Mark 5
1 They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
2 When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.
And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.
3 He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,
He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;
4 because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him.
Because he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.
5 Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
And when he saw Jesus from far off, he went quickly to him and gave him worship;
7 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.”
And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.
8 For he said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”
For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.
9 He asked him, “What is your name?” He said to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.
10 He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
And he made strong prayers to him not to send them away out of the country.
11 Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.
Now on the mountain side there was a great herd of pigs getting their food.
12 All the demons begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them.”
And they said to him, Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.
13 At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.
14 Those who fed the pigs fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.
And their keepers went running and gave an account of it in the town and in the country. And people came to see what had taken place.
15 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 they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.
16 Those who saw it declared to them what happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
And those who had seen it gave them an account of what had been done to him who had the evil spirits, and of the fate of the pigs.
17 They began to beg him to depart from their region.
And they made a request to him to go out of their country.
18 As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.
And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.
19 He did not allow him, but said to him, “Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you and how he had mercy on you.”
And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.
20 He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.
And he went on his way, and made public in the country of Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men were full of wonder.
21 When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.
22 Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet
And one of the rulers of the Synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and seeing him, went down at his feet,
23 and begged him much, 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 made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.
24 He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.
And he went with him; and a great number of people went after him, and came round him.
25 A certain woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years,
And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,
26 and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
And had undergone much at the hands of a number of medical men, and had given all she had, and was no better, but even worse,
27 having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes.
When she had news of the things which Jesus did, went among the people coming after him, and put her hand on his robe.
28 For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.”
For she said, If I may only put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.
29 Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
And straight away the fountain of her blood was stopped, and she had a feeling in her body that her disease had gone and she was well.
30 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?
31 His disciples said to him, “You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
And his disciples said to him, You see the people round you on every side, and you say, Who was touching me?
32 He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
And on his looking round to see her who had done this thing,
33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.
34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”
And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be free from your disease.
35 While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?”
And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?
36 But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid, only believe.”
But Jesus, giving no attention to their words, said to the ruler of the Synagogue, Have no fear, only have faith.
37 He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.
38 He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
And they came to the house of the ruler of the Synagogue; and he saw people running this way and that, and weeping and crying loudly.
39 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.”
And when he had gone in, he said to them, Why are you making such a noise and weeping? The child is not dead, but sleeping.
40 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 lying.
And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!”
And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.
42 Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.
And the young girl got up straight away, and was walking about; she being twelve years old. And they were overcome with wonder.
43 He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.
