39 "Why all this tumult and loud weeping?" he asked.

40 "The child is not dead, but asleep." And they began to laugh him to scorn. Then he put them all outside, took the father and mother of the child and those he brought with him, and entered the room where the child was lying.

41 Then he took the childs hand and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," that is to say, "Little girl, I am speaking to you; arise!"

42 And instantly the little girl stood up, and began to walk, for she was twelve years old, They were at once beside themselves with utter amazement.
