Mark 5:43

41 Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

42 Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around. She was twelve years old, and at once they were utterly astounded.

Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
