And the woman was made whole from that hour.
While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue,
Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be made whole.
And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. And when Jesus came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, and them that wept and wailed greatly, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. And all wept, and bewailed her. And when he was come in, he saith unto them,
Why make ye this ado, and weep? Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the Father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entered in where the damsel was lying. And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her,
Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, Arise.
And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway, and walked: for she was of the age of twelve years. And her parents were astonished with a great astonishment. And he charged them straitly that no man should know it: and commanded that something should be given her to eat. And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them,
Believe ye that I am able to do this?
