Luke 8:51-53

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵¹ When they arrived at the house, Jesus would not let everyone go in with him. He took only Peter, John and James. He also let the mother and father of the girl go into the house. ⁵² All the people there were crying loudly because they were very sad. ‘Do not weep,’ Jesus told them. ‘The child is not dead. She is only asleep.’

⁵³ But the people knew that she had died. So they laughed at him.
