Jesus Raises a Dead Girl

Overview

Jairus, a synagogue leader, came to ask Jesus to save his dying daughter. Someone came, your daughter is dead. Jesus arrived at Jairus's house but did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the girl's parents. She is not dead but asleep. Jesus held the girl's hand and said, My child, get up. Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. (Luke 8:41,42,49-55)
