38 They
came to the house of the synagogue official; and He saw a
commotion, and [people] loudly weeping and wailing. 39 And
entering in, He said to them, "Why make a commotion and weep?
The child has not died, but is asleep." 40 They [began] laughing
at Him. But putting them all out, He took along the child's
father and mother and His own companions, and entered [the
room] where the child was. 41 Taking the child by the hand,
He said to her, "Talitha kum!" (which translated means, "Little
girl, I say to you, get up!"). 42 Immediately the girl got up and
[began] to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately
they were completely astounded. 43 And He gave them
strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said
that [something] should be given her to eat.
