Used to argue that in biblical idiom someone could be called 'dead' while only asleep or comatose, supporting a non-literal reading of Jesus' predicted death.

Luke 8:49-55
bible
49 While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue's house came, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Don't trouble the Teacher." 50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, "Don't be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed." 51 When he came to the house, he didn't allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother. 52 All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Don't weep. She isn't dead, but sleeping." 53 They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, "Child, arise!" 55 Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
