Mark 5:42

Mark 5:42

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.

Rose up, and walked (anesth kai periepatei). Aorist tense (single act) followed by the imperfect (

the walking went on).

For she was twelve years old (hn gar etwn dwdeka). The age mentioned by Mark alone and here as explanation that she was old enough to walk.

Amazed (ecesthsan). We have had this word before in Matthew 12:23 and Mark 2:12, which see. Here the word is repeated in the substantive in the associative instrumental case (ekstasei megalh), with a great ecstasy, especially on the part of the parents (Luke 8:56), and no wonder.
