And the girl immediately got up and was walking, for she was about twelve years old. And everyone was greatly amazed.
The miracle happens immediately and in a complete way. The girl not only comes back to life, but also gets up and walks. That is, life had returned fully, not partially or in a faint way, and she immediately received full strength to walk. The mention of her age also provides confirmation of the historical reality of this miracle. This was a real child, in a real family, and she returned to life from real death. Those present are filled with great amazement. And that is natural, because they were standing before a reality that was beyond every limit of human powers. Yet this amazement should lead to a greater understanding: that Jesus is the Lord of life. He not only heals sickness, but also raises the dead.
