Mark 5
1. Jesus delivering the possessed of the legion of demons,

22. He is entreated by Jairus to go and heal his daughter.
25. He heals the woman subject to bleeding,
35. and raises Jairus' daughter from death.














Immediately
The use of the word "immediately" in Mark 5:42 underscores the suddenness and miraculous nature of the event. In the Greek, the word is "εὐθύς" (euthys), which is often used in the Gospel of Mark to convey a sense of urgency and divine action. This immediacy highlights the power and authority of Jesus, who can bring about instantaneous change and healing. It serves as a reminder of the divine nature of Christ and His ability to transcend natural laws, offering hope and assurance to believers that God can act swiftly in their lives.

the girl
The phrase "the girl" refers to the daughter of Jairus, a synagogue leader. In the cultural and historical context of the time, children, especially girls, were often seen as less significant in society. However, Jesus' attention to her needs and His willingness to perform a miracle for her emphasizes the value He places on every individual, regardless of age or gender. This act of compassion reflects the inclusive nature of the Gospel, where all are precious in the sight of God.

got up
The phrase "got up" is translated from the Greek word "ἀνέστη" (anestē), which means to rise or stand up. This word is often associated with resurrection and new life in the New Testament. The girl's rising is a physical manifestation of Jesus' power over death, prefiguring His own resurrection. It symbolizes the new life that Christ offers to all who believe in Him, a life that conquers death and brings eternal hope.

and began to walk around
The action of the girl walking around signifies her complete restoration to health. In the Jewish culture, walking was a sign of life and vitality. This detail assures the witnesses of the miracle's authenticity and completeness. It also serves as a metaphor for the Christian walk of faith, where believers are called to live out their new life in Christ actively and visibly, demonstrating the transformative power of Jesus in their daily lives.

She was twelve years old
The mention of her age, "twelve years old," is significant in the Jewish tradition, as it marks the transition from childhood to adulthood. This detail not only provides historical context but also highlights the importance of this miracle at a pivotal moment in her life. Spiritually, it can be seen as a reminder that God is present and active in all stages of life, guiding and nurturing His children as they grow in faith and maturity.

And at this they were completely astonished
The reaction of those present, being "completely astonished," reflects the awe and wonder that accompany the works of God. The Greek word "ἐξέστησαν" (exestēsan) conveys a sense of being overwhelmed or amazed beyond measure. This response is a natural human reaction to witnessing the divine in action. It serves as an invitation for believers to maintain a sense of wonder and reverence for God's miraculous works in their own lives, recognizing His power and grace with gratitude and praise.

(42) She was of the age of twelve years.--St. Mark gives the age at the end of the narrative, St. Luke at the beginning, St. Matthew not at all; a proof of a certain measure of independence in dealing with the materials upon which the three narratives were severally founded.

Verses 42, 43. - Here, as in other miracles, the restoration was immediate and complete: straightway the damsel rose up, and walked. Well might the father and the mother of the maiden and the three chosen apostles be amazed with a great amazement (ἐξέστησαν ἐκστάσει μεγάλῃ). And then, for the purpose of strengthening that life which he rescued from the jaws of the grave, our Lord commanded that something should be given her to eat. It has often been observed that in the examples of his resurrection power given by Christ there is a gradation:

1. The daughter of Jairus just dead.

2. The widow's son from his bier.

3. Lazarus from his grave. . . .
