In context
36 But Jesus, overhearing the message spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, only believe."
37 He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, Jacob, and John the brother of Jacob.
38 And they came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
39 When he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.
40 And they ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha koum!" which means, being interpreted, "Girl, I tell you, get up!"
42 And immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.
