Luke 8:49-56

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴⁹ As he was yet speaking, there cometh one to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: Thy daughter is dead, trouble him not.

⁵⁰ And Jesus hearing this word, answered the father of the maid: Fear not; believe only, and she shall be safe.

⁵¹ And when he was come to the house, he suffered not any man to go in with him, but Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the maiden.

⁵² And all wept and mourned for her. But he said: Weep not; the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.

⁵³ And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴ But he taking her by the hand, cried out, saying: Maid, arise.

⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And he bid them give her to eat.

⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished, whom he charged to tell no man what was done.
