Matthew 9:25

Death and lossMiracles and God's interventionThe resurrectionParents and children

23 When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

24 “Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.

26 And the news about this spread throughout that region.

27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
