35 While Jesus was still talking, some people came from the rulers house. They said, Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher any more?36 Jesus heard it. He said to the ruler, Do not fear. Only believe.37 Jesus did not let anyone go with him only Peter, James, and his brother John.38 They came to the rulers house. Jesus saw that there was trouble. People were crying and making much noise because the rulers daughter had died.39 When he came into the house, he said to them, Why do you make so much noise and cry? The girl is not dead, but is sleeping.40 They laughed at him. So he sent them all outside. Then he took the girls father and mother and the three disciples into the room where the girl was lying.41 He took her hand and said, Talitha cumi! That means, Little girl, I tell you, get up!42 The girl got up right away and walked around. She was twelve years old. The people were very much surprised.43 Jesus said, Do not tell anyone about this. Give the girl something to eat.
