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 10:45
