Mark 5:35-43 ▼

35 While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, |Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?|

36 But Jesus, overhearing the message spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue, |Do not be afraid, only believe.|

37 And he allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38 And they came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.

39 And when he had entered in, he said to them, |Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.

40 And they ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

41 And taking the child by the hand, he said to her, |Talitha koum,| which translated means, |Little girl, I tell you, get up.|

42 And immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were overcome with amazement.

43 And he strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
