Mark 5
1 They arrived on the other side of the lake in the region of the Gerasenes.
And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2 When Jesus got out of the boat a man with an evil spirit came from the graveyard to meet him.
And when He was come out of the ship, immediately there met Him from the tombs,
3 This man lived among the tombs, and it had been impossible to tie him up any more, even with a chain.
a man with an impure spirit, who kept among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains:
4 He had often been tied up with chains and shackles, but he simply tore the chains apart and broke the shackles into pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him.
for he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been pulled asunder by him, and the fetters broken; and no man could tame him:
5 Day and night he was always shouting out among the tombs and in the hills nearby, cutting himself with sharp stones.
and he was always night and day upon the hills and among the sepulchres bawling, and gashing himself with stones.
6 Seeing Jesus from a distance he ran and kneeled in front of him.
But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped Him,
7 In a loud voice he cried out, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of Almighty God? Swear by God that you won't torture me!”
and crying out with a loud voice said, Jesus thou Son of the most high God, what have I to do with thee? I adjure thee by God, that thou wouldst not torment me:
8 For Jesus had already told the evil spirit to leave the man.
(for He said to him, Thou impure spirit, come out of the man.)
9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is Legion, because we are many!” he replied.
And He asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
10 He also repeatedly pleaded with Jesus not to send them a long way away.
And he earnestly intreated Him, that He would not send them out of that country.
11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the hillside nearby.
Now there was a great herd of swine feeding upon the mountains:
12 The evil spirits pleaded with him, “Send us into the pigs so we can enter them.”
and all the demons intreated Him, saying, Send us to the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 Jesus allowed them to do this. The evil spirits left the man and went into the pigs. The whole herd, about two thousand, rushed down the steep cliff into the sea and drowned.
And immediately Jesus permitted them: and the impure spirits went out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd (which were about two thousand, ) ran violently down a precipice into the sea, and were suffocated.
14 The pig-keepers ran away, and spread the news all over town and in the countryside. People came out to see what had happened.
And they that were feeding the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what was done:
15 When they found Jesus they saw the man who had been demon-possessed sitting there, dressed, and in his right mind—the one who had the legion of evil spirits—and they became frightened!
and they come to Jesus, and see the demoniac, who had been possessed by the legion, sitting and clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16 Then those who had seen what had happened to the man who had been demon-possessed and the pigs told the others.
And when those that saw it told them what had happened to the demoniac,
17 They began pleading with Jesus to leave their district.
and concerning the swine, they intreated Him to depart from their borders.
18 As Jesus climbed into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him.
And as He went into the ship, the demoniac intreated Him that he might be with Him:
19 But Jesus refused, telling him, “Go home to your own people, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how he has been merciful to you.”
but Jesus did not permit him; but saith to him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee:
20 So the man went on his way and began to tell the people of the Ten Cities everything Jesus had done for him, and everyone was amazed.
and he departed, and published in Decapolis, how great things Jesus had done for him, and they were all amazed.
21 Jesus went back again by boat to the other side of the lake where a large crowd gathered around him at the shore.
And when Jesus passed over again in the ship to the other side, a great multitude was gathered unto Him, nigh unto the sea.
22 A synagogue leader, a man named Jairus, came to him. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet
And behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus; and as soon as he saw Him, he fell at his feet,
23 and pleaded with him, saying, “My little daughter is about to die. Please come and place your hands on her so she may be healed and live.”
and earnestly intreated Him, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death, I beseech thee that thou wouldst come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.
24 So Jesus went with him. Everybody followed, crowding and jostling him.
So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him, and pressed about Him.
25 A woman was there who had been ill from bleeding for twelve years.
And a woman who had been in a flux twelve years,
26 She'd suffered considerably under the care of many doctors, and had spent all she had. But nothing helped her—in fact she'd grown worse.
and had suffered a great deal from many physicians, and spent all that she had, and received no benefit, but rather grew worse,
27 She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd, and touched his cloak.
when she heard of Jesus, came behind Him in the croud, and touched his garment; for she said,
28 She was telling herself, “If I can just touch his cloak, I'll be healed.”
If I can but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.
29 The bleeding stopped immediately, and she felt her body healed from her disease.
And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt within herself that she was healed of the disorder.
30 Jesus, sensing at once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my cloak?”
And immediately Jesus, knowing in Himself that power was gone out of Him, turned about in the croud and said, Who touched my clothes?
31 “Look at the crowd jostling you. What do you mean, ‘Who touched me?’” the disciples replied.
And his disciples said unto Him, Thou seest the multitude crouding about thee, and dost thou ask, Who touched me?
32 But Jesus went on looking around to see who had done it.
and He looked round about to see who had done it.
33 The woman, realizing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
But the woman being afraid and trembling, as knowing what had been done in her, came and prostrated herself to Him, and told Him all the truth:
34 “My daughter, your trust in me has healed you. Go in peace. You have been completely cured of your disease,” Jesus told her.
and He said to her, Daughter, thy faith has saved thee; go in peace, and be healed of thy disorder.
35 While he was still speaking some people came from the home of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “You don't need to bother the Teacher any longer.”
While He was yet speaking, there came some from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter is dead, why dost thou trouble the Master any more?
36 But Jesus paid no attention to what they said. He told the synagogue leader, “Don't be afraid, just trust in me.”
But Jesus hearing the word that was spoken, immediately saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe:
37 He wouldn't let anyone go with him except Peter, James, and James' brother John.
and He suffered none to go along with Him, but Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 When they arrived at the synagogue leader's house, Jesus saw all the commotion, with people crying and wailing.
And He cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, people weeping and lamenting greatly:
39 He went in and asked them, “Why are you making such a commotion with all this crying? The little girl isn't dead, she's just sleeping.”
and when He was come in, He saith unto them, Why do ye take on thus and weep? the child is not dead, but asleep.
40 They laughed scornfully at him. Jesus made everyone leave. Then he went into the room where the little girl was lying, taking with him the child's father and mother, and the three disciples.
And they laughed at Him: but when He had turned them all out, He taketh the father, and the mother of the child, and those three that were with Him, and goes in where the child was laid:
41 Taking the little girl's hand he said, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, get up!”
and taking hold of her hand, He saith unto her, Talitha, cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damsel, (I say unto thee) arise:
42 The little girl, who was twelve years old, got up immediately and began walking around. They were completely astonished at what had happened.
and immediately the damsel rose up and walked; for she was twelve years old; and they were struck with great astonishment.
43 He gave them strict instructions not to let anyone know, and he told them to give the little girl something to eat.
And He strictly charged them, that no one should know it: and bid them give her something to eat.
