38 The house of the ruler of the synagogue was filled with commotion. Many were weeping and wailing.
39 He entered and said: »Why all the commotion and why do you weep. The child is not dead but sleeps.«
40 They laughed him to scorn. He sent them all out of the house. Then he took the father, mother and his companions and went to the child.
41 He took the child by the hand and said to her: »Talitha cumi.« Which means when interpreted, »little girl I say to you arise.«
42 Immediately the twelve-year old girl rose up and walked. And they were promptly amazed with a great amazement.
