Mark 5:35-38

35While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”

36Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

37He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.

38When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.
