“Girl, I tell you: Get up” (Mc 5, 21-24.35b-43 Short form)

At that time, Jesus having passed again by boat to the other shore, a large crowd gathered around him and he was along the sea. And one of the leaders of the synagogue, named Jairus, came and, when he saw him, threw himself at his feet and begged him with insistence: “My little daughter is dying: come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be saved and alive.” She went with him. A large crowd followed him and huddled around him.
From the house of the synagogue leader they came and said, “Your daughter is dead. Why do you still disturb the Master? ». But Jesus, hearing what they were saying, said to the ruler of the synagogue: “Do not be afraid, only have faith!” And he did not allow anyone to follow him, except Peter, James and John, brother of James.
They came to the house of the synagogue leader and he saw bustle and people crying and screaming loudly. When he entered, he said to them, “Why are you agitated and weeping?” The child is not dead, but she is asleep. ‘ And they mocked him. But he kicked them all out and took with him the father and mother of the child and those who were with him and went into where the child was. He took the girl’s hand and said to her: “Talità kum”, which means: “Girl, I tell you: get up!” And immediately the girl got up and walked; she was in fact twelve years old. They were amazed. And she insistently advised them that no one would find out and told them to feed her.
