23 When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes, 24 he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him. 25 After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. 26 News of this spread through all that region. (Matthew 9:23-26)
Last time we saw that the synagogue leader pleaded with Jesus to raise her daughter from the dead. He must have known that the Lord Jesus performed many miracles, he had great faith in the Lord Jesus, because although the Lord Jesus performed many miracles, he rarely raised people from the dead. Jesus said to the people near the girl, “This girl is not dead, but asleep.” Jesus knows everything. He knows that the girl is dead, but he can resurrect her. So in his eyes, she is like sleeping, just wake her up. From the parallel passage it is known that this girl was twelve years old, and her soul returned, that is, she died, the soul left her body, then the soul returned, that is, she was resurrected. The Lord Jesus resurrected the girl from the dead and told her parents not to tell anyone, but the news still spread throughout the region. May God bless you and your family! 🙏😊
