Luke 8:49-56

49While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”

50When Jesus heard it, he answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be saved.”

51After he came to the house, he let no one enter with him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

52Everyone was crying and mourning for her. But he said, “Stop crying, because she is not dead but asleep.”

53They laughed at him, because they knew she was dead.

54So he took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then he gave orders that she be given something to eat.

56Her parents were astounded, but he instructed them to tell no one what had happened.
