38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

39 And coming in, he saith to them, Why make ye this ado and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

40 And they laughed him to scorn. But having put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and goeth in where the damsel was lying.

41 And taking the damsel by the hand he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damsel, (I say to thee) arise.

42 And straightway the damsel arose and walked: for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
