Luke 8
1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of YHWH: and the twelve were with him,
It happened shortly afterwards that he began to go from town to town and village to village, preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God.
2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
The twelve were with him, and certain women whom he had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases. Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons have been driven,
3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many other women, who used to minister to him out of their substance.
4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
As a great crowd was gathering, and men of town after town kept restoring to him, he spoke a parable to them.
5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
"A sower went out to sow his seed, and as he sowed some fell by the wayside, and was trodden under foot, and the wild birds ate it up.
6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
"Some other seed dropped on the rock, as soon as it grew it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
"Another part fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
"But some fell on good soil, and grew up, and brought forth fruit, a hundredfold." When he said this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear with, let him listen."
9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
Then his disciples began to interrupt him, saying, "What does this parable mean?"
10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of YHWH: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
He answered. "To you it is given to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of God; But all others are taught in parables so that seeing they shall not see, and hearing they shall not hear.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of YHWH.
"This is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of God.
12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
"Those by the wayside are people who hear, but then comes the devil and carries off the word from their heart, so that they may not believe and not be saved.
13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
"Those on the rock are people who, upon hearing, receive the word with joy; but they have no root. For a time indeed they all believe, but in time of temptation they fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
"And that which fell upon thorns is those who have heard, but as they go on their way of word is choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of life; so they bring no fruit of perfection.
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
"And that in the good soil is those who have listened to the message and, in an honest and good heart, hold fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
"When he lights a lamp no one covers it with a vase or hides it under a bed; he puts it on a lamp-stand so whoever may behold the light.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
"For is nothing hidden that shall not be disclosed; there is nothing secret which shall not be made known and come to the light.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
"Take heed, then, how you listen. for he who has, to him shall it be given, but from him who has not, shall be taken away even what he has."
19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
There came to him his mother and his brothers, and they could not reach him because of the crowd.
20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
But some one told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you."
21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of YHWH, and do it.
"My mother and brothers," he answered, "are those who listen to the word of God and obey it."
22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
Now it happened that one of these days he got into a boat, And him his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us cross to the other side of the lake."
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
So they set sail. While they were sailing he fell asleep. And there fell on the lake a squall of wind, so that the boat began to fill, and they to be in deadly peril.
24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
Then they came to him and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are lost!" Then he awoke, and rebuked the winds and the raging of the sea. They ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
"Where is your faith?" he asked them, In their terror they were filled with amazement, and said to one another, "Who is this who commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him?"
26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
Then they put in at the country of Gadarenes, which is across from Galilee.
27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
When he landed here he was met by a certain townsman who was possessed by demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes and nor lived in any house, but in tombs.
28 When he saw Yahushua, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Yahushua, thou Son of Most High Elohim? I beseech thee, torment me not.
When he saw Jesus he cried out, and fell down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed. "What have we to do with you, Jesus, you son of God Most High? I implore you to torment me not!"
29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
For Jesus was already commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him and held him, and they again and again kept him under guard, and put him in chains and fetters. But he would break his bonds asunder, as he was driven by the demon in to the desert.
30 And Yahushua asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
So Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he answered, "Legion" (for many demons had entered into him).
So they besought Jesus not to command them to go away into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
Now there was a great herd of swine feeding on the hillside, and the demons begged him to give them leave to enter them. He gave them leave.
33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
The demons came out of the man, and entered into the swine; the herd rushed violently down over the cliff into the lake.
34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
And those who saw what had happened fled and reported it in the town and the villages.
35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Yahushua, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Yahushua, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
Then the people came out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the demons had gone sitting clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus. And they were terrified.
36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
Then those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been saved.
37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
And the whole populace of Gadarenes and the surrounding territory besought Jesus to go away from them; for they were terror-stricken. So he entered a boat and returned.
38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Yahushua sent him away, saying,
But the man out of whom the demons had gone kept begging him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away saying,
39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things YHWH hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Yahushua had done unto him.
"Return to your home, and tell them all that God has done for you." So he went away and throughout the whole city he published how much Jesus had done for him.
40 And it came to pass, that, when Yahushua was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
And as Jesus returned the crowd welcomed him;
41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Yahushua ' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:
for they were all waiting for him. Just then there came a man named Jarius, and he was ruler in the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come into his house;
42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
for he had only one daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he went the crowds continued to press in on him.
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
And a woman who for twelve years had had a hemorrhage, and had spent on doctors all that she had, but none had cured her,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
came close behind him, and touched the hem of his garment; and instantly the hemorrhage ceased.
45 And Yahushua said, Who touched me? When all denied, Kepha and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
"Who is that touched me?" said Jesus and when everybody denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing upon you."
46 And Yahushua said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
But Jesus said. "Some one did touch me; for I perceived that the power was proceeding out of me."
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediately.
Then the woman, who saw that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and falling down before him, stated before the people for what reason she had touched him, and how she had been instantly healed.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
"Daughter," he said "your faith has made you well, go on into peace."
49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
As he was speaking some one came from the house of the synagogue, saying. "Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Master."
50 But when Yahushua heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
But Jesus heard and answered. "Have no fear. Only believe, and she shall be restored."
51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Kepha, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
So he came to the house, and would not permit anyone to go in with him except Peter and Johnand James, and the father and Mother of the little girl.
52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
The people were weeping and bewailing her, but he said. "Stop your wailing; for she is not dead, but asleep."
53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
They began to laugh him to scorn, because they knew well that she was dead.
54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
But he took her by the hand and called to her, "Little daughter, rise!"
55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
And her spirit returned and instantly she stood up.
56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
He bade them to get her some food. Her parents were amazed; but he forbade them to tell any one what had been done.
