Mark 5:29

And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. AND STRAIGHTWAY THE FOUNTAIN OF HER BLOOD WAS DRIED UP. Not only was "her issue of blood stanched" (), but the cause of it was thoroughly removed, insomuch that by her bodily sensations she immediately knew herself perfectly cured. AND SHE FELT IN HER BODY THAT SHE WAS HEALED OF THAT PLAGUE....

21-34 A despised gospel will go where it will be better received. One of the rulers of a synagogue earnestly besought Christ for a little daughter, about twelve years old, who was dying. Another cure was wrought by the way. We should do good, not only when in the house, but when we walk by the way, Deuteronomy 6:7. It is common with people not to apply to Christ till they have tried in vain all other helpers, and find them, as certainly they will, physicians of no value. Some run to diversions and gay company; others plunge into business, or even into intemperance; others go about to establish their own righteousness, or torment themselves by vain superstitions. Many perish in these ways; but none will ever find rest to the soul by such devices; while those whom Christ heals of the disease of sin, find in themselves an entire change for the better. As secret acts of sin, so secret acts...

See the account of the raising of Jairus’ daughter, and the healing of the woman with an issue of blood, fully explained in the notes at Matthew 9:18. Mark 5:23 LIETH AT THE POINT OF DEATH - Is dying; in the last agonies. Mark 5:26 HAD SUFFERED MANY THINGS - Had resorted to many things painful, by the direction of the physicians, in order to be healed. Mark 5:27 CAME IN THE PRESS BEHIND - In the crowd that pressed upon him. This was done to avoid being noticed. It was an act of faith.

EXPOSITION MARK 5:1 AND THEY CAME TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SEA. The other side of the sea would be the south-east side of the sea. INTO THE COUNTRY OF THE GADARENES, or rather, _Gerasenes_,_ _which is now generally admitted to be the true reading, from Gerasa, Gersa, or Kersa. There was another Gerasa, situated at some distance from the sea, on the borders of Arabia Petraea. The ruins of the Gerasa, here referred to, have been recently discovered by Dr. Thomson, ('The Land and the Book'). Immediately over this spot is a lofty mountain, in which are ancient tombs; and from this mountain there is an almost perpendicular declivity, literally (κρημνός) corresponding accurately to what is required by the description in the narrative of the miracle. Dr. Farrar ('Life of Christ') says that in the days of Eusebius and Jer

AND STRAIGHTWAY THE FOUNTAIN OF HER BLOOD WAS DRIED UP,.... It was usual with the Jews to call the womb, in which the child is formed, מקור, "a fountain" s; and because, from hence, issued the blood in a menstruous and profluvious person, they called it, as here, מקור דמיה, "the fountain of her blood" t; and sometimes use the same phrase of the drying up of it, as in this place: they say u, when a woman is searched and found to be pure, she is forbidden her house, עד שיתנגב מעיינה, "until her fountain be dried up"; so that as no blood issued from it, there was none in it, and which was now this woman's case, as she found; AND SHE FELT IN HER BODY THAT SHE WAS HEALED OF THAT PLAGUE: she not only found by that quick alteration there was in her animal spirits, which were now free and vigorous; but she perceived, in that part of her body, from whence the issue sprung, that she was perfectly...

Mark 5:1. _And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones._ What a pitiful object this poor creature must have been, a terror to the whole region! So far as man was concerned, he was in an utterly hopeless condition; yet there was hope for him, for Jesus had crossed the sea apparently with the special purpose of healing him. Our Saviour had proved his power over the winds an...

CHAPTER 5 _ 1. The Servant's Power over Satan's work. (Mark 5:1. Matthew 8:28; Luke 8:26 .)_ 2. The Servant's Power over disease and death. (Mark 5:21 .Matthew 9:18; Luke 8:40 .) 1. THE SERVANT'S POWER OVER SATAN'S WORK. Mark 5:1 The Storm on the Lake was the work of Satan, but here the power of the enemy is more prominent. The description of the demoniac differs from Mat

MARK 4:35 TO MARK 5:43. FOUR WONDER-STORIES. The stilling of the tempest, the healing of the demoniac and of the woman, and the raising of Jairus-' daughter form one of the most graphic sections of Mk.'s narrative. These stories have clearly been often told, and the evangelist delights to tell them. They seem to rest on unmistakable history. Thus the reference to the other little boats (Mark 4:36) reproduces an insignificant detail that naturally remained in the memory of an eye-witness (_cf._ Wellhausen). Other details, such as asleep _on the cushion_ (Mark 4:38), or the command to give the little girl something to eat ...
