fell down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her:

"Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of
thy plague."

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 he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John
the brother of James. And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the
synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
And when he was come in, he saith unto them:

"Why make ye this ado, and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth."

And they laughed him to scorn. 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 entereth 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."
