Context of Luke 8:53
51When Yeshua came into the house, He didn’t let anyone enter with Him except Peter, John, Jacob, and the child’s father and mother. 52And everyone was weeping and lamenting her; but He said, “Don’t weep, for she didn’t die but is sleeping.” But they were ridiculing Him, knowing she had died. 54But Yeshua, took her by the hand and called out, saying, “Child, get up!” 55Her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. Yeshua ordered food to be given to her to eat.
