And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.

And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.

And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.

Luke 8:54

8:54 Maid, arise. This is the second recorded instance of Jesus—who is Himself “the life” (John 14:6)—restoring life to one who had died. The first was the son of the widow of Nain (Luke 7:11-15), the second was the daughter of Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue (Luke 8:41-55), the third was Lazarus, the brother of Mary and Martha (John 11:1-44).
