Mark 5:35-41

New English Translation

³⁵ While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s^[a] house saying, “Your daughter has died. Why trouble the teacher any longer?” ³⁶ But Jesus, paying no attention to what was said, told the synagogue leader, “Do not be afraid; just believe.” ³⁷ He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James,^[b] and John, the brother of James. ³⁸ They came to the house of the synagogue leader where^[c] he saw noisy confusion and people weeping and wailing loudly.^{[d] 39} When he entered he said to them, “Why are you distressed and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep!” ⁴⁰ And they began making fun of him.^[e] But he forced them all outside,^[f] and he took the child’s father and mother and his own companions^[g] and went into the room where the child was.^{[h] 41} Then, gently taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.”
