Context of Mark 5:42

40They laughed at him. So he made all of them go outside. Then he took the child’s father, mother, and his three disciples and went to the child. 41Jesus took the child’s hand and said to her, “Talitha, koum!” which means, “Little girl, I’m telling you to get up!” The girl got up at once and started to walk.
