In Matthew 9:24, Jesus says the girl is only sleeping — this reveals the miracle's climax, showing the ruler's faith is about to be rewarded.

Matthew 9:23 shows Jesus arriving at the ruler's house, fulfilling the request to lay hands on his daughter.

In Matthew 8:8, the centurion says Jesus need not come—contrasting Jairus's request for Jesus to physically come and lay hands.

Matthew 15:25 describes the Canaanite woman kneeling before Jesus and crying for help — a very similar scene of humble request for mercy.

In Matthew 8:2, a leper also kneels before Jesus and pleads for healing, mirroring the ruler's posture and desperate request.

Mark 5:22-43 provides the fuller parallel account of Jairus, including the interruption by the bleeding woman and the daughter's age.

In Mark 5:23, Jairus says his daughter is dying (not dead) — a slight variation from Matthew's 'has died,' highlighting different synoptic traditions.

Luke 8:41-56 is another parallel account, adding that Jairus's daughter was his only child and including the same interruption.

Luke 8:42 adds that the daughter was an only child and dying—parallel detail enriching the same story.

In Luke 8:49, messengers inform Jairus that his daughter has already died — a detail absent from Matthew's concise version.

John 4:46 also features a ruler/official pleading for Jesus to heal his child, similar to the request here.
