Context of Mark 5:42

40The people laughed at Jesus when he said that. Then Jesus sent them all out of the house. He went into the place where the child was lying. The child's father and mother went with him. He also took Peter, James and John with him. 41Then Jesus held the girl's hand. He said to her, ‘Talitha koum.’ This means, ‘Little girl, I say to you, stand up!’ The girl stood up immediately and she walked about. She was 12 years old. The people there were very surprised. 43Jesus said to them, ‘You must not tell anyone what has happened here. Now give the girl something to eat.’
