How the Christ Viewed Death

<p>‘And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.<br> ‘And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.<br> ‘And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.<br> ‘And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.’<br> <em>—Like 8:52–55</em></p>
