Mark 5:35

‘While he yet spoke they come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why do you trouble the Master any further?” '

Jairus' feelings at the delay were probably indescribable. He knew how vital every second was. But now, impatiently restraining himself, what he feared would happen did happen. Messengers arrived to tell him that it was too late. His daughter was dead. She was beyond help. There was nothing that even the Master could do. He need not be troubled any further. His heart must have sunk within him. He was too late to save his beloved daughter. All he could do was just thank Jesus and return home. We do not know how far Jairus was from the house by this time. It may have been some considerable distance.

‘Trouble.' A very strong word meaning originally to ‘flay' or ‘mangle' but by this time toned down. Yet it evidences that they expected Him to have been very concerned.
