He said to them, “Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping.”
– Mark 5:39-43
And they laughed at Him.
But He put them all outside, and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with Him, and went in where the child was. Taking her by the hand, He said to her, “Tal′itha cu′mi”; which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”
And immediately the girl got up and walked; for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were overcome with amazement. And He strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
