Mark 5:24 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:24

And Jesus went with him
Immediately without objecting to the weakness of his faith:

and much people followed him;
to see the miracle performed, which they were exceedingly fond of:

and thronged him;
so that it was with some difficulty and trouble that he passed along the streets to: the ruler's house.

Mark 5:24 In-Context

22 There came to him a synagogue official, Ya'ir by name, who fell at his feet

23 and pleaded desperately with him, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please! Come and lay your hands on her, so that she will get well and live!"

24 He went with him; and a large crowd followed, pressing all around him.

25 Among them was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years

26 and had suffered a great deal under many physicians. She had spent her life savings; yet instead of improving, she had grown worse.
