36 But ignoring what they said, Yeshua tells the synagogue leader, “Do not be afraid; only believe.”
37 He did not let anyone follow Him except Peter, Jacob, and John, the brother of Jacob.
38 They come to the house of the synagogue leader. He sees a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly.
39 After entering, He said to them, “Why make such a fuss and weep? The child didn’t die, but is sleeping.”
40 They start jeering at Him. But after sending all of them out, He takes the child’s father and mother, and those with Him, and enters where the child was.
41 Then, taking hold of the child’s hand, He tells her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.”
42 Immediately, the girl stood up and began to walk around! (She was twelve years old.) And they were overcome with astonishment.
