34 “Daughter,” He said to her, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be free from your affliction.”
35 While He was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore? ”
36 But when Jesus overheard what was said, He told the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe.”
37 He did not let anyone accompany Him except Peter, James, and John, James’s brother.
38 They came to the leader’s house, and He saw a commotion — people weeping and wailing loudly.
39 He went in and said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.”
40 They started laughing at Him, but He put them all outside. He took the child’s father, mother, and those who were with Him, and entered the place where the child was.
