Instantly a tremor quivered through the entire body. The pulses of life beat again in the blue-veined temples, the pallid lips opened with a smile, the bosom heaved with returning breath, the waxen lids opened widely as if from sleep, and the dark eyes looked out wonderingly. The girl arose, weak from her long illness, but free from disease. She walked slowly across the room, while the parents wept for joy. Jesus bade them give her food, and charged all the household to tell no one what had been done there. But notwithstanding his injunction to secrecy, the news spread far and near that he had raised the dead to life. A large number were present when the child died, and when they again beheld her alive and well, it was impossible to prevent them from reporting the wonderful deed done by the great Physician. {2SP 324.1}

En bevægelse gennemfor straks hele legemet. Pulsen slog igen i de blå årer; idet åndedrætet kom tilbage; de stive øjenlåg åbnede sig vidt, som om hun vågnede op af en søvn, og de mærke øjne så sig omkring med forundring. Pigen stod op, svag efter sin lange sygdom, men fuldkommen helbredt. Hun gik langsomt over gulvet, medens forældrene græd af glæde. Jesus befalede, at man skulle give hende mad, og bød hele familien, at de ikke skulle sige nogen det, som var sket. Men ikke desto mindre rygtedes det vidt og bredt, at han havde oprejst den død til liv. Der var mange tilstede, da barnet døde, og da de så, at hun atter var levende og sund, var det umuligt at hindre dem fra at omtale den underfulde gerning, som den Store Lærer havde udført.
