SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:22
Y vino uno de los príncipes de la sinagoga, llamado Jairo; y luego que le vio, se postr a sus pies,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. And behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue , etc..] Having heard of his return, and where he was; (see Gill on Matthew 9:18). Jairus by name ; in Hebrew ryay , Jair: and Jerom says f85 , it signifies enlightening, or enlightened: deriving it from rwa , to be light: and it is no doubt a Jewish name, since he was a ruler of the synagogue; and besides, it is often mentioned in the Old Testament, and particularly in ( Esther 2:5), where, in the Septuagint, it is read, Iairov , Jairus. Matthew makes no mention of his name; but both Mark and Luke do, ( Mark 5:22 Luke 8:41). And when he saw him, he fell at his feet : as soon as he came into his presence; though he was a person of such authority; yet having heard much of the doctrine and miracles of Christ, and believing him to be a great prophet, and man of God; though he might not know that he was the Messiah, and truly God, threw himself at his feet; and, as Matthew says, worshipped him, ( Matthew 9:18); showed great reverence and respect unto him, gave him homage, at least in a civil way, though he might not adore him as God.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 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, De 6:7. It is common with people not to apply to Christ til they have tried in vain all other helpers, and find them, as certainl they will, physicians of no value. Some run to diversions and ga company; others plunge into business, or even into intemperance; other go about to establish their own righteousness, or torment themselves by vain superstitions. Many perish in these ways; but none will ever fin 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. A secret acts of sin, so secret acts of faith, are known to the Lor Jesus. The woman told all the truth. It is the will of Christ that his people should be comforted, and he has power to command comfort to troubled spirits. The more simply we depend on Him, and expect grea things from him, the more we shall find in ourselves that he is becom our salvation. Those who, by faith, are healed of their spiritual diseases, have reason to go in peace.
