Context of Luke 8:54

52All the people there were crying loudly because they were very sad. ‘Do not weep,’ Jesus told them. ‘The child is not dead. She is only asleep.’ 53But the people knew that she had died. So they laughed at him. But Jesus went and held the child's hand. He said to her, ‘My child, get up.’ 55Then she became alive again. Immediately she stood up. Jesus said to her parents, ‘Give her something to eat.’ 56They were very surprised. Jesus said to them very strongly, ‘You must not tell anyone about what has happened.’
