‏ Mark 5:42

 Rose up, and walked ( ανεστη κα περιεπατε ). Aorist tense (single act) followed by the imperfect ( the walking went on).

 For she was twelve years old ( ην γαρ ετων δωδεκα ). The age mentioned by Mark alone and here as explanation that she was old enough to walk.

 Amazed ( εξεστησαν ). We have had this word before in Mt 12:23 and Mr 2:12, which see. Here the word is repeated in the substantive in the associative instrumental case ( εκστασε μεγαλη ), with a great ecstasy, especially on the part of the parents (Lu 8:56), and no wonder.
