπῆλθε μετ αὐτοῦ) - literally, and he went away with him - and a great multitude followed him, they thronged him (συνέθλιβον αὐτόν); literally, pressed close upon him, compressed him. This is mentioned purposely by St. Mark, on account of what follows. St. Matthew says (Matthew 9:19), "And Jesus arose, and so did his disciples." Observe here the promptitude of Christ to assist the afflicted. St. Chrysostom suggests that our Lord purposely interposed some delay, by healing, as he went, the woman with the issue of blood, in order that the actual death of the daughter of Jairus might take place; and that so there might be full demonstration of his resurrection power.
