49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader's home and told him, |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 man's house, he allowed no one to go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the young girl's father and mother. 52 Now everyone was crying and wailing for her. But Jesus said, |Stop crying! She's not dead. She's sleeping.| 53 They laughed and laughed at him, because they knew she was dead. 54 But he took her hand and called out, |Young lady, get up!| 55 So her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then Jesus directed that she be given something to eat. 56 Her parents were amazed, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened. Luke 8:49-56, Intl. Standard Version.
