Context of Luke 8:54

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. So 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.
