When Jesus came back, a crowd welcomed him. Everyone was expecting Him.
A man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, arrived and quickly bowed down in front of Jesus. He begged Jesus to come to his home. His only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus went, the people were crowding around Him.
Someone came from the synagogue leader’s home. He said, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”
When Jesus heard this, He told the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid! Just believe, and she will get well.” Jesus went into the house. He allowed no one to go with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s parents. Everyone was crying and showing how sad they were. Jesus said, “Don’t cry! She’s not dead. She’s just sleeping.”They laughed at Him because they knew she was dead. But Jesus took her hand and called out, “Child, get up!” She came back to life and got up at once. He ordered her parents to give her something to eat. They were amazed. Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
