Mark 5:35–38
35 While* he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler’s house* saying, “Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher further?” 36 But Jesus, ignoringo ⌊what was said⌋,p told the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid—only believe!” 37 And he did not allow anyone to follow along with him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James. 38 And they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue and saw a commotion, and people weeping and wailing loudly.
| * | Here “while” is supplied as a component of the temporal genitive absolute participle (“speaking”) |
| * | Here “house” is implied since the synagogue ruler himself is directly addressed (and therefore present) in the remainder of this verse |
| o | Or “overhearing” |
| p | Literally “the report that was spoken” |
