The Raising of Jairus’s Daughter

35

As he is yet speaking, there come from the chief of the synagogue's house, certain , saying--`Thy daughter did die, why still dost thou harass the Teacher?'

36

And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, `Be not afraid, only believe.'

37

And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James;

38

and he cometh to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, much weeping and wailing;

39

and having gone in he saith to them, `Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but doth sleep;

40

and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying,

41

and, having taken the hand of the child, he saith to her, `Talitha cumi;' which is, being interpreted, `Damsel (I say to thee), arise.'

42

And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she was twelve years old ; and they were amazed with a great amazement,

43

and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.
