But Jesus overheard their conversation In this passage, Jesus is depicted as being fully aware of the situation around Him, demonstrating His omniscience. The context here is that Jairus, a synagogue leader, has just been informed that his daughter has died. The term "overheard" suggests that Jesus is attentive to the needs and concerns of those around Him, even when they are not directly addressed to Him. This reflects His divine nature and His role as a compassionate Savior who is always present and aware of our struggles. and said to Jairus Do not be afraid just believe Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Faith Over FearJesus' words, "Do not be afraid; only believe," highlight the importance of faith over fear. In times of crisis, believers are called to trust in Jesus' power and authority. The Power of Jesus' Word The command to believe is not just a suggestion but a powerful directive. Jesus' words have the authority to change circumstances and bring life where there is death. The Role of Faith in Miracles Faith is a recurring theme in Jesus' miracles. It is not the amount of faith but the object of faith—Jesus—that is crucial. Trusting in God's Timing Jairus had to wait and trust Jesus despite the delay and the seemingly hopeless situation. Believers are encouraged to trust God's timing and purposes. Community of Believers The presence of the crowd and the messengers reminds us of the community's role in our faith journey. Encouragement and support from fellow believers can strengthen our faith.Verse 36. - The words of the narrative, as they stand in the Authorized Version, are: As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. But there is good authority for the reading παρακούσας instead of εὐθέως ἀκούσας which requires the rendering, but Jesus, not heeding, or overhearing. This word (παρακούω) occurs in one other place in the Gospels, namely, in Matthew 18:17, "And if he refuse to hear them (ἐὰν δὲ παρακούσῃ αὐτῶν)." Here the word can only have the meaning of "not heeding," or " refusing to hear." This seems to be a strong reason for giving the word a somewhat similar meaning in this passage. And therefore, on the whole, "not heeding" seems to be the best rendering. Indeed, it seems to cover both meanings. Our Lord would overhear, and yet not heed, the word spoken.
