Mark 5:37-43

37 And he allowed no one to follow him except ¹Peter and James and ²John the brother of James.

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

39 And when he had entered, he said to them, ³"Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but ⁴sleeping."

40 And they laughed at him. But he ⁵put 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 ⁶Taking her by the hand he said to her, "Talitha cumi," which means, "Little girl, I say to you, ⁷arise."

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 ⁸he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
