"While Jesus was speaking"

# some people came from the leader of the synagogue

"The leader of the synagogue" is a metonym for the synagogue leader's house or household. It is most likely that these were family members or servants and not some other people who happened to be in the house. Alternate translation: "some people came from the house of the leader of the synagogue" or "some people from the synagogue leader's household came" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# the leader of the synagogue

This refers to Jairus ([Mark 5:22](./22.md)).

# synagogue, saying

"synagogue, saying to Jairus"

# Why trouble the teacher any longer?
