Context of Mark 5:42

40And they began making fun of him. But he put them all outside and he took the child’s father and mother and his own companions and went into the room where the child was. 41Then, gently taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.” The girl got up at once and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). They were completely astonished at this. 43He strictly ordered that no one should know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.
