Luke 8
1 Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,
And it came to passe afterwarde, that hee himselfe went through euery citie and towne, preaching and publishing the kingdome of God, and the twelue were with him,
2 as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
And certaine women, which were healed of euill spirites, and infirmities, as Mary which was called Magdalene, out of whom went seuen deuils,
3 Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.
And Ioanna the wife of Chuza Herods steward, and Susanna, and many other which ministred vnto him of their substance.
4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:
Nowe when much people were gathered together, and were come vnto him out of all cities, he spake by a parable.
5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.
A sower went out to sowe his seede, and as he sowed, some fell by the wayes side, and it was troden vnder feete, and the foules of heauen deuoured it vp.
6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.
And some fell on the stones, and when it was sprong vp, it withered away, because it lacked moystnesse.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.
And some fell among thornes, and the thornes sprang vp with it, and choked it.
8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
And some fell on good ground, and sprang vp, and bare fruite, an hundreth folde. And as hee sayd these things, he cryed, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
9 Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.
Then his disciples asked him, demaunding what parable that was.
10 He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’
And he sayd, Vnto you it is giuen to know the secrets of ye kingdome of God, but to other in parables, that when they see, they shoulde not see, and when they heare, they should not vnderstand.
11 Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
The parable is this, The seede is the worde of God.
12 The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
And they that are beside the way, are they that heare: afterward commeth the deuill, and taketh away the worde out of their hearts, least they should beleeue, and be saued.
13 The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.
But they that are on the stones, are they which when they haue heard, receiue ye word with ioy: but they haue no rootes: which for a while beleeue, but in the time of tentation goe away.
14 The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
And that which fell among thornes, are they which haue heard, and after their departure are choked with cares and with riches, and voluptuous liuing, and bring forth no fruite.
15 But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.
But that which fell in good ground, are they which with an honest and good heart heare the worde, and keepe it, and bring forth fruite with patience.
16 No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.
No man when he hath lighted a candle, couereth it vnder a vessell, neither putteth it vnder the bed, but setteth it on a candlesticke, that they that enter in, may see the light.
17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.
For nothing is secret, that shall not be euident: neither any thing hid, that shall not be knowen, and come to light.
18 Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
Take heede therefore how ye heare: for whosoeuer hath, to him shall be giuen: and whosoeuer hath not, from him shalbe taken euen that which it seemeth that he hath.
19 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.
Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come neere to him for the preasse.
20 He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”
And it was tolde him by certaine which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, and would see thee.
21 But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”
But he answered, and sayd vnto them, My mother and my brethren are these which heare the worde of God, and doe it.
22 One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.
And it came to passe on a certaine day, that he went into a ship with his disciples, and he sayd vnto them, Let vs goe ouer vnto the other side of the lake. And they lanched forth.
23 As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
And as they sayled, he fell a sleepe, and there came downe a storme of winde on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in ieopardie.
24 The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.
Then they went to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we perish. And he arose, and rebuked the winde, and the waues of water: and they ceased, and it was calme.
25 “Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”
Then he sayde vnto them, Where is your fayth? and they feared, and wondered among them selues, saying, Who is this that commandeth both the windes and water, and they obey him!
26 Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.
So they sailed vnto the region of the Gadarenes, which is ouer against Galile.
27 When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.
And as he went out to land, there met him a certaine man out of the citie, which had deuils long time, and he ware no garment, neither abode in house, but in the graues.
28 When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”
And when he sawe Iesus, he cryed out and fell downe before him, and with a loude voyce sayd, What haue I to doe with thee, Iesus the Sonne of God the most High? I beseech thee torment me not.
29 For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.
For he commanded ye foule spirit to come out of the man: (for oft times he had caught him: therefore he was bound with chaines, and kept in fetters: but he brake the bands, and was caried of the deuill into wildernesses.)
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.
Then Iesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he sayd, Legion, because many deuils were entred into him.
And they besought him, that he would not commaund them to goe out into the deepe. (Abyssos g12)
32 There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.
And there was there by, an hearde of many swine, feeding on an hill: and the deuils besought him, that he would suffer them to enter into them. So he suffered them.
33 Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
Then went the deuils out of the man, and entred into the swine: and the hearde was caried with violence from a steepe downe place into the lake, and was choked.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.
When the heardmen sawe what was done, they fled: and when they were departed, they tolde it in the citie and in the countrey.
35 So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
Then they came out to see what was done, and came to Iesus, and found the man, out of whom the deuils were departed, sitting at the feete of Iesus, clothed, and in his right minde: and they were afrayd.
36 Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
They also which saw it, tolde them by what meanes he that was possessed with the deuill, was healed.
37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.
Then the whole multitude of the countrey about the Gadarenes, besought him that he would depart from them: for they were taken with a great feare: and he went into the ship, and returned.
38 The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,
Then the man, out of whome the deuils were departed, besought him that hee might be with him: but Iesus sent him away, saying,
39 “Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.
Returne into thine owne house, and shewe what great things God hath done to thee. So hee went his way, and preached throughout all the citie, what great things Iesus had done vnto him.
40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.
And it came to passe, when Iesus was come againe, that the people receiued him: for they all waited for him.
41 Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,
And beholde, there came a man named Iairus, and he was the ruler of the Synagogue, who fell downe at Iesus feete, and besought him that he would come into his house.
42 because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,
For he had but a daughter onely, about twelue yeeres of age, and she lay a dying (and as he went, the people thronged him.
43 including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.
And a woman hauing an yssue of blood, twelue yeeres long, which had spent all her substance vpon physicians, and could not be healed of any:
44 She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
When she came behind him, she touched the hemme of his garment, and immediatly her yssue of blood stanched.
45 “Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”
Then Iesus sayd, Who is it that hath touched me? When euery man denied, Peter sayd and they that were with him, Master, the multitude thrust thee, and tread on thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me?
46 But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”
And Iesus sayde, Some one hath touched me: for I perceiue that vertue is gone out of me.
47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.
When the woman sawe that she was not hid, she came trembling, and fell downe before him, and tolde him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediatly.
48 “Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
And he said vnto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath saued thee: go in peace.)
49 While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”
While he yet spake, there came one from the ruler of the Synagogues house, which sayde to him, Thy daughter is dead: disease not the Master.
50 But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
When Iesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Feare not: beleeue onely, and she shall be saued.
51 When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.
And when he went into the house, he suffered no man to goe in with him, saue Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and the father and mother of the maide.
52 Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”
And all wept, and sorowed for her: but he sayd, Weepe not: for she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.
And they laught him to scorne, knowing that she was dead.
54 But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”
So he thrust them all out, and tooke her by the hand, and cryed, saying, Maide, arise.
55 Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.
And her spirite came againe, and she rose straightway: and he comanded to giue her meate.
56 Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
Then her parents were astonied: but hee commanded them that they should tell no man what was done.
