Luke 8
1 And it came to pass thereafter, that He was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the Kingdom of God, and the Twelve [are] with Him,
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 and certain women who were healed of evil spirits and sicknesses, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,
And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3 and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to Him from their substance.
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
4 And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming to Him, He spoke by an allegory:
And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
5 “The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
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.
6 And other fell on the rock, and having sprung up, it withered, through having no moisture.
And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, choked it.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 And other fell on the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit a hundredfold.” Saying these things, He was calling, “He having ears to hear—let him hear.”
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.
9 And His disciples were questioning Him, saying, “What may this allegory be?”
And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in allegories, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
11 And this is the allegory: the seed is the word of God,
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 and those beside the way are those hearing, then comes the Devil, and takes up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.
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.
13 And those on the rock: they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
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.
14 And that which fell to the thorns: these are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and do not bear to completion.
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.
15 And that in the good ground: these are they who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.
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.
16 And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel, or puts [it] under a bed; but he puts [it] on a lampstand, that those coming in may see the light,
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.
17 for nothing is secret, that will not become visible, nor hid, that will not be known and become visible.
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 See, therefore, how you hear, for whoever may have, there will be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seems to have will be taken from him.”
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.
19 And there came to Him His mother and brothers, and they were not able to get to Him because of the multitude,
Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
20 and it was told Him, saying, “Your mother and Your brothers stand outside, wishing to see You”;
And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 and He answering said to them, “My mother and My brothers! They are those who are hearing the word of God, and doing.”
And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 And it came to pass, on one of the days, that He Himself went into a boat with His disciples, and He said to them, “We may go over to the other side of the lake”; and they set forth,
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.
23 and as they are sailing He fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.
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.
24 And having come near, they awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we perish!” And He, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,
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.
25 and He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they being afraid wondered, saying to one another, “Who, then, is this, that He even commands the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”
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.
26 And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes that is opposite Galilee,
And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 and He having gone forth on the land, there met Him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and was not clothed with a garment, and was not abiding in a house, but in the tombs,
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.
28 and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before Him, and with a loud voice, said, “What [regards] me and You, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I implore You, may You not afflict me!”
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
29 For He commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and shackles—guarded, and breaking apart the bonds he was driven by the demons into the deserts.
( 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.)
30 And Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons were entered into him,
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 and there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they were calling on Him that He might permit them to enter into these, and He permitted them,
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.
33 and the demons having gone forth from the man, entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.
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.
34 And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the fields;
When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35 and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;
Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.
They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37 And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes asked Him to go away from them, because they were pressed with great fear, and He having entered into the boat, turned back.
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.
38 And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was imploring of Him to be with Him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,
Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 “Return to your house, and tell how God did great things to you”; and he went away through all the city proclaiming how Jesus did great things to him.
Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
40 And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received Him, for they were all looking for Him,
And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41 and behold, there came a man whose name [is] Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on Him to come to his house,
And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:
42 because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in His going away, the multitudes were thronging Him,
For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43 and a woman, being with a flow of blood for twelve years, who, having spent all her living on physicians, was not able to be healed by any,
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 having come near behind, touched the fringe of His garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stood still.
Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, “Who [is] it that touched Me?” And all denying, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press You, and throng [You], and You say, Who [is] it that touched Me?”
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, “Someone touched Me, for I knew power having gone forth from Me.”
And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before Him, for what cause she touched Him declared to Him before all the people, and how she was healed instantly;
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.
48 and He said to her, “Take courage, daughter, your faith has saved you, be going on to peace.”
And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
49 While He is yet speaking, there comes a certain one from the chief of the synagogue’s [house], saying to him, “Your daughter has died, do not harass the Teacher”;
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.
50 and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid, only believe, and she will be saved.”
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 And having come into the house, He permitted no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;
And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and He said, “Do not weep, she did not die, but sleeps”;
And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 and they were deriding Him, knowing that she died;
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 and He having put all forth outside, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, “Child, arise”;
And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 and her spirit came back, and she arose immediately, and He directed that there be given to her to eat;
And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 and her parents were amazed, but He charged them to say to no one what had come to pass.
And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
