34 Jesus told her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace! Be cured from your illness.”
35 While Jesus was still speaking to her, some people came from the synagogue leader’s home. They told the synagogue leader, “Your daughter has died. Why bother the teacher anymore?”
36 When Jesus overheard what they said, he told the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid! Just believe.”
37 Jesus allowed no one to go with him except Peter and the two brothers James and John.
38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a noisy crowd there. People were crying and sobbing loudly.
39 When he came into the house, he asked them, “Why are you making so much noise and crying? The child isn’t dead. She’s just sleeping.”
40 They laughed at him. So he made all of them go outside. Then he took the child’s father, mother, and his three disciples and went to the child.
