The Bible story
Jesus Raises Jairus’ Daughter
Jairus, a leader of the synagogue, begged Jesus to come and heal his little daughter, but on the way they heard she had died. Jesus told him not to be afraid, only believe, then took the girl by the hand and told her to get up. She stood up at once and walked around, and her parents were astonished.
Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
