Luke 8:55

Miracles and God's intervention

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

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

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.
