“While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.”
While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. Your daughter is dead, he said. Don't bother the teacher anymore — the interruption of the bleeding woman's healing has allowed time for the worst news to arrive: your daughter is dead. Don't bother the teacher anymore: the pragmatic advice of people who have not yet understood who Jesus is. Death terminates the need for a healer — or so they think.
