Luke 8
1 And it came to passe afterwarde, that hee himselfe went through euery citie and towne, preaching and publishing the kingdome of God, and the twelue were with him,
And it came to pass afterward, that he journeyed through cities and villages, preaching and publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him,
2 And certaine women, which were healed of euill spirites, and infirmities, as Mary which was called Magdalene, out of whom went seuen deuils,
and certain women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,
3 And Ioanna the wife of Chuza Herods steward, and Susanna, and many other which ministred vnto him of their substance.
and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who afforded them aid from their substance.
4 Nowe when much people were gathered together, and were come vnto him out of all cities, he spake by a parable.
And a great multitude collecting together, and people from the cities going out to him, he spoke by a parable:
5 A sower went out to sowe his seede, and as he sowed, some fell by the wayes side, and it was troden vnder feete, and the foules of heauen deuoured it vp.
A sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way-side; and they were trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured them.
6 And some fell on the stones, and when it was sprong vp, it withered away, because it lacked moystnesse.
And others fell upon rocky ground; and when they had sprung up they withered away, because they had no moisture.
7 And some fell among thornes, and the thornes sprang vp with it, and choked it.
And others fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up with them, and choked them.
8 And some fell on good ground, and sprang vp, and bare fruite, an hundreth folde. And as hee sayd these things, he cryed, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
And others fell upon good ground, and sprung up, and bore fruit, a hundred-fold. While saying these things, he cried aloud, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Then his disciples asked him, demaunding what parable that was.
And his disciples asked him what this parable meant.
10 And he sayd, Vnto you it is giuen to know the secrets of ye kingdome of God, but to other in parables, that when they see, they shoulde not see, and when they heare, they should not vnderstand.
And he said, To you it hath been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others [[these things are spoken]] in parables; that while seeing they may not see, and while hearing they may not understand.
11 The parable is this, The seede is the worde of God.
Now the meaning of the parable is this. The seed is the word of God.
12 And they that are beside the way, are they that heare: afterward commeth the deuill, and taketh away the worde out of their hearts, least they should beleeue, and be saued.
Those by the way-side are they that hear; then cometh the Devil and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
13 But they that are on the stones, are they which when they haue heard, receiue ye word with ioy: but they haue no rootes: which for a while beleeue, but in the time of tentation goe away.
Those on the rocky ground are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root; and for a while they believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among thornes, are they which haue heard, and after their departure are choked with cares and with riches, and voluptuous liuing, and bring forth no fruite.
And those seeds which fell among the thorns, these are they who, when they have heard, go away and are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that which fell in good ground, are they which with an honest and good heart heare the worde, and keepe it, and bring forth fruite with patience.
But the seeds on the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, when they have heard the word, hold it fast, and bear fruit with constancy.
16 No man when he hath lighted a candle, couereth it vnder a vessell, neither putteth it vnder the bed, but setteth it on a candlesticke, that they that enter in, may see the light.
And no one having lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be euident: neither any thing hid, that shall not be knowen, and come to light.
For nothing is secret, that will not be made manifest; nor hidden, that will not be known, and come to light.
18 Take heede therefore how ye heare: for whosoeuer hath, to him shall be giuen: and whosoeuer hath not, from him shalbe taken euen that which it seemeth that he hath.
Take heed therefore how ye hear; for whoever hath, to him will be given; and whoever hath not, from him will be taken even what he seemeth to have.
19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come neere to him for the preasse.
And his mother and his brothers came where he was, and could not get to him on account of the crowd.
20 And it was tolde him by certaine which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, and would see thee.
And word was brought to him, Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 But he answered, and sayd vnto them, My mother and my brethren are these which heare the worde of God, and doe it.
And he answering said to them, My mother and my brothers are these, who hear the word of God, and do it.
22 And it came to passe on a certaine day, that he went into a ship with his disciples, and he sayd vnto them, Let vs goe ouer vnto the other side of the lake. And they lanched forth.
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a boat with his disciples, and said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake; and they put off.
23 And as they sayled, he fell a sleepe, and there came downe a storme of winde on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in ieopardie.
But as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 Then they went to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we perish. And he arose, and rebuked the winde, and the waues of water: and they ceased, and it was calme.
And they came and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing! And he rose, and rebuked the wind, and the surging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 Then he sayde vnto them, Where is your fayth? and they feared, and wondered among them selues, saying, Who is this that commandeth both the windes and water, and they obey him!
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they were afraid, and wondered, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?
26 So they sailed vnto the region of the Gadarenes, which is ouer against Galile.
And they sailed to the country of the Gergesenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 And as he went out to land, there met him a certaine man out of the citie, which had deuils long time, and he ware no garment, neither abode in house, but in the graues.
And when he had landed, there met him a certain man out of the city who had demons, and for a long time had worn no clothes, and abode not in a house, but in the tombs.
28 And when he sawe Iesus, he cryed out and fell downe before him, and with a loude voyce sayd, What haue I to doe with thee, Iesus the Sonne of God the most High? I beseech thee torment me not.
And seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.
29 For he commanded ye foule spirit to come out of the man: (for oft times he had caught him: therefore he was bound with chaines, and kept in fetters: but he brake the bands, and was caried of the deuill into wildernesses.)
For he was about to command the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for it had possessed him for a long time, and he had been kept bound and secured with chains and fetters; and bursting the bands, he had been driven by the demon into the wilderness.
30 Then Iesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he sayd, Legion, because many deuils were entred into him.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; because many demons had entered into him.
And they besought him not to command them to go away into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 And there was there by, an hearde of many swine, feeding on an hill: and the deuils besought him, that he would suffer them to enter into them. So he suffered them.
Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain; and they besought him to permit them to go into them. And he permitted them.
33 Then went the deuils out of the man, and entred into the swine: and the hearde was caried with violence from a steepe downe place into the lake, and was choked.
And the demons coming out of the man went into the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.
34 When the heardmen sawe what was done, they fled: and when they were departed, they tolde it in the citie and in the countrey.
And the herdsmen, seeing what was done, fled, and told the news in the city and in the country.
35 Then they came out to see what was done, and came to Iesus, and found the man, out of whom the deuils were departed, sitting at the feete of Iesus, clothed, and in his right minde: and they were afrayd.
And they went out to see what had been done. And they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid.
36 They also which saw it, tolde them by what meanes he that was possessed with the deuill, was healed.
And they who had seen it told them how he that was possessed by demons was made well.
37 Then the whole multitude of the countrey about the Gadarenes, besought him that he would depart from them: for they were taken with a great feare: and he went into the ship, and returned.
And the whole multitude in the surrounding country of the Gergesenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he went on board a boat and returned.
38 Then the man, out of whome the deuils were departed, besought him that hee might be with him: but Iesus sent him away, saying,
And the man out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying,
39 Returne into thine owne house, and shewe what great things God hath done to thee. So hee went his way, and preached throughout all the citie, what great things Iesus had done vnto him.
Return to thy house, and tell what great things God hath done for thee. And he went and published through the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40 And it came to passe, when Iesus was come againe, that the people receiued him: for they all waited for him.
And it came to pass when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.
41 And beholde, there came a man named Iairus, and he was the ruler of the Synagogue, who fell downe at Iesus feete, and besought him that he would come into his house.
And lo! there came a man, named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he besought him to come into his house;
42 For he had but a daughter onely, about twelue yeeres of age, and she lay a dying (and as he went, the people thronged him.
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went, the multitudes thronged him.
43 And a woman hauing an yssue of blood, twelue yeeres long, which had spent all her substance vpon physicians, and could not be healed of any:
And a woman who had had an issue of blood twelve years, and had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be cured by any one,
44 When she came behind him, she touched the hemme of his garment, and immediatly her yssue of blood stanched.
came up behind and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her issue of blood ceased.
45 Then Iesus sayd, Who is it that hath touched me? When euery man denied, Peter sayd and they that were with him, Master, the multitude thrust thee, and tread on thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me?
And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied it, Peter and those with him said, Master, the multitudes are thronging thee, and pressing against thee.
46 And Iesus sayde, Some one hath touched me: for I perceiue that vertue is gone out of me.
But Jesus said, Some one touched me; for I perceived that power went out from me.
47 When the woman sawe that she was not hid, she came trembling, and fell downe before him, and tolde him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediatly.
And the woman, seeing that she was discovered, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was cured immediately.
48 And he said vnto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath saued thee: go in peace.)
And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace.
49 While he yet spake, there came one from the ruler of the Synagogues house, which sayde to him, Thy daughter is dead: disease not the Master.
While he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher any further.
50 When Iesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Feare not: beleeue onely, and she shall be saued.
But Jesus hearing this, answered him, Fear not; only believe, and she will be made well.
51 And when he went into the house, he suffered no man to goe in with him, saue Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and the father and mother of the maide.
And going into the house, he suffered no one to go in with him but Peter and John and James, and the father of the maiden, and the mother.
52 And all wept, and sorowed for her: but he sayd, Weepe not: for she is not dead, but sleepeth.
And all were weeping, and lamenting for her. But he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeping.
53 And they laught him to scorne, knowing that she was dead.
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 So he thrust them all out, and tooke her by the hand, and cryed, saying, Maide, arise.
But he took hold of her hand, and called aloud, saying, Maiden, arise!
55 And her spirite came againe, and she rose straightway: and he comanded to giue her meate.
And her spirit returned, and she immediately arose. And he ordered food to be given to her.
56 Then her parents were astonied: but hee commanded them that they should tell no man what was done.
And her parents were amazed. But he charged them to tell no one what had been done.
