Then Elijah stretched himself out on the boy three times and prayed, "O LORD my God, restore this child to life!"

The LORD answered Elijah's prayer; the child started breathing again and revived.

Then he lay down on the boy, placing his mouth, eyes, and hands on the boy's mouth, eyes, and hands. As he lay stretched out over the boy, the boy's body started to get warm.

Elisha got up, walked around the room, and then went back and again stretched himself over the boy. The boy sneezed seven times and then opened his eyes.

he said, "Get out, everybody! The little girl is not dead---she is only sleeping!" Then they all started making fun of him.

He went in and said to them, "Why all this confusion? Why are you crying? The child is not dead---she is only sleeping!"

When the Lord saw her, his heart was filled with pity for her, and he said to her, "Don't cry."

Jesus said this and then added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I will go and wake him up."

Jesus said to her, "Didn't I tell you that you would see God's glory if you believed?"
