And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
2 And when he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.
3 who had his dwelling in the tombs; and not even with a chain could any one bind him any longer;
He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;
4 because he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been snapped asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces; and no one could master him;
Because he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.
5 and continually, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself, with stones.
And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and bowed down before him,
And when he saw Jesus from far off, he went quickly to him and gave him worship;
7 and cried out with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, do not torment me.
And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.
8 For he was saying to him, Unclean spirit, come out from the man.
For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he saith to him, Legion is my name; for we are many.
And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.
10 And he besought him much not to send them out of the country.
And he made strong prayers to him not to send them away out of the country.
11 Now there was there, by the mountain, a great herd of swine feeding.
Now on the mountain side there was a great herd of pigs getting their food.
12 And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
And they said to him, Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.
13 And he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits coming out, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, about two thousand, and were drowned in the lake.
And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.
14 And they that fed them fled, and told the news in the city and in the country. And they came to see what had been done.
And their keepers went running and gave an account of it in the town and in the country. And people came to see what had taken place.
15 And they come to Jesus, and see him who had been possessed by demons, sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, —him who had had the legion; and they were afraid.
And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.
16 And they who saw it told them how it befell him that was possessed by the demons, and concerning the swine.
And those who had seen it gave them an account of what had been done to him who had the evil spirits, and of the fate of the pigs.
17 And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders.
And they made a request to him to go out of their country.
18 And when he was going on board the boat, he that had been possessed by the demons besought him that be might be with him.
And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.
19 And he did not permit him, but said to him, Go to thy house to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and that he hath had compassion on thee.
And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how 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 wondered.
And he went on his way, and made public in the country of Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men were full of wonder.
21 And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the ether side, a great multitude gathered about him; and he was by the lake.
And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.
22 And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
And one of the rulers of the Synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and seeing him, went down at his feet,
23 and besought him much, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death; I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be saved and live.
And made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.
24 And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and pressed upon him.
And he went with him; and a great number of people went after him, and came round him.
25 And a woman, who had had an issue of blood twelve years,
And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,
26 and had undergone much at the hands of many physicians, and spent all that she had, and was not at all benefited, but rather grew worse,
And had undergone much at the hands of a number of medical men, and had given all she had, and was no better, but even worse,
27 having heard about Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment.
When she had news of the things which Jesus did, went among the people coming after him, and put her hand on his robe.
28 For she said, If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well.
For she said, If I may only put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.
29 And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she perceived in her body that she was cured of her plague.
And straight away the fountain of her blood was stopped, and she had a feeling in her body that her disease had gone and she was well.
30 And Jesus immediately perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, turned round in the crowed, and said, Who touched my garments?
And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?
31 And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the multitude pressing on thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?
And his disciples said to him, You see the people round you on every side, and you say, Who was touching me?
32 And he looked round to see her who had done this.
And on his looking round to see her who had done this thing,
33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.
34 And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace, and be recovered from thy plague.
And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be free from your disease.
35 While he was yet speaking, there came from the house I of the ruler of the synagogue some who said, Thy daughter is dead; why dost thou trouble the Teacher any further?
And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?
36 And Jesus, overhearing those words, saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not; only believe.
But Jesus, giving no attention to their words, said to the ruler of the Synagogue, Have no fear, only have faith.
37 And he suffered no one to follow him except Peter and James, and John the brother of James.
And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.
38 And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing greatly.
And they came to the house of the ruler of the Synagogue; and he saw people running this way and that, and weeping and crying loudly.
39 And going in, he saith to them, Why do ye make this confusion and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping.
And when he had gone in, he said to them, Why are you making such a noise and weeping? The child is not dead, but sleeping.
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But putting them all out, he taketh the father of the child, and the mother, and those who were with him, and entereth where the child was.
And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 And taking hold of the hand of the child, he saith to her, Talitha, kum; which is, when interpreted, Damsel, I say to thee, arise!
And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.
42 And immediately the damsel arose and walked; for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were greatly astonished.
And the young girl got up straight away, and was walking about; she being twelve years old. And they were overcome with wonder.
43 And he charged them strictly that no one should know it, and bade that something should be given her to eat.
And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.
