"The leader of the synagogue" is a metonym for the synagogue leader's house or household. It is most likely that this was a family member or a servant and not some other person 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

# Why trouble the teacher any longer?
