Contextual Overview
40 Jesus upon his return was received by a great number of people, who expected him. 41 Some time after, a person nam'd Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, came to Jesus, and upon his knees desired him to come to his house: 42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, who lay a dying. as he was on the way, the crowd press'd after him, 43 and among the rest a woman, who had been troubled with an hemorrhage twelve years, having consum'd her whole fortune upon physicians, who could none of them cure her; she getting behind him, 44 touched the border of his garment: and immediately her indisposition was removed. 45 upon which Jesus said, who was it that touch'd me? they being all at a loss, what to answer, at length Peter, and the others with him, said, master, the crowd are squeezing and pressing about you, and yet you cry, "who touch'd me?" 46 but Jesus said, somebody has touched me: for I know what influence my power has had. 47 then the woman finding she could not conceal herself, came trembling, and kneeling down before him, confess'd before all the people, why she had touch'd him, and how she was instantly cured. 48 but he said to her, daughter, don't be under any concern: your faith has sav'd you, go in peace. 49 While he was speaking, somebody came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, who said to him, your daughter is dead; 'tis in vain to importune the master any farther.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ver. 52 And all wept and bewailed her,.... Not only her relations and friends, and the servants of the house, but the mourning women, that were hired on this occasion, and employed for this purpose:
but he said, weep not; neither in show, as the mourning women did, nor in reality, as the friends of the deceased:
she is not dead, but sleepeth;
