Mark 5
1 They came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.
And they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes.
2 When Jesus was getting out of the boat, immediately there came up to him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit.
And immediately on his going out of the ship there met him out of the tombs a man possessed by an unclean spirit,
3 The man lived in the tombs. No one could restrain him anymore, not even with a chain.
who had his dwelling in the tombs; and no one was able to bind him, not even with chains;
4 He had been bound many times with shackles and with chains. He tore the chains apart and his shackles were shattered. No one had the strength to subdue him.
because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn asunder by him, and the fetters were shattered; and no one was able to subdue him.
5 Every night and day in the tombs and in the mountains, he cried out and cut himself with sharp stones.
And continually night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying and cutting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran to him and bowed down before him.
But seeing Jesus from afar off, he ran and did him homage,
7 He cried out with a loud voice, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you by God himself, do not torment me.”
and crying with a loud voice he says, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not.
8 For he had been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.”
For he said to him, Come forth, unclean spirit, out of the man.
9 He asked him, “What is your name?” He answered him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
And he asked him, What is thy name? And he says to him, Legion is my name, because we are many.
10 He begged him again and again not to send them out of the region.
And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11 Now a great herd of pigs was there feeding on the hill,
Now there was there just at the mountain a great herd of swine feeding;
12 and they begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs; let us enter into them.”
and they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine that we may enter into them.
13 So he allowed them; the unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs, and they rushed down the steep hill into the sea, and about two thousand pigs drowned in the sea.
And Jesus [immediately] allowed them. And the unclean spirits going out entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep slope, into the sea (about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.
14 Then those who were feeding the pigs ran away and reported what had happened in the city and in the countryside, and so people went out to see what had happened.
And those that were feeding them fled and reported it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had taken place.
15 Then they came to Jesus and they saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had been possessed by Legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
And they come to Jesus, and they see the possessed of demons sitting [and] clothed and sensible, [him] that had had the legion: and they were afraid.
16 Those who had seen what happened to the demon-possessed man told them about it in detail, and they also them told about the pigs.
And they that had seen [it] related to them how it had happened to the [man] possessed by demons, and concerning the swine.
17 Then they started to beg him to leave their region.
And they began to beg him to depart from their coasts.
18 When he was getting into the boat, the demon-possessed man begged him that he might be with him.
And as he went on board ship, the man that had been possessed by demons besought him that he might be with him.
19 But Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go to your house and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you, and how he has shown you mercy.”
And he suffered him not, but says to him, Go to thine home to thine own people, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for thee, and has had mercy on thee.
20 So he went away and began to proclaim the great things that Jesus had done for him in the Decapolis, and everyone was amazed.
And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and all wondered.
21 Now when Jesus had crossed over again to the other side, in the boat, a great crowd gathered around him, as he was beside the sea.
And Jesus having passed over in the ship again to the other side, a great crowd gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
22 Then one of the leaders of the synagogue, named Jairus, came, and when he saw him, fell at his feet.
And [behold] there comes one of the rulers of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and seeing him, falls down at his feet;
23 He begged again and again, saying, “My little daughter is near death. I beg you, come and lay your hands on her that she may be made well and live.”
and he besought him much, saying, My little daughter is at extremity; [I pray] that thou shouldest come and lay thy hands upon her so that she may be healed, and may live.
24 So he went with him, and a great crowd followed him and pressed close around him.
And he went with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed on him.
25 Now a woman was there who had a flow of blood for twelve years.
And a certain woman who had had a flux of blood twelve years,
26 She had suffered much from many doctors and had spent everything that she had, but instead of getting better she grew worse.
and had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent everything she had and had found no advantage from it, but had rather got worse,
27 When she had heard the reports about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak.
having heard concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind and touched his clothes;
28 For she said, “If I touch just his clothes, I will be healed.”
for she said, If I shall touch but his clothes I shall be healed.
29 When she touched him, the bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed from her affliction.
And immediately her fountain of blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she was cured from the scourge.
30 Jesus immediately realized in himself that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?”
And immediately Jesus, knowing in himself the power that had gone out of him, turning round in the crowd said, Who has touched my clothes?
31 His disciples said to him, “You see this crowd pressed around you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'”
And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the crowd pressing on thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 But Jesus looked around to see who had done it.
And he looked round about to see her who had done this.
33 The woman, knowing what had happened to her, feared and trembled. She came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.
But the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had taken place in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed from your disease.”
And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith has healed thee; go in peace, and be well of thy scourge.
35 While he was speaking, some people came from the leader of the synagogue, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any longer?”
While he was yet speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's [house], saying, Thy daughter has died, why troublest thou the teacher any further?
36 But when Jesus overheard what they said, he said to the leader of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid. Just believe.”
But Jesus [immediately], having heard the word spoken, says to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not; only believe.
37 He did not permit anyone to accompany him, except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
And he suffered no one to accompany him save Peter and James, and John the brother of James.
38 They came to the house of the leader of the synagogue and he saw there people making a lot of noise; they were weeping and wailing loudly.
And he comes to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and sees the tumult, and people weeping and wailing greatly.
39 When he entered the house, he said to them, “Why are you upset and why do you weep? The child is not dead but sleeps.”
And entering in he says to them, Why do ye make a tumult and weep? the child has not died, but sleeps.
40 They laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the father of the child and the mother and those who were with him, and he went in where the child was.
And they derided him. But he, having put [them] all out, takes with [him] the father of the child, and the mother, and those that were with him, and enters in where the child was lying.
41 He took the hand of the child and said to her, “Talitha, koum!” which being translated would be, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.”
And having laid hold of the hand of the child, he says to her, Talitha koumi, which is, interpreted, Damsel, I say to thee, Arise.
42 Immediately the child got up and walked (for she was twelve years of age). They were immediately astonished with overwhelming amazement.
And immediately the damsel arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with great astonishment.
43 He strictly ordered them that no one should know about this. Then he told them to give her something to eat.
And he charged them much that no one should know this; and he desired that [something] should be given her to eat.
