MARK 5

35 While Jesus was still speaking to that woman, some people arrived who had come from Jairus’ house. They said to Jairus, "Your daughter has now died. So ◄it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer by urging him to go to your house!/why do you bother the teacher any longer by urging him to go to your house?► [RHQ]" 36 But when Jesus heard what these men said, he said to Jairus, "Do not think that the situation is hopeless! Just keep believing that she will live!" 37,38 Then he allowed only his three closest disciples, Peter, James, and John, to go with him to Jairus’ house. He did not allow any other people to go with him. After they arrived near the house, Jesus saw that the people there were in turmoil. They were weeping and wailing [DOU] loudly. 39 He entered the house and then he said to them, knowing that he was going to cause her to live again, "◄Do not make such a disturbance!/Why are you making such a disturbance?► [RHQ] Stop crying, for the child is not dead! On the contrary, she is only sleeping [HYP, EUP]!" 40 The people laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead. But he sent all the other people outside the house. Then he took the child’s father and mother and the three disciples who were with him. He went into the room where the child was lying. 41 He took hold of the child’s hand and said to her in her own language, "Talitha, Koum!" That means, "Little girl, get up!" 42 At once the girl got up and walked around. (It was not surprising that she could walk, because she was twelve years old.) When this happened, all who were present were very astonished. 43 Jesus ordered them strictly, "Do not tell anyone about what I have done!" Afterwards he told them that something to eat should be brought to the girl {that they should bring the girl something to eat}.
