Luke 8:49-56

49While He was still speaking, someone from the synagogue official’s house came and said [to Jairus], “Your daughter is dead; do not inconvenience the Teacher any further.”

50But Jesus, hearing this, answered him, “Do not be afraid any longer; only believe and trust [in Me and have faith in My ability to do this], and she will be made well.”

51When He came to the house, He allowed no one to enter with Him, except Peter and John and James, and the girl’s father and mother.

52Now they were all weeping loudly and mourning for her; but He said, “Do not weep, for she is not dead, but is sleeping.”

53Then they began laughing scornfully at Him and ridiculing Him, knowing [without any doubt] that she was dead.

54But Jesus took hold of her hand and spoke, saying, “Child, arise!”

55And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately; and He ordered that she be given something to eat.

56Her parents were greatly astonished [by the miracle]; but He instructed them to tell no one what had happened.
