He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
--Mark 5:43
They laughed at Jesus, but Jesus -- as the saying goes -- has "the last laugh." It's not that HE laughed, He simply took her up and said "Talitha cum," which means, "Little girl, get up!"
Amazement followed quickly on the heels of the derisive laughter. Then Jesus, as was His way, continues his care for the little girl. He told them not to say a word about what happened and to give her something to eat.
They said she was dead. Jesus said she was sleeping. They laughed. Jesus took her by the hand. They are amazed. Jesus wants silence. Jesus directs them to give her something to eat.
With Jesus, there is always more than we even asked for to begin with.
