- While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher any more?"
- Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid; just believe."
- He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.
- When they came to the home of the synagogue ruler, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.
- He went in and said to them, "Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep."

- 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."

- But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.
- He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!" ).
- Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
- He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.

- 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.
