Mark 5:38-43

38 They came to the house of the ¹synagogue official; and He saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing.

39 And entering in, He said to them, "Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep."

40 They began laughing at Him. But putting them all out, He took along the child's father and mother and His own companions *, and entered the room where the child was.

41 Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, "Talitha kum!" (which translated means, "Little girl, ²I say to you, get up!").

42 Immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely * astounded.

43 And He ³gave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said that something should be given her to eat.
