Luke 8:49-56

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴⁹ While He was still speaking, a man from the house of the director of the synagogue came and said [to Jairus], Your daughter is dead; do not ^[a]weary and trouble the Teacher any further.

⁵⁰ But Jesus, on hearing this, answered him, Do not be seized with alarm or struck with fear; simply believe [^[b]in Me as able to do this], and she shall be made well.

⁵¹ And when He came to the house, He permitted no one to enter with Him except Peter and John and James, and the girl’s father and mother.

⁵² And all were weeping for and bewailing her; but He said, Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping.

⁵³ And they laughed Him to scorn, knowing full well that she was dead.

⁵⁴ And grasping her hand, He called, saying, Child, arise [^[c]from the sleep of death]!

⁵⁵ And her spirit returned [^[d]from death], and she arose immediately; and He directed that she should be given something to eat.

⁵⁶ And her parents were amazed, but He charged them to tell no one what had occurred.
