< Mark 5 >

1 On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.
AND they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadroyee.
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 had come from the vessel, there met him from the place of tombs a man who had an unclean spirit,
3 This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.
and he dwelt in the place of tombs; and with chains no man could 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.
for, so often as with shackles and chains he had been bound, the chains he had broken, and the shackles he had burst asunder; and no man could subdue him.
5 Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.
And at all time, by night and by day, he was in the place of tombs, and in the mountains, crying out, and bruising himself with stones.
6 When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.
But when he saw Jeshu from afar, he ran, worshipped 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 cried with a high voice, and said, What to me and to thee, Jeshu, Son of Aloha the Most High? I adjure thee by Aloha, that thou torment me not!
8 For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”
For he had said to him, Come forth from the man, unclean spirit!
9 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”
And he questioned him, How is thy name? And he said to him, Legion is our name, because we are many.
10 And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.
And he besought him much that he would not send him out of the region.
11 There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.
Now at the mountain there was a great herd of swine feeding.
12 So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”
And the devils besought him, saying, Send us into those 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 those unclean spirits went forth and entered into the swine; and that herd ran to the rock, and plunged into the sea, as two thousand, and were drowned in the waters.
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 kept them fled, and told in the city, and also in the hamlets; and they came forth to see what was done.
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 came to Jeshu, and saw him who (had had) the devils, sitting, clothed, and sane; him, who had had in him the legion and they were afraid.
16 Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.
And they who had seen, related to them what had been done to him who had had the devils, and also concerning those swine.
17 And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
And they began to beg of him to go from their coast.
18 As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.
And when he had ascended the vessel, he in whom had been the devils besought him that he might be with him.
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.”
But he permitted him not; but said to him, Go to thy house, to thy men, and show them what the Lord hath done for thee, and (how he) 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 went, and began to preach in the ten cities what Jeshu had done for him: and all marvelled.
21 When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.
AND when Jeshu had passed in the vessel to the opposite side, there were again congregated unto him great gatherings, while he was upon the shore of the sea.
22 A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet
And there came one whose name was Jorosh, one of the masters of the synagogue; and when he saw him, he fell 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 besought him much, saying to him, My daughter is greatly afflicted; come, lay thy hand upon her, and she will be healed, and live.
24 So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.
And Jeshu went with him; and a great multitude adhered to him, and oppressed him.
25 And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.
But a certain woman, who had a defluxion 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.
who much had suffered from many physicians, and had expended all whatever she had, and was nothing helped, but also the more afflicted,
27 When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.
having heard of Jeshu, came in the press of the crowd behind him, and touched his vestment.
28 For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”
For she said, If I but touch his vestment, I shall live.
29 Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried; and she felt in her body that she had been healed from her plague.
30 At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”
But Jeshu at once knew within himself that power had gone forth from him, and he turned to the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments?
31 His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”
His disciples say to him, Thou seest the crowds that oppress thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 But He kept looking around to see who had done this.
And he looked round to see who this 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.
But the woman herself, fearing and trembling, because she knew what had been done for her, came, fell 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.”
But he said to her, My daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace, and be healed 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?”
And while he was speaking, there came some of the house of the master of the synagogue, saying, Thy daughter is dead: for what then art thou wearying the Teacher?
36 But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”
But Jeshu heard the word which they spake, and said to the master of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe.
37 And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
And he did not permit any one to go with him, except Shemun Kipha, and Jacub, and Juchanon, brother of Jacub.
38 When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.
And they came to the house of that master of the synagogue, and he saw how they made a tumult, and wept and bewailed.
39 He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”
And he entered, and said to them, Why make you a tumult, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but asleep.
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 derided him. But Jeshu put them all forth, and took the father of the damsel, and her mother, and those who were with her, and went in where the damsel was lying.
41 Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
And he took the hand of the damsel, and said to her, Damsel, 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 forthwith the damsel arose, and walked; for she was a daughter of twelve years. And they wondered with great admiration.
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 charged them greatly that no one should know this, and spake that they should give her (somewhat) to eat.
