Girl

Now may it happen that the girl to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar that I may drink,’ and who responds, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels as well’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. By this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”

Now the girl was very beautiful, a virgin who had not had relations with any man. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up again.

At this time the Arameans had gone out in bands and had taken a young girl from the land of Israel, and she was serving Naaman’s wife.

And Naaman went and told his master what the girl from the land of Israel had said.

They cast lots for My people; they bartered a boy for a prostitute and sold a girl for wine to drink.

They trample on the heads of the poor as on the dust of the earth; they push the needy out of their way. A man and his father have relations with the same girl and so profane My holy name.

Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.

When the daughter of Herodias came and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests, and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”

At once the girl hurried back to the king with her request: “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”

The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”

A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.
