39. And when he entered, he said to them, “Why are you agitated and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping.”
40. And they began laughing at him. But he sent them all out and took along the father and mother of the child, and those who were with him, and went in to where the child was.
41. And taking hold of the child’s hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”),

43. And he commanded them strictly that no one should learn of this, and said to give her something to eat.
