49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the master.

50 Jesus hearing it answered him, saying, Fear not; believe only, and she shall be made whole.

51 And coming into the house, he suffered none to go in, save Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the maiden.

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

53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

54 And he put them all out, and taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maid, arise.

55 And her spirit returned, and she arose straightway, and he commanded to give her meat.

56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them, to tell no man that which had been done.
