Židovská synagóga
Každá synagóga mala akýsi druh kapituly alebo kolégia starších, ktorému predsedal predstavený,
ktorý dohliadal na bohoslužby a mal právomoc exkomunikácie.
Slová v Skutkoch apoštolov 13:15,hovoria, že niektoré synagógy mali niekoľko predstavených.
15 Po čítaní zo Zákona a Prorokov im predstavení synagógy poslali odkaz: „Muži, bratia, ak máte pre ľud dajaké slovo povzbudenia, prehovorte.“
Marek 5,22: Tu prišiel k nemu jeden z predstavených synagógy menom Jairus.
Mená tých, ktorí boli predmetom Spasiteľovho milosrdenstva, poznáme, len zriedka.
Jairus bol pravdepodobne jedným z tých, ktorí prišli k Pánovi prosiť za stotníka v Kafarnaume (Lukáš 7:3).
Lukaš 7 :https://biblia.sk/citanie/seb/lk/7 Postavil nám synagógu.
Po pomoci, o ktorú potom požiadal ďalšiu, teraz túži po sebe, no pod tlakom ešte väčšej pohromy.
Meno JAIRUS je pravdepodobne grécky výraz pre hebrejské meno JAIR, ktorí má význam: "On osvecuje"
Meno JAIR sa vyskytuje v biblii na dvoch iných miestach:
3 Po ňom povstal Gileádovec Jaír a súdil Izrael dvadsaťdva rokov.

40 Mojžiš pridelil Gileád Menaššeho synovi Machírovi a ten sa tam usadil. 41 Aj Jaír, syn Menaššeho, vytiahol do boja, obsadil ich stanové dediny a nazval ich Chavvót-Jaír.https://biblia.sk/citanie/seb/nm/32

Verses 22, 23. - One of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name. He appears to have been one of the "college of elders," who administered the affairs of the synagogue. The name Jairus, or "Ya eiros," is probably the Greek form of the Hebrew Jair, "he will illuminate." He fell at his feet, and besought him greatly; it is literally (πίπτει καὶ παρεκάλει), he falleth at his feet, and beseecheth him. We picture him to ourselves, making his way through the crowd, and as he approached Jesus, kneeling down, and then bending his head towards him, until his forehead touched the ground. My little daughter is at the point of death. St. Matthew says, "is even now dead;" St. Luke says, "she Jay a dying." The broken sentences of the father are very true to nature. All the expressions point to the same conclusion, that she was in articulo mortis. In each narrative the ruler is represented as asking that Christ would hasten to his house. He had not reached the higher faith of the Gentile centurion, "Speak the word only." Mark 5:22
Jairus.—The name is given by St. Mark and St. Luke only. It was a Græcised form of the Jair of Judges 10:3, Numbers 32:41.
Jairus’s knowledge of Jesus is implied in the story, and perhaps Jesus’ acquaintance with him.
. the rulers of the synagogue] Each synagogue had a kind of Chapter or College of Elders, presided over by a ruler, who superintended the services, and possessed the power of excommunication. From this place, e.g., compared with Acts 13:15, it would appear that some synagogues had several rulers.
