Mark 5:21

ὄχλος πολὺς : the inescapable crowd, in no hurry to disperse, gathers again about Jesus, on His return to the western shore. ἐπʼ αὐτόν : not merely to, but after Him, the great centre of attraction (cf. πρὸς α., Mark 2:13; Mark 4:1). παρὰ τ. θ., by the sea (here and there); how soon after the arrival the incident happened not indicated (cf. Matthew 9:18 for sequence and situation), nor is the motive of the narrative. Weiss suggests that the Jairus story is given as another instance of unreceptivity, Mark 5:40 (Meyer).
