Marcos 5:23 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:23

And besought him greatly

[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.
