Mark 5:36-43

36 When Jesus overheard what they said, he told the synagogue leader, "Don't be afraid! Just believe."

37 Jesus allowed no one to go with him except Peter and the two brothers James and John.

38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a noisy crowd there. People were crying and sobbing loudly.

39 When he came into the house, he asked them, "Why are you making so much noise and crying? The child isn't dead. She's just sleeping."

40 They laughed at him. So he made all of them go outside. Then he took the child's father, mother, and his three disciples and went to the child.

41 Jesus took the child's hand and said to her, "Talitha, koum!" which means, "Little girl, I'm telling you to get up!"

42 The girl got up at once and started to walk. (She was twelve years old.) They were astonished.

43 Jesus ordered them not to let anyone know about this. He also told them to give the little girl something to eat.
