he said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

But when the crowd was put forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the damsel arose.

And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

And taking the child by the hand, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, Arise.

And straightway the damsel rose up, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed straightway with a great amazement.

and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and them that sat at meat with him; and the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.
