Context of Luke 8:53

51And when he came to the house he suffered no one to go in but Peter and John and James and the father of the child and the mother. 52And all were weeping and lamenting her. But he said, Do not weep, for she has not died, but sleeps. And they derided him, knowing that she had died. 54But he, having turned them all out and taking hold of her hand, cried saying, Child, arise. 55And her spirit returned, and immediately she rose up; and he commanded [something] to eat to be given to her.
