Marcos 5:37 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:37

And he suffered no man to follow him
To the house of the ruler, but dismissed the multitude, being not desirous of the honour and applause of men: probably what he said to the ruler, was privately, and with a low voice, so that the multitude did not hear him; and understanding by the messengers that the child was dead, were the more easily prevailed upon to depart, since they might conclude there was nothing now to be done;

save Peter, and James, and John, the brother of James:
three favourite disciples, who were a sufficient number of witnesses; and who were taken alone along with Christ on some other occasions, as at his transfiguration, and when in the garden.

Marcos 5:37 In-Context

35 Todavía estaba hablando Jesús, cuando llegaron unos hombres de la casa de Jairo, jefe de la sinagoga, para decirle:—Tu hija ha muerto. ¿Para qué sigues molestando al Maestro?

36 Sin hacer caso de la noticia, Jesús le dijo al jefe de la sinagoga:—No tengas miedo; cree nada más.

37 No dejó que nadie lo acompañara, excepto Pedro, Jacobo y Juan, el hermano de Jacobo.

38 Cuando llegaron a la casa del jefe de la sinagoga, Jesús notó el alboroto, y que la gente lloraba y daba grandes alaridos.

39 Entró y les dijo:—¿Por qué tanto alboroto y llanto? La niña no está muerta sino dormida.
