Healing a Woman and Resurrecting a Child

74 – Healing a Woman and Resurrecting a Child; Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 5:21-43; Luke 8:40-56 

Matthew 9:18 While He was saying these things to them, behold, [a]a synagogue [b]official came and [c]bowed down before Him, and said, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will become alive again.” 19 Jesus got up from the table and began to accompany him, along with His disciples. 20 And behold, a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind Him, and touched the [d]border of His [e]cloak; 21 for she was [f]saying [g]to herself, “If I only touch His cloak, I will [h]get well.” 22 But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, “Daughter, take courage; your faith has [i]made you well.” And [j]at once the woman was [k]made well. 23 When Jesus came into the [l]official’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder, 24 He said, “Leave; for the girl has not died, but is asleep.” And they began laughing at Him. 25 But when the crowd had been sent out, He entered and took her by the hand, and the girl [m]got up. 26 And this news spread throughout that land. 

Mark 5:21 When Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and He [a]stayed by the seashore. 22 And one of the synagogue [b]officials, named Jairus, *came, and upon seeing Him, *fell at His feet 23 and *pleaded with Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and lay Your hands on her, so that she will [c]get well and live.” 24 And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him. 25 A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, 26 and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but instead had become worse— 27 after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His [d]cloak. 28 For she had been saying to herself, “If I just touch His garments, I will [e]get well.” 29 And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that power from Him had gone out, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?” 31 And His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’” 32 And He looked around to see the woman who had done this. 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has [f]made you well; go in peace and be cured of your disease.” 35 While He was still speaking, people *came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why bother the Teacher further?” 36 But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, *said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid, only [g]believe.” 37 And He allowed no one to accompany Him except Peter, [h]James, and John the brother of [i]James. 38 They *came to the house of the synagogue official, and He *saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing. 39 And after entering, He *said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child has not died, but is asleep.” 40 And they began laughing at Him. But putting them all outside, He *took along the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and *entered the room where the child was in bed. 41 And taking the child by the hand, He *said to her, “Talitha, kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). 42 And immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astonished. 43 And He gave them strict orders that no one was to know about this, and He told them to have something given her to eat. 

Luke 8:40 And as Jesus was returning, the [a]people welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him. 41 And a man named Jairus came, and he was an [b]official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus’ feet, and began urging Him to come to his house; 42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him. 43 And a woman who had suffered a chronic flow of blood for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, 44 came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His [c]cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. 45 And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched Me?” And while they were all denying it, Peter said, “Master, the [d]people are crowding and pressing in on You.” 46 But Jesus said, “Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that power had left Me.” 47 Now when the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before Him, and admitted in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed. 48 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has [e]made you well; go in peace.” 49 While He was still speaking, someone *came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacher anymore.” 50 But when Jesus heard this, He responded to him, “Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be [f]made well.” 51 When He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him except Peter, John, and James, and the girl’s father and mother. 52 Now they were all weeping and mourning for her; but He said, “Stop weeping, for she has not died, but is asleep.” 53 And they began laughing at Him, knowing that she had died. 54 He, however, took her by the hand and spoke [g]forcefully, saying, “Child, arise!” 55 And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately; and He ordered that something be given her to eat. 56 Her parents were amazed; but He instructed them to tell no one what had happened.

Commentary 

This is another group of long passages, and even though there is more than one event, I found it difficult to break up because they happen simultaneously.  

It opens with the first part of Jairus’s story. However, after Jairus first approached Jesus, their progress to the house was slow because the crowd of people pressed on them, to the extent that the original Greek word used in Mark to describe it was like the burden of a pack animal, bearing down on it (Nelson KJV Bible Commentary pg. 1245).  

At this point, the story shifts focus to another woman who is looking for healing. The woman with a bleeding disorder is generally believed to have had some sort of ongoing menstrual flow, which would have made her ceremonially unclean (see the scripture references from Leviticus) and would also cause anyone who touched her to be unclean for 24 hours. This inhibited her from participating in community at all, for twelve years, and it is believed that she was single and unable to support herself further after having exhausted all her resources on doctors. This was therefore not only an issue of discomfort, inconvenience, and loneliness, but also of livelihood – with no means left, she would not be able to eat or take shelter. Although it was inappropriate for her to have been moving through a crowd, due to her uncleanliness, she understood Jesus was her only hope (The Word in Life Study Bible, pg. 1646). This may be why she only dared to touch the very tip of the tassel on His coat, to prevent defiling Him, but He technically would still have been considered unclean until the following day. Obviously, since He continues about the business of travelling to Jairus’s house, neither He nor His companions considered Him untouchable, and they still followed Him to help the girl. Perhaps this is because the woman was healed, but that’s conjecture on my part. 

When the woman touched Him, Jesus knew power had left Him and almost certainly knew who the woman was without her confession, so why did He insist upon delaying the convoy to save Jairus’s daughter and engaging the woman, instead? Similar to the way God asked the question of Adam and Eve, “Did you eat the fruit I forbade you to eat,” Jesus asks a question He likely knows the answer to in order to demonstrate the importance of relationship and spiritual growth, above physical healing. Although she was physically made well, the woman still needed to receive the peace He offered her when He affirmed her (Nelson KJV Bible Commentary pg. 1245). Also, the exchange benefits Jairus because he can see the woman was made well through faith. Subsequently, when his servants come to tell him his daughter has died, Jesus is able to remind him that continued faith is the key to his daughter’s survival. Surely, after having witnessed the woman’s healing through faith, Jairus is more easily persuaded that Jesus has the power to heal, or even resurrect, his daughter. 

There is an interesting contrast in the way both men refer to a daughter. It was customary at the time for a rabbi to call a young girl daughter (Nelson KJV Bible Commentary pg. 1193), but Jesus addresses the old woman this way. Mark’s account of Jairus’s request is particularly moving because the original Greek word for “little daughter” was a term of endearment and conveys Jairus’s despair over her immanent death (Nelson KJV Bible Commentary pg. 1245). The contrast of the two stories of healing is in the position of those requesting Jesus’s help. Jairus had the recognition and authority to be able to access Jesus first, but Jesus tarried in order to serve a nameless woman who also needed help. “A little girl who had been living for twelve years and an old lady who had been dying for twelve years” (The Word in Life Study Bible, pg. 1724), a girl who Jairus called daughter and a woman who Jesus called daughter. That Christ availed Himself to them both is a perfect picture of the gospel message. 

Jairus’s position, while an advantage in gaining access to Jesus, may also have been reason for Jairus to closely consider whether to approach Jesus at all. It is another parallel in the story that both he and the bleeding woman broke with tradition in order to seek help from Jesus. He could potentially have lost his position as a ruler of the synagogue, and his actions would not have escaped notice because he was very well-known among the community. The desperation over his daughter’s life, however, led him to seek Jesus’s help, despite the potential consequences. When Jesus complied, and he took the dead girl’s hand, he again took the risk of making Himself ceremonially unclean by touching a dead person, to say nothing of how inappropriate it was for a man (a rabbi, no less) to touch a woman, even a girl of twelve. “Jairus risked his secure, prestigious job because he loved his daughter more than his career. Jesus risked His reputation as a teacher in order to bring the daughter back to life” (The Word in Life Study Bible, pg. 1723). 

When they reached the house, they encountered mourners who were loudly grieving. At the time, it was common for families to hire professional mourners to publicly grieve the deceased. The mourners were usually women, who would write songs in praise of the departed and sing or chant them in the streets, accompanied by flutes or other instruments. They wept and wailed, wore sackcloth, and threw dust or ashes in the air and on their heads, in an attempt to draw onlookers into the sadness of the family (The Word in Life Study Bible, pg. 1645). It is helpful to understand they are likely not family members because their manic transition from keening to laughing at Jesus is hard to understand, unless you realize they were there to create a dramatic scene. I found the scripture reference for Mark 5:40, very interesting. The mourners were laughing at Jesus, and the scripture reference is to Matthew 15:11, “A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.” Make of that what you will. 

There is another scripture reference when Jesus raises the girl from the dead, and it is found in 2 Kings 4:33. In the passage from 2 Kings, Elisha raised a child from the dead, and there were many similarities between these two stories. Elisha’s Shunammite woman had an only son (Jairus had an only daughter) and had favor with Elisha because of her service to him (Jairus served in the temple). She demonstrated enormous faith by going to Elisha before she even told her husband the child had died (Jairus showed faith by risking his career and all he had in order to plead with Jesus), and she also stayed with Elisha while his servant went ahead to the house (Jairus stayed with Jesus while the servants reported back from the house). Elisha went into the child’s room and didn’t allow anyone but his servant Gehazi to enter with him (Jesus entered the home with only 3 disciples and the child’s parents). The scripture references are so helpful because they continually highlight the way God’s plan is carried out in similar events across history. 

The accounts in Mark and Luke close with Jesus’s instructions not to tell anyone what happened. In contrast to the last passage, where Jesus encouraged the ex-demoniac to tell everyone about what had happened to him, Jesus tells Jairus and his family not to talk about their daughter’s resurrection. “Since opposition to Him had already grown from the religious leaders, raising a dead person might have terminated His ministry too early. Furthermore, He limited some of His greatest miracles to the witness of only a chosen few (Mk 9:2)” (Nelson KJV Bible Commentary pg. 1245). In this case, He also “preserved the sanctity of the home by not parading twelve men into this private place” (Nelson KJV Bible Commentary pg. 1276).
