Miracles and God's interventionThe resurrectionJesus Christ

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

53 And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55 Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56 Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
