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 pass consecutively, that He was going through city and village, proclaiming and preaching the gospel of God, and the twelve along 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 certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
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 Joanna the wife of Chuzas the steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many other women, who were accustomed to minister unto Him from those things belonging to them.
4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:
A great multitude being with Him, and coming to Him throughout every city, He spoke in 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 sow his seed. And while he was sowing, some fell by the way, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.
And other fell on the rock; and springing up, withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.
And other fell in the midst of thorns, and the thorns growing together, choked it out.
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 other fell into good ground, and springing up, produced fruit, a hundredfold. Speaking these things, He cried out, Let the one having ears to hear, hear.
9 Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.
And His disciples asked Him saying, What might this parable be?
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 said; To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
And this is the parable: The seed is the word 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 there are those who hear by the wayside; then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, lest they believing may be saved.
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.
And those on the stones are they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy; and they have no root in them, who believe for a time, and in time of temptation they fall 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 falleth among thorns, there are those who hear, and going forward, by the cares and riches and pleasures are choked out, and bring forth no fruit to perfection.
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.
And that which is in the good ground, are those whosoever hearing the word in a beautiful and good heart, retain it, and bring forth fruit 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.
But no one having lighted a candle covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but he places it on a candlestick, in order that those coming 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 there is nothing hidden which shall not be made manifest; neither is there any thing concealed, which may not be made known and come into the 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.”
Therefore see how you hear: for whosoever may have, it shall be given unto him; and whosoever may not have, it shall be taken from him, even that which he seems to have.
19 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.
And His mother and His brothers came to Him, and were not able to reach Him on account of the crowd.
20 He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”
And it was told Him, Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, wishing to see thee.
21 But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”
And He responding said to them, My mother and my brothers are the ones hearing the word of God, and doing 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 pass on one of the days, He and His disciples went into a ship. And He said to them, Let us go to the other side of the lake. And they were embarked.
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 they sailing, He was asleep: and a storm of wind came down into the lake; and they were being filled, and imperiled.
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.
And they having come to Him, awakened Him, saying, Master, Master, we perish. And He having arisen, rebuked the wind and the wave of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
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!”
And He said to them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid were astonished, saying to one another, Who then is this, because He commands the winds and the water, and they obey Him?
26 Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.
And they sailed into the country of the Gergesenes, which is over against Galilee.
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 a certain man from the city, who a long time had demons, and did not wear clothing, and did not remain in the house, but in the tombs; met Him having come to the land.
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 seeing Jesus, and crying out, he worshiped Him, and said with a loud voice; What is there to me and to thee, O Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I pray 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 the unclean spirit to come out from the man; for since a long time he had possessed him, and he was frequently bound, secured with chains and fetters, and smashing his bonds, was driven by the demons into the desert.
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.
And Jesus asked him saying, What is thy name? And he said Legion; because many demons entered into him.
And he continued to intreat Him that He should not command them to depart into the abyss. (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 a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain: and they continued to intreat Him that He should permit them to go into them. And He permitted 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.
And the demons having come out from the man, came into the swine: and the herd rushed down a precipice into the sea, and were strangled.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.
And the herders seeing that which took place, fled, and proclaimed it in the city and in the country.
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.
And they came out to see that which had happened; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the demons had gone, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid.
36 Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
And those seeing reported to them how the demonized man was saved.
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.
And all the multitudes of the surrounding country of the Gergesenes, asked Him to depart from them; because they were seized with great fear. And He having come Into the ship, returned.
38 The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,
And the man out of whom the demons had gone prayed to be with Him. And Jesus 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.
Return to thy own house, and relate, how many things God has done unto thee. And he departed throughout the whole city, preaching how many things Jesus did unto him.
40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.
And it came to pass when Jesus returned, the multitude received Him; for they were all looking for Him.
41 Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,
Behold, a man to whom was the name Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and falling at the feet of Jesus, he continued to intreat Him to 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 there was an only daughter to him, of twelve years, and she was dying. And while He was going the multitudes were thronging 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 being in an issue of blood twelve years, who having expended all her living with physicians, was not able to be healed by any of them,
44 She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
and having come to Him behind, she touched the hem of His garment: and immediately the issue of blood ceased.
45 “Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”
And Jesus said, Who is the one having touched me? And all denying, Peter and the disciples with Him said, The multitudes crowd thee and press upon thee, and dost thou say, Who is the one having touched me?
46 But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”
And Jesus said, Some one touched me: for I know the power went out from 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.
And the woman seeing that she was not concealed, came trembling, and falling down before Him, proclaimed on account of what cause she touched Him, in the presence of all the people, and how she was healed immediately.
48 “Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
And He said to her, Be of good cheer, daughter; thy faith hath saved 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.”
And He yet speaking, a certain one comes from the house of the chief ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher:
50 But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
and Jesus hearing, responded to him, saying, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be saved.
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 having come to the house, He did not suffer any to enter except Peter, John, and James, and the father and mother of the child.
52 Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”
And they were all weeping, and wailing over her: and He said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.
And they hooted at Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”
And having put all out, taking her by the hand, He spoke, saying, Child, arise.
55 Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.
And her spirit returned, and she stood up immediately. And He commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
56 Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
And her parents were delighted: and He commanded them to tell no one that which had taken place.
