Commentary for Mark 5:41
Mark 5:41 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, specifically from the Gospel of Mark. This verse is part of the narrative where Jesus Christ demonstrates his power over life and death. In the passage, Jesus has been approached by Jairus, a synagogue ruler, who pleads for Jesus to heal his dying daughter. While en route to Jairus's house, Jesus is interrupted by a woman who touches his cloak, seeking healing for her own condition, which Jesus grants.
Upon arriving at Jairus's home, Jesus encounters mourners who laugh at him when he claims the girl is not dead but sleeping. He puts them out and goes into the room where the girl lies. The verse in question, Mark 5:41, captures the moment Jesus takes the girl by the hand and speaks the Aramaic words "Talitha cumi," which translate to "Little girl, I say to you, get up!" This act of raising the girl from the dead is a profound demonstration of Jesus' authority and compassion.
The themes present in this verse include faith and its power to transcend despair, the authority of Jesus over life and death, and the intimacy of Jesus' interaction with the girl, as he addresses her personally and gently. Historically, the use of Aramaic, the common language of Palestine at the time, underscores the authenticity of the account and connects the reader to the cultural context of Jesus' ministry. This miracle is one of several in the Gospels that serve to confirm Jesus' identity as the Messiah and Son of God, with power to overcome even death, foreshadowing the central event of the Christian faith: the resurrection of Jesus himself.
