Marcos 5

Hendriksen writes that "Heartlessness characterized demons, swineherds, and people in general. Over against this attitude stands the helpfulness of Jesus." (Ibid)

Marcos 5

Hendriksen - A considerable measure of faith! The man believes in the effectiveness—even now with death so close—of the touch of Jesus’ hands.....Repeatedly and in varying phraseology the Gospels speak of the healing touch of Christ’s hands. To Mark 1:41 add Mark 7:33; cf. Matt. 8:3, 15; 9:29; 17:7; Mt 20:34; Luke 5:13; 7:14; 22:51. Sometimes, however, the sick touched Jesus (Mark 3:10; Mk 5:27–31; Mk 6:56). Either way the afflicted ones were healed. Evidently in connection with such physical contact healing power issued from the Savior and was transmitted to the person in need of it (Mark 5:30; Luke 8:46). This, however, was no magic! The healing power did not originate in his fingers or his garment. It came straight from the divine and human Jesus, from his almighty will and infinitely sympathetic heart. There was healing power in that touch because he was, and is, “touched with the feeling of our infirmities” (Heb. 4:15). It should not escape the reader that according to Mark 1:41 Jesus was “moved with compassion” when he stretched out his hand and touched the leper. The leper’s need and faith found an immediate response in the Savior’s eagerness to help. And this readiness was one in which his power and his love embraced each other. (BNTC-Mk)

Acts 8:17-19; 9:17; 19:6) FROM GOTQUESTIONS Question: "Laying on of hands - what does the Bible say?" Answer: "Laying on of hands" is a biblical action; however, there is no biblical mandate requiring the physical laying on of hands for a particular spiritual ministry. Jesus certainly laid His hands on many of those He healed; however, He also healed without laying His hands on people. In fact, there were times when He was nowhere in the vicinity of those He healed. Matthew 8:8+ describes Jesus healing the servant of the centurion without going near the centurion’s house. Here are two instances to consider: in one case the Holy Spirit bestows the gift of speaking in tongues with the act of an apostle’s laying on of hands, and in the other case He does so without the laying on of hands, but simply through the apostle’s preaching. "Paul said, ‘John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.’ On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied" (Acts 19:4-6+). "While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God" (Acts 10:44-46+). 1 Timothy 5:22 says, "Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure." The thought here is not so much in cautioning the physical action of laying on of hands but to urge care in bestowing the responsibility of spiritual leadership (however it is done). It is not to be done "suddenly" or without due consideration. Undoubtedly, the laying on of hands in the early church was a means of connecting the message with the messenger, or the spiritual gift with the gifted giver. It provided a "sign" authenticating him through whom the physical manifestation of a spiritual gift was bestowed. We need to understand very carefully that there are no magical biblical formulas for the ministry of the church. Laying on of hands has no power in itself. Laying on of hands is only used by God when it is done in agreement with God’s Word. Mark 5:24 And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him. Wuest And He went off with him. And there kept on following Him a large crowd, and they kept on pressing upon Him almost to the point of suffocation. NET Mark 5:24 Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around him. GNT Mark 5:24 καὶ ἀπῆλθεν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ὄχλος πολὺς καὶ συνέθλιβον αὐτόν.

Luke 8:42+ for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him. And He went off with him - The Greek has it, “went off with him promptly.” Jesus responded immediately to Jairus' request. So He left the seashore and headed off toward Jairus' home. Hiebert makes the interesting comment that "No reply by Jesus is recorded; His prompt action was His answer." Spurgeon on Jesus went off with him - He will always regard true prayer; if we can believe, Jesus will come....

Hendriksen - Faith concealed must become faith revealed. The woman is impelled to bring her testimony: (a) for her own strengthening in the faith, (b) for the benefit of others, and (c) for the glory of God. Warren

Marcos 5

Hendriksen writes Jesus "gave her an opportunity to change "faith concealed" (Matt. 9:21) to "faith revealed" (Mark 5:33), which resulted in further encouragement (Mk 5:34)....Her faith, though not the basic cause of her cure, had been the channel through which the cure had been accomplished. It had been the instrument used by Christ's power and love, to effect her recovery....Moreover, by saying, "Your faith has made you well," was he not also stressing the fact that it was his personal response to her personal faith in him that cured her, thereby removing from her mind any remnant, however small, of superstition, as if his clothes had contributed in any way to the cure? (Baker New Testament Commentary – Exposition of the Gospel According to Mark) NOTE - Some feel that the context indicates that Jesus was talking about the woman’s faith resulting in her physical deliverance, but was not an expression of full salvation (Constable, NET Notes). I would respectfully disagree as do John MacArthur, Warren Wiersbe, D Edmond Hiebert, et al. Heaven will be a most interesting place primarily because of Jesus but also because we could be surprised (if such an emotion exists in Heaven) by who we see there and also (sadly) surprised (shocked if such an emotion can exist in Heaven) by who we do not see there! Here is MacArthur's note on the parallel phrase (your faith has made you well) in Luke 8:48+ - The phrase made you well translates a form of the verb sozo, which is the common New Testament word for salvation. This same phrase in the Greek text appears in Luke 7:50+, where it clearly refers to salvation from sin. It is also used in Luke 17:19+ to describe one of the ten lepers who returned to worship Jesus. While all ten were healed, he alone was saved. Further, the Lord’s calling her daughter indicates that He received her as a child of His kingdom (John 1:12+). She was restored, physically, socially, and spiritually through the grace and personal power of the Lord Jesus Christ. Daughter (2364)(thugater) literally a female as it relates to a parent = daughter. Someone treated as a daughter (Mt 9:22, Mk 5:34, Lk 8:48). Metaphorically as expressing a relation of kindness and tenderness (2 Cor. 6:18) Friberg - daughter; (1) literally, as parents' female offspring (Mt 9.18); (2) figuratively; (a) plural, as female descendants of one ancestor, the female members of a tribe or clan (Lk 1.5); (b) as a friendly address to a girl or woman (Mt 9.22); (c) plural, as female inhabitants of a city (Lk 23.28); (d) as female followers of God (2Co 6.18); (e) as a poetic designation for Jerusalem and its inhabitants - daughter (of) Zion (Mt 21.5 quoting Zech 9:9; Jn 12.15, Isa 3:16, 17, 4:4) (Analytical Lexicon) 27v in NT - Matt. 9:18; Matt. 9:22; Matt. 10:35; Matt. 10:37; Matt. 14:6; Matt. 15:22; Matt. 15:28; Matt. 21:5; Mk. 5:34; Mk. 5:35; Mk. 6:22; Mk. 7:26; Mk. 7:29; Lk. 1:5; Lk. 2:36; Lk. 8:42; Lk. 8:48; Lk. 8:49; Lk. 12:53; Lk. 13:16; Lk. 23:28; Jn. 12:15; Acts 2:17; Acts 7:21; Acts 21:9; 2 Co. 6:18; Heb. 11:24 Faith (4102)(pistis) is synonymous with trust or belief and is the conviction of the truth of anything, but in Scripture usually speaks of belief respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, generally with the included idea of trust and holy fervor born of faith and joined with it. Has made you well (4982)(see note above on sozo) has the basic meaning of rescuing one from great peril. Jesus used the perfect tense which emphasizes that her healing was permanent. Sōzō is often used to demonstrate a connection between a faith and salvation as when the penitent prostitute washed Jesus’ feet with her tears, He told her the same thing He told this woman, “Your faith has saved (sozo) you” (Luke 7:50+ context = Lk 7:37-49 cf. Mk 10:52+ = made you well [sozo] ; Lk 17:19+ = made you well [sozo] ). Perhaps, dear reader, you need to touch the hem of His garment today. Don't delay!.... She only touched the hem of His garment, As to His side she stole, Amid the crowd that gathered around Him; And straightway she was whole. Oh, touch the hem of His garment, And thou, too, shalt be free! His healing pow’r this very hour Shall give new life to thee! She came in fear and trembling before Him, She knew her Lord had come, She felt that from Him virtue had healed her, The mighty deed was done. He turned with “Daughter, be of good comfort, Thy faith hath made thee whole”; And peace that passeth all understanding With gladness filled her soul. -- G F Root Lockyer - It is encouraging to know that His saving power this very hour can give new life to all who by faith take hold of His skirt. "“Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘In those days (Messianic Kingdom on earth) ten men from all the nations will grasp the garment of a Jew, saying, “Let us go with you (TO SEE THE MESSIAH), for we have heard that God is with you.”’ (Zechariah 8:23).

Marcos 5

Hendriksen - A few days after a certain minister preached on this section of Scripture (Mark 5:25-34 and parallels), he received the following poem from a lady who had composed it after hearing the sermon: "Who touched me?" 'Twas the voice of the Master, And the woman's heart beat faster and faster. Trembling she came and bowed her head. "I touched thee, Lord," was what she said. But the Master answered, "Go thy way, Thy faith has made thee whole this day." "Have you touched me?" I heard it. 'Twas the voice of the Master, And O my heart beat faster and faster. "You came with the throng to God's house today, But I felt not your touch as you went your way." I was ashamed and bowed my head. "Reach out a bit farther next time," he said. John

Marcos 5

Hendriksen comments on the mourners paradoxically switching from morning to laughing writing that "It seems that these mourners were endowed with the dubious gift of shifting in one sudden moment from dismal moaning to uproarious mirth. Does not this very laughter also confirm the belief that the child had really died? Does it not therefore also bear witness to the genuine nature of the child's restoration from death?" MacArthur makes an insightful comment "That their weeping could so quickly turn to laughter, even mocking laughter, betrayed the fact that their mourning was a paid act and did not reflect genuine sorrow. It also betrayed their complete lack of faith in Jesus’ power to raise the girl from the dead." They began laughing at Him - "They jeered at him" (Weymouth)."They were laughing in his face" (Hendriksen) The lack of faith that comes from unbelief goes beyond mere disbelief, to ridicule. They laughed him to scorn. Began laughing is in the imperfect tense picturing them doing this over and over, an ongoing ridiculing of Jesus! Woe! I would hate to be them at the judgment! The NET expresses the sense well rendering it "they began making fun of Him." "Can you imagine—laughing, pointing to Jesus, laughing Him to scorn? More of that is happening in the world today. Jesus is the One Who is derided. He is the One who is spoken against. Have you ever thought about how this world hates Jesus Christ?" (Adrian Rogers) Began laughing (2606)(katagelao from kata = down, against + gelao = to laugh) means to laugh (down) at, deride, scorn, ridicule, scornfully mock. Three uses in NT - Matt. 9:24; Mk. 5:40; Lk. 8:53 all three in context refer to the reaction of the mourner to Jesus at the death and resurrection of Jairus' daughter. It is used 16 times in the Septuagint and most often refers to derisive laughter - e.g., Pr 17:5 "He who mocks (Lxx - katagelao in present tense = continually laughs at) the poor taunts his Maker." Ge 38:23; 2 Chr. 30:10; Est. 4:17; Job 5:22; Job 9:23; Job 21:3; Job 30:1; Job 39:7; Job 39:18; Job 39:22; Job 41:29; Ps. 25:2; Prov. 17:5; Prov. 29:9; Prov. 30:17; Mic. 3:7; THOUGHT- If you have ever endured the laughs of those who ridicule you for you faith just remember, they laughed at your Lord and also remember, your heavenly Father will have the last laugh. (Daniel Hill -Commentary) Adrian Rogers applies the fact that they laughed at Jesus to those times when Christians are laughed at by the world declaring "there’s going to be personal insult. They’re going to revile you. If you’re a child of God, you’re going to be a butt of jokes. You’re going to be openly ridiculed. I’ve been ridiculed since I was in high school for standing up for the Lord Jesus Christ. I’ve been ridiculed by football players that I’ve played football with. I’ve been ridiculed by classmates. I don’t say that feeling sorry for myself. The fleas come with the dog. I mean, you’re going to be ridiculed; they’re going to revile you. And, you know, some people can stand almost anything except to be laughed at. Do you know that? Does it bother you to be laughed at? The Bible says of the Lord Jesus Christ that “they laughed him to scorn.” (Matthew 9:24; Mark 5:40; Luke 8:53) Can you imagine anybody getting a belly laugh at the Lord Jesus Christ? They did. “They laughed him to scorn.” (Matthew 9:24; Mark 5:40; Luke 8:53) They were even mocking Him when He was on the cross dying in agony and blood." THROWING OUT THE MOURNERS LIKE HE DID THE MONEYCHANGERS! But putting them all out - Putting....out (ekbállō) is used, almost always has the connotation of force in Mark. An apt paraphrase might be "He threw them all out" even as He did the moneychangers in John 2:15+ when He "drove them all out (same verb - ekbállō) of the temple courts." Don't miss the point that even here Jesus was again disturbing long established traditions that had been prescribed by the rabbis and were to be assiduously followed when someone died. In putting them all out, Jesus put into practice His instruction in the Sermon of the Mount - "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." (Mt 7:6+) "This is no weak Jesus, this is the Lord Who created all things and holds all power in His hand (read Hebrews 1:3+), King of all kings and Lord of all lords." (Hill) Daniel Hill - Here we see that Jesus was the MASTER of this house. He threw the mourners out - Any home where Jesus is invited in becomes His home, He is the Master of our homes as he was the Master of Jairus' home. (Commentary) Kenneth
