Mark 5
1 Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes.
And they came over the strait of the sea into the country of the Gerasens.
2 And when He got out of the boat, right away a man with an unclean spirit met Him, coming from the tombs.
And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the monuments a man with an unclean spirit,
3 —He had his dwelling among the tombs. No one could bind him, not even with chains,
Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains.
4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, only to have had the chains torn apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; no one had been strong enough to tame him.
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.
5 Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.—
And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and kneeled down to Him,
And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him.
7 and with a loud cry he said: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore you by God, don't torment me!”
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.
8 Because He was saying to him, “You unclean spirit, come out of the man!”
For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
9 Then He asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “Legion is my name, because we are many.”
And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is Legion, for we are many.
10 He started begging Him repeatedly that He would not send them out of that region.
And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of the country.
11 Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside.
And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine, feeding.
12 So all the demons begged Him saying, “Send us into the pigs, so that we may enter them.”
And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 And forthwith Jesus gave them permission; and coming out the unclean spirits went into the pigs (there were about two thousand); but the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned by the sea.
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.
14 So those who were tending the pigs ran off and reported it in the town and the countryside. And they went out to see what it was that had happened.
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:
15 They came to Jesus and observed the man who had been demonized, who had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
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.
16 Those who had seen it related to them how it happened to the demonized man, and about the pigs.
And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine.
17 Then they began to implore Him to depart from their borders.
And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts.
18 Well upon His getting into the boat, the man who had been demonized started begging Him that he might be with Him.
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.
19 But Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your family and report to them how much the Lord has done for you; and He had mercy on you.”
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.
20 So he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him; and all were marveling.
And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men wondered.
21 Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered to Him; and He was by the sea.
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.
22 And then, one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, comes, and upon finding Him he falls at His feet
And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue named Jairus: and seeing him, falleth down at his feet.
23 and pleads earnestly with Him, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; do come and lay your hands on her so that she may be saved, and she will live.”
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.
24 So He went with him. A large crowd was also following Him, and they were pressing around Him.
And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.
25 Now a certain woman—who had been bleeding for twelve years,
And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years,
26 and had suffered many things under many doctors, and had spent all that she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse—
And had suffered many things from many physicians; and had spent all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse,
27 when she heard about Jesus, she came from behind in the crowd and touched His garment.
When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment.
28 (She had kept saying, “If I can just touch His clothes, I will be healed.”)
For she said: If I shall touch but his garment, I shall be whole.
29 Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she was healed from the affliction.
And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil.
30 And instantly Jesus perceived within Himself that some power had gone out of Him, and turning around in the crowd He said, “Who touched my clothes?”
And immediately Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had proceeded from him, turning to the multitude, said: Who hath touched my garments?
31 So His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’?”
And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou who hath touched me?
32 But He kept looking around to see who had done it.
And he looked about to see her who had done this.
33 So the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.
But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 And He said to her: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go into peace and be healed from your affliction.”
And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be thou whole of thy disease.
35 While He was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler's house saying: “Your daughter died. Why trouble the teacher further?”
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?
36 But immediately upon hearing the spoken message Jesus said to the synagogue ruler, “Don't be afraid; just believe!”
But Jesus having heard the word that was spoken, saith to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not, only believe.
37 He allowed no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
And he admitted not any man to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 Then He came to the synagogue ruler's house and found a commotion—weeping and loud wailing.
And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing much.
39 So upon entering He said to them: “Why are you making such a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but is asleep.”
And going in, he saith to them: Why make you this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
40 But they started ridiculing Him. After He put them all out, He took the child's father and mother, and those with Him, and went in where the child was lying.
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.
41 And taking the child by the hand He said to her, “Talitha koumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise.
42 Immediately the girl got up and started walking around (she was twelve years old). And they were overcome with great amazement.
And immediately the damsel rose up, and walked: and she was twelve years old: and they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43 He gave them strict orders that no one should know about it, and said to give her something to eat.
And he charged them strictly that no man should know it: and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
