Lukas 8:52

8:52 Now they were all ¹  wailing and mourning ²  for her, but he said, “Stop your weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

Lukas 8:55

8:55 Her ³  spirit returned, ⁴  and she got up immediately. Then ⁵  he told them to give her something to eat.

[8:52]  ¹ sn This group probably includes outside or even professional mourners, not just family, because a large group seems to be present.

[8:52]  ² tn Grk “beating the breasts” (in mourning); see L&N 52.1.

[8:55]  ³ tn Grk “And her.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[8:55]  ⁴ sn In other words, she came back to life; see Acts 20:10.

[8:55]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
