Luke 8:52,53 “And all wept, and bewailed her: but He said, 'Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.' And they laughed Him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.”
Isn't it amazing, all the things we “know.” Remember in History class, learning about the era when folks “knew” the world was flat? That was easy. That was because the farthest one could see was the horizon, even with whatever kind of “glass,” a rudimentary telescope, was available.
Still, some folks saw how even at such a short distance, how the surface of the earth curved, and could postulate that continuing that arch, the world MUST be round.
The people involved here had the same situation. They all “knew” that Jesus could heal their loved one, but actually laughed at the idea that she merely “slept.” Had they followed the “curvature” of the situation--the power of Jesus, the fact that He is the Son of God– they would have seen that the girl was sleeping.
