24 So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him.
24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
24 And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him.
24 Jesus went with him, the whole crowd tagging along, pushing and jostling him.
24 So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.
24 Jesus went with him, and all the people followed, crowding around him.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 5:24
Commentary on Mark 5:21-34
(Read Mark 5:21-34)
A despised gospel will go where it will be better received. One of the rulers of a synagogue earnestly besought Christ for a little daughter, about twelve years old, who was dying. Another cure was wrought by the way. We should do good, not only when in the house, but when we walk by the way, Deuteronomy 6:7. It is common with people not to apply to Christ till they have tried in vain all other helpers, and find them, as certainly they will, physicians of no value. Some run to diversions and gay company; others plunge into business, or even into intemperance; others go about to establish their own righteousness, or torment themselves by vain superstitions. Many perish in these ways; but none will ever find rest to the soul by such devices; while those whom Christ heals of the disease of sin, find in themselves an entire change for the better. As secret acts of sin, so secret acts of faith, are known to the Lord Jesus. The woman told all the truth. It is the will of Christ that his people should be comforted, and he has power to command comfort to troubled spirits. The more simply we depend on Him, and expect great things from him, the more we shall find in ourselves that he is become our salvation. Those who, by faith, are healed of their spiritual diseases, have reason to go in peace.
