Mark 5:41 - Adam Clarke

Mark 5:41

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.”

42 Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were ^aovercome with great amazement.

43 But ^aHe commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.

Mark 5:41

Talitha cumi - , This is mere Syriac, the proper translation of which the evangelist has given. The Codex Bezae has a very odd and unaccountable reading here, ̔. , My master. Damsel arise. Suidas quotes this place under the word thus . is the reading of several ancient MSS., but it is certainly a faulty one.
