Sungenis, How Long Did the Woman Bleed?

You claimed that St. Jerome, or whoever it was, was making eisegesis rather than exegesis about Jairus' daughter and the bleeding woman.

Now, the interpretation that you actually gave as his, while disagreeing with it, was this:

Jesus is called to his eighth miracle when approached by Jairus. However, He is stopped by a bleeding woman who then gets the actual eighth miracle, and then Jairus gets the ninth, indicating Jews will have a grace of conversion after the Gentiles, therefore some time in the endtimes.

Let's pass by Romans 11 or Apocalypse 7 for now. Just a look at this couple of miracles.

And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years And had suffered many things from many physicians; and had spent all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse
[Mark 5:25-26]

How long had Classic Greek mythology existed at this time? Its heroic legends are about things around 1179 BC (fall of Troy) or earlier, by the religion of Mycenae was not the same as that Classic Greek religion, it was a different one, Poseidon was more important (and called Potei Daon, so basically Baal Dagon) and Dionysus was different, and Apollo might not have been worshipped yet by Greeks (he apparently was by Trojans, though) ...

This means, the Classic Greek religion was 12 Centuries old at this point in time. Could 12 years in the woman symbolise 12 Centuries for Greece? Well, when St. Paul wants to mention "Gentile" he doesn't say "Roman" (to him that's citizenship and statescraft), he says "Greek" ...

One more thing. Did those worshipping Greek gods become impure by that? Yes. What was the health problem of that woman? One of impurity.

One more.

To whom did these Pagans look for health? You can get it in the wording of the Hippocratic oath.

"Omnumi ton Apollona" ...

I'm not the one swearing, I'm just quoting. So, the Greeks spent loads on the oracle of Delphi. Did it make them any better?

In Aeschylus' The Libation Bearers or at least Sophocles' parallel Electra we learn that Orestes killed his mother on direct order of Apollo who told him his father's soul could get no rest until his killer (and wife, adulteress) had been killed in revenge. That's why in The Eumenides it's Apollo who tries to stop the Erinyes from molesting the mother murderous Orestes, whom they had persecuted.

Now, a god who tells his worshippers to kill a murderer, even if that one be a mother, because the murder victim can get no rest, does that strike you as one healing his worshippers?

And had suffered many things from many physicians; and had spent all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse

In relation to one of them, Apollo, I would say, "rather worse" is the understatement of 7 millennia. In other words, the woman very perfectly symbolises the condition of Greek religion adepts.

Greco-Roman religion had other types of religiosity than the mythological one. For instance Stoicism. But Stoicism is connected to Hercules worship, which in turn has both fostered male homosexuality (confer Romans 1) and then Stoicism itself the chilling comment in Tacitus' Annals, "Paete, non dolet" ... basically, "suicide is no big deal" ...

"Rather worse" very much fits that.

Now, you may pretend, "we need to chose, Alexandrian or Antiochene school, allegory or letter" ... no.

St. Augustine said it of the Ark, and St. Thomas repeats it, as Catholics we believe the letter and the allegory.

Now, what religion could be meant by the daughter of a chief of the Synagogue?

I think I know one who fits the bill. You say they are all dead. Now check verse 39!
