 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, have faith, believe. And he allowed no man to follow him, save Peter, James, and John. They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. And when they were come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn."
