Charles Spurgeon Commentary Mark 5:34-35

"And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue`s [house] saying, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Teacher any further?" — Mark 5:34-35 (ASV)

Your faith has made you whole; go in peace, and be whole of your plague. While he was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, Your daughter is dead: why do you trouble the Master any further?

This ruler of the synagogue was on the brink of getting the blessing he sought, and then the very worst news comes to him. It may be that right now some of you seem to have received the sentence of death to all your hopes, yet you are on the very verge of getting the blessing. It is often so; just when the devil knows that the blessing is near, he struggles the hardest with the soul that is seeking it. Do not be cast down if that sentence of death comes to you, but still believe.
