A notable finding

One of our most interesting findings last week concerned the curious interruption in the story of Jairus and his daughter.

Would there have been a conflict between Jairus and the woman with the flow of blood?
What effect does it have on the listener that Dr. Luke includes the story of the woman with the flow of blood inside the story of Jairus and his daughter?

1. Ken: The love aspect, interrupted by healing the woman -- Jairus' love was so strong, to love thy neighbor as thyself -- that it replaces the complicated Torah of the 613+ requirements as motivation for his actions.
2. Jim: Jairus' conversion after seeing the woman healed, a sign of contradiction, allowed him to continue home to his daughter.

Excellent.
