164
Jesus is credited with having raised the daughter of Jairus from the dead. Was she really dead?
Matthew: Jairus said, “My daughter is even now dead” ([ix, 18]).
Mark: He said, “My little daughter lieth at the point of death” ([v, 23]).
Luke: It was reported that “she lay a dying” ([viii, 42]).
According to Matthew, in this miracle he restored the dead to life; according to Mark and Luke, he merely healed the sick.
