51And when he came to the house, he suffered not any man to enter in with him, save Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the maiden and her mother.
52And all were weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maiden, arise.
55And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately: and he commanded that [something] be given her to eat.
56And her parents were amazed: but he charged them to tell no man what had been done.
