SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:37
Y no permiti que alguno viniese tras l sino Pedro, y Jacobo, y Juan hermano de Jacobo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 37. And he suffered no man to follow him , etc..] To the house of the ruler, but dismissed the multitude, being not desirous of the honour and applause of men: probably what he said to the ruler, was privately, and with a low voice, so that the multitude did not hear him; and understanding by the messengers that the child was dead, were the more easily prevailed upon to depart, since they might conclude there was nothing now to be done; save Peter, and James, and John, the brother of James : three favourite disciples, who were a sufficient number of witnesses; and who were taken alone along with Christ on some other occasions, as at his transfiguration, and when in the garden.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 35-43 - We may suppose Jairus hesitating whether he should ask Christ to go of or not, when told that his daughter was dead. But have we not as muc occasion for the grace of God, and the comfort of his Spirit, for the prayers of our ministers and Christian friends, when death is in the house, as when sickness is there? Faith is the only remedy agains grief and fear at such a time. Believe the resurrection, then fear not He raised the dead child to life by a word of power. Such is the gospe call to those who are by nature dead in trespasses and sins. It is by the word of Christ that spiritual life is given. All who saw it, an heard of it, admired the miracle, and Him that wrought it. Though we cannot now expect to have our dead children or relatives restored, we may hope to find comfort under our trials __________________________________________________________________

5:37 {Save Peter, and James, and John} (ei me petron kai lakwbon kai iwanen). Probably the house was too small for the other disciples to come in with the family. The first instance of this inner circle of three seen again on the Mount of Transfiguration and in the Garden of Gethsemane. The one article in the Greek treats the group as a unit.
