Context of Mark 5:37

35While Yeshua was still speaking, messengers come from the house of the synagogue leader, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why do you still trouble the Teacher?” 36But ignoring what they said, Yeshua tells the synagogue leader, “Do not be afraid; only believe.” He did not let anyone follow Him except Peter, Jacob, and John, the brother of Jacob. 38They come to the house of the synagogue leader. He sees a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39After entering, He said to them, “Why make such a fuss and weep? The child didn’t die, but is sleeping.”
