Context of Luke 8:50
48And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace." 49While he was still speaking, someone from the ruler's house came and said, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more." But Jesus on hearing this answered him, "Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well." 51And when he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father and mother of the child. 52And all were weeping and mourning for her, but he said, "Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping."
