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 was being spoken, said to the ^asynagogue official, “^bDo not be afraid any longer, only ¹believe.”

³⁷And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except ^aPeter and ¹James and John the brother of James.

³⁸They came to the house of the ^asynagogue official; and He saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing.

³⁹And entering in, He said to them, “Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep.”

⁴⁰They 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.

⁴¹Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, “Talitha kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, ^aI say to you, get up!”).

⁴²Immediately the girl got 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 something should be given her to eat.
