Context — The Healing of a Girlgenerated

40And they laughed at Him. After He had put them all outside, He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and went in to see the child.
41Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
42Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around. She was twelve years old, and at once they were utterly astounded.
43Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.

Mark 5:42 recounts the moment when Jesus raises a young girl from death. This miracle not only demonstrates His power but also serves to strengthen the faith of those who witness it. The girl, who is twelve years old, responds immediately to Jesus's command, illustrating the authority of His words. This event is part of a larger narrative where Jesus is surrounded by a crowd, highlighting the public nature of His miracles and the reactions they provoke.

The Key Word κοράσιον, korasiongenerated

The word κοράσιον (*korasion*) refers specifically to a young girl, often used in a tender or affectionate sense. It is a diminutive form derived from κόρη (*kore*), meaning 'maiden' or 'girl.' In this context, it emphasizes the youth and innocence of the girl whom Jesus raises.

The use of this term in the New Testament is significant, as it highlights the personal nature of Jesus's miracles. He does not merely perform acts of power but engages with individuals, restoring life and hope.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around.' This wording is echoed in several translations, including the KJV and ASV, which also emphasize the immediacy of the girl's response.

Where translations differ, they vary primarily in the rendering of κοράσιον. While the KJV uses 'damsel,' the BSB and WEB opt for 'girl,' highlighting a more contemporary understanding of the term.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The sentence structure is built around a series of clauses, with the main verb ἀνέστη (*arose*) governing the action of the girl getting up. This is followed by additional clauses that provide context about her age and the astonishment of those present.

The finite verb ἐξέστησαν (*they were amazed*) serves as the concluding action, indicating the reaction of the crowd to the miracle performed by Jesus.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

κοράσιον is used in the Septuagint to translate the Hebrew word for 'girl' or 'young maiden,' often appearing in contexts that denote youth and innocence. This connection enriches the understanding of the girl's character in the New Testament narrative.

In the Septuagint, the term is associated with various Hebrew words that convey similar meanings, emphasizing the significance of young women in biblical stories.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Mark 5:42 tells us that Jesus raised a twelve-year-old girl from the dead. She immediately got up and walked around, which amazed everyone present. This miracle shows Jesus's power over death and His compassion for those in need.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

Latin VulgateAD 382–405

Et confestim surrexit puella, et ambulabat : erat autem annorum duodecim : et obstupuerunt stupore magno.

Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Syriac Peshittaby AD 400

ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܩܡܬ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܡܗܠܟܐ ܗܘܬ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܒܪܬ ܫܢܝܢ ܬܪܬܥܣܪܐ ܘܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܘܡܪܐ ܪܒܐ

The Bible of the Syriac-speaking church, in the language nearest to the Aramaic Jesus spoke.

Shown verse by verse rather than word by word: aligning a Greek word to its Latin or Syriac counterpart automatically would be guesswork, and a wrong alignment is worse than none.

Company kept: which words stand within three words of each of these, anywhere in the Greek New Testament — the thicker the line, the more often the pair meet compared with chance. Built from: the words a word is made out of, taken from its own Strong’s entry. It is not a map of meaning: nothing here claims two words mean the same thing.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word εὐθέως (i.e. *eutheōs*) is an adverb meaning 'immediately' or 'at once.' It is derived from εὐθύς and is used frequently in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels. Notably, some lexicons indicate that εὐθέως appears in various contexts, while others mention its interchangeability with εὐθύς in certain verses, particularly in Mark.

The Greek word ἀνίστημι (*anistēmi*) is built from the components meaning 'up' and 'to stand.' It covers a range of meanings including to raise up, to cause to rise from sleep or death, and to set up or establish. In the New Testament, it is used in contexts such as raising the dead (John 6:39) and causing someone to stand (Acts 9:41).

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

Th' adorning thee with so much art,

Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word κοράσιον (korasion) is a neuter diminutive of κόρη (kore), meaning 'little girl' or 'maiden.' It appears in the New Testament primarily in a colloquial context, often without any disparaging connotation. The word is used in several passages, including Matthew and Mark, and has a range that includes references to young girls in both biblical and later Greek literature.

(dimin. of κόρη),

[in LXX chiefly for נַעֲרָה, Ru 2:8, al.; in Jl 3 (4):3, Za 8:5 for יַלְדָּה;]

a colloquial word which survives in MGr. (Kennedy, Sourcs, 154), girl, maiden: Mt 9:24, 25 14:11, Mk 5:41, 42 6:22, 28.†

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

περιπατέω means to walk or to conduct oneself, often used metaphorically to describe how one lives or behaves. It is derived from the components meaning 'around' and 'to tread.' The New Testament uses it in various contexts, including physical walking (e.g., Matthew 9:5) and ethical living (e.g., Ephesians 4:1). There is a note of variation in how lexicons emphasize its metaphorical use, particularly in relation to living a certain way.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.

γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich).

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἐξίστημι (i.e., *existēmi*) is built from the prefix ἐξ and the root ἵστημι. It covers a range of meanings including to displace, to astonish, and to lose one's senses. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts of amazement and confusion, such as in Luke 24:22 and Acts 8:9. Dodson's entry is notably brief, simply stating it means to astonish or be astonished.

a-mazd': A term which illustrates the difficulty of expressing in one English word the wide range of startled emotion, wonder, astonishment, awe, covered, in the Old Testament, by four Hebrew words and in the New Testament by as many Greek words. Its Scripture originals range in meaning from amazement accompanied with terror and trembling to an astonishment full of perplexity, wonder, awe and joyous surprise. It is the word especially used to show the effect of Christ's miracles, teaching, character and Divine personality on those who saw and heard Him, and were made conscious of His supernatural power (Mt 12:23: "All the multitudes were amazed"). The miracles of Pentecost and the Holy Spirit's bestowal of the gift of tongues produced the same universal wonder (Ac 2:7: "They were…

The Greek word εὐθέως (i.e. *eutheōs*) is an adverb meaning 'immediately' or 'at once.' It is derived from εὐθύς and is used frequently in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels. Notably, some lexicons indicate that εὐθέως appears in various contexts, while others mention its interchangeability with εὐθύς in certain verses, particularly in Mark.

The Greek word ἔκστασις (i.e., ekstasis) is derived from ἐξίστημι and refers to a displacement of the mind, indicating states of bewilderment, amazement, or trance. In the New Testament, it is used to describe experiences of astonishment and altered mental states, particularly in Acts and Mark. The lexicons note its use in contexts of both divine visions and emotional responses.

a displacement (Arist.).

An abnormal condition of the mind, in which the subject passes out of his usual self-control (Hippocr.); in NT (Kennedy, Sources, 121 f.);
