Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Mark (lightly modernized text, Grace Gems edition) (1857)

A great miracle is recorded in these verses. A dead girl is restored to life. Mighty as the "King of terrors" is, there is One mightier than he. The keys of death are in our Lord Jesus Christ's hands. He will one day "swallow up death in victory." (Isaiah 25:8.) Let us learn from these verses, that rank places no man beyond the reach of sorrow . Jairus was a "ruler;" yet sickness and trouble came to his house.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

And straightway the damsel--The word here is different from that in Mr 5:39-41, and signifies "young maiden," or "little girl." arose, and walked--a vivid touch evidently from an eye-witness. And they were astonished with a great astonishment--The language here is the strongest.
