Matthew 9:23-26

Easy-to-Read Version

²³ Jesus continued going with the Jewish leader and went into the leader’s house. He saw people there who make music for funerals. And he saw a crowd of people crying loudly. ²⁴ Jesus said, “Go away. The girl is not dead. She is only sleeping.” But the people laughed at him. ²⁵ After the people were put out of the house, Jesus went into the girl’s room. He held the girl’s hand, and the girl stood up. ²⁶ The news about this spread all around the area.
