Mark 5:38-40 ▼

38 They came to the house of the synagogue official; and He looked [with understanding] at the uproar and commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing [in mourning].

39 When He had gone in, He said to them, “Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is sleeping.”

40 They began laughing [scornfully] at Him [because they knew the child was dead]. But He made them all go outside, and took along the child’s father and mother and His own [three] companions, and entered the room where the child was.
