El endemoniado gadareno

(Mt. 8.28-34; Lc. 8.26-39)

Vinieron al otro lado del mar, a la región de los gadarenos. Y cuando salió él de la barca, en seguida vino a su encuentro, de los sepulcros, un hombre con un espíritu inmundo, que tenía su morada en los sepulcros, y nadie podía atarle, ni aun con cadenas. Porque muchas veces había sido atado con grillos y cadenas, mas las cadenas habían sido hechas pedazos por él, y desmenuzados los grillos; y nadie le podía dominar. Y siempre, de día y de noche, andaba dando voces en los montes y en los sepulcros, e hiriéndose con piedras. Cuando vio, pues, a Jesús de lejos, corrió, y se arrodilló ante él. Y clamando a gran voz, dijo: ¿Qué tienes conmigo, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo? Te conjuro por Dios que no me atormentes. Porque le decía: Sal de este hombre, espíritu inmundo. Y le preguntó: ¿Cómo te llamas? Y respondió diciendo: Legión me llamo; porque somos muchos. 10 Y le rogaba mucho que no los enviase fuera de aquella región. 11 Estaba allí cerca del monte un gran hato de cerdos paciendo. 12 Y le rogaron todos los demonios, diciendo: Envíanos a los cerdos para que entremos en ellos. 13 Y luego Jesús les dio permiso. Y saliendo aquellos espíritus inmundos, entraron en los cerdos, los cuales eran como dos mil; y el hato se precipitó en el mar por un despeñadero, y en el mar se ahogaron.

14 Y los que apacentaban los cerdos huyeron, y dieron aviso en la ciudad y en los campos. Y salieron a ver qué era aquello que había sucedido. 15 Vienen a Jesús, y ven al que había sido atormentado del demonio, y que había tenido la legión, sentado, vestido y en su juicio cabal; y tuvieron miedo. 16 Y les contaron los que lo habían visto, cómo le había acontecido al que había tenido el demonio, y lo de los cerdos. 17 Y comenzaron a rogarle que se fuera de sus contornos. 18 Al entrar él en la barca, el que había estado endemoniado le rogaba que le dejase estar con él. 19 Mas Jesús no se lo permitió, sino que le dijo: Vete a tu casa, a los tuyos, y cuéntales cuán grandes cosas el Señor ha hecho contigo, y cómo ha tenido misericordia de ti. 20 Y se fue, y comenzó a publicar en Decápolis cuán grandes cosas había hecho Jesús con él; y todos se maravillaban.

La hija de Jairo, y la mujer que tocó el manto de Jesús

(Mt. 9.18-26; Lc. 8.40-56)

21 Pasando otra vez Jesús en una barca a la otra orilla, se reunió alrededor de él una gran multitud; y él estaba junto al mar. 22 Y vino uno de los principales de la sinagoga, llamado Jairo; y luego que le vio, se postró a sus pies, 23 y le rogaba mucho, diciendo: Mi hija está agonizando; ven y pon las manos sobre ella para que sea salva, y vivirá.

24 Fue, pues, con él; y le seguía una gran multitud, y le apretaban. 25 Pero una mujer que desde hacía doce años padecía de flujo de sangre, 26 y había sufrido mucho de muchos médicos, y gastado todo lo que tenía, y nada había aprovechado, antes le iba peor, 27 cuando oyó hablar de Jesús, vino por detrás entre la multitud, y tocó su manto. 28 Porque decía: Si tocare tan solamente su manto, seré salva. 29 Y en seguida la fuente de su sangre se secó; y sintió en el cuerpo que estaba sana de aquel azote. 30 Luego Jesús, conociendo en sí mismo el poder que había salido de él, volviéndose a la multitud, dijo: ¿Quién ha tocado mis vestidos? 31 Sus discípulos le dijeron: Ves que la multitud te aprieta, y dices: ¿Quién me ha tocado? 32 Pero él miraba alrededor para ver quién había hecho esto. 33 Entonces la mujer, temiendo y temblando, sabiendo lo que en ella había sido hecho, vino y se postró delante de él, y le dijo toda la verdad. 34 Y él le dijo: Hija, tu fe te ha hecho salva; ve en paz, y queda sana de tu azote.

35 Mientras él aún hablaba, vinieron de casa del principal de la sinagoga, diciendo: Tu hija ha muerto; ¿para qué molestas más al Maestro? 36 Pero Jesús, luego que oyó lo que se decía, dijo al principal de la sinagoga: No temas, cree solamente. 37 Y no permitió que le siguiese nadie sino Pedro, Jacobo, y Juan hermano de Jacobo. 38 Y vino a casa del principal de la sinagoga, y vio el alboroto y a los que lloraban y lamentaban mucho. 39 Y entrando, les dijo: ¿Por qué alborotáis y lloráis? La niña no está muerta, sino duerme. 40 Y se burlaban de él. Mas él, echando fuera a todos, tomó al padre y a la madre de la niña, y a los que estaban con él, y entró donde estaba la niña. 41 Y tomando la mano de la niña, le dijo: Talita cumi; que traducido es: Niña, a ti te digo, levántate. 42 Y luego la niña se levantó y andaba, pues tenía doce años. Y se espantaron grandemente. 43 Pero él les mandó mucho que nadie lo supiese, y dijo que se le diese de comer.

The Demon-possessed Man Cured

(A)They came to the other side of the sea, into the region of the Gerasenes. When He got out of (B)the boat, immediately a man from the tombs (C)with an unclean spirit met Him. He lived among the tombs; and no one was able to bind him anymore, not even with a chain, because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces; and no one was strong enough to subdue him. Constantly, night and day, he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains, and cutting himself with stones. Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him; and shouting with a loud voice, he *said, “[a](D)What business do You have with me, Jesus, (E)Son of (F)the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!” For He had already been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” And He was asking him, “What is your name?” And he *said to Him, “My name is (G)Legion, for we are many.” 10 And he begged Him earnestly not to send them out of the region. 11 Now there was a large herd of pigs feeding [b]nearby on the mountain. 12 And the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us into the pigs so that we may enter them.” 13 Jesus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the pigs; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea.

14 Their herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the countryside. And the people came to see what it was that had happened. 15 And then they *came to Jesus and *saw the man who had been (H)demon-possessed sitting down, (I)clothed and (J)in his right mind, the very man who had previously had the “(K)legion”; and they became frightened. 16 Those who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the (L)demon-possessed man, and all about the pigs. 17 And they began to (M)beg Him to leave their region. 18 (N)And as He was getting into the boat, the man who had been (O)demon-possessed was begging Him that he might [c]accompany Him. 19 And He did not let him, but He *said to him, (P)Go home to your people and report to them [d]what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.” 20 And he went away and began to (Q)proclaim in (R)Decapolis [e]what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.

Miracles and Healing

21 (S)When Jesus had crossed over again in (T)the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and He [f]stayed (U)by the seashore. 22 (V)And one of (W)the synagogue [g]officials, named Jairus, *came, and upon seeing Him, *fell at His feet 23 and *pleaded with Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and (X)lay Your hands on her, so that she will [h]get well and live.” 24 And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him.

25 A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, 26 and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but instead had become worse— 27 after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His [i]cloak. 28 For she had been saying to herself, “If I just touch His garments, I will [j]get well.” 29 And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her (Y)disease. 30 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that (Z)power from Him had gone out, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?” 31 And His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’” 32 And He looked around to see the woman who had done this. 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, (AA)your faith has [k]made you well; (AB)go in peace and be cured of your (AC)disease.”

35 While He was still speaking, people *came from the house of the (AD)synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why bother the Teacher further?” 36 But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, *said to the (AE)synagogue official, (AF)Do not be afraid, only [l]believe.” 37 And He allowed no one to accompany Him except (AG)Peter, [m]James, and John the brother of [n]James. 38 They *came to the house of the (AH)synagogue official, and He *saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing. 39 And after entering, He *said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child has not died, but is asleep.” 40 And they began laughing at Him. But putting them all outside, He *took along the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and *entered the room where the child was in bed. 41 And taking the child by the hand, He *said to her, “Talitha, kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, (AI)I say to you, get up!”). 42 And immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astonished. 43 And He (AJ)gave them strict orders that no one was to know about this, and He told them to have something given her to eat.
