49While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader, saying, “Your daughter has died; do not trouble the teacher any longer.”

50But Jesus, hearing this, answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be saved.”

51When he came into the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him except Peter and John and James, and the girl's father and mother.

52And they were all weeping and mourning for her. But he said, “Do not weep, for she has not died, but is sleeping.”

53And they were laughing at him, because they knew that she had died.

54But he took her by the hand and called out, saying, “Child, arise.”

55And her spirit returned, and she rose immediately, and he directed that food be given to her.

56And her parents were astonished, but he instructed them to tell no one what had happened.
