Mark 5:35–43

³⁵While He was still speaking, they ^*came from the house of the ^asynagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the Teacher anymore?”

³⁶But Jesus, overhearing what had been spoken, ^*said to the ^asynagogue official, “^bDo not be afraid, only ¹believe.”

³⁷And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except ^aPeter and James and John the brother of James.

³⁸And they ^*came to the house of the ^asynagogue official; and He ^*saw a commotion, and people loudly crying and wailing.

³⁹And entering in, He ^*said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and crying? The child has not died, but is asleep.”

⁴⁰And 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.

⁴¹And taking the child by the hand, He ^*said to her, “Talitha kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, ^aI say to you, arise!”).

⁴²And immediately the little girl stood up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astounded.

⁴³And He ^agave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said that some food should be given to her to eat.
