23 When, now, he came into the ruler’s house and caught sight of the flute players and the crowd making a commotion,+ 24 Jesus said: “Leave the place, for the little girl did not die but is sleeping.”+ At this they began to laugh at him scornfully. 25 As soon as the crowd had been sent outside, he went in and took hold of her hand,+ and the little girl got up.+ 26 Of course, the talk about this spread into all that region.

38 So they came to the house of the presiding officer of the synagogue, and he saw the commotion and those weeping and wailing loudly.+ 39 After stepping in, he said to them: “Why are you weeping and causing this commotion? The child has not died but is sleeping.”+ 40 At this they began to laugh at him scornfully. But after sending them all outside, he took the child’s father and mother and those with him, and he went in where the child was. 41 Then, taking the hand of the child, he said to her: “Talʹi·tha cuʹmi,” which, when translated, means: “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”+ 42 And immediately the girl rose and began walking. (She was 12 years old.) And at once they were beside themselves with great ecstasy. 43 But he ordered them again and again* to let no one learn of this,+ and he said that something should be given her to eat.

11 After he said these things, he added: “Lazʹa·rus our friend has fallen asleep,+ but I am traveling there to awaken him.”

60 Then, kneeling down, he cried out with a strong voice: “Jehovah,* do not charge this sin against them.”+ And after saying this, he fell asleep in death.

36 David, on the one hand, rendered service to God* in his own generation, fell asleep in death, was laid with his forefathers, and did see corruption.+
