Mark 5
1 On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.
And they came unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
2 As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, He was met by a man with an unclean spirit, who was coming from the tombs.
And, when he went forth out of the boat, [straightway], there met him, from amongst the tombs, a man, in an impure spirit:
3 This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.
who had his dwelling among the tombs, and, not even with a chain, any longer, was anyone able to bind him, —
4 Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.
because of his having been, many times, with fetters and chains, bound, and the chains having been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters smashed, and no one was mighty enough to tame him;
5 Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.
and, continually, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, was he crying aloud, and cutting himself in pieces with stones.
6 When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.
And, seeing Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him;
7 And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”
and, crying out with a loud voice, saith—What have in common with thee? O Jesus, Son of God Most High? I adjure thee by God, —Do not torment me!
8 For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”
For he was saying to him—Go forth thou impure spirit, out of the man;
9 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”
and he was questioning him—What is thy name? and he saith to him—Legion, is my name, because we are, many;
10 And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.
and he was beseeching him much that he would not send them forth outside the country.
11 There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.
Now there was there, near the mountain, a large herd of swine, feeding;
12 So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”
and they besought him, saying—Send us into the swine, that, into them, we may enter;
13 He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.
and he suffered them. And the impure spirits, going out, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the cliff into the sea, about two thousand, and were choked in the sea.
14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.
And, they who had been feeding them, fled, and bare tidings into the city and into the fields, —and they came to see what it was that had happened.
15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
And they come unto Jesus, and view the demonized man, clothed and of sound mind, him who had had the legion, —and they were struck with fear.
16 Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.
And the beholders narrated to them, how it happened to the demonized man, and concerning the swine.
17 And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
And they began to beseech him, to depart from their bounds.
18 As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.
And, as he was entering into the boat, he who had been demonized was beseeching him, that, with him, he might be.
19 But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”
And he suffered him not, but saith unto him—Withdraw into thy house, unto thine own, and bear tidings unto them, how many things the Lord for thee hath done, and hath had mercy on thee.
20 So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.
And he departed, and began proclaiming, in the Decapolis, how many things Jesus had done for him, —and, all, were marvelling.
21 When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.
And, Jesus crossing over in the boat again unto the other side, there was gathered a large multitude unto him, and he was by the lake.
22 A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet
And there cometh one of the synagogue-rulers, by name Jairus, and, seeing him, falleth at his feet,
23 and pleaded with Him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Please come and place Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.”
and beseecheth him much, saying—My little daughter is at her last!—that, coming, thou wouldest lay thy hands upon her, that she may be made well, and live;
24 So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.
and he departed with him. And there was following him a large multitude, and they were pressing upon him.
25 And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.
And, a woman, who had had a flow of blood twelve years,
26 She had borne much agony under the care of many physicians and had spent all she had, but to no avail. Instead, her condition had only grown worse.
and suffered much from many physicians, and spent all her means, and profited, nothing, —but had, rather, become worse,
27 When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.
hearing the things about Jesus, came in the crowd from behind, and touched his mantle;
28 For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”
for she was saying—If I can touch so much as his mantle, I shall be made well;
29 Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
and, straightway, the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she knew, in her body, that she was healed from the plague.
30 At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”
And, straightway, Jesus, taking note in himself of the power which, out of him, went forth, turning round in the crowd, was saying—Who hath touched my garments?
31 His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”
and his disciples were saying to him—Thou seest the crowd pressing upon thee, —and sayest thou—Who hath touched me?
32 But He kept looking around to see who had done this.
and he was looking round to see her who, this thing had done.
33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him trembling in fear, and she told Him the whole truth.
And, the woman, overcome with fear, and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 “Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”
And, he, said to her—Daughter! thy faith hath made thee well; withdraw into peace, and be whole from thy plague.
35 While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”
While yet he is speaking, they come from the synagogue-ruler’s, saying—Thy daughter, is dead! Why, further, annoy the teacher?
36 But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”
But, Jesus, overhearing the word being spoken, saith unto the synagogue-ruler—Do not fear, only have faith!
37 And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
And he suffered no one to follow with him, save Peter and James and John the brother of James.
38 When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.
And they come into the house of the synagogue-ruler, and he observeth a tumult, and persons weeping and wailing greatly;
39 He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”
and, entering, he saith unto them—Why are ye making a tumult, and weeping? The child, is, not dead, but, is sleeping;
40 And they laughed at Him. After He had put them all outside, He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and went in to see the child.
and they were deriding him. But, he, thrusting all forth, taketh with him the father of the child, and the mother, and them who were with him, —and entereth where the child was;
41 Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
and, grasping the hand of the child, he saith unto her—Talitha, koum! which is, when translated—O damsel! to thee, I say, Arise!
42 Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around. She was twelve years old, and at once they were utterly astounded.
And, straightway, the damsel arose, and was walking about; for she was twelve years of age. And they were beside themselves, straightway, with a great transport;
43 Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
and he commanded them, again and again, that, no one, should get to know this thing, —and bade that food should be given her to eat.
