Read Luke 8.40--56. In 8.40-56: Jesus heals the afflicted and raises the dead. These two stories have already been woven together in Mark (Mk 5.21-43). The delay in healing Jairus' daughter means she is already dead when he arrived. In verses 43-45: Her chronic bleeding exceeded normal monthly flow and rendered her continually unclean to touch anyone (Lev 15.19-30). In verse 46: The power to heal was the presence of the Spirit (4.14; 5.15). In verse 48: To call her daughter is to mark her restoration in the family of Israel (see 13.16) and connects with the child (8.49). In verse 55: To say her spirit returned is to emphasize that she had died (23.46). Comments or Questions..
