And he said unto her,
Daughter, your faith has made you whole; go in peace, and be whole of your disease.
All Commentaries on Mark 5:34 Go To Mark 5
Jerome
AD 420
Mystically, however, Jairuscomes after the healing of the woman, because when the fulness of the Gentiles has come in, then shall Israel be saved. Jairus means either illuminating, or illuminated, that is, the Jewish people, having cast off the shadow of the letter, enlightened by the Spirit, and enlightening others, falling at the feet of the Word, that is, humbling itself before the Incarnation of Christ, prays for her daughter, for when a man lives himself, he makes others live also. Thus Abraham, and Moses, and Samuel, intercede for the people who are dead, and Jesus comes upon their prayers.
