Because of Jesus, Even Death Has No More Power Over Me!

While Jesus was saying this, a Jewish official came to him, knelt down before him, and said, “My daughter has just died; but come and place your hands on her, and she will live.”

So Jesus got up and followed him, and his disciples went along with him.

When Jesus arrived at the official’s house, he saw the musicians for the funeral and the people all stirred up, and he said, “Get out, everybody! The little girl is not dead—she is only sleeping!”

Then they all started making fun of him. But as soon as the people had been put out, Jesus went into the girl’s room and took hold of her hand, and she got up.

The news about this spread all over that part of the country.

– Mathew 9: 18-26
