Abstract

Abstract. This study aimed to re-read the Gospel text Mark 5:21-24, 35-43 from the perspective of a father's responsibility. This perspective emerged from researchers' concerns regarding the widespread phenomenon of fatherlessness in families. The method used in this research is the narrative criticism method. The research result showed that the narrative of Jairus' struggle to find healing for his daughter can be a reflection of a father's responsibility. From the result of this re-reading, it can be concluded that reading a text using a different approach and perspective can produce new meanings that are relevant to contextual needs.Abstrak.
