Whileheyetspake, there camefrom the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said*, Thydaughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
36
As soon asJesus*heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue,Benotafraid, onlybelieve.
37
And he suffered* no man to followhim,savePeter,andJames,andJohn the brother of James.
38
And he comethto the house of the ruler of the synagogue,andseeth the tumult, and them that weptandwailedgreatly.
39
And when he was come in, he saith unto them,Why make ye this ado, andweep? the damselisnotdead, butsleepeth.
40
And they laughedhim to scorn. But when he had put them allout, he taketh the fatherand the mother of the damsel,and them that were withhim,and entereth inwhere the damselwaslying.
41
And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her,Talithacumi;whichis, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee,arise.
42
Andstraightway the damselarose, andwalked; for she was of the age of twelveyears.And they were astonished with a greatastonishment.
