'Girl' in the Bible
When He had gone in, He said to them, “Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is sleeping.”
They began laughing [scornfully] at Him [because they knew the child was dead]. But He made them all go outside, and took along the child’s father and mother and His own [three] companions, and entered the room where the child was.
Then He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).
Immediately the girl got up and began to walk. (She was 12 years old.) At this they were utterly astounded.
When Herodias’s own daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I’ll give it to you.”
Immediately the girl hurried back to the king with her request, "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter."
brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl. Then the girl gave it to her mother.
The servant girl saw him and again told those who were standing around, "This man is one of them!"
