24 Jesus said, “Go away. The girl is not dead, only asleep.” But the people laughed at him.
25 After the crowd had been thrown out of the house, Jesus went into the girl’s room and took hold of her hand, and she stood up.
26 The news about this spread all around the area.
27 When Jesus was leaving there, two blind men followed him. They cried out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
28 After Jesus went inside, the blind men went with him. He asked the men, “Do you believe that I can make you see again?”They answered, “Yes, Lord.”
29 Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, “Because you believe I can make you see again, it will happen.”
30 Then the men were able to see. But Jesus warned them strongly, saying, “Don’t tell anyone about this.”
