Subjects in this Topic:

TALITHA CUMI.—The command addressed by our Lord to the daughter of Jairus (Mar_5:41), and interpreted by the Evangelist, ‘Maiden, I say unto thee, arise.’ The relating of the actual (Aramaic) words used by Jesus is characteristic of St. Mark’s graphic narrative; cf. Mar_7:11; Mar_7:34; Mar_14:36; Mar_15:34.
