Living_Oracles(i)
35 Before he had done speaking, messengers came from the house of the director of the synagogue, who said, Your daughter is dead, why should you trouble the teacher any further?
36 Jesus hearing this message delivered, said immediately to the director, Fear not; only believe.
37 And he allowed no person to follow him except Peter and James, and John, the brother of James.
38 Being arrived at the director's house, and seeing the tumult, and the people weeping and wailing immoderately,
39 he said to them, as he entered, Why do you weep and make a bustle? The child is not dead, but asleep.
40 And they derided him. But having made them all go out, he took with him the child's father and mother, and those who came with him; and he entered the chamber where she was;
41 and, taking her by the hand, said to her, Talitha cumi, (which signified, Young woman, arise,) I command you.
42 Immediately the maid arose and walked, for she was twelve years old; and they were confounded with astonishment.
43 But he strictly enjoined them not to mention it to any person, and ordered that something should be given her to eat.
