They laughed at him, knowing that she
was dead. But he took her by the hand and said, "My child, get up!"

Jairus, the father of the dying child, walked beside Jesus in
great trouble, for he feared that his child would die before Jesus could come to
his house. And at that moment some one came to him and said, "It is too late;
your daughter is dead; you need not trouble the Master any more."
But Jesus said to him, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will yet be
saved to you."
Soon they came to the house where Jairus lived; and they could hear the people
weeping and crying aloud. Jesus said to them, "Why do you make such a noise? The
little girl is not dead, but only asleep." Jesus meant by this that we need not
be filled with sorrow when our friends die, for death is only a sleep for a time
until God shall awake them. But they did not understand this; and they would not
be comforted, for they knew that the child was dead.
Jesus would not allow any of the crowd of people to go into the room where the
dead child was. He took with him three of his disciples, Peter, James, and John,
and the father and mother of the child, and shut out all the rest of the people.
On a couch was lying the dead body of a girl, twelve years old. Taking the hand
of the child into his own, he said to her, "Little girl, rise up!"
And the life of the little girl came again. She opened her eyes, and sat up.
Jesus told them to give her something to eat; and he said to them, "Do not tell
any one how the little girl was brought to life."
Already the crowds following him were so great that he could not teach the
people in the city; and if it became known that he could raise the dead to life,
the throng and the press of the multitudes would be greater. His great work was
to teach and to bring life to the souls of men, rather than to heal, or to raise
the dead.
And he went out once more among the villages of Galilee, teaching in the
synagogues, and healing the sick people who were brought to him. He pitied the
people, because there was no one to give them the gospel; and they were like
sheep wandering and lost without a shepherd. He said to his disciples, "The
harvest truly is great, but the workers to gather the harvest are few. Pray to
the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out reapers into these harvest
fields."
And after this Jesus sent out his twelve disciples to different places to preach
in his name to the people. He sent them forth in pairs, two of them together, so
that they could help each other. And he gave them power to heal the sick, and to
cast out evil spirits from men. He said to them:
"Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel; and as you go, preach, saying,
'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the
dead, cast out the evil spirits; freely you have received, freely give. Do not
take any money with you; but at every place ask for some good man, and stay at
his house.
"And if any people will not listen to your words, when you go out of that house
or out of that city, shake off the dust from your sandals, as a sign; and God
will judge that house or that city.
"He that hears you, hears me; and he that hears me, hears him who sent me. And
if any one will give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water
only in the name of a disciple, he shall not lose his reward."
The twelve disciples went out in pairs, as Jesus had commanded them, and
preached in all the cities of Galilee, that men should cease from their sins and
turn to God.
