Jesus went to the house. He let only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s father and mother go inside with him.
About eight days after Jesus said these things, he took Peter, John, and James and went up on a mountain to pray.
But he told Peter, James, and John to come with him. He began to be very distressed and troubled,
He will not cry out or shout or try to make himself heard in the streets.
Peter sent all the people out of the room. He knelt down and prayed. Then he turned to Tabitha’s body and said, “Tabitha, stand up!” She opened her eyes. When she saw Peter, she sat up.
Simon (Jesus named him Peter), Andrew, brother of Peter, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
Elisha went into the room and shut the door. He and the child were alone in the room now. Then he prayed to the Lord.
Jesus heard this and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid! Just believe and your daughter will be well.”
Everyone was crying and feeling sad because the girl was dead. But Jesus said, “Don’t cry. She is not dead. She is only sleeping.”
