41. Then he took hold of the girl’s hand and said to her, “Talitha, koum!” (This means, “Little girl, I tell you to stand up!”)
42. The girl stood right up and began walking. (She was 12 years old.) The father and mother and the followers were amazed.
43. Jesus gave the father and mother strict orders not to tell people about this. Then he told them to give the girl some food.
