  2. Explication du texte

Why did the crowd laugh at Jesus when he said that the girl is not dead but sleeping?

Matthieu 9:23–24 (NEG79)

23 Lorsque Jésus fut arrivé à la maison du chef, et qu'il vit les joueurs de flûte et la foule bruyante,

The laughter of the crowd was the result of unbelief.1 The mourning crowd laughs at Jesus when he said that the girl was sleeping, for they knew that she had died and they did not believe that he would be able to wake her.2
