"house of Levi-Matthew to meet the publicans at the feast. Here Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, found Him. DA 342.1"
"And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples."
Both passages describe Jesus interacting with publicans and sinners, specifically at a feast in Matthew's house. While not a direct quote, the thematic connection is clear and supports the narrative.
"This elder of the Jews came to Jesus in great distress, and cast himself at His feet, exclaiming, “My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray Thee, come and lay Thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.” DA 342.2"
"While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live."
The EGW passage is a clear retelling of the story found in Matthew 9:18, including direct quotes. While the KJV passage says 'is even now dead' and the EGW passage says 'lieth at the point of death', this is a minor difference and the overall connection is strong.
"Jesus set out at once with the ruler for his home. Though the disciples had seen so many of His works of mercy, they were surprised at His compliance with the entreaty of the haughty rabbi; yet they accompanied their Master, and the people followed, eager and expectant. DA 342.3"
"And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him."
Both passages describe Jesus going with the ruler and being followed by a large crowd. The EGW passage elaborates on the disciples' surprise and the people's eagerness, but the core idea of Jesus being followed is present in both.
"The ruler's house was not far distant, but Jesus and His companions advanced slowly, for the crowd pressed Him on every side. The anxious father was impatient of delay; but Jesus, pitying the people, stopped now and then to relieve some suffering one, or to comfort a troubled heart. DA 342.4"
"And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him."
Both passages describe Jesus being thronged by a crowd while on his way to the ruler's house. The EGW passage adds details about Jesus stopping to help others, but the core idea of the crowd hindering his progress is present in both.
"While they were still on the way, a messenger pressed through the crowd, bearing to Jairus the news that his daughter was dead, and it was useless to trouble the Master further. The word caught the ear of Jesus. “Fear not,” He said; “believe only, and she shall be made whole.” DA 342.5"
"As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe."
The EGW passage directly quotes and references the core message of Mark 5:36, making it a clear and explicit allusion.
"But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole."
The EGW passage directly quotes and references the core message of Luke 8:50, making it a clear and explicit allusion.
