THE MESSAGE
On his return, Jesus was welcomed by a crowd. They were all there expecting him. A man came up, Jairus by name. He was president of the meeting place. He fell at Jesus' feet and begged him to come to his home because his twelve-year-old daughter, his only child, was dying. Jesus went with him, making his way through the pushing, jostling crowd.

Contextual Overview

40When Jesus returned, a big crowd was waiting on him. 41A local church leader named Jairus came up and bowed down in front of Jesus. He begged Jesus to come to his home. 42His twelve-year-old daughter was dying. Jesus left with him at once and was followed by a lot of folks. 43In the crowd following Jesus was a woman who'd been bleeding for nearly twelve years and no one had been able to help her. 44She came up behind Jesus and touched his vest. Immediately her bleeding stopped. 45Jesus turned and asked, "Who touched me?"Everyone turned around all innocent like and then Pete said, "Boss, there's a bunch of people. Maybe someone accidentally bumped ya." 46But Jesus replied, "I felt the healing power leave me. Someone touched me on purpose." 47The woman was real scared now and she trembled as she took a knee before Jesus. She then explained why she had touched his vest and how she had immediately been cured. 48Jesus smiled kindly at her and said, "Daughter, your faith in me has healed you. Go in peace!" 49While Jesus was still talking to her, someone came running up from the church leader's home and told Jairus, "Your daughter is dead. No need to bring Jesus anymore."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, that when Jesus was returned,.... From the country of the Gadarenes, to the other side of the sea of Tiberias, to Galilee; and particularly to his own city, Capernaum; Matthew 9:1.

The people gladly received him; who were of a different cast from those he had just left; being sensible of the benefits they received from him, both by his ministry and miracles; and which was the reason of their receiving him with so much joy and gladness:

for they were all waiting for him; on the shore, looking out very eagerly for him, being earnestly desirous of his speedy return to them; having many that wanted his assistance, both for their souls and bodies, of which the following are instances.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 9:18-26, and Mark 5:21-43.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 40. Gladly received him — This is the proper import of the word απεδεξατο; therefore our translators needed not to have put gladly in italics, as though it were not expressed in the text. Raphelius gives several proofs of this in loc.
