Mark 5

35 While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the teacher  * 5:35 Mk 4:38; Eph 4:11 anymore? "

36 When Jesus overheard  * 5:36 Or ignored what was said, he told the synagogue leader, "Don’t be afraid.* 5:36 Jn 6:20Only believe."37 He did not let anyone accompany him except Peter,  * 5:37 Lk 6:14 James,  * 5:37 Ac 12:2 and John,  * 5:37 Jn 21:7 James’s brother. 38 They came to the leader’s house, and he saw a commotion — people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, "Why are you making a commotion and weeping?* 5:39 Mt 9:23The child* 5:39 Lk 1:7is not dead but asleep."* 5:39 Mt 9:2440 They laughed at him, but he put them all outside. He took the child’s father,  * 5:40 Col 3:21 mother, and those who were with him, and entered the place where the child was. 41 Then he took the child  * 5:41 Lk 1:7 by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum"  * 5:41 An Aramaic expression (which is translated, "Little girl, I say to you, get up"* 5:41 Mk 1:31; 2:11; 4:27,38; 9:27; 14:41–42). 42 Immediately the girl got up  * 5:42 Mk 9:27 and began to walk.  * 5:42 Mt 11:5 (She was twelve years old.) At this they were utterly astounded.  * 5:42 Mk 16:8; Ac 10:4543 Then he gave them strict orders that no one should know about this  * 5:43 Mk 1:44; Lk 8:56 and told them to give her something to eat.
