Mark 5:39-43 ▼

39 And entering in, He said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and crying? The child has not died, but is asleep.”

40 And 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 And taking the child by the hand, He said to her, “Talitha kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!”).

42 And immediately the little girl stood 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 some food should be given to her to eat.
