Mark 5:23 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:23

And besought him greatly
Used much importunity with him, and was very urgent in his requests:

saying, my little daughter lieth at the point of death,
or "is in the last extremity"; just breathing out her last; for she was not actually dead when he left her, though she was before he returned, and was at this time, as he might expect, expiring, or really gone; (See Gill on Matthew 9:18).

[I pray thee] come and lay thine hands on her, that she may be
healed, and she shall live;
expressing faith in the power of Christ to restore his daughter, though in the utmost extremity; yet seemed to think his presence, and the imposition of his hands were necessary to it.

Mark 5:23 In-Context

21 When Jesus went in the boat back to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him there.

22 A leader of the synagogue, named Jairus, came there, saw Jesus, and fell at his feet.

23 He begged Jesus, saying again and again, "My daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so she will be healed and will live."

24 So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed Jesus and pushed very close around him.

25 Among them was a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years.
