Two miracles of Jesus are interwoven in the gospel passage. On his way to help Jairus rescuing his daughter from death, Jesus had privately healed a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years and could not get any better even though she spent most of resources with earthly physicians. Because of her faith, Jesus healed her in private and asked her to acknowledge that in public so that others could also glorify God. Even though Jairus’ daughter had died by the time Jesus reached his house, he gave her life back. In contrast to the previous miracle, Jesus instructed the parents of the child not to tell others the details of the miracle. People standing around there mourning at the death of the child was already aware of what had happened.
