- While He was still speaking, they came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, "Your daughter has died; why trouble the Teacher anymore?"
- But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, said to the synagogue official, "Do not be afraid any longer, only believe."
- And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except Peter and James and John the brother of James.
- They came to the house of the synagogue official; and He saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing.
- And entering in, He said to them, "Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep."
|
- 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.
- Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, "Talitha kum!" (which translated means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!").
- Immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astounded.
- And He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said that something should be given her to eat.
