and brought his head upon a dish, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.

upon which they fell a laughing: however, having turned them all out, and taking with him the father and the mother of the damsel, and those that had accompany'd him, he entred 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.

And a damsel saw him, and again began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

And immediately the damsel arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with great astonishment.

and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with him at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee.

at his going in he said to them, what's the meaning of this uproar, what do you weep for? the damsel is not dead, but asleep.
