German text Primas quidam venit ad Iesum et adoravit eum, dicens: filia mea modo defuncta est, sed veni et impone manum tuam super illam, ac vivet. Et surgens Iesus secutus est eum, ac discipuli eius. |
German translation Ein Vorsteher kam zu Jesus und fiel vor ihm nieder und sprach: Meine Tochter ist eben gestorben, aber komm und lege deine Hand auf sie, so wird sie lebendig. Und Jesus stand auf und folgte ihm mit seinen Jüngern. |
English translation A ruler came to Jesus and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live." And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. |
