< Mark 5 >

1 And they came to the other side of the lake, into the country of the Gerasenes.
And they cam over to the other syde of ye see in to the coutre of ye Gaderenites.
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 was come out of ye shippe there met him out of the graves a man possessyd of an vncleane sprete
3 who had his dwelling in the tombs; and not even with a chain could any one bind him any longer;
which had his abydinge amoge the graves. And no man coulde bynde him: no not with cheynes
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 that when he was often bounde wt fetters and cheynes he plucked ye chaynes asundre and brake the fetters in peaces. Nether coulde eny man tame him.
5 and continually, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself, with stones.
And alwayes bothe nyght and daye he cryed in ye moutaynes and in ye graves and bet himsilfe wt stones.
6 And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and bowed down before him,
When he had spied Iesus afarre of he rane and worshipped him
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 cryed wt a lowde voyce and sayde: what have I to do wt the Iesus ye sonne of the moost hyest God? I requyre ye in the name of God yt thou tormet me not.
8 For he was saying to him, Unclean spirit, come out from the man.
For he had sayd vnto hym: come out of the man thou fowle sprete.
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he saith to him, Legion is my name; for we are many.
And he axed him: what is thy name? And he answered sayinge: my name is Legion for we are many.
10 And he besought him much not to send them out of the country.
And he prayd him instantly that he wolde not sende the awaye out of the countre.
11 Now there was there, by the mountain, a great herd of swine feeding.
And ther was there nye vnto ye moutayns a greate heerd of swyne fedinge
12 And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
and all the devyls besought him sayinge: sende vs into the heerde of swyne yt we maye enter in to 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 anone Iesus gave them leave. And the vnclene spretes wet out and entred into ye swyne. And the heerd starteled and ran hedling into the see. They were about. ii. M. swyne and they were drouned in the see.
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 the swyne heerdes fleed and tolde it in ye cyte and in the countre. And they came out for to se what had hapened:
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 came to Iesus and sawe hym that was vexed wt the fende and had the legio syt both clothed and in his right mynde and were afrayed.
16 And they who saw it told them how it befell him that was possessed by the demons, and concerning the swine.
And they that sawe it tolde them how it had happened vnto him that was possessed with the devyll: and also of the swyne.
17 And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders.
And they begane to praye him that he wolde departe fro their coostes.
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 come in to the shyppe he that had ye devyll prayed him that he myght be 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.
Howbeit Iesus wolde not suffre him but sayde vnto him: goo home in to thyne awne housse and to thy frendes and shewe the what great thinges ye Lorde hath done vnto the and how he had copassion on the.
20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and all wondered.
And he departed and begane to publisshe in ye ten cyties what greate thinges Iesus had done vnto him and all me dyd merveyle.
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 Iesus was come over agayne by shyp vnto the other syde moche people gadered vnto him and he was nye vnto the see.
22 And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
And beholde ther came one of the rulers of ye Synagoge whose name was Iairus: and when he sawe him he fell doune at his fete
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 besought hym greatly sayinge: my doughter lyith at poynt of deeth I wolde thou woldest come and laye thy honde on her that she myght be safe and live.
24 And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and pressed upon him.
And he wet with him and moche people folowed him and thronged him.
25 And a woman, who had had an issue of blood twelve years,
And ther was a certen woman which was diseased of an yssue of bloude. xii. yeres
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 suffred many thinges of many phisicios and had spet all yt she had and felte none amendmet at all but wexed worsse and worsse.
27 having heard about Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment.
When she had herde of Iesus: she came into the preace behynde him and touched his garmet.
28 For she said, If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well.
For she thought: yf I maye but touche his clothes I shall be whole.
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 streyght waye her foutayne of bloude was dryed vp aud she felt in her body that she was healed of the plage.
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 Iesus immediatly felt in him silfe ye vertue that wet out of him and tourned him roude aboute in the preace and sayde: who touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the multitude pressing on thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?
And his disciples sayde vnto him: seist thou ye people thrust the and yet axest who dyd touche me?
32 And he looked round to see her who had done this.
And he loked roud about for to se her that had done that thinge.
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 feared and trembled (for she knew what was done with in her) and she came and fell doune before him and tolde him ye truth of everythinge.
34 And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace, and be recovered from thy plague.
And he sayde to her: Doughter thy fayth hath made the whoale: goo in peace and be whole of thy plage.
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?
Whyll he yet spake ther came fro the ruler of ye synagoges housse certayne which sayde: thy doughter is deed: why diseasest thou ye master eny further?
36 And Jesus, overhearing those words, saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not; only believe.
Assone as Iesus herde that worde spoke he sayde vnto the ruler of ye synagoge: be not afrayed only beleve.
37 And he suffered no one to follow him except Peter and James, and John the brother of James.
And he suffred no man to folowe him moo then Peter and Iames and Ihon the brother of Iames.
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 he came vnto the housse of the ruler of ye synagoge and sawe ye wondrynge and them that wepte and wayled greatly
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 went in and sayde vnto them: why make ye this adoo and wepe? The mayde is not deed but slepith.
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 lawght him to scorne. Then he put them all out and toke ye father and the mother of ye mayden and them that were with him and entred in where the mayden laye
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 toke the mayden by the honde and sayde vnto hyr: Tabitha cumi: which is by interpretacion: mayde I saye vnto the aryse.
42 And immediately the damsel arose and walked; for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were greatly astonished.
And streyght the mayden arose and went on her fete. For she was of the age of twelve yeres. And they were astonied at it out of measure.
43 And he charged them strictly that no one should know it, and bade that something should be given her to eat.
And he charged the straytely that no man shuld knowe of it and comaunded to geve her meate.
