5 And they came over the strait of the sea into the country of the Gerasens.

² And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the monuments a man with an unclean spirit,

³ Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains.

⁴ For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him.

⁵ And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.

⁶ And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him.

⁷ And crying with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus the Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not.

⁸ For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

⁹ And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is Legion, for we are many.

¹⁰ And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of the country.

¹¹ And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine, feeding.

¹² And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

¹³ And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits going out, entered into the swine: and the herd with great violence was carried headlong into the sea, being about two thousand, and were stifled in the sea.

¹⁴ And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the fields. And they went out to see what was done:

¹⁵ And they came to Jesus, and they see him that was troubled with the devil, sitting, clothed, and well in his wits, and they were afraid.

¹⁶ And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine.

¹⁷ And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts.

¹⁸ And when he went up into the ship, he that had been troubled with the devil, began to beseech him that he might be with him.

¹⁹ And he admitted him not, but saith to him: Go into thy house to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had mercy on thee.

²⁰ And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men wondered.

²⁸ And when he was come on the other side of the water, into the country of the Gerasens, there met him two that were possessed with devils, coming out of the sepulchres, exceeding fierce, so that none could pass by that way.

²⁹ And behold they cried out, saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

³⁰ And there was, not far from them, an herd of many swine feeding.

³¹ And the devils besought him, saying: If thou cast us out hence, send us into the herd of swine.

³² And he said to them: Go. But they going out went into the swine, and behold the whole herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea: and they perished in the waters.

³³ And they that kept them fled: and coming into the city, told every thing, and concerning them that had been possessed by the devils.

³⁴ And behold the whole city went out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their coasts.

²⁶ And they sailed to the country of the Gerasens, which is over against Galilee.

²⁷ And when he was come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time, and he wore no clothes, neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres.

²⁸ And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him; and crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.

²⁹ For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him, and he was bound with chains, and kept in fetters; and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.

³⁰ And Jesus asked him, saying: What is thy name? But he said: Legion; because many devils were entered into him.

³¹ And they besought him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.

³² And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain; and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

³³ The devils therefore went out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were stifled.

³⁴ Which when they that fed them saw done, they fled away, and told it in the city and in the villages.

³⁵ And they went out to see what was done; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at his feet, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

³⁶ And they also that had seen, told them how he had been healed from the legion.

³⁷ And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasens besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear. And he, going up into the ship, returned back again.

³⁸ Now the man, out of whom the devils were departed, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying:

³⁹ Return to thy house, and tell how great things God hath done to thee. And he went through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done to him.

²¹ And when Jesus had passed again in the ship over the strait, a great multitude assembled together unto him, and he was nigh unto the sea.

²² And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue named Jairus: and seeing him, falleth down at his feet.

²³ And he besought him much, saying: My daughter is at the point of death, come, lay thy hand upon her, that she may be safe, and may live.

²⁴ And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.

²⁵ And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years,

²⁶ And had suffered many things from many physicians; and had spent all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse,

²⁷ When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment.

²⁸ For she said: If I shall touch but his garment, I shall be whole.

²⁹ And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil.

³⁰ And immediately Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had proceeded from him, turning to the multitude, said: Who hath touched my garments?

³¹ And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou who hath touched me?

³² And he looked about to see her who had done this.

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.

³⁴ And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be thou whole of thy disease.

³⁵ While he was yet speaking, some come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying: Thy daughter is dead: why dost thou trouble the master any further?

³⁶ But Jesus having heard the word that was spoken, saith to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not, only believe.

³⁷ And he admitted not any man to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

³⁸ And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing much.

³⁹ And going in, he saith to them: Why make you this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

⁴⁰ And they laughed him to scorn. But he having put them all out, taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

⁴¹ And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise.

⁴² And immediately the damsel rose up, and walked: and she was twelve years old: and they were astonished with a great astonishment.

⁴³ And he charged them strictly that no man should know it: and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

¹⁸ As he was speaking these things unto them, behold a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

¹⁹ And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples.

²⁰ And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment.

²¹ For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed.

²² But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: Be of good heart, daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

²³ And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout,

²⁴ He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

²⁵ And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose.

²⁶ And the fame hereof went abroad into all that country.

⁴⁰ And it came to pass, that when Jesus was returned, the multitude received him: for they were all waiting for him.

⁴¹ And behold there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, beseeching him that he would come into his house:

⁴² For he had an only daughter, almost twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened as he went, that he was thronged by the multitudes.

⁴³ And there was a certain woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had bestowed all her substance on physicians, and could not be healed by any.

⁴⁴ She came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment; and immediately the issue of her blood stopped.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said: Who is it that touched me? And all denying, Peter and they that were with him said: Master, the multitudes throng and press thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?

⁴⁶ And Jesus said: Somebody hath touched me; for I know that virtue is gone out from me.

⁴⁷ And the woman seeing that she was not hid, came trembling, and fell down before his feet, and declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed.

⁴⁸ But he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go thy way in peace.

⁴⁹ As he was yet speaking, there cometh one to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: Thy daughter is dead, trouble him not.

⁵⁰ And Jesus hearing this word, answered the father of the maid: Fear not; believe only, and she shall be safe.

⁵¹ And when he was come to the house, he suffered not any man to go in with him, but Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the maiden.

⁵² And all wept and mourned for her. But he said: Weep not; the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.

⁵³ And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴ But he taking her by the hand, cried out, saying: Maid, arise.

⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And he bid them give her to eat.

⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished, whom he charged to tell no man what was done.
