NgokukaMarku 5:35-42

Esakhuluma, kwafika abomphathi wesinagoge,* bathi: “Indodakazi yakho isifile; usamkhathazelani uMfundisi na?” Kwathi ukuba uJesu ezwile izwi elishiwoyo, wathi kumphathi wesinagoge*: “Ungesabi, kholwa kuphela.” Akavumelanga muntu amlandele, kuphela oPetru, noJakobe, noJohane umfowabo kaJakobe. Bafika-ke endlini yomphathi wesinagoge,* wabona isiyaluyalu nabakhalayo nabalila kakhulu. Wangena, wathi kubo: “Niyaluzelani, nikhalelani na? Umntwana akafile, kodwa ulele.” Bamhleka usulu. Kepha yena wabakhipha bonke, wathatha uyise womntwana nonina kanye nababe naye, wangena lapho kulele khona umntwana. Wabamba umntwana ngesandla, wathi kuye: “Thalitha, kumi,” okungukuthi ngokuhunyushwa: “Ntombazana, ngithi kuwe, vuka!” Yayisivuka masinyane intombazana, yahamba; ngokuba yayineminyaka eyishumi nambili. Khona bamangala ngokumangala okukhulu.
