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.
