This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mar 5:21-43. The daughter of Jairus raised to life - The woman with an issue of blood healed. ( = Mat 9:18-26; Luk 8:41-56).
The occasion of this scene will appear presently.

much people gathered unto him - who “gladly received Him; for they were all waiting for Him” (Luk 8:40). The abundant teaching earlier that day (Mar 4:1, etc., and Mat 13:1-58) had only whetted the people’s appetite: and disappointed, as would seem, that He had left them in the evening to cross the lake, they remain hanging about the beach, having got a hint, probably through some of His disciples, that He would be back the same evening. Perhaps they witnessed at a distance the sudden calming of the tempest. The tide of our Lord’s popularity was now fast rising.
and he was nigh unto the sea.
