They were all so amazed that they asked among themselves, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
They were struck with awe and said to one another, “Who is this? Even the wind and the sea obey Him!”
Then, taking hold of the child’s hand, He tells her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.”
But He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said something to eat should be given to her.
Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped. They were utterly dumbfounded,
People were completely astounded, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
