Luke 8:50

Jesus
FearFaith

48 “Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49 While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51 When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

52 Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”
