< Luke 8 >

1 And it came about, after a short time, that he went through town and country giving the good news of the kingdom of God, and with him were the twelve,
AND it was after these things that Jeshu itinerated among the cities and villages, and preached and announced the kingdom of Aloha, and his twelve with him,
2 And certain women who had been made free from evil spirits and diseases, Mary named Magdalene, from whom seven evil spirits had gone out,
and those women who had been healed from infirmities and from evil spirits, Mariam who was called Magdalitha, she from whom he had cast out seven devils,
3 And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's chief house-servant, and Susanna and a number of others, who gave him of their wealth for his needs.
and Juchana the wife of Kusa, chief of the household of Herodes, and Shushan, and many others, who ministered unto him from their possessions.
4 And when a great number of people came together, and men from every town went out to him, he gave them teaching in the form of a story:
And when a great multitude had assembled, and from all the cities had come to him, he discoursed in parables.
5 A man went out to put in seed, and while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside and it was crushed under foot, and was taken by the birds of heaven.
A sower went forth to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the road-side; and it was trodden down, and the fowl devoured it.
6 And some went on the rock, and when it came up it became dry and dead because it had no water.
And other fell upon the rock; and it immediately sprang up, and, because it had no moisture, it withered.
7 And some went among thorns, and the thorns came up with it and it had no room for growth.
And other fell among thorns, and they sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 And some falling on good earth, came up and gave fruit a hundred times as much. And with these words he said in a loud voice, He who has ears, let him give ear.
And other fell into ground good and fair, and sprang up, and made fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these (words), he cried, Whoever hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And his disciples put questions to him about the point of the story.
And his disciples asked him, What is (the signification of) this parable?
10 And he said, To you is given knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to the others, they are given in stories, so that seeing, they may not see, and though they give hearing, the sense will not be clear to them.
But he said to them, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Aloha; but to those who are the rest in similitudes is it spoken; that while seeing they may not see, and while hearing they may not understand.
11 Now this is the point of the story: The seed is the word of God.
But this is the parable: The seed is the word of Aloha.
12 Those by the side of the road are those who have given hearing; then the Evil One comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not have faith and get salvation.
Now they by the road-side are they who hear the word; and the adversary cometh, and taketh up the word from their hearts, that they should not believe and be saved.
13 And those on the rock are those who with joy give hearing to the word; but having no root, they have faith for a time, and when the test comes they give up.
But those who fell upon the rock are those who, when they hear, with joy receive the word; yet root they have not, but for a time is their faith, and in the time of temptation they are offended.
14 And those which went among thorns are those who have given hearing, and go on their way, but they are overcome by cares and wealth and the pleasures of life, and they give no fruit.
But that which fell among thorns are they who hear the word, and by the cares, and by the riches, and by the lusts of the world, they are choked, and fruit they give not.
15 And those in the good earth are those who, having given ear to the word, keep it with a good and true heart, and in quiet strength give fruit.
But that which (was) in good ground are they who, with hearts humble and good, hear the word and retain, and give fruits with perseverance.
16 No man, when the light is lighted, puts a cover over it, or puts it under a bed, but he puts it on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.
NO man lighteth a lamp, and covereth it with a measure, or setteth it under a bed; but setteth it upon a candlestick, that every one who cometh in may see the light of it.
17 For nothing is put out of view which will not be made clear, and nothing is secret of which the knowledge will not come to light.
For there is nothing hidden which shall not be revealed, and nothing secret that shall not be known and come into openness.
18 So take care how you give hearing, for to him who has will be given, and from him who has not will be taken even what he seems to have.
Take heed how you hear: for unto him who hath, it shall be given; and from him who hath not, that also which he thinketh that he hath shall be taken from him.
19 And his mother and his brothers came to him, and they were not able to get near him because of the great number of people.
Now came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not speak with him on account of the assembly.
20 And someone said to him, Your mother and your brothers are outside desiring to see you.
And they said to him, Thy mother and thy brethren are standing without, desiring to see thee.
21 But he said to them in answer, My mother and my brothers are those who have knowledge of the word of God and do it.
But he answered and said to them, These are my mother and my brethren, they who hear the word of Aloha, and do it.
22 Now it came about on one of those days that he got into a boat with his disciples; and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the water: and they put out the boat.
NOW it was on one of the days that Jeshu ascended and sat in a vessel and his disciples: and he said to them, Let us pass to the other side of the water.
23 But while they were sailing he went to sleep: and a storm of wind came down on the sea, and the boat became full of water and they were in danger.
But as they went, Jeshu himself slept. And there became a storm of wind on the water, and nigh was the vessel to be swallowed up.
24 Then they came to him and, awaking him out of his sleep, said, Master, Master, destruction is near. And he, when he was awake, gave orders to the wind and the rolling waves, and the storm came to an end, and all was calm.
And they approached (and) awoke him, saying to him, Our master, our master, we perish! But he arose and rebuked the winds and the waves of the sea; and they quieted, and there was a calm.
25 And he said to them, Where is your faith? And fear and wonder overcame them, and they said to one another, Who then is this, who gives orders even to the winds and the water and they do what he says?
And he said to them, Where is your faith? But they, afraid, wondered, saying one with another, Who is this that also commandeth the winds, and to whom the waves and the sea are obedient?
26 And they came to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
And they went forward and came to the country of the Godroyee, which is over against Galila.
27 And when he had come to the land, there came to him a certain man from the town who had evil spirits; and for a long time he had had no clothing on, and was not living in a house but in the place of the dead.
And when he had gone forth to the land, there met him a certain man from the city, who had a devil in him a great time, and (who) wore no clothes, and in a house dwelt not, but in the place of the buried.
28 And when he saw Jesus, he gave a loud cry and went down on the earth before him and in a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Do not be cruel to me.
But when he saw Jeshu, he cried out, and fell before him, and said in a high voice, What to us and to thee, Jeshu, son of Aloha Marima? I beseech of thee, torment me not.
29 For he gave an order to the evil spirit to come out of the man. For frequently it would take a grip of him: and he was kept under control, and prisoned with chains; but parting the chains in two, he would be sent by the driving of the evil spirit into waste places.
For Jeshu commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man. For long was the time that he had been enthralled of him; and (when) bound with chains, and kept with fetters, he had burst asunder his bonds, and had been driven by the demon into the waste.
30 And Jesus said to him, What is your name? And he said, Legion; for a number of spirits had gone into him.
And Jeshu demanded of him, What is thy name? He saith to him, Legion: because that many devils had entered into him.
31 And they made a request to him that he would not give them an order to go away into the deep. (Abyssos g12)
And they besought from him that he would not cast them out to go into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Now there was a great herd of pigs in that place, getting food on the mountain: and the evil spirits made a request to him that he would let them go into the pigs, and he let them.
Now there was there a great herd of many swine which fed on the hill: and they besought from him that he would permit them to enter into the swine. And he permitted them.
33 And the evil spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs: and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the water and came to destruction.
And the demons went forth from the man, and entered into the swine; and the whole herd went directly to the precipice, and plunged into the waters, and were suffocated.
34 And when the men who took care of them saw what had come about, they went quickly and gave news of it in the town and the country.
And when the herdmen saw the thing that was done, they fled, and made known in the city and in the villages.
35 And they went out to see what had taken place, and they came to Jesus and saw the man out of whom the evil spirits had gone, seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, at the feet of Jesus; and fear came on them.
And the men went forth to see the thing which was done. And they came to Jeshu, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, clothed, sober, and sitting at the feet of Jeshu. And they feared.
36 And those who had seen it gave them an account of how the man who had the evil spirits was made well.
And they who had seen it showed to them how the man of the demon had been healed.
37 And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes made a request to him to go away from them; for they were in great fear: and he got into a boat and went back.
And the whole multitude of the Godroyee besought of Jeshu that he would go from them, because great fear had taken them. And he, Jeshu, ascended the ship, and returned from them.
38 But the man from whom the evil spirits had gone out had a great desire to be with him, but he sent him away, saying,
But he, the man from whom had gone forth the demons, besought of him that he might be with him. But Jeshu dismissed him, and said to him,
39 Go back to your house and let them have news of all the great things which God has done for you. And he went away, giving word through all the town of the great things which Jesus had done for him.
Return to thine house, and show what Aloha hath done for thee. And he went and proclaimed in every city what Jeshu had done for him.
40 And when Jesus went back, the people were glad to see him, for they were all waiting for him.
WHEN Jeshu returned, a great multitude received him: for they were all expecting him.
41 Then there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler in the Synagogue: and he went down at the feet of Jesus, desiring him to come to his house;
And a certain man whose name was Jorush, head of the synagogue, fell before the feet of Jeshu, and besought him to enter into his house;
42 For he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was near to death. But while he was on his way, the people were pushing to be near him.
for he had an only daughter, as a daughter of twelve years, and she was nigh unto death. And as Jeshu went with him, the great multitude pressed him.
43 And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had given all her money to medical men, and not one of them was able to make her well,
And a certain woman whose blood had gushed forth twelve years, she who among the physicians had spent all her substance, but could not be healed by any one,
44 Came after him and put her hand on the edge of his robe, and straight away the flowing of her blood was stopped.
approached him from behind, and touched the border of his garment, and immediately stood the flowing of her blood.
45 And Jesus said, Who was touching me? And when they all said, It is not I, Peter and those who were with him said, Master, the people are pushing round you on every side.
And Jeshu said, Who touched me? And when all denied, Shemun Kipha and those with him said, Raban, the crowd straiteneth and presseth thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 But Jesus said, Someone was touching me, for I had the feeling that power had gone out from me.
But he said, Some one hath touched me, for I know that power hath gone forth from me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not able to keep it secret, she came, shaking with fear, and falling down before him she made clear before all the people the reason for her touching him, and how she was made well straight away.
And she, the woman, when she saw that she was not hid, came trembling and fell (and) worshipped him. And she told before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how at once she had been healed.
48 And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.
But he, Jeshu, said to her, Be comforted, my daughter: thy faith hath saved thee, go in peace.
49 While he was still talking, someone came from the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, saying, Your daughter is dead; do not go on troubling the Master.
And while he was speaking, there came a man from the chief of the synagogue and said to him, Thy daughter is dead, weary not the Malphona.
50 But Jesus at these words said to him, Have no fear, only have faith, and she will be made well.
But Jeshu heard, and said to the father of the damsel, Fear not, only believe, and she lives!
51 And when he came to the house he did not let any man go in with him, but only Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and her mother.
But Jeshu came to the house, and he suffered no man to enter with him, save Shemun, and Jakub, and Juchanon, and the father of the damsel, and her mother.
52 And all the people were weeping and crying for her; but he said, Do not be sad, for she is not dead, but sleeping.
And they were all weeping and wailing for her; but Jeshu said, Weep not, for she is not dead, but asleep.
53 And they were laughing at him, being certain that she was dead.
And they laughed at him, for they knew that she was dead.
54 But he, taking her hand, said to her, My child, get up.
But he put every man forth without. And he took her by the hand, and called and said, Damsel, arise.
55 And her spirit came back to her and she got up straight away: and he gave orders that food was to be given to her.
And her spirit returned, and she arose. And he directed that they should give her to eat.
56 And her father and mother were full of wonder, but he gave orders to them to say nothing about it to anyone.
And her parents were astonished; but he cautioned them that no man they should tell what he had done.
