Exegesis
The historical present legei {λέγει | lé-gei} “he says” heightens vividness, with aute {αὐτῇ | au-tḗ} marking the feminine indirect object, “to her.”
In context — Mark 5:41
And taking the hand of the child, He says to her, “Talitha koum,” which is translated, “The little girl , I say to you, arise.”
