Mark 5:35-43

35 While he was still speaking, there came from ¹the ruler's house some who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why ²trouble ³the Teacher any further?"

36 But overhearing^[a] what they said, Jesus said to ⁴the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe."

37 And he allowed no one to follow him except ⁵Peter and James and ⁶John the brother of James.

38 They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus^[b] saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly.

39 And when he had entered, he said to them, ⁷"Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but ⁸sleeping."

40 And they laughed at him. But he ⁹put them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was.

41 ¹⁰Taking her by the hand he said to her, "Talitha cumi," which means, "Little girl, I say to you, ¹¹arise."

42 And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.

43 And ¹²he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
