Luke 8:49-56

49While he was still speaking to her, a messenger arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. He told him, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.”

50But when Jesus heard what had happened, he said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed.”

51When they arrived at the house, Jesus wouldn’t let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the little girl’s father and mother.

52The house was filled with people weeping and wailing, but he said, “Stop the weeping! She isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.”

53But the crowd laughed at him because they all knew she had died.

54Then Jesus took her by the hand and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”

55And at that moment her life returned, and she immediately stood up! Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat.

56Her parents were overwhelmed, but Jesus insisted that they not tell anyone what had happened.
