005:038 He came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar,
weeping, and great wailing.
005:039 When he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make
an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."
005:040 They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out,
took the father of the child and her mother and those who were
with him, and went in where the child was lying.
005:041 Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha cumi;"
which means, being interpreted, "Girl, I tell you, get up."
005:042 Immediately the girl rose up, and walked, for she was twelve
years old. They were amazed with great amazement.
005:043 He strictly ordered them that no one should know this,
and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
006:001 He went out from there. He came into his own country,
and his disciples followed him.
006:002 When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue,
and many hearing him were astonished, saying, "Where did this
man get these things?" and, "What is the wisdom that is given
to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?
006:003 Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of
James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?"
They were offended at him.
006:004 Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor,
except in his own country, and among his own relatives,
and in his own house."
006:005 He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands
on a few sick people, and healed them.
006:006 He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around
the villages teaching.
006:007 He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two
by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
006:008 He charged them that they should take nothing for their journey,
except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,
006:009 but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.
006:010 He said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there
until you depart from there.
006:011 Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart
from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet
for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you,
it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day
of judgment than for that city!"
006:012 They went out and preached that people should repent.
006:013 They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick,
and healed them.
006:014 King Herod heard this, for his name had become known,
and he said, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead,
and therefore these powers are at work in him."
006:015 But others said, "It is Elijah." Others said, "It is the Prophet,
or like one of the prophets."
