49 While He was still speaking,(A) someone came from the synagogue leader’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t bother(B) the Teacher(C) anymore.”
50 When Jesus heard it, He answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be made well.” 51 After He came to the house, He let no one enter with Him except Peter, John, James,(D) and the child’s father and mother. 52 Everyone was crying(E) and mourning for her.(F) But He said, “Stop crying, for she is not dead but asleep.”(G)
53 They started laughing at Him, because they knew she was dead. 54 So He[a] took her by the hand(H) and called out, “Child, get up!”(I) 55 Her spirit returned,(J) and she got up at once. Then He gave orders that she be given something to eat. 56 Her parents were astounded, but He instructed them to tell no one what had happened.(K)

King James Version
49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
