“While He was still speaking to her, messengers arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. They told him, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.”
But Jesus overheard then and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid, Just have faith.”
Then Jesus topped the crowd and wouldn’t let anyone go with Him except Peter, James and John (the brother of James). When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw much commotion and weeping and wailing. He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.”
The crowd laughed at him. But he made them all leave, and He took the girl’s father and mother and His three disciples into the room where the girl was lying. Holding Her hand, he said to herm, “Talitha koum”, which means “Little girlle, get up!” And the girl, was twelve years old, immediately stood up and walked around! They were totally amazed. Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell anyone what had happened, and then He told them to give her something to eat. (vv. 35-43, NLT)
