King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
35
While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue,Be not afraid, only believe.
36
Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”
37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
37
He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.
38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
38
When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.
39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them,Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
39
He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.”
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
40
But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her,Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted,Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
41
He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).
42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
42
Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
43
He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.
