38 When they arrived at the synagogue leader's house, Jesus saw all the commotion, with people crying and wailing.39 He went in and asked them, “Why are you making such a commotion with all this crying? The little girl isn't dead, she's just sleeping.”40 They laughed scornfully at him.

Jesus made everyone leave. Then he went into the room where the little girl was lying, taking with him the child's father and mother, and the three disciples. 41 Taking the little girl's hand he said, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, get up!”

42 The little girl, who was twelve years old, got up immediately and began walking around. They were completely astonished at what had happened.43 He gave them strict instructions not to let anyone know, and he told them to give the little girl something to eat.
