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,
It happened soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the Kingdom of God. With him were the twelve,
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 who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Maryam who was called Magdalitha, from whom seven demons had gone out;
3 and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to Him from their substance.
and Yokhan, the wife of Kuza, Herod' steward; Shushan; and many others; who provided for them from their possessions.
4 And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming to Him, He spoke by an allegory:
When a large crowd came together, and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke 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.
"The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 And other fell on the rock, and having sprung up, it withered, through having no moisture.
Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, choked it.
Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew 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.”
Other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit one hundred times." As he said these things, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
9 And His disciples were questioning Him, saying, “What may this allegory be?”
Then his disciples asked him, "What does this parable mean?"
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.
He said, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may 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 along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not 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.
Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
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.
That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
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.
That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, 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 one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who 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 hidden, that will not be revealed; nor anything secret, that will not be known and come to light.
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.”
So consider carefully how you listen. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has."
19 And there came to Him His mother and brothers, and they were not able to get to Him because of the multitude,
His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
20 and it was told Him, saying, “Your mother and Your brothers stand outside, wishing to see You”;
It was told him by some saying, "Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you."
21 and He answering said to them, “My mother and My brothers! They are those who are hearing the word of God, and doing.”
But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are these who 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 happened on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." So they launched out.
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. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
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,
So they came to him, and awoke him, saying, "Master, master, we are dying." And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was 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?”
He said to them, "Where is your faith?" But they were terrified and astonished, saying to one another, "Who is this, then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?"
26 And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes that is opposite Galilee,
They arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galila.
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 came out onto the land he was met by a certain man from the town who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and did not live in a 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 Yeshua, he shouted, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, "What do I have to do with you, Yeshua, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me."
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 Yeshua was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bands apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
30 And Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons were entered into him,
Yeshua asked him, "What is your name?" He said, "Legion," for many demons had entered into him.
They pleaded with him that he would not command them to go 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,
Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. He allowed 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.
The demons came out from the man, and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned.
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 those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, 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 people went out to see what had happened. They came to Yeshua, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Yeshua's feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.
Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons 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.
All the people of the surrounding region of the Geresenes asked him to leave them, for they were very much afraid; and he entered into the boat and returned.
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,
But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Yeshua 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 your house, and declare what great things God has done for you." He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Yeshua had done for him.
40 And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received Him, for they were all looking for Him,
When Yeshua returned, the crowd welcomed 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 look, there came a man named Yuarash, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Yeshua's feet, and pleaded with him to 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 an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the crowds pressed against 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,
A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years (who had spent all her living on physicians) and could not be healed by 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 fringe of his garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
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?”
Yeshua said, "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Kipha and those with him said, "Master, the crowds press and jostle you."
46 And Jesus said, “Someone touched Me, for I knew power having gone forth from Me.”
But Yeshua said, "Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has 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;
When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why 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.”
He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. 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 still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue's house came, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher."
50 and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid, only believe, and she will be saved.”
But Yeshua hearing it, answered him, "Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed."
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;
When he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter in with him, except Kipha, Yukhanan, Yaquv, the father of the child, and her mother.
52 and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and He said, “Do not weep, she did not die, but sleeps”;
All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Do not weep. She is not dead, but sleeping."
53 and they were deriding Him, knowing that she died;
They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
54 and He having put all forth outside, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, “Child, arise”;
But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, "Child, arise."
55 and her spirit came back, and she arose immediately, and He directed that there be given to her to eat;
Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
56 and her parents were amazed, but He charged them to say to no one what had come to pass.
