Why Luke 7:6trouble See John 11:28the Teacher any further?" 36 But overhearing5:36 Or ignoring; some manuscripts hearing what they said, Jesus said to [See ver. 35above]the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe."37 And he allowed no one to follow him except ch. 9:2;14:33Peter and James and ch. 3:17John the brother of James. 38 They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus5:38 Greek he saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 And when he had entered, he said to them, [Acts 20:10] "Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but John 11:4,11sleeping."40 And they laughed at him. But he Acts 9:40put them all outside and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. 41 See ch. 1:31Taking her by the hand he said to her, "Talitha cumi," which means, "Little girl, I say to you, Luke 7:14,22;[Matt. 11:5;John 11:43]arise."42 And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. 43 And ch. 9:9;See Matt. 8:4he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
