Mark 5:35-39

New International Version - UK

³⁵ While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. ‘Your daughter is dead,’ they said. ‘Why bother the teacher anymore?’

³⁶ Overhearing^[a] what they said, Jesus told him, ‘Don’t be afraid; just believe.’

³⁷ He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. ³⁸ When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. ³⁹ He went in and said to them, ‘Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.’
