³⁶ As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only ^(A)believe.”

³⁷ And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

⁴⁰ And they ridiculed Him. ^(A)But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. ⁴¹ Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” ⁴² Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were ^(B)overcome with great amazement. ⁴³ But ^(C)He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.
