³⁶ Overhearing^[a] what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

⁴¹ He took her by the hand^(A) and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).^(B)

⁴² Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
