Mark 5:22

the rulers of the synagogue Each synagogue had a kind of Chapter or College of Elders, presided over by a ruler, who superintended the services, and possessed the power of excommunication. From this place, e.g., compared with Acts 13:15, it would appear that some synagogues had several rulers.

Jairus by name It is but rarely we know the namesof those who were the objects of the Saviour's mercy. He afterwards probably was one of those who came to the Lord pleading for the centurion at Capernaum (Luke 7:3). The aid he then asked for another, he now craves for himself, but under the pressure of a still greater calamity.
