Matthew Poole and continuators on Mark 5:24

24 And Iesus went with him, and much people followed him, and thronged him.

This whole History also is recorded both by Matthew and Luke, and we have already in our Notes, upon Matth. 9.18, &c. fully opened the several Passages of it mentioned by all the Evangelists, to which we refer the Reader. Christ was now come over again into Galilee, where tho the Temple was not, yet there were Synagogues, where the People did ordinarily assemble to Worship God. Nor were they without order in these Synagogues, they had one whom they called the Ruler of the Synagogue, who directed, and ordered the Affairs of that particular Synagogue. It is more probable, that Iairus (here mentioned) was in that Sense so called, than because he was one of the Court of twenty three which the Iews are said to have had in every City.
