Context of Luke 8:50
48“Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith has saved you. Go in peace.” 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.” When 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.”
