Mark 5:35–43

³⁵While he was still speaking, there came from ^qthe ruler’s house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why ^rtrouble ^sthe Teacher any further?” ³⁶But overhearing⁵ what they said, Jesus said to ^qthe ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” ³⁷And he allowed no one to follow him except ^tPeter and James and ^uJohn the brother of James. ³⁸They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus⁶ saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. ³⁹And when he had entered, he said to them, ^v“Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but ^wsleeping.” ⁴⁰And they laughed at him. But he ^xput them all outside and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. ^41yTaking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, ^zarise.” ⁴²And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. ⁴³And ^ahe strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
