Mark 15 Pilate knee that the charges Sharon’s Christ were trumped up. He not only found no fault in Christ but he sent Him to the crucifixion knowing that he was killing an innocent man to appease those who were jealous of that innocent Man.

Had the promise to give whatever she asked been made in private Herod might have refused but because he did it publicly he didn’t dare to refuse especially considering that she requested that…

Mark 5 The man who was possessed of the devil(s) Legion was sent as a missionary to share his story of redemption. I never caught that Jairus’daughter died while Christ was detained when the woman touched the hem of His robe to be healed.
