2 And when he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
And when he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.
3 Who had [his] dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
He lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain.
4 For he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any [man] tame him.
For he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. No one had the strength to tame him.
5 And always, night and day, he was on the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped him,
And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, [thou] Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."
8 (For he said to him, Come out of the man, [thou] unclean spirit.)
For he had been saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit."
9 And he asked him, What [is] thy name? And he answered, saying, My name [is] Legion: for we are many.
And then he asked him, "What is your name?" And he replied, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
And he pleaded with Jesus repeatedly not to send them away out of the region.
11 Now there was there nigh to the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.
12 And all the demons besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
And they begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."
13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea (they were about two thousand) and were choked in the sea.
And he gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs; and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told [it] in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
And those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And the people went to see what it was that had happened.
15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the demon, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
And they came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.
16 And they that saw [it] told them how it befell him that was possessed with the demon, and [also] concerning the swine.
And those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their borders.
And then they began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.
18 And when he had come into the boat, he that had been possessed with the demon prayed him that he might be with him.
As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons pleaded with him that he might be with him.
19 Yet Jesus suffered him not, but saith to him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
However, Jesus did not allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your own, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."
20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him. And all [men] wondered.
So he went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone was amazed.
21 And when Jesus had passed over again in a boat to the other side, much people gathered to him: and he was nigh to the sea.

22 And behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: [I pray thee], come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she will live.
and pleaded with him repeatedly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."
24 And [Jesus] went with him; and many people followed him, and thronged him.
And he went with him, and a large crowd followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.
25 And a certain woman who had an issue of blood twelve years,
Now a woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things from many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was not relieved, but rather grew worse,
and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment.
having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well."
29 And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in [her] body that she was healed of that infirmity.
And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the throng, and said, Who touched my clothes?
And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"
32 And he looked around, to see her that had done this thing.
He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
34 And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be healed of thy infirmity.
And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."
35 While he was yet speaking, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's [house certain] who said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe,
But Jesus, overhearing the message spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, only believe."
37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
And he allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
And they came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
39 And when he had come in, he saith to them, Why make ye this tumult, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
And when he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."
40 And they derided him: but when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
And they ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said to her, Talitha cumi: which is, being interpreted, Damsel (I say to thee) arise.
And taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha koum," which translated means, "Little girl, I tell you, get up."
42 And forthwith the damsel arose, and walked; for she was [of the age] of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
And immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were overcome with amazement.
43 And he charged them strictly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
And he strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
