Transcripts
well hello I'm Mike and welcome to the
10 minute Bible study so go ahead grab a
Bible we're gonna open it up to mark
chapter 5 starting in verse 21 today
we'll be looking at the story of Jairus
daughter and the bleeding woman let's
dive in now first as always looks at the
context as we saw in our last episode
Jesus had gotten into a boat sailed
across the Sea of Galilee where he
gotten out on the shores and the country
of the Gerasenes and in that place he
had an encounter with a man who is
possessed by a legion of demons and
jesus healed this man body-mind-spirit
restored him into his right mind and
then sent the man out to tell the
countryside and the villages around
there what Jesus had done for him then
Jesus gets back on the boat and sails
away now Jesus is back over Capernaum
back in Jewish country and this is what
happens starting at verse 21 and when
Jesus had crossed again in the boat to
the other side a great crowd gathered
about him and he was beside the sea then
came one of the rulers of the synagogue
Jairus by name and seeing him he fell at
his feet and implored him earnestly
saying my little daughter is at the
point of death come and lay her hands on
her so that she may be made well and
live and Jesus went with him all right
so there's a crowd waiting for him the
same crowd that Jesus had tried to
escape and the end of chapter 4 is right
there waiting for him now they want him
to pick up where he left off and so
Jesus arrives at Shore and he gets out
of the boat there's the crowds waiting
in a synagogue ruler comes to Jesus his
name is gyrus now gyrus is somebody
important he is a ruler of the synagogue
and up until this point at least for the
last couple of chapters generally the
powers that be have not been happy with
Jesus they felt threatened by him gyrus
on the other hand is desperate and we
see it right here in the text seeing him
he fell at his feet and implored him
earnestly now I've seen a mark a couple
different things we've seen that for
mark proximity is important how close
you are to Jesus actually it tells us
something about the characters
relationship with Jesus and gyruss runs
right up to Jesus and falls at his feet
posture is also important in the Gospel
of Mark it tells us something about the
character and so gyrus runs up proximity
falls at his feet posture he is
demonstrating his humility before Jesus
making it clear that he's desperate for
Jesus that that he needs Jesus and then
he begs him implored him earnestly this
man has a serious problem he's got a
daughter his daughter is dying
he knows his only hope is Jesus so he
runs to him in front of the entire crowd
he humbles himself begs Jesus to go with
him and of course Jesus responds when we
come to Jesus when we draw close to
Jesus when our posture before Jesus is
one of earnestness in humility we humble
ourselves before him he always responds
but as well see Jesus doesn't always
respond in the way that we expect or the
way that we hope let's continue with the
story and a great crowd followed him and
thronged about him and there was a woman
who had had a discharge of blood for 12
years and who had suffered much under
many physicians and had spent all that
she had and was no better but rather
grew worse she'd heard the reports about
Jesus and came up behind him in the
crowd and touched his garment for she
said if I touch even his garments I will
be made well alright so he still had the
situation of the crowd the crowd is
thronging about Jesus they're going with
Jesus as Jesus goes with gyruss and
there's this woman who approaches him in
the midst of the crowd she'd had a
discharge of blood for 12 years 12 years
is a really long time now I don't know
if it's a literal 12 years or if Mark is
using 12 here figuratively often in the
Bible 12 is a symbolic number it's a
number of completeness either way she
has been really unwell and uncomfortable
for a really long
time now in the past when I've taught
this passage to high schoolers or to
college students there's something that
I like to do to help especially the
young men enter into this text a little
bit but the women as well and so what
I've done in the past is I've asked the
men to leave the room and I've asked the
girls to have a discussion among
themselves about what it might be like
to have a discharge of blood for 12
years we don't often actually think
about what the woman is dealing with we
just know she was sick it was
uncomfortable and what we do is I ask
the women the girls to talk amongst
themselves about what that might have
been like and then to try to explain to
the guys what it might have been like
now I'm not gonna do that in this video
because I'm a male and that would just
be awkward but I think it is worth
pressing the pause button and think
about the discomfort the humiliation
that might have come with a discharge of
blood that you couldn't control and that
didn't stop for 12 years okay there's
the physical side of it then there's a
spiritual side for this woman if she was
bleeding Old Testament law that would
have made her unclean and so here's a
woman who had been unclean for 12 years
now if you're unclean you're unable to
participate in temple worship so she
would have been excluded from the
religious life of her people now if you
touch someone who's unclean it makes you
unclean so this woman likely had not
participated in spiritual religious and
for ancient Jews that would have been
social life of her people for 12 years
she also would not have experienced much
by way of human touch for 12 years
that's why touch here matters so much
now the text tells us that she'd
suffered much under the hand of many
physicians she had gone to a lot of
doctors and none of them had helped they
had only made it worse more suffering
poking and prodding and best guesses
from men who had no idea she'd spent all
she had
she was now destitute all of her money
her income or resources had been spent
trying to get well nothing so this woman
is broke she's alienated from people
she's alienated from the life of her
people she's experienced no human touch
and she was no better but rather grew
worse
so got this juxtaposition going on we've
got gyrus who's a person of great
importance and influence but who's
desperate he does all the right things
he comes in he falls at Jesus's feet and
begs him to heal his daughter and then
we've had gyrus juxtaposed with the
bleeding woman gyrus is named the
bleeding woman is never named we don't
know her name she's a nobody okay she's
broke she's ostracized excluded outcast
but like gyrus she is in desperate need
of a healing touch from Jesus and she's
heard about him and so she slips through
the crowd thinking to herself if I can
just get close enough to touch him
I will be made well now that in and of
itself is a bold move because if she
touches Jesus then she risks making this
healer unclean but she's desperate
enough that she is willing to do it the
text tells us and immediately when she
touched him the full of blood dried up
and she felt in her body that she was
healed of her disease immediately the
touch from Jesus were real it rather her
touch of Jesus has healed her of her
physical ailments proximity to Jesus for
her in this instance
brings healing and Jesus perceiving in
himself that power had gone out from him
immediately turned about in the crowd
and said who touched my garments as his
disciples said to him you see the crowd
pressing around you and yet you say who
touched me and Jesus looked around to
see who had done it
so Jesus he knows he knows something has
happened now of course he's in a crowd
they are thronging about him that's the
word that Mark had used earlier of
course people are touching him he's
being jostled touched all the time and
yet he knew that this touch was
different he had felt the power go out
of him and he felt it immediately
there's that word again that we see
again and again in mark immediately
jesus knew and he stops and he looks
around his disciples are like Jesus
you're being a little bit ridiculous
here of course somebody touched you but
Jesus he knows that something different
is up and so he looked around to see who
had done it and the woman knowing what
had happened
to her she knew that she had been made
well came in fear and trembling and fell
down before him and told him the whole
truth the woman's afraid she is only for
12 years experienced suffering
embarrassment humiliation pain and loss
at the hands of men I can't help but
wonder if a little part of her wonders
if maybe Jesus is going to be like those
other men so she comes before him fear
and trembling she is afraid the text
tells us she fell down before him we've
seen this before back in verse 22 gyrus
comes to Jesus and falls at his feet
lumen has already gotten close to Jesus
proximity and now her posture changes to
one of desperation and humility but look
what she does here she fell down before
him and told him the whole truth this is
perhaps the crux of this whole text
let's not miss this the one comes to
Jesus falls down on his feet and tells
him the whole truth she tells him her
whole story right there in the middle of
the crowd and a crowd that was going
places because the very important
synagogue rulers daughter is dying yet
Jesus stops and listens to her story he
hears her story her 12 year long story
she told him the whole truth he calls
her daughter and he tells her in that
moment that it's her faith that has made
her well and so go in peace this woman
who had experienced only suffering is
now sent and given peace thanks so much
