“But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.”
Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed — the don't be afraid; just believe is the most direct faith-command in the healing narratives. Hearing the death report and giving the don't be afraid command in the same breath communicates Jesus' complete confidence in the face of death. She will be healed: the resurrection is described as healing — the same power that heals the sick will restore the dead.
