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

Mark 5:24 In-Context

22 Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Ja'irus by name; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
23 and besought him, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live."

26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse.
