49While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”
50But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.
52Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”
53And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.
54But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”
55Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.
56Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
