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.
43 He strictly ordered them to let no one know of it and directed them to give her something to eat.
