Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 41. - And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. The public request, made too with intense earnestness, of one holding such a position, is a clear proof that the Galilee enthusiasm for Jesus was by no means confined to the poorer part of the population, or even to the more careless and thoughtless; such a man as Jairus is a fair representative of the well-to-do, perhaps wealthy, orthodox Jew; strict and rigid in his ritual observances, and held in high honour by his fellow Jewish citizens. The name is only a form of the Hebrew Jair (Judges 10:3).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(41-56) And, behold, there came a man named Jairus.--See Notes on Matthew 9:18-26, and Mark 5:21-43. St. Luke's narrative agrees with St. Mark's more closely than with St. Matthew's.
