And they came to the other side of the sea, into the territory of the Gerasenes.

And when he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.
He lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain.

For he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. No one had the strength to tame him.

And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
7 ⲍ̅ ⲁϥⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ ϯⲱⲣⲕ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲃⲁⲥⲁⲛⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈.
and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."
For he had been saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit."
And then he asked him, "What is your name?" And he replied, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
And he pleaded with Jesus repeatedly not to send them away out of the region.
Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.
And they begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲧⲟⲛ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕʾ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϣⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥⲣⲱϩⲧ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲧⲁⲅⲉⲗⲏ ⲣ̅ⲣⲓⲣ ϩⲓϫⲛ̅ⲧϣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣ̅ϫⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ
And he gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs; and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
And those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And the people went to see what it was that had happened.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲟ ⲛⲣⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲣ ⲉϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉϥϩⲟⲉⲓⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ ⲥⲙⲟⲛⲧ. ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲗⲉⲅⲉⲱⲛ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ.
And they came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.
And those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
And then they began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.
As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons pleaded with him that he might be with him.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡϥ̅ⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲏⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲛⲉⲕⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲅ̅ⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲁϥⲛⲁ ⲛⲁⲕ
However, Jesus did not allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your own, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."
So he went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone was amazed.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲟⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ. ⲁⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲛⲉϥϩⲁⲧⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲇⲉ
And when Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a large crowd was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
One of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ̅ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲙⲟⲕϩ̅ ⲛ̅ϣⲱⲛⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉⲕⲉⲉⲓ ⲛⲅ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ̅ ϩⲓϫⲱⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲉⲗⲟ ⲛⲥ̅ⲱⲛϩ
and pleaded with him repeatedly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."
And he went with him, and a large crowd followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.
Now a woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥϣⲉⲡϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥϫⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲙⲡⲥ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛ̅ⲑⲟ.
and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.
For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well."
29 ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲥϭⲱ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲧⲡⲏⲅⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲥⲛⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲥⲗⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲥⲧⲓⲅⲝ ⲉⲧⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲥ
And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
30 ⲗ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥⲕⲧⲟϥ ϩⲙⲡ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲱϩ ⲉⲛⲁϩⲟⲓ̈ⲧⲉ
And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲉⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲑⲗⲓⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲕϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϫⲱϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ.
And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"
He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
33 ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲥⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥⲥⲧⲱⲧ ⲉⲥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲁⲥⲡⲁϩⲧⲥ̅ ϩⲁⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅
But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
34 ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲧⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥⲛⲁϩⲙⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲗⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩⲙⲁⲥⲧⲓⲅⲝ.
And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."

While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"
But Jesus, overhearing the message spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, only believe."
And he allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
And they came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
39 ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲧⲣ̅ⲧⲱⲣ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥ̅ⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲥⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅
And when he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."
40 ⲙ̅ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲃⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲟϫⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁϥϫⲓⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲛⲙ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
And they ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧ̅ϭⲓϫ ⲛ̅ⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲗⲉⲓⲑⲁ ⲕⲟⲩⲙ. ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ϣⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲙⲉϥ ϫⲉ ⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲉⲉⲓϫⲉⲣⲟ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲉ
And taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha koum," which translated means, "Little girl, I tell you, get up."
42 ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲁⲥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛⲉⲥϩⲙ̅ⲙⲛⲧ̅ⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲣ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲣ̅ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ
And immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were overcome with amazement.
And he strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
