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 thereafter, that he was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the reign of God, and the twelve [are] 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, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,
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 wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to him from 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 a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile:
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.
'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 fowls of the heaven did devour it.
6 And, other, fell down upon the rock; and, growing, was withered, because it had not moisture.
'And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture.
7 And, other, fell and thorns; and, growing together, the thorns, choked it.
'And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke 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 upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.' These things saying, he was calling, 'He having ears to hear — let him hear.'
9 But his disciples began to question him—What might, this very, parable be?
And his disciples were questioning him, saying, 'What may this simile 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 hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 Now the parable, is this—The seed, is, the word of God.
'And this is the simile: 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.
and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may 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.
'And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time 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 to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion.
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.
'And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.
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.
'And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put [it]; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put [it], that those coming 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 become manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest.
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.
'See, therefore, how ye hear, for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.'
19 And his mother and brethren came near unto him, and were unable to reach him, because of the multitude.
And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude,
20 And it was reported to him—Thy mother and thy brethren, are standing outside, desiring, to see, thee.
and it was told him, saying, 'Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;'
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 answering said unto them, 'My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.'
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.
And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, 'We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set 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.
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.
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 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,
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 did wonder, saying unto one another, 'Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?'
26 And they sailed down into the country of the Gerasenes, the which is over against Galilee.
And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that 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 he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, 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!—
and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, 'What — to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!'
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 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 fetters — guarded, and breaking asunder the bonds he was driven by the demons to the deserts.
30 And Jesus questioned him—What name hast thou? And, he, said—Legion! because many demons had entered into him.
And Jesus questioned him, saying, 'What is thy name?' and he said, 'Legion,' (because many demons were entered into him, )
31 And they were beseeching him that he would not order them, into the abyss, to depart. (Abyssos g12)
and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss, (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 a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, 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.
and the demons having gone forth from the man, did enter into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep to 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.
And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the fields;
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.
and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came unto 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;
36 And they who had seen it, reported unto them, how the demonized man was saved.
and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.
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.
And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back.
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—
And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and 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.
'Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him.
40 Now, when Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him back, for they were all expecting him.
And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking 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 lo, 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;
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.
because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging 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 for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any,
44 coming near behind, touched the fringe of his mantle; and, instantly, was stayed the flow of her blood.
having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood.
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 [is] it that touched me?' and all denying, Peter and those with him said, 'Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng [thee], and thou dost say, Who [is] it that touched me!'
46 But, Jesus, said—Some one touched me, for, I, took note of power, gone out from me.
And Jesus said, 'Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from 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 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 presently;
48 And, he, said to her—Daughter! thy faith, hath saved thee: Go thy way into peace.
and he said to her, 'Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to 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 is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's [house], saying to him — 'Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;'
50 But, Jesus, hearing, answered him—Do not fear! Only believe, and she shall be saved.
and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, 'Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.'
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 having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;
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 they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, 'Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep;
53 And they were deriding him, knowing that she died.
and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die;
54 But, he, grasping her hand, called aloud, saying—O girl! arise!
and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, 'Child, 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 back, and she arose presently, and he directed that there be given to her to eat;
56 And her parents were beside themselves. But, he, charged them to tell, no one, what had happened.
and her parents were amazed, but he charged them to say to no one what was come to pass.
