A ruler came in and knelt before Him, saying, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” When Jesus came to the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd making a tumult, He said, “Depart; for the girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at Him. But when the crowd had been put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
– Matthew 9:18, 23-25
