My daughter had just died. I knelt in front of him and asked him to come and put his hand on her, so she’d live. He got up and came.

Just put your hand on her.
I lead the synagogue in our town. My daughter had just died when I went to find Jesus. Matthew doesn’t give my name; Mark and Luke do.

My little girl is dying. I fell at his feet and begged. He’s coming with me.
They came to tell me she’d died. Don’t bother the teacher. He said to me, “Don’t be afraid. Just believe.”

When we got to the house he told the mourners she was only asleep. They laughed at him.

Then he took her hand. “Talitha koum.” Little girl, get up. She got up and walked round the room. She’s twelve. He told us to give her something to eat.
