Matthew 9:23 is the parallel account of the same event, describing minstrels and noisy mourners at the ruler's house.

In Matthew 9:24, this same scene unfolds: Jesus tells the mourners to leave because the girl is asleep, and they laugh.

In Luke 8:52, the parallel account notes all were weeping and mourning, then Jesus tells them not to weep.

In Luke 8:53, the mourners laugh at Jesus, knowing she was dead — the same reaction as in Matthew’s account.

Jeremiah 9:17-20 describes professional mourners and wailing, the same practice seen at Jairus's house where people wept and wailed loudly.

In Acts 9:39, widows weep over Dorcas’s body before Peter raises her — a similar scene of mourning preceding resurrection.
