Mark 5
1 And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
So they arrived at the opposite shore of the Lake, in the country of the Gerasenes.
2 And when He was come out of the ship, immediately there met Him from the tombs,
At once, on His landing, there came from the tombs to meet Him a man possessed by a foul spirit.
3 a man with an impure spirit, who kept among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains:
This man lived among the tombs, nor could any one now secure him even with a chain;
4 for he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been pulled asunder by him, and the fetters broken; and no man could tame 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 he was always night and day upon the hills and among the sepulchres bawling, and gashing 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 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped Him,
And when he saw Jesus in the distance, he ran and threw himself at His feet,
7 and crying out with a loud voice said, Jesus thou Son of the most high God, what have I to do with thee? I adjure thee by God, that thou wouldst not torment me:
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 said to him, Thou impure spirit, come out of the man.)
For He had said to him, "Foul spirit, come out of the man."
9 And He asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My 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 earnestly intreated Him, that He would not send them out of that country.
And he earnestly entreated Him not to send them away out of the country.
11 Now there was a great herd of swine feeding upon the mountains:
Feeding there, on the mountain slope, was a great herd of swine.
12 and all the demons intreated Him, saying, Send us to the swine, that we may enter into them.
So they besought Jesus. "Send us to the swine," they said, "so that we may enter into them."
13 And immediately Jesus permitted them: and the impure spirits went out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd (which were about two thousand, ) ran violently down a precipice into the sea, and were suffocated.
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 that were feeding the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what was done:
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 come to Jesus, and see the demoniac, who had been possessed by the legion, sitting and clothed, and in his right mind; 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 when those that saw it told them what had happened to the demoniac,
And those who had seen it told them the particulars of what had happened to the demoniac, and all about the swine.
17 and concerning the swine, they intreated Him to depart from their borders.
Then they began entreating Him to depart from their district.
18 And as He went into the ship, the demoniac intreated Him that he might be with Him:
As He was embarking, the man who had been possessed asked permission to accompany Him.
19 but Jesus did not permit him; 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:
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 departed, and published in Decapolis, how great things 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 passed over again in the ship to the other side, a great multitude was gathered unto Him, nigh unto 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 behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus; and as soon as he saw Him, he 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 earnestly intreated Him, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death, I beseech thee that thou wouldst come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed, and she 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 So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him, and pressed about Him.
And Jesus went with him. And a dense crowd followed Him, and thronged Him on all sides.
25 And a woman who had been in a flux twelve years,
Now a woman who for twelve years had suffered from haemorrhage,
26 and had suffered a great deal from many physicians, and spent all that she had, and received no benefit, but rather grew worse,
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 croud, and touched his garment; for she said,
heard of Jesus. And she came in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak;
28 If I can but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.
for she said, "If I but touch His clothes, I shall be cured."
29 And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt within herself that she was healed of the disorder.
In a moment the flow of her blood ceased, and she felt in herself that her complaint was cured.
30 And immediately Jesus, knowing in Himself that power was gone out of Him, turned about in the croud 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 unto Him, Thou seest the multitude crouding about thee, and dost thou ask, 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 round about to see who had done it.
But He continued looking about to see the person who had done this,
33 But the woman being afraid and trembling, as knowing what had been done in her, came and prostrated herself to 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, Daughter, thy faith has saved thee; go in peace, and be healed of thy disorder.
"Daughter," He said, "your faith has cured you: go in peace, and be free from your complaint."
35 While He was yet speaking, there came some from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter is dead, why dost thou trouble the Master any more?
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 hearing the word that was spoken, immediately saith 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 none to go along with Him, but Peter, 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 He cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, people weeping and lamenting greatly:
So they come to the Warden's house. Here He gazes on a scene of uproar, with people weeping aloud and wailing.
39 and when He was come in, He saith unto them, Why do ye take on thus and weep? the child is not dead, but 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 when He had turned them all out, He taketh the father, and the mother of the child, and those three that were with Him, and goes in where the child was laid:
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 taking hold of her hand, He saith unto her, Talitha, cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damsel, (I say unto thee) 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 damsel rose up and walked; for she was twelve years old; and they were struck with 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 strictly charged them, that no one should know it: and bid them give her something to eat.
but He gave strict injunctions that the matter should not be made known, and directed them to give her something to eat.
