39 When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but asleeping.”  
40 And they ridiculed Him. aBut when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying.  
41 Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”
