23 When Jesus went into the home of the official and saw the musicians and the crowd of mourners,*9.23 the crowd of mourners: The Jewish people often hired mourners for funerals.24 he said, "Get out of here! The little girl isn’t dead. She is just asleep." Everyone started laughing at Jesus. 25 But after the crowd had been sent out of the house, Jesus went to the girl’s bedside. He took her by the hand and helped her up.
