Mark 5:38-43 ▼

38 They came to the house of the synagogue official; and He saw a commotion, and [people] loudly weeping and wailing.

39 And entering in, He said to them, |Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep.|

40 They [began] laughing at Him. But putting them all out, He took along the child's father and mother and His own companions, and entered [the room] where the child was.

41 Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, |Talitha kum!| (which translated means, |Little girl, I say to you, get up!|).

42 Immediately the girl got up and [began] to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astounded.

43 And He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said that [something] should be given her to eat.
