Luke 8:41, 42, 49, 50, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56

And there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus’ feet, he implored him to come to his house

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As Jesus went, the people pressed around him.

While he was still speaking, someone from the ruler’s house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more.”

But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.”

And all were weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping.”

And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.

But taking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, arise.”

And her spirit returned, and she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to eat.

And her parents were amazed, but he charged them to tell no one what had happened.
