Irenaeus

AGAINST HERESIES 5.13.1 (202)

Let our opponents-that is, they who speak against their own salvation-inform us [as to this point]: The deceased daughter of the high priest; the widow's dead son, who was being carded out [to burial] near the gate [of the city]; and Lazarus, who had lain four days in the tomb, -in what bodies did they rise again? In those same, no doubt, in which they had also died. For if it were not in the very same, then certainly those same individuals who had died did not rise again.

Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

And behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue,.... Having heard of his return, and where he was; See Gill on Mat 9:18. Jairus by name; in Hebrew יאיר, "Jair": and Jerom says (n), it signifies "enlightening", or "enlightened": deriving it from אור, "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 Est 2:5, where, in the Septuagint, it is read, Ιαιρος, Jairus.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Now among the many that applied themselves to him, I. Here is one, that comes openly to beg a cure for a sick child; and it is no less a person than one of the rulers of the synagogue, one that presided in the synagogue-worship or, as some think, one of the judges of the consistory court, which was in every city, consisting of twenty-three.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Jairus by name--or "Jaeirus." It is the same name as Jair, in the Old Testament (Nu 32:41; Es 2:5). and when he saw him, he fell at his feet--in Matthew (Mt 9:18), "worshipped Him." The meaning is the same in both.
