And when he had come in, he saith to them, Why make ye this tumult, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

And they derided him: 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 to her, Talitha cumi: which is, being interpreted, Damsel (I say to thee) arise.

And forthwith the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod, and them that sat with him, the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

And brought his head in a dish, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.
