Mark 5:35-43 ▼

35 While He was yet speaking, they come from the synagogue-ruler's house , saying, "Your daughter died; why do you trouble the Teacher any further?"

36 But Jesus, disregarding the word spoken, saith to the synagogue-ruler, "Fear not, only believe."

37 And He permitted no one to follow with Him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

38 And they come to the house of the synagogue-ruler; and He beholds a tumult, and people weeping and wailing greatly.

39 And, having entered, He saith to them, "Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but she is sleeping."

40 And they were deriding Him. But He, having put them all out, taketh with Him the father of the child, and the mother, and those with Him, and goeth in where the child was.

41 And, having taken hold of the child's hand, He saith to her, "Talitha cumi;" which is, being interpreted, "Damsel, (I say to you), arise."

42 And straight-way the damsel arose, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And straightway they were amazed with great amazement.

43 And He charged them much that no one should know this; and He commanded that something should be given her to eat.
