Luke 8:52

James Moffatt - New Testament

Everyone was weeping and bewailing her, but he said, "Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep."

See the chapter Copy

When Jesus heard it, he said, "This illness is not to end in death; the end of it is the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby."

He was followed by a large multitude of the people and also of women who beat their breasts and lamented him;

'We piped to you and you would not dance, we lamented and you would not beat your breasts.'

When he reached the house he would not allow anyone to come in with him except Peter and James and John, and the child's father and mother.

They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.

And when all the crowds who had collected for the sight saw what had happened, they turned away beating their breasts.
