35. While Jesus was saying this, some messengers came from Jairus' house and told him, “Your daughter has died. Why bother the Teacher any longer?”
36. Jesus paid no attention to what they said, but told him, “Don't be afraid, only believe.”
37. Then he did not let anyone else go on with him except Peter and James and his brother John.
38. They arrived at Jairus' house, where Jesus saw the confusion and heard all the loud crying and wailing.
39. He went in and said to them, “Why all this confusion? Why are you crying? The child is not dead — she is only sleeping!”
