Context of Luke 8:54

52Now they were all wailing and mourning for her, but he said, “Stop your weeping; she is not dead but asleep.” 53And they began making fun of him, because they knew that she was dead. But Jesus gently took her by the hand and said, “Child, get up.” 55Her spirit returned, and she got up immediately. Then he told them to give her something to eat. 56Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
