Context of Mark 5:37

35While Jesus was still speaking, some men arrived from the house of Jairus. He was the leader at the Jews' meeting place. The men said to Jairus, ‘Your daughter is dead. Do not ask any longer for the teacher to come.’ 36Jesus heard what the men said to Jairus. But Jesus said to him, ‘Do not be afraid. Instead, believe.’ Jesus took only Peter, James and James's brother, John, with him. He would not let anyone else go with him. 38Then they came to Jairus's house. Jesus saw that there were many people there. They were crying and they were making a loud noise. 39Jesus went into the house and he said to the people, ‘You should not be weeping and making a noise. The child is not dead. She is asleep.’
