This miracle took place in Capernaum. A large crowd had gathered around Jesus.
While Jesus was speaking to the crowd the chief ruler of the synagogue comes hurriedly with the news that his only child, a twelve-year-old daughter, lay ill at the point of death.
Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 5:21-43; Luke 8:40-56.
This man's name was Jairus. He prostrated himself at the feet of Jesus imploring that Jesus would go with him, and lay hands upon her that she might be made whole.
Jesus went with Jairus but they had not gone very far when word was brought of the child's death.
When they reached the house, they found the house filled with hired mourners making a bedlam with much wailing.
Jesus asked them, "What are you making all this noise for? The child did not die but is only sleeping." This was met with scorn and ridicule.
Jesus put everyone out except the father and the mother, and three of His disciples, Peter, James and John. They enter the room where the girl was lying. Jesus takes the girl by the hand and says, "Maiden, arise!"
Immediately her spirit returned into her, and she rose up and walked around. Jesus then commanded them to give the girl food to eat.
RESULTS AND THE LESSON TAUGHT:
The first lesson taught here is the truth that Jesus is the resurrection and the life. He never could have performed this miracle.
Otherwise When Jesus said that the child was sleeping, it shows that to Jesus Christ physical death is but a sleep.
The third lesson taught here is that sometimes we must get away from the crowd and take only two or three that we can depend upon if we want to see the miraculous power of God.
