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

For he had one only daughter,.... And so exceedingly dear to him:

about twelve years of age;

:-

And she lay a dying, or "was near death", as the Syriac and Persic versions; or "was just ready to die", as the Ethiopic version. The Vulgate Latin and Arabic versions render it, "she was dead", or "now dead", and which agrees with Matthew 9:18.

Matthew 9:18- :.

but as he went; along the streets of Capernaum, from Matthew's house; where he had been entertained with his disciples, and others, and where he had a conversation with some of the Pharisees and John's disciples, to the ruler's house:

the people thronged him; such a vast multitude followed him to see the cure, that he was even crowded, and so pressed on all sides, that it was difficult to walk along.

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 42. The people thronged him. — συνεπνιγον αυτον - almost suffocated him-so great was the throng about him.
