Mark 5:35–43

³⁵While^* he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler’s house^* saying, “Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher further?” ³⁶But Jesus, ignoring^o what was said,^p told the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid—only believe!” ³⁷And he did not allow anyone to follow along with him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James. ³⁸And they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue and saw a commotion, and people weeping and wailing loudly. ³⁹And when he^* entered, he said to them, “Why are you agitated and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping.” ⁴⁰And they began laughing^q at him. But he sent them all out and^* took along the father and mother of the child, and those who were with him, and went in to where the child was. ⁴¹And taking hold of the child’s hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”), ⁴²and immediately the girl stood up and began walking around^r (for she was twelve years old). And immediately they were utterly and completely astonished.^{s 43}And he commanded them strictly that no one should learn of this, and said to give her something^* to eat.
