When they arrived at the house, Jesus wouldn’t let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the little girl’s father and mother. The house was filled with people weeping and wailing, but he said, “Stop the weeping! She isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.”

But the crowd laughed at him because they all knew she had died. Then Jesus took her by the hand and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!” And at that moment her life returned, and she immediately stood up! Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. Her parents were overwhelmed, but Jesus insisted that they not tell anyone what had happened.

Luke 8:51-56

When they left, a demon-possessed man who couldn’t speak was brought to Jesus. So Jesus cast out the demon, and then the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed. “Nothing like this has ever happened in Israel!” they exclaimed.
Matthew 9:32-33

• The parallel accounts of the raising of Jairus' daughter show Jesus actively demonstrating His divinity and Kingship, not just by healing, but by dominating powers—disease, ritual impurity, and death—that no mere human or prophet could control.
• This passage is actually two miracles intertwined: a public healing that affirms Jesus' power, and a private resurrection that affirms Jesus' sovereignty.
• Jesus’s identity as fully God is revealed by the nature of His power and its effect on the Law. This is seen in the healing of the woman with the issue of blood, which interrupts the journey to Jairus' house.

• The woman had suffered from a flow of blood for 12 years and had spent all her money on doctors with no relief. She was considered ritually unclean under the Mosaic Law, meaning anything she touched also became unclean, forcing her into total isolation.
• She came up behind Jesus, desperate, thinking, "If I can just get close enough to touch him, maybe that'll help”. She touched only the border of His garment.
• Instantly, her hemorrhaging stopped. The miracle wasn't just the healing; it was the transfer of power from Jesus:
  
  • Jesus said, "Somebody touched me because I felt the power go out of me". This shows that the power to heal flowed out of Christ—it wasn't channeled from an external source—demonstrating His divine fullness.
  • He did not become unclean by the touch. Instead, cleansing flowed from Him to the woman, reversing the Law's usual effect. His holiness was greater than her impurity.

• While Jesus is teaching the woman, a messenger arrives with the ultimate bad news: "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher".
• At this moment of ultimate hopelessness, Jesus immediately speaks a divine command to Jairus: "Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be made well".
  
  • This command to "only believe" is a call to trust God when human reason says it is too late. It demonstrates Jesus’s ultimate authority over the final enemy: death.
• Upon arriving, Jesus encounters mourners who are weeping. He tells them: "Do not weep. She is not dead, but sleeping".
  
  • The people ridiculed Him, knowing she was dead.
  • Jesus' point is that for Him, death is not permanent; He has the power to call her back just as one can wake someone from sleep. This is a profound claim to sovereignty over life and death.

• Jesus puts the mourners out, takes the girl's hand, and commands, "Little girl, arise". Her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. This resurrection is irrefutable proof of the promised King's divine power.
• The interruption of the woman shows that Jesus is never too busy or focused on the "vast cosmic problems" to take time to listen and respond to the individual in need.
• This passage demands that we recognize Jesus' ultimate authority. 

When we face our own "unclean" habits (sin), "dying" hopes (despair), or seemingly impossible circumstances, the King’s command remains the same: "Only believe." Our faith, like Jairus' and the woman's, must rest in the absolute divine power of Christ, who has authority over every earthly law and the power of death itself.
