New Living Translation (NLT)

Luke 8
⁴⁹ While he was still speaking to her, a messenger arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. He told him, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.”
⁵⁰ But when Jesus heard what had happened, he said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed.”
⁵¹ When they arrived at the house, Jesus wouldn’t let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the little girl’s father and mother.
⁵² The house was filled with people weeping and wailing, but he said, “Stop the weeping! She isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.”
⁵³ But the crowd laughed at him because they all knew she had died.
⁵⁴ Then Jesus took her by the hand and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
⁵⁵ And at that moment her life returned, and she immediately stood up! Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
⁵⁶ Her parents were overwhelmed, but Jesus insisted that they not tell anyone what had happened.
Luke 9
