49 While he yet spoke someone came from the ruler of the synagogues house saying: »Your daughter is dead do not trouble the teacher.«

50 When Jesus heard this he said: »Do not fear, only believe and she will be made whole.«

51 When he arrived at the house he allowed only the mother and father of the girl, Peter, John and James to enter with him.

52 They were all weeping and morning her. He said: »Do not weep for she is not dead, but sleeps.«

53 They laughed him to scorn knowing that she was dead.

54 He took her hand and called: »Maiden, arise.«

55 Her life force returned and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given her to eat.

56 Her parents were amazed. He charged them to tell no man what had been done.
