So they arrived at the opposite shore of the Lake, in the country of the Gerasenes.

At once, on His landing, there came from the tombs to meet Him a man possessed by a foul spirit.
This man lived among the tombs, nor could any one now secure him even with a chain;
4 ⲇ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲣϥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲓⲇⲉⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲁⲗⲩⲥⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁϥⲥⲗⲡ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲗⲩⲥⲓⲥ ⲛϥ̅ⲟⲩⲉϭⲡⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓⲇⲉⲥ ⲉⲙⲡⲉϣⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
for many a time he had been left securely bound in fetters and chains, but afterwards the chains lay torn link from link, and the fetters in fragments, and there was no one strong enough to master him.

And constantly, day and night, he remained among the tombs or on the hills, shrieking, and mangling himself with sharp stones.
And when he saw Jesus in the distance, he ran and threw himself at His feet,
7 ⲍ̅ ⲁϥⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ ϯⲱⲣⲕ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲃⲁⲥⲁⲛⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈.
crying out in a loud voice, "What hast Thou to do with me, Jesus, Son of God Most High? In God's name I implore Thee not to torment me."
For He had said to him, "Foul spirit, come out of the man."
Jesus also questioned him. "What is your name?" He said. "Legion," he replied, "for there are a host of us."
And he earnestly entreated Him not to send them away out of the country.
Feeding there, on the mountain slope, was a great herd of swine.
So they besought Jesus. "Send us to the swine," they said, "so 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
He gave them leave; and the foul spirits came out and entered into the swine, and the herd--about 2,000 in number--rushed headlong down the cliff into the Lake and were drowned in the Lake.
The swineherds fled, and spread the news in town and country. So the people came 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 when they came to Jesus, they beheld the demoniac quietly seated, clothed and of sane mind--the man who had had the legion; and they were awe-stricken.
And those who had seen it told them the particulars of what had happened to the demoniac, and all about the swine.
Then they began entreating Him to depart from their district.
As He was embarking, the man who had been possessed asked permission to accompany Him.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡϥ̅ⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲏⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲛⲉⲕⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲅ̅ⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲁϥⲛⲁ ⲛⲁⲕ
But He would not allow it. "Go home to your family," He said, "and report to them all that the Lord has done for you, and the mercy He has shown you."
So the man departed, and related publicly everywhere in the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and all were astonished.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲟⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ. ⲁⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲛⲉϥϩⲁⲧⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲇⲉ
When Jesus had re-crossed in the boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding to Him; and He was on the shore of the Lake,
when there came one of the Wardens of the Synagogue--he was called Jair--who, on beholding Him, threw himself at His feet,
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ̅ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲙⲟⲕϩ̅ ⲛ̅ϣⲱⲛⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉⲕⲉⲉⲓ ⲛⲅ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ̅ ϩⲓϫⲱⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲉⲗⲟ ⲛⲥ̅ⲱⲛϩ
and besought Him with many entreaties. "My little daughter," he said, "is at the point of death: I pray you come and lay your hands upon her, that she may recover and live."
And Jesus went with him. And a dense crowd followed Him, and thronged Him on all sides.
Now a woman who for twelve years had suffered from haemorrhage,
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥϣⲉⲡϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥϫⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲙⲡⲥ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛ̅ⲑⲟ.
and had undergone many different treatments under a number of doctors and had spent all she had without receiving benefit but on the contrary growing worse,
heard of Jesus. And she came in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak;
for she said, "If I but touch His clothes, I shall be cured."
29 ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲥϭⲱ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲧⲡⲏⲅⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲥⲛⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲥⲗⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲥⲧⲓⲅⲝ ⲉⲧⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲥ
In a moment the flow of her blood ceased, and she felt in herself that her complaint was cured.
30 ⲗ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥⲕⲧⲟϥ ϩⲙⲡ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲱϩ ⲉⲛⲁϩⲟⲓ̈ⲧⲉ
Immediately Jesus, well knowing that healing power had gone from within Him, turned round 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.
"You see the multitude pressing you on all sides," His disciples exclaimed, "and yet you ask, 'Who touched me?'"
But He continued looking about to see the person who had done this,
33 ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲥⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥⲥⲧⲱⲧ ⲉⲥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲁⲥⲡⲁϩⲧⲥ̅ ϩⲁⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅
until the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself at His feet, and told Him all the truth.
34 ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲧⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥⲛⲁϩⲙⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲗⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩⲙⲁⲥⲧⲓⲅⲝ.
"Daughter," He said, "your faith has cured you: go in peace, and be free from your complaint."
35 ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ ⲉⲧⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲕϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲕⲛⲁϯϩⲟⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ
While He is yet speaking, men come from the house to the Warden, and say, "Your daughter is dead: why trouble the Rabbi further?"
But Jesus, overhearing the words, said to the Warden, "Do not be afraid; only have faith."
And He allowed no one to accompany Him except Peter and the brothers James and John.
So they come to the Warden's house. Here He gazes on a scene of uproar, with people weeping aloud and wailing.
39 ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲧⲣ̅ⲧⲱⲣ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥ̅ⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲥⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅
He goes in. "Why all this outcry and loud weeping?" He asks; "the child is asleep, not dead."
40 ⲙ̅ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲃⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲟϫⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁϥϫⲓⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲛⲙ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
To this their reply is a scornful laugh. He, however, puts them all out, takes the child's father and mother and those He has brought with Him, and enters the room where the child lies.
41 ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧ̅ϭⲓϫ ⲛ̅ⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲗⲉⲓⲑⲁ ⲕⲟⲩⲙ. ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ϣⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲙⲉϥ ϫⲉ ⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲉⲉⲓϫⲉⲣⲟ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲉ
Then, taking her by the hand, He says to her, "Talitha, koum;" that is to say, "Little girl, I command you to wake!"
42 ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲁⲥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛⲉⲥϩⲙ̅ⲙⲛⲧ̅ⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲣ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲣ̅ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ
Instantly the little girl rises to her feet and begins to walk (for she was twelve years old). They were at once beside themselves with utter astonishment;
but He gave strict injunctions that the matter should not be made known, and directed them to give her something to eat.
