One important aspect of this story is its location, placed in the middle of the story of Jesus’ healing of Jarius’ daughter. The story of the hemorrhaging woman’s healing interrupts that of the rising of Jairus’ daughter as Jesus makes his way to Jairus’ house. After the woman is healed, the story of Jairus’ daughter is continued and concluded. Since all three synoptic gospels keep the placement of the hemorrhaging woman in the middle of the story about Jairus’ daughter, it can be assumed that Matthew and Luke kept Mark’s original intercalation in order to preserve a theme of one or both of the stories. On the surface, the recipients of the miracles in either story hold nothing in common. Jairus is identified as a leader of the Galilee synagogue
