005:039 He goes in. "Why all this outcry and loud weeping?"
He asks; "the child is asleep, not dead."
005:040 To this their reply is a scornful laugh. He, however, puts them
all out, takes the child's father and mother and those He has
brought with Him, and enters the room where the child lies.
005:041 Then, taking her by the hand, He says to her, "Talitha, koum;"
that is to say, "Little girl, I command you to wake!"
005:042 Instantly the little girl rises to her feet and begins to walk
(for she was twelve years old). They were at once beside
themselves with utter astonishment;
005:043 but He gave strict injunctions that the matter should not be
made known, and directed them to give her something to eat.
006:001 Leaving that place He came into His own country, accompanied
by His disciples.
006:002 On the Sabbath He proceeded to teach in the synagogue; and many,
as they heard Him, were astonished. "Where did he acquire all this?"
they asked. "What is this wisdom that has been given to him?
And what are these marvellous miracles which his hands perform?
006:003 Is not this the carpenter, Mary's son, the brother of James
and Joses, Jude and Simon? And do not his sisters live
here among us?" So they turned angrily away.
006:004 But Jesus said to them, "There is no Prophet without honour
except in his own country, and among his own relatives,
and in his own home."
006:005 And He could not do any miracle there, except that He laid His
hands on a few who were out of health and cured them; and
006:006 He wondered at their unbelief. So He went round the
adjacent villages, teaching.
006:007 Then summoning the Twelve to Him, He proceeded to send them
out by twos, and gave them authority over the foul spirits.
