35 While He was still speaking, they came from the synagogue leader, saying, "Your daughter [has] died. Why do you still trouble the Teacher?"36 But Jesus, immediately when He heard the word being spoken, said to the synagogue leader, "Do not be afraid; only believe."37 And He did not permit anyone to follow along with Him except for Peter, James, and John the brother of James.38 And He went to the house of the synagogue leader, and observed a commotion, and [people] weeping and wailing, very much.39 And when He went in, He said to them, "Why are you making such commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but she is asleep."40 And they were ridiculing Him. But putting them all out, He took along the father and the mother of the child, and those with Him, and He went in where the child was lying.41 And having grasped the hand of the child, He said to her, "Talitha, koumi,"which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."42 And immediately the little girl arose and was walking about, for she was twelve years old. And they were overcome with great amazement.43 But He ordered them strictly that no one should know this, and said that something should be given her to eat.
