49 While he was yet speaking, one came from the house of the director of the synagogue, who said, your daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.

50 Jesus, hearing this, said to Jairus, Fear not; only believe, and she shall be well.

51 Being come to the house, he allowed no person to enter with him, except Peter, and John, and James, and the maid's father and mother.

52 And all wept, and lamented her. But he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but asleep.

53 And they derided him, knowing that she was dead.

54 But he, having made them all retire, took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maiden, arise.

55 And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately, and he commanded to give her food.

56 And her parents were astonished, but he charged them not to mention to any person what had happened.
