JMNT(i)
37 Now He did not allow anyone to follow together with Him, except Peter, Jacob (James) and John, the brother of Jacob.
38 So they are proceeding to come into the house (home) of the synagogue official, and He continues gazing upon (watching and contemplating) a confused uproar (a tumultuous commotion) – even many folks continuously weeping (crying; lamenting) and repeatedly screaming (wailing loudly; similar to: making war cries).
39 On entering, He then says to them, "Why are you people being caused to continue with [this] confused uproar (tumultuous commotion) and being caused to constantly weep and lament? The child (or: little girl) did not die away, but to the contrary, she continues fast asleep."
40 And began laughing at Him and kept on ridiculing and scornfully mocking Him. But He, upon putting (or: casting; throwing; = forcing) everyone out, proceeds to take along the father and mother of the little girl – and those with Him (= His companions) – and continues making His way into where the little girl was reclining (lying back).
