36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid, only believe.”
37 He let no one follow Him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the tumult, and those who wept and wailed loudly.
39 When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this uproar and weep? The girl is not dead, but sleeping.”
40 They laughed at Him in ridicule.But when He had put them all out, He took the father and the mother of the girl and those who were with Him and entered where the girl was lying.
41 He took the girl by the hand and said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”
42 Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were greatly astonished.
