Mar 5:41 | MHM | STEP | v. 41 : Jesus speaks to the girl in her own language, saying, Talitha cumi; Damsel, I say to you, arise (Mark 5:41 ). With this command, he shows his power. Unlike doctors who can only hope someone gets better, Jesus commands life to return. His word brings life, just as it does for people who are "dead" in sin (Ephesians 5:14; Ezekiel 16:6 ). When Jesus commands, he also gives the power to obey.
