And he took the child by the hand, and said unto her,
Talitha cumi;
which is, being interpreted,
Little girl, I say unto you, arise.
Read Chapter 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Only three resurrections from the dead are mentioned as performed by our Saviour: one just dead; one carried out to be buried; and Lazarus, already in his tomb. These represent the different states of sinners dead in sin, some more desperate than others. To such as have been for years in sin, and have none to intercede for them, we must apply the words of Christ, suffer the dead to bury the dead. (Ven. Bede, and St. Augustine, de verb. Dom. serm. 44.)
