| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from King James Bible: cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
MAR 5:42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of
the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great
astonishment.
MAR 5:43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and

MAR 6:1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and
