49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader's home and said, "Your daughter is dead. Stop bothering the teacher anymore."
50 But when Jesus heard this, he told the synagogue leader,"Stop being afraid! Just believe, and she will get well."
51 When he arrived at the house, he allowed no one to go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the child's father and mother.
52 Now everyone was crying and wailing for her. But Jesus said,"Stop crying! She's not dead but is sleeping."
53 They laughed and laughed at him, because they knew she was dead.
54 But he took her hand and called out,"Child, get up!"
55 So her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then he directed that she be given something to eat.
56 Her parents were amazed, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
