Mark 5:37

JamesJohnSimon

35 While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

36 But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38 When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

39 He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”
