Jesus took the child’s hand and said to her, “Talitha, koum!” which means, “Little girl, I’m telling you to get up!”
Then God said, “Let there be light!” So there was light.
He spoke, and it came into being. He gave the order, and there it stood.
Jesus went to her, took her hand, and helped her get up. The fever went away, and she prepared a meal for them.
Jesus felt sorry for him, reached out, touched him, and said, “I’m willing. So be clean!”
They 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.
The girl got up at once and started to walk. (She was twelve years old.) They were astonished.
as Scripture says: “I have made you a father of many nations.” Abraham believed when he stood in the presence of the God who gives life to dead people and calls into existence things that don’t even exist.
Through his power to bring everything under his authority, he will change our humble bodies and make them like his glorified body.
