Before you watch: Grief and crying.

  1. Read it

    39When he had entered in, he said to them, “Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.”

    40They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.

    41Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!”

    42Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.

  3. Think

    Jesus tells the crying crowd "she is only sleeping". What do you hear in that?

    Nothing to write down or send. Sit with it, or talk about it with someone.
