5:35-43
While he was still speaking
some people came from the synagogue to its chief saying. “Your daughter has died. Why do you trouble the teacher.” But Jesus overheard what was being
said. He said to the synagogue
chief. “Do not fear, only
believe.” And he did not allow anyone
to accompany himself except for Peter and James and John, the brother of
James. They came into the house of the synagogue
chief and he (Jesus) saw an uproar.
There were men weeping and crying aloud. And entering in he said to them. “Why do you make such an uproar and
weep. The child did not die but is
asleep.” They laughed at him. But he put everyone out. Then he took the father and the mother of
the child as also the disciples with him and went in to where the child was
lying. And taking hold of the
child’s hand he says to her.
“Talitha koum”, which is understood to mean “Maid, I say to you, arise.”
And immediately the girl got up and walked. She was twelve years of age. And the people around were greatly
astonished. And He ordered them that
nobody should know about this. Then
he told them to give her something to eat.

7:24-30 Rising
up from there he went away into the district
of Tyre. And entering into a house he did not want people
to know to know he was there. But
this could not be hidden.
Immediately a woman who had heard about him, and whose daughter had an unclean spirit
came and fell at his feet. The woman
was a Greek, a Syrophenician by race.
She asked him if he would expel the demon out of her daugther. And he said to her. “Let the children be satisfied
first. It is not good to take the
bread of the children and to throw it to the dogs.” But she answered and said to him. “Yes Lord. And yet the dogs under the table eat from
the crumbs of the children.” And he
said to her. “Because of your saying
this, go. The demon has gone out of
your daughter.” And going way to her
house she found that her child had been laid out on the couch and the demon
had gone.
