Mark 5
1 And they came to the other side of the lake, into the territory of the Gerasenes.
They came to the other side of the sea – the region of the Gerasenes;
2 And when he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.
and, as soon as Jesus had got out of the boat, he met a man coming out of the tombs, who was under the power of a foul spirit,
3 He lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain.
and who made his home in the tombs. No one had ever been able to secure him, even with a chain;
4 For he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. No one had the strength to tame him.
for, though he had many times been left secured with fetters and chains, he had snapped the chains and broken the fetters to pieces, and no one could master him.
5 And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
Night and day alike, he was continually shrieking in the tombs and among the hills, and cutting himself with stones.
6 And when he saw Yeshua from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed to the ground before him,
7 and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Yeshua, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."
shrieking out in a loud voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? For God’s sake do not torment me!”
8 For he had been saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit."
For Jesus had said, “Come out from the man, you foul spirit.”
9 And then he asked him, "What is your name?" And he replied, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
And he asked him, “What is your name?” “My name,” he said, “is Legion, for there are many of us;”
10 And he pleaded with Yeshua repeatedly not to send them away out of the region.
and he begged Jesus again and again not to send them away out of that country.
11 Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.
There was a large herd of pigs close by, feeding on the hillside;
12 And they begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."
and the spirits begged Jesus, “Send us into the pigs so that we can take possession of them.”
13 And he gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs; and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and they were drowned in the lake.
Jesus gave them leave. They came out, and entered into the pigs; and the herd – about two thousand in number – rushed down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea.
14 And those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And the people went to see what it was that had happened.
Then the men who tended them ran away, and carried the news to the town, and to the country around; and the people went to see what had happened.
15 And they came to Yeshua, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.
When they came to Jesus, they found the possessed man sitting there, clothed and in his right mind – the man who had had the ‘Legion’ in him – and they were awe-struck.
16 And those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
Then those who had seen it related to them all that had happened to the possessed man, as well as about the pigs;
17 And then they began to plead with Yeshua to leave their region.
so they began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
18 As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons pleaded with him that he might be with him.
As Jesus was getting into the boat, the possessed man begged him to let him stay with him.
19 However, Yeshua did not allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your own, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."
But Jesus refused. “Go back to your home, to your own people,” he said, “and tell them of all that the Lord has done for you, and how he took pity on you.”
20 So he went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Yeshua had done great things for him, and everyone was amazed.
So the man went, and began to proclaim in the district of the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.
21 And when Yeshua had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a large crowd was gathered to him; and he was by the lake.
By the time Jesus had recrossed in the boat to the opposite shore, a great number of people had gathered to meet him, and were standing by the sea.
22 One of the rulers of the synagogue, Yuarash by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
One of the leaders of the synagogue, whose name was Jairus, came and, as soon as he saw Jesus, threw himself at his feet and begged him repeatedly,
23 and pleaded with him repeatedly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."
saying, “My little daughter is at death’s door. Please come and place your hands on her so that she may recover and live.”
24 And he went with him, and a large crowd followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.
So Jesus went with him. A great number of people followed Jesus, and kept pressing around him.
25 Now a woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,
Meanwhile a woman who for twelve years had suffered from hemorrhage,
26 and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
and undergone much at the hands of many doctors, (spending all she had without obtaining any relief, but, on the contrary, growing worse),
27 having heard the things concerning Yeshua, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.
heard about Jesus, came behind in the crowd, and touched his cloak.
28 For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well."
“If I can only touch his clothes,” she said, “I will get well!”
29 And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
At once her bleeding stopped, and she felt in herself that she was cured of her affliction.
30 And immediately Yeshua, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
Jesus at once became aware of the power that had gone out from him, and, turning around in the crowd, he said, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"
“You see the people pressing around you,” exclaimed his disciples, “and yet you say ‘Who touched me?’”
32 He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
But Jesus looked about to see who had done it.
33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
Then the woman, in fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself down before him, and told him the whole truth.
34 And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."
“Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you; be free from your affliction.”
35 While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"
Before he had finished speaking, some people from the house of the synagogue leader came and said, “Your daughter is dead! Why should you trouble the teacher further?”
36 But Yeshua, overhearing the message spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, only believe."
But Jesus, overhearing what they were saying, said to the synagogue leader, “Do not be afraid; only have faith.”
37 And he allowed no one to follow him, except Kipha, Yaquv, and Yukhanan the brother of Yaquv.
And he allowed no one to accompany him, except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
38 And they came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
Presently they reached the leader’s house, where Jesus saw a scene of confusion – people weeping and wailing incessantly.
39 And when he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."
“Why this confusion and weeping?” he said on entering. “The little child is not dead; she is asleep.”
40 And they ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
They began to laugh at him; but he sent them all out, and then, with the child’s father and mother and his companions, went into the room where she was lying.
41 And taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha qum," which translated means, "Little girl, I tell you, get up."
Taking her hand, Jesus said to her, “Talitha, koum!” – which means ‘little girl, I am speaking to you – Rise!’
42 And immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were overcome with amazement.
The little girl stood up at once, and began to walk about; for she was twelve years old. And, as soon as they saw it, they were overwhelmed with amazement;
43 And he strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
but Jesus repeatedly cautioned them not to let anyone know of it, and told them to give her something to eat.
