Mark 5
1 And they came over to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes.
2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
And when He got out of the boat, right away a man with an unclean spirit met Him, coming from the tombs.
3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
—He had his dwelling among the tombs. No one could bind him, not even with chains,
4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
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.
5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.—
6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and kneeled down to Him,
7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the most high God? I adjure you by God, that you torment me not.
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!”
8 For he said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.
Because He was saying to him, “You unclean spirit, come out of the man!”
9 And he asked him, What is your name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
Then He asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “Legion is my name, because we are many.”
10 And he sought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
He started begging Him repeatedly that He would not send them out of that region.
11 Now there was there near to the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside.
12 And all the devils sought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
So all the demons begged Him saying, “Send us into the pigs, so that we may enter them.”
13 And immediately Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand; ) and were choked in the sea.
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.
14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
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.
15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
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.
16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
Those who had seen it related to them how it happened to the demonized man, and about the pigs.
17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
Then they began to implore Him to depart from their borders.
18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
Well upon His getting into the boat, the man who had been demonized started begging Him that he might be with Him.
19 However, Jesus suffered him not, but says to him, Go home to your friends, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for you, and has had compassion on you.
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.”
20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
So he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him; and all were marveling.
21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship to the other side, much people gathered to him: and he was near to the sea.
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.
22 And, behold, there comes one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
And then, one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, comes, and upon finding Him he falls at His feet
23 And sought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death: I pray you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
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.”
24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
So He went with him. A large crowd was also following Him, and they were pressing around Him.
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
Now a certain woman—who had been bleeding for twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
and had suffered many things under many doctors, and had spent all that she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse—
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
when she heard about Jesus, she came from behind in the crowd and touched His garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
(She had kept saying, “If I can just touch His clothes, I will be healed.”)
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she was healed from the affliction.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
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?”
31 And his disciples said to him, You see the multitude thronging you, and say you, Who touched me?
So His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’?”
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
But He kept looking around to see who had done it.
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.
So the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.
34 And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you whole; go in peace, and be whole of your plague.
And He said to her: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go into peace and be healed from your affliction.”
35 While he yet spoke, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Your daughter is dead: why trouble you the Master any further?
While He was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler's house saying: “Your daughter died. Why trouble the teacher further?”
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he says to the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
But immediately upon hearing the spoken message Jesus said to the synagogue ruler, “Don't be afraid; just believe!”
37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
He allowed no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
38 And he comes to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and sees the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
Then He came to the synagogue ruler's house and found a commotion—weeping and loud wailing.
39 And when he was come in, he says to them, Why make you this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleeps.
So upon entering He said to them: “Why are you making such a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but is asleep.”
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he takes the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and enters in where the damsel was lying.
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.
41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said to her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say to you, arise.
And taking the child by the hand He said to her, “Talitha koumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
Immediately the girl got up and started walking around (she was twelve years old). And they were overcome with great amazement.
43 And he charged them straightly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
He gave them strict orders that no one should know about it, and said to give her something to eat.
