< Mark 5 >

1 And they came over the strait of the sea into the country of the Gerasens.
And they came to the other side of the sea, into the territory of the Gerasenes.
2 And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the monuments a man with an unclean spirit,
And when he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.
3 Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains.
He lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain.
4 For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him.
For he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. No one had the strength to tame him.
5 And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.
And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6 And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him.
And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
7 And crying with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus the Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not.
and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."
8 For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
For he had been saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit."
9 And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is Legion, for we are many.
And then he asked him, "What is your name?" And he replied, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
10 And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of the country.
And he pleaded with Jesus repeatedly not to send them away out of the region.
11 And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine, feeding.
Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.
12 And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
And they begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."
13 And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits going out, entered into the swine: and the herd with great violence was carried headlong into the sea, being about two thousand, and were stifled in the sea.
And he gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs; and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
14 And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the fields. And they went out to see what was done:
And those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And the people went to see what it was that had happened.
15 And they came to Jesus, and they see him that was troubled with the devil, sitting, clothed, and well in his wits, and they were afraid.
And they came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.
16 And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine.
And those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
17 And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts.
And then they began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.
18 And when he went up into the ship, he that had been troubled with the devil, began to beseech him that he might be with him.
As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons pleaded with him that he might be with him.
19 And he admitted him not, but saith to him: Go into thy house to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had mercy on thee.
However, Jesus did not allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your own, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."
20 And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men wondered.
So he went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone was amazed.
21 And when Jesus had passed again in the ship over the strait, a great multitude assembled together unto him, and he was nigh unto the sea.
And when Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a large crowd was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
22 And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue named Jairus: and seeing him, falleth down at his feet.
One of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
23 And he besought him much, saying: My daughter is at the point of death, come, lay thy hand upon her, that she may be safe, and may live.
and pleaded with him repeatedly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."
24 And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.
And he went with him, and a large crowd followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.
25 And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years,
Now a woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things from many physicians; and had spent all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse,
and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment.
having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.
28 For she said: If I shall touch but his garment, I shall be whole.
For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well."
29 And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil.
And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
30 And immediately Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had proceeded from him, turning to the multitude, said: Who hath touched my garments?
And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou who hath touched me?
And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"
32 And he looked about to see her who had done this.
He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
34 And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be thou whole of thy disease.
And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."
35 While he was yet speaking, some come from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying: Thy daughter is dead: why dost thou trouble the master any further?
While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"
36 But Jesus having heard the word that was spoken, saith to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not, only believe.
But Jesus, overhearing the message spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, only believe."
37 And he admitted not any man to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
And he allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38 And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing much.
And they came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
39 And going in, he saith to them: Why make you this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
And when he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But he having put them all out, taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
And they ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise.
And taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha koum," which translated means, "Little girl, I tell you, get up."
42 And immediately the damsel rose up, and walked: and she was twelve years old: and they were astonished with a great astonishment.
And immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were overcome with amazement.
43 And he charged them strictly that no man should know it: and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
And he strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
