< Luke 8 >

1 And it came to pass afterward soon that He himself was traveling throughout city and village preaching and evangelising of the kingdom of God And the Twelve [were] with Him
Shortly afterward, Jesus went on a journey through the towns and villages, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. With him went the Twelve,
2 and women certain who were cured from spirits evil and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene from whom demons seven had gone out,
as well as some women who had been cured of wicked spirits and of infirmities. They were Mary, known as Mary of Magdala (from whom seven demons had been expelled),
3 and Joanna wife of Chuza a steward of Herod and Susanna and others many who were ministering (to them *N(K)O*) (out of *N(k)O*) the possessions of theirs.
and Joanna (the wife of Herod’s steward, Chuza), and Susannah, and many others – all of whom provided for Jesus and his apostles out of their own resources.
4 When were assembling now a crowd great and those from each town are coming to Him He spoke through a parable:
Once, when a great crowd was collecting, and, when the people of town after town were flocking to Jesus, he spoke to them in the form of a parable,
5 Went out the [one] sowing to sow the seed of him; And in the sowing of him some indeed fell along the road and it was trampled upon, and the birds of the air devoured it.
“The sower went out to sow his seed; and, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path and was trodden on; and the wild birds ate it up.
6 However other (fell *N(k)O*) upon the rock, and having sprung up it withered through not having moisture.
Other seed fell on rock, and, as soon as it began to grow, because it had no moisture, it withered away.
7 And other fell in [the] midst of the thorns, and having sprung up with [it] the thorns choked choked it.
Other seed fell in the middle of brambles, but the brambles grew up with it and choked it entirely.
8 And other fell (upon *N(k)O*) the soil good, and having sprung up it produced fruit a hundredfold. These things saying He was calling out; The [one] having ears to hear he should hear.
Other seed fell into rich soil, and grew, and gave a hundredfold return.” After saying this, Jesus cried aloud, “Let those who have ears to hear with hear.”
9 Were asking then Him the disciples of Him (saying: *k*) What this would mean the parable
His disciples asked Jesus the meaning of this parable.
10 And He said; To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, to the however rest [it is] in parables so that Seeing not shall they see and hearing not shall they understand.’
“To you,” he said, “the knowledge of the hidden truths of the kingdom of God has been imparted, but to others in parables only, so that though they have eyes they may not see, and though they have ears, they may not understand.
11 Is now this the parable: The seed is the word of God.
This is the parable – The seed is God’s message.
12 Those now along the road are which [are] (having heard, *N(k)O*) then comes the devil and takes away the word from the heart of them that not having believed they may be saved.
By the seed which fell along the path are meant those who hear the message; but then comes the devil and carries away the message from their minds, to prevent their believing it and being saved.
13 Those now upon the rock, those who when they may hear with joy receive the word; and these a root not have, who for a time believe and in time of testing fall away.
By the seed which fell on the rock are meant those who, as soon as they hear the message, welcome it joyfully; but they have no root, and believe it only for a time, and, when the time of temptation comes, they draw back.
14 That now into the thorns having fallen, these are those having heard, and under cares and riches and pleasures of life moving along are choked and not do mature.
By that which fell among the brambles are meant those who hear the message, but who, as they go on their way, are completely choked by this world’s cares and wealth and pleasures, and bring nothing to perfection.
15 That now in the good soil, these are those in a heart worthy and good having heard the word keep [it] and they bring forth fruit by perseverance.
But by that in the good ground are meant those who, having heard the message, keep it in the good, rich soil of their hearts, and patiently yield a return.
16 No [one] now a lamp having lighted covers it with a vessel or under a bed puts [it], but on a lampstand (puts [it] *N(k)O*) so that those entering in may see the light.
“No one sets light to a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or puts it underneath a couch, but they put it on a lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.
17 Nothing for is hidden which not manifest will become, nor [is] secret which certainly (not *no*) (may be known *N(k)O*) and to light come.
Nothing is hidden which will not be brought into the light of day, not ever kept hidden which will not some day become known and come into the light of day.
18 do take heed therefore how you hear; who[ever] (maybe *NK(o)*) for shall have, will be given to him, and who[ever] (maybe *NK(o)*) not shall have, even what he seems to have it will be taken away from him.
Take care, then, how you listen. For, to all those who have, more will be given; while, from all those who have nothing, even what they seem to have will be taken away.”
19 (she came *N(k)O*) then to Him the mother and the brothers of Him and not they were able to get to Him because of the crowd.
Presently Jesus’ mother and brothers came where he was, but they were not able to join him because of the crowd.
20 (and *k*) It was told (also *no*) to Him (saying: *k*) The mother of You and the brothers of You have stood outside to see wanting You.
So word was brought to him – ‘Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’
21 But answering He said to them; Mother of Mine and brothers of mine those are who the word of God are hearing and doing (it. *k*)
His reply, spoken to them all, was, “My mother and my brothers are those who listen to God’s teaching and do what it says.”
22 (and *k*) It came to pass (then *no*) on one of the days also He himself climbed into a boat with the disciples of Him and He said to them; Let us pass over to the other side of the lake. And they launched out.
One day about that time, Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, “Let us go across the lake.”
23 When were sailing then they He fell asleep, And came down a storm of wind on the lake, and they were being swamped and were in danger.
So they put off. While they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A squall swept down on the lake, and their boat was filling and they were in danger.
24 Having come to [Him] then they awoke Him saying; Master Master, we are perishing! And (having arisen up *N(k)O*) He rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. and they ceased, and there was a calm.
So the disciples came and roused him. “Sir, Sir,” they cried, “we are lost!” Jesus rose and rebuked the wind and the rushing waves, and they fell, and a calm followed.
25 He said then to them; Where (is *k*) the faith of you? Having been afraid then they marveled saying to one another; Who then this is for even to the winds He commands and to the water, and they obey Him?
“Where is your faith?” he exclaimed. But in great awe and amazement they said to one another, “Who can this be, who commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey him?”
26 And they sailed down to the region of the (Gerasenes *N(K)O*) which is opposite Galilee.
They reached the region of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite side to Galilee,
27 Having gone forth then to Him upon the land met (with him *ko*) a man certain out of the city (who *ko*) (is having *N(k)O*) demons. and (from *k*) (time a long *N(k)O*) not (was wearing *N(k)O*) clothing and in a house not was abiding but in the tombs.
and, on getting ashore, Jesus met a man, who had demons in him, coming out of the town. For a long time this man had worn no clothing, and he had not lived in a house, but in the tombs.
28 Having seen then Jesus (and *k*) having cried out he fell down before Him and in a voice loud said; What to me myself and to You, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I implore of You not me You may torment!
Catching sight of Jesus, he shrieked out and threw himself down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torment me.”
29 He was commanding for to the spirit unclean to come out from the man; Many for times it had seized him, and (he was shackled *N(k)O*) with chains and in fetters being kept, and breaking the chains he was driven (by *NK(o)*) the (demon *N(k)O*) into the deserts.
For Jesus was commanding the foul spirit to come out of the man. On many occasions it had seized him, and, even when secured with chains and fetters, and watched, he would break through anything that bound him, and be driven by the demon into the wilds.
30 Asked now him Jesus (saying: *ko*) What your name is And he said; (Legion; *N(k)O*) because were entered demons many into him.
“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he answered (for many demons had taken possession of him);
31 And (they were begging *N(k)O*) Him that not he would command to them into the abyss to go away. (Abyssos g12)
and the demons begged Jesus not to order them away into the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was now there a herd of pigs many (feeding *N(k)O*) in the mountain, and (they begged *N(k)O*) Him that He would allow them into them to enter. and He allowed them.
There was a herd of many pigs close by feeding on the hill-side; and the demons begged Jesus to give them leave to enter into them. Jesus gave them leave.
33 Having gone out then the demons from the man (they entered *N(k)O*) into the pigs, and rushed the herd down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
They came out from the man and took possession of the pigs; and the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.
34 Having seen then those feeding [them] what (already happening *N(k)O*) they fled and (having gone *K*) they reported [it] to the city and to the country.
When the men who tended them saw what had happened, they ran away, and carried the news to the town, and to the country around.
35 They went out then to see that having happened and they came to Jesus and found sitting the man from whom the demons (had gone out *N(k)O*) clothed and being of sound mind at the feet of Jesus, And they were afraid.
The people went out to see what had happened, and, when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at Jesus’ feet; and they were awe-struck.
36 Related then to them (and *k*) those having seen [it] how was healed the [one] having been demonised.
Those who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been delivered.
37 And (asked *N(k)O*) Him all the multitude of the surrounding region of the (Gerasenes *N(K)O*) to depart from them, because with fear great they were seized. He himself now having climbed into (the *k*) boat turned back.
Then all the people in the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, for they were terrified. Jesus got into a boat and returned.
38 (Was begging *N(k)O*) however Him the man from whom had gone out the demons to be [taken] with Him. He sent away however him (*k*) (Jesus *K*) saying;
The man from whom the demons had gone out begged Jesus to let him be with him; but Jesus sent him away.
39 do return to the house of you and do relate how much for you has done God. And he departed through all the city proclaiming how much did for him Jesus.
“Go back to your home,” he said, “and relate the story of all that God has done for you.” So the man went through the whole town and proclaimed, as he went, all that Jesus had done for him.
40 (it came to pass *K*) When then ([is] returning *N(k)O*) Jesus received Him the crowd; they were for all looking for Him.
On his return, Jesus was welcomed by the people; for everyone was looking out for him.
41 And behold came a man whose name [was] Jairus, and (he *N(k)O*) a ruler of the synagogue was. and having fallen at the feet of Jesus he was begging Him to come to the house of him
And a man named Jairus, who was a synagogue leader, came to Jesus, and threw himself at Jesus’ feet, with entreaties that he would come to his house,
42 because daughter an only was to him about years [old] twelve and she was dying. As then [is] to go He the crowds were pressing around Him.
because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus was going, the people were pressing closely around him.
43 And a woman being with a flux of blood for years twelve, who (into *k*) (on physicians *N(k)O*) having spent all the living (of her *ko*) neither was able (by *N(k)O*) no [one] to be healed,
And a woman, who had suffered from hemorrhage for twelve years, and whom no one could cure,
44 having come behind [Him] she touched the fringe the of cloak of Him, and immediately stopped the flux of the blood of her.
came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak. Instantly the hemorrhage ceased.
45 And said Jesus; Who [is] the [one] having touched Me? When is denying [it] however everyone said Peter (and those *KO*) (with him: *K(o)*) Master, the people surround You and press in (and say which one having touched me. *KO*)
“Who touched me?” Jesus asked; and, while everyone was denying having done so, Peter exclaimed, “Why, Sir, the people are crowding around you and pressing against you!”
46 But Jesus said; Touched Me someone; I myself for know power (having left *N(k)O*) from Me.
“Somebody touched me,” said Jesus, “for I felt that power had gone out from me.”
47 Having seen then the woman that not she was hid, trembling she came and having fallen down before Him, for what cause she touched Him she declared (to him *k*) before all the people and how she was healed immediately.
Then the woman, when she saw that she was discovered, came forward trembling, and threw herself down before him; and, in the presence of all the people, she told him her reason for touching him, and that she had been cured instantly.
48 And He said to her; (Take courage *K*) (daughter, *N(k)O*) the faith of you has healed you; do go in peace.
“Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you.”
49 Still when he is speaking comes one from the synagogue ruler saying (to him *ko*) that Has died the daughter of You; (no longer *N(K)O*) do trouble the Teacher.
Before he had finished speaking, someone came from the house of the synagogue leader and said, “Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the teacher further.”
50 But Jesus having heard He answered to him (saying; *k*) Not do fear; only (do believe, *N(k)O*) and she will be saved.
But Jesus, hearing this, spoke to the leader, “Do not be afraid; only have faith, and she will yet be delivered.”
51 (having entered *N(k)O*) then into the house not He did allow to go in (anyone *N(k)O*) (with Him *NO*) only except Peter and John and James, and the father of the child and the mother.
When he reached the house, he did not allow anyone to go in with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother.
52 They were weeping now all and they were mourning for her. But He said; Not do weep; not (for *no*) she is dead but sleeps.
And everyone was weeping and mourning for her. “Do not weep,” Jesus said, “she is not dead; she is asleep.”
53 And they were laughing at Him, knowing that she was dead.
They began to laugh at him, for they knew that she was dead.
54 He himself now (having taken out outside all and *K*) having taken hold of the hand of her called out saying: O Child, (do arise. *N(k)O*)
But, taking her by the hand, Jesus said in a loud voice, “Child, rise!”
55 And returned the spirit of her, and she arose immediately, and He directed to her to be given to eat.
The child’s spirit returned to her, and she instantly stood up; and Jesus ordered them to give her something to eat.
56 And were amazed the parents of her. and He instructed to them no one to tell what having happened.
Her parents were amazed, but Jesus impressed on them that they were not to tell anyone what had happened.
