Matthew 9:24

Matthew 9:24

22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; ^ayour faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

23 ^aWhen Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw ^bthe flute players and the noisy crowd wailing,

24 He said to them, ^a“Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him.

25 But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and ^atook her by the hand, and the girl arose.

26 And the ^areport of this went out into all that land.

Two Blind Men Healed

27 When Jesus departed from there, ^atwo blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, ^b“Son of David, have mercy on us!”

Matthew 9:25 >>

Matthew 9:24 Give place; for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. The reality of the death is not denied, but only the fact implicitly assumed, that death will be followed by a resurrection, as sleep is by an awakening. Laughed him to scorn. The company of mourners was certain that the child was dead and, understanding neither the language nor the power of Jesus, laughed in derision.
