Mark 5
1 And he came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes.
So they arrived at the opposite shore of the Lake, in the country of the Gerasenes.
2 And as he went out of the ship, there met him from the place of sepulchres a man in whom was an unclean spirit.
At once, on His landing, there came from the tombs to meet Him a man possessed by a foul spirit.
3 And he dwelt in the place of sepulchres; and no one could confine him with chains:
This man lived among the tombs, nor could any one now secure him even with a chain;
4 because, as often as he had been confined with fetters and chains, he had broken the chains and burst the fetters: and no one could subdue him.
for many a time he had been left securely bound in fetters and chains, but afterwards the chains lay torn link from link, and the fetters in fragments, and there was no one strong enough to master him.
5 And continually, by night and by day, he was in the place of sepulchres, and cried and wounded himself with stones.
And constantly, day and night, he remained among the tombs or on the hills, shrieking, and mangling himself with sharp stones.
6 And when he saw Jesus at a distance, he ran and worshipped him;
And when he saw Jesus in the distance, he ran and threw himself at His feet,
7 and cried with a loud voice, and said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the High God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
crying out in a loud voice, "What hast Thou to do with me, Jesus, Son of God Most High? In God's name I implore Thee not to torment me."
8 For he had said to him: Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
For He had said to him, "Foul spirit, come out of the man."
9 And he demanded of him: What is thy name? And he replied to him: Our name is Legion; for we are many.
Jesus also questioned him. "What is your name?" He said. "Legion," he replied, "for there are a host of us."
10 And he besought him much, that he would not send him out of the country.
And he earnestly entreated Him not to send them away out of the country.
11 And there was there by the mountain, a great herd of swine grazing.
Feeding there, on the mountain slope, was a great herd of swine.
12 And the demons besought him, and said: Send us upon those swine, that we may enter them.
So they besought Jesus. "Send us to the swine," they said, "so that we may enter into them."
13 And he permitted them. And those unclean spirits went out, and entered the swine: and the herd, of about two thousand, ran to a precipice, and fell into the sea, and were strangled in the waters.
He gave them leave; and the foul spirits came out and entered into the swine, and the herd--about 2,000 in number--rushed headlong down the cliff into the Lake and were drowned in the Lake.
14 And they who tended them, fled and told it in the city and in the villages: and they came out to see what had occurred.
The swineherds fled, and spread the news in town and country. So the people came to see what it was that had happened;
15 And: they came to Jesus, and saw him in whom the demons had been, him in whom had been the legion, clothed, and sober, and sitting; and they were afraid.
and when they came to Jesus, they beheld the demoniac quietly seated, clothed and of sane mind--the man who had had the legion; and they were awe-stricken.
16 And those who had seen it told them how it occurred to him who had the demons, and also concerning the swine.
And those who had seen it told them the particulars of what had happened to the demoniac, and all about the swine.
17 And they began to request him, that he would go from their border.
Then they began entreating Him to depart from their district.
18 And as he ascended the ship, the late demoniac requested that he might continue with him.
As He was embarking, the man who had been possessed asked permission to accompany Him.
19 And he suffered him not, but said to him: Go home to thy people, and tell them what the Lord hath done for thee, and hath compassionated thee.
But He would not allow it. "Go home to your family," He said, "and report to them all that the Lord has done for you, and the mercy He has shown you."
20 And he went, and began to publish in Decapolis, what Jesus had done for him. And they were all amazed.
So the man departed, and related publicly everywhere in the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and all were astonished.
21 And when Jesus had passed by ship to the other side, great multitudes again assembled about him as he was on the shore of the sea.
When Jesus had re-crossed in the boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding to Him; and He was on the shore of the Lake,
22 And one of the rulers of the synagogue, whose name was Jairus, came, and, on seeing him, fell at his feet,
when there came one of the Wardens of the Synagogue--he was called Jair--who, on beholding Him, threw himself at His feet,
23 and besought him much, and said to him: My daughter is very sick; but come and lay thy hand on her, and she will be cured, and will live.
and besought Him with many entreaties. "My little daughter," he said, "is at the point of death: I pray you come and lay your hands upon her, that she may recover and live."
24 And Jesus went with him; and a great company attended him, and pressed upon him.
And Jesus went with him. And a dense crowd followed Him, and thronged Him on all sides.
25 And a woman who had had a defluxion of blood twelve years,
Now a woman who for twelve years had suffered from haemorrhage,
26 and who had suffered much from many physicians, and had expended all she possessed, and was not profited, but was even the more afflicted;
and had undergone many different treatments under a number of doctors and had spent all she had without receiving benefit but on the contrary growing worse,
27 when she heard of Jesus, came behind him in the press of the crowd, and touched his garment
heard of Jesus. And she came in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak;
28 For she said: If I but touch his garment, I shall live.
for she said, "If I but touch His clothes, I shall be cured."
29 And immediately the fountain of her blood dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.
In a moment the flow of her blood ceased, and she felt in herself that her complaint was cured.
30 And Jesus at once knew in himself, that virtue had issued from him: and he turned to the throng, and said: Who touched my clothes?
Immediately Jesus, well knowing that healing power had gone from within Him, turned round in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the throngs that press upon thee; and sayest thou, Who touched me?
"You see the multitude pressing you on all sides," His disciples exclaimed, "and yet you ask, 'Who touched me?'"
32 And he looked around, to see who had done this.
But He continued looking about to see the person who had done this,
33 And the woman, fearing and trembling, for she knew what had taken place in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
until the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself at His feet, and told Him all the truth.
34 And he said to her: My daughter, thy faith hath made thee live: go in peace; and be thou healed of thy plague.
"Daughter," He said, "your faith has cured you: go in peace, and be free from your complaint."
35 And while he was speaking, some domestics of the ruler of the synagogue came, and said: Thy daughter is dead: why therefore troublest thou the teacher?
While He is yet speaking, men come from the house to the Warden, and say, "Your daughter is dead: why trouble the Rabbi further?"
36 But Jesus heard the word they spoke, and said to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not; only believe.
But Jesus, overhearing the words, said to the Warden, "Do not be afraid; only have faith."
37 And he suffered no one to go with him, except Simon Cephas, and James, and John the brother of James.
And He allowed no one to accompany Him except Peter and the brothers James and John.
38 And they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he saw, that they were in a tumult, and weeping, and howling.
So they come to the Warden's house. Here He gazes on a scene of uproar, with people weeping aloud and wailing.
39 And he entered in and said to them: Why are ye in a tumult, and weep? The maid is not dead, but is asleep.
He goes in. "Why all this outcry and loud weeping?" He asks; "the child is asleep, not dead."
40 And they laughed at him. But Jesus put them all out. And he took the maids father, and her mother, and those that accompanied him, and entered into where the maid lay.
To this their reply is a scornful laugh. He, however, puts them all out, takes the child's father and mother and those He has brought with Him, and enters the room where the child lies.
41 And he took the maid's hand, and said to her: Maiden, arise.
Then, taking her by the hand, He says to her, "Talitha, koum;" that is to say, "Little girl, I command you to wake!"
42 And immediately the maid arose, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
Instantly the little girl rises to her feet and begins to walk (for she was twelve years old). They were at once beside themselves with utter astonishment;
43 And he enjoined it upon them much, that no one should know of it. And he directed, that they should give her to eat.
but He gave strict injunctions that the matter should not be made known, and directed them to give her something to eat.
