Luke 8
1 And it came to pass, in due course, that he was passing through, city by city and village by village, proclaiming, and delivering the glad-message of the kingdom of God, —and, the twelve, were with him;
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 and certain women, who had been cured from evil spirits and infirmities, —Mary, the one 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 Joana, wife of Chuza steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, —who indeed were ministering unto them out of their possessions.
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered to him of their substance.
4 And, seeing that a great multitude were coming together, and they who from every city were journeying forth unto him, he spake through means of a parable: —
And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:
5 The sower went forth to sow his seed, —and, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell beside the pathway, and was trodden down; and, the birds of heaven, 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 down upon the rock; and, growing, was withered, because it had not moisture.
And some fell on a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 And, other, fell and thorns; and, growing together, the thorns, choked it.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 And, other, fell into good ground; and, growing, brought forth fruit, a hundredfold. These things, saying, he went on to cry aloud—He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit an hundred times. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 But his disciples began to question him—What might, this very, parable be?
And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 And, he, said—Unto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of God; but, unto the rest, in parables, —in order that, seeing, they may not see, and, hearing, they may not understand.
And he said, To 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 Now the parable, is this—The seed, is, the word of God.
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 And, those beside the pathway, are they who have heard; afterwards, cometh the adversary, and catcheth away the word from their heart, lest, believing, they should, be saved.
Those by the way side are they that hear; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 And, those upon the rock, are they who, as soon as they hear, with joy, welcome the word; and, these, not having, root, are they who, for a season, believe, —and, in a season of testing, draw back.
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 in among the thorns fell, these, are they who have heard; and, by anxieties and wealth and pleasures of life being borne along, are choked up, and bear not to perfection.
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 But, that in the good ground, these, are they who, indeed, in a noble and good heart having heard the word, hold fast, and bear fruit with endurance.
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 lit a lamp, covereth it up with a vessel, or, beneath a couch, putteth it; but, upon a lamp-stand, putteth it, that, they who come in, may see the light.
No man, when he has lighted a candle, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but sets it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 For there is no secret, which shall not be made, manifest; neither a hidden thing, which shall in anywise not be made known, or not come, where it can be seen.
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Be taking heed therefore how ye hear; for, whosoever shall have, it shall be given unto him; and, whosoever shall not have, even what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.
Take heed therefore how you hear: for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.
19 And his mother and brethren came near unto him, and were unable to reach him, because of the multitude.
Then came to him his mother and his brothers, and could not come at him for the press.
20 And it was reported to him—Thy mother and thy brethren, are standing outside, desiring, to see, thee.
And it was told him by certain which said, Your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to see you.
21 But, he, answering, said unto them—My mother and my brethren, are, these—they who, the word of God, are hearing and doing.
And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brothers are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 And it came to pass, on one of the days, that, he, entered into a boat, and his disciples; and he said unto them—Let us pass over unto the other side of the lake. And they set sail.
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 Now, as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And there came down a hurricane of wind upon the lake, and they began to be filled, and to be 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, coming near, they roused him up, saying—Master! Master! we perish! And, he, roused up, rebuked the wind, and the surging of the water; and they ceased, and it became 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 unto them—Where was your faith? But, struck with fear, they marvelled, saying one to another—Who then is, this, —that, even unto the winds, he giveth orders, and unto the water, and they hearken unto him.
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commands even the winds and water, and they obey him.
26 And they sailed down into the country of the Gerasenes, the which is over against Galilee.
And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 And, when he went forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, having demons; and, for a considerable time, he had put on no garment, and, in a house, would not abide, but among 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 stayed in any house, but in the tombs.
28 But, seeing Jesus, he cried out aloud, and fell down before him, and, with a loud voice, said—What have I in common with thee, O Jesus, Son of [God] the Most High? I beg of thee—Do not torment 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 you, Jesus, you Son of God most high? I beseech you, torment me not.
29 for he was about to charge the impure spirit to come out from the man. For, many times, had it snatched him away; and he used to be bound with chains and fetters, for a safe-guard, and was wont to break in pieces the bonds, and to be driven by the demon 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 broke the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 And Jesus questioned him—What name hast thou? And, he, said—Legion! because many demons had entered into him.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
31 And they were beseeching him that he would not order them, into the abyss, to depart. (Abyssos g12)
And they sought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. (Abyssos g12)
32 Now there was there, a herd of a good many swine, feeding in the mountain; and they besought him, that he would suffer them, into those, to enter; and he suffered them.
And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they sought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
33 And the demons, going forth from the man entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down the cliff, into the lake, and were choked.
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 they who had been feeding them, seeing what had happened, fled, and carried tidings into the city, and into the country-places.
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 went forth to see what had happened; and came unto Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone forth, sitting, clothed, and of sound mind, near the feet of Jesus, —and they were struck with fear.
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 they who had seen it, reported unto them, how the demonized man was saved.
They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37 And one and all of the throng of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes, requested him, to depart from them; because, with a great fear, were they oppressed. And, he, entering into a boat, returned.
Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about sought 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, began to beg of him, that he might be with him; but he dismissed him, saying—
Now the man out of whom the devils were departed sought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Be returning unto thy house, and telling forth what great things, God, for thee, hath done. And he departed, through all the city, proclaiming what great things, Jesus, had done for him.
Return to your own house, and show how great things God has done to you. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done to him.
40 Now, when Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him back, for they were all expecting 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 lo! there came a man, whose name was Jairus, and, the same, was, a ruler of the synagogue, —and, falling down near the feet of Jesus, he began beseeching him to enter into 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 sought him that he would come into his house:
42 because he had, an only-begotten daughter, about twelve years old, and, she, was dying. Now, as he withdrew, the multitudes, were hemming him in.
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, with a flow of blood of twelve years standing, who indeed could, from no one, be cured,
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living on physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 coming near behind, touched the fringe of his mantle; and, instantly, was stayed the flow of her blood.
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, when all were denying, Peter said—Master! the multitudes, are hemming thee in, and pressing along.
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng you and press you, and say you, Who touched me?
46 But, Jesus, said—Some one touched me, for, I, took note of power, gone out from me.
And Jesus said, Somebody has touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And, the woman seeing that she had not escaped notice, trembling, came, and, falling down before him, reported before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, 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 to him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 And, he, said to her—Daughter! thy faith, hath saved thee: Go thy way into peace.
And he said to her, Daughter, be of good comfort: your faith has made you whole; go in peace.
49 While yet he is speaking, there cometh one from the synagogue ruler’s, saying—Thy daughter, is dead: No further, be troubling the teacher.
While he yet spoke, there comes one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 But, Jesus, hearing, answered him—Do not fear! Only believe, and she shall be saved.
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 And, when he came into the house, he suffered no one to enter with him, save Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl, 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—Be not weeping; for she died not, but is sleeping.
And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.
53 And they were deriding him, knowing that she died.
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 But, he, grasping her hand, called aloud, saying—O girl! arise!
And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit returned, and she rose up instantly, and he ordered that something should be given her to eat.
And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 And her parents were beside themselves. But, he, charged them to tell, no one, what had happened.
And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
