New Testament

Luke 8:48-54 New Century Version (NCV)

48. Jesus said to her, “Dear woman, you are made well because you believed. Go in peace.”

49. While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of the synagogue leader and said to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”

50. When Jesus heard this, he said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just believe, and your daughter will be well.”

51. When Jesus went to the house, he let only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s father and mother go inside with him.

52. All the people were crying and feeling sad because the girl was dead, but Jesus said, “Stop crying. She is not dead, only asleep.”

53. The people laughed at Jesus because they knew the girl was dead.

54. But Jesus took hold of her hand and called to her, “My child, stand up!”
