23 When Jesus went into the home of the official and saw the musicians and the crowd of mourners,
24 he said, “Get out of here! The little girl isn't dead. She is just asleep.” Everyone started laughing at Jesus.
25 But after the crowd had been sent out of the house, Jesus went to the girl's bedside. He took her by the hand and helped her up.
26 News about this spread all over that part of the country.
27 As Jesus was leaving that place, two blind men began following him and shouting, “Son of David, have pity on us!”
28 After Jesus had gone indoors, the two blind men came up to him. He asked them, “Do you believe I can make you well?”“Yes, Lord,” they answered.
29 Jesus touched their eyes and said, “Because of your faith, you will be healed.”
