ΚΑΤΑ ΛΟΥΚΑΝ 8
1881 Westcott-Hort New Testament
8 και εγενετο εν τω καθεξης και αυτος διωδευεν κατα πολιν και κωμην κηρυσσων και ευαγγελιζομενος την βασιλειαν του θεου και οι δωδεκα συν αυτω
2 και γυναικες τινες αι ησαν τεθεραπευμεναι απο πνευματων πονηρων και ασθενειων μαρια η καλουμενη μαγδαληνη αφ ης δαιμονια επτα εξεληλυθει
3 και ιωαννα γυνη χουζα επιτροπου ηρωδου και σουσαννα και ετεραι πολλαι αιτινες διηκονουν αυτοις εκ των υπαρχοντων αυταις
4 συνιοντος δε οχλου πολλου και των κατα πολιν επιπορευομενων προς αυτον ειπεν δια παραβολης
5 εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειραι τον σπορον αυτου και εν τω σπειρειν αυτον ο μεν επεσεν παρα την οδον και κατεπατηθη και τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατεφαγεν αυτο
6 και ετερον κατεπεσεν επι την πετραν και φυεν εξηρανθη δια το μη εχειν ικμαδα
7 και ετερον επεσεν εν μεσω των ακανθων και συμφυεισαι αι ακανθαι απεπνιξαν αυτο
8 και ετερον επεσεν εις την γην την αγαθην και φυεν εποιησεν καρπον εκατονταπλασιονα ταυτα λεγων εφωνει ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
9 επηρωτων δε αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου τις αυτη ειη η παραβολη
10 ο δε ειπεν υμιν δεδοται γνωναι τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας του θεου τοις δε λοιποις εν παραβολαις ινα βλεποντες μη βλεπωσιν και ακουοντες μη συνιωσιν
11 εστιν δε αυτη η παραβολη ο σπορος εστιν ο λογος του θεου
12 οι δε παρα την οδον εισιν οι ακουσαντες ειτα ερχεται ο διαβολος και αιρει τον λογον απο της καρδιας αυτων ινα μη πιστευσαντες σωθωσιν
13 οι δε επι της πετρας οι οταν ακουσωσιν μετα χαρας δεχονται τον λογον και ουτοι ριζαν ουκ εχουσιν οι προς καιρον πιστευουσιν και εν καιρω πειρασμου αφιστανται
14 το δε εις τας ακανθας πεσον ουτοι εισιν οι ακουσαντες και υπο μεριμνων και πλουτου και ηδονων του βιου πορευομενοι συμπνιγονται και ου τελεσφορουσιν
15 το δε εν τη καλη γη ουτοι εισιν οιτινες εν καρδια καλη και αγαθη ακουσαντες τον λογον κατεχουσιν και καρποφορουσιν εν υπομονη
16 ουδεις δε λυχνον αψας καλυπτει αυτον σκευει η υποκατω κλινης τιθησιν αλλ επι λυχνιας τιθησιν ινα οι εισπορευομενοι βλεπωσιν το φως
17 ου γαρ εστιν κρυπτον ο ου φανερον γενησεται ουδε αποκρυφον ο ου μη γνωσθη και εις φανερον ελθη
18 βλεπετε ουν πως ακουετε ος αν γαρ εχη δοθησεται αυτω και ος αν μη εχη και ο δοκει εχειν αρθησεται απ αυτου
19 παρεγενετο δε προς αυτον η μητηρ και οι αδελφοι αυτου και ουκ ηδυναντο συντυχειν αυτω δια τον οχλον
20 απηγγελη δε αυτω η μητηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου εστηκασιν εξω ιδειν θελοντες σε
21 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν προς αυτους μητηρ μου και αδελφοι μου ουτοι εισιν οι τον λογον του θεου ακουοντες και ποιουντες
22 εγενετο δε εν μια των ημερων και αυτος ενεβη εις πλοιον και οι μαθηται αυτου και ειπεν προς αυτους διελθωμεν εις το περαν της λιμνης και ανηχθησαν
23 πλεοντων δε αυτων αφυπνωσεν και κατεβη λαιλαψ ανεμου εις την λιμνην και συνεπληρουντο και εκινδυνευον
24 προσελθοντες δε διηγειραν αυτον λεγοντες επιστατα επιστατα απολλυμεθα ο δε διεγερθεις επετιμησεν τω ανεμω και τω κλυδωνι του υδατος και επαυσαντο και εγενετο γαληνη
25 ειπεν δε αυτοις που η πιστις υμων φοβηθεντες δε εθαυμασαν λεγοντες προς αλληλους τις αρα ουτος εστιν οτι και τοις ανεμοις επιτασσει και τω υδατι και υπακουουσιν αυτω
26 και κατεπλευσαν εις την χωραν των γερασηνων ητις εστιν αντιπερα της γαλιλαιας
27 εξελθοντι δε αυτω επι την γην υπηντησεν ανηρ τις εκ της πολεως εχων δαιμονια και χρονω ικανω ουκ ενεδυσατο ιματιον και εν οικια ουκ εμενεν αλλ εν τοις μνημασιν
28 ιδων δε τον ιησουν ανακραξας προσεπεσεν αυτω και φωνη μεγαλη ειπεν τι εμοι και σοι ιησου υιε [του θεου] του υψιστου δεομαι σου μη με βασανισης
29 παρηγγελλεν γαρ τω πνευματι τω ακαθαρτω εξελθειν απο του ανθρωπου πολλοις γαρ χρονοις συνηρπακει αυτον και εδεσμευετο αλυσεσιν και πεδαις φυλασσομενος και διαρρησσων τα δεσμα ηλαυνετο απο του δαιμονιου εις τας ερημους
30 επηρωτησεν δε αυτον ο ιησους τι σοι ονομα εστιν ο δε ειπεν λεγιων οτι εισηλθεν δαιμονια πολλα εις αυτον
31 και παρεκαλουν αυτον ινα μη επιταξη αυτοις εις την αβυσσον απελθειν
32 ην δε εκει αγελη χοιρων ικανων βοσκομενη εν τω ορει και παρεκαλεσαν αυτον ινα επιτρεψη αυτοις εις εκεινους εισελθειν και επετρεψεν αυτοις
33 εξελθοντα δε τα δαιμονια απο του ανθρωπου εισηλθον εις τους χοιρους και ωρμησεν η αγελη κατα του κρημνου εις την λιμνην και απεπνιγη
34 ιδοντες δε οι βοσκοντες το γεγονος εφυγον και απηγγειλαν εις την πολιν και εις τους αγρους
35 εξηλθον δε ιδειν το γεγονος και ηλθον προς τον ιησουν και ευρον καθημενον τον ανθρωπον αφ ου τα δαιμονια εξηλθεν ιματισμενον και σωφρονουντα παρα τους ποδας [του] ιησου και εφοβηθησαν
36 απηγγειλαν δε αυτοις οι ιδοντες πως εσωθη ο δαιμονισθεις
37 και ηρωτησεν αυτον απαν το πληθος της περιχωρου των γερασηνων απελθειν απ αυτων οτι φοβω μεγαλω συνειχοντο αυτος δε εμβας εις πλοιον υπεστρεψεν
38 εδειτο δε αυτου ο ανηρ αφ ου εξεληλυθει τα δαιμονια ειναι συν αυτω απελυσεν δε αυτον λεγων
39 υποστρεφε εις τον οικον σου και διηγου οσα σοι εποιησεν ο θεος και απηλθεν καθ ολην την πολιν κηρυσσων οσα εποιησεν αυτω ο ιησους
40 εν δε τω υποστρεφειν τον ιησουν απεδεξατο αυτον ο οχλος ησαν γαρ παντες προσδοκωντες αυτον
41 και ιδου ηλθεν ανηρ ω ονομα ιαιρος και ουτος αρχων της συναγωγης υπηρχεν και πεσων παρα τους ποδας ιησου παρεκαλει αυτον εισελθειν εις τον οικον αυτου
42 οτι θυγατηρ μονογενης ην αυτω ως ετων δωδεκα και αυτη απεθνησκεν εν δε τω υπαγειν αυτον οι οχλοι συνεπνιγον αυτον
43 και γυνη ουσα εν ρυσει αιματος απο ετων δωδεκα ητις ουκ ισχυσεν απ ουδενος θεραπευθηναι
44 προσελθουσα οπισθεν ηψατο του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου και παραχρημα εστη η ρυσις του αιματος αυτης
45 και ειπεν ο ιησους τις ο αψαμενος μου αρνουμενων δε παντων ειπεν ο πετρος επιστατα οι οχλοι συνεχουσιν σε και αποθλιβουσιν
46 ο δε ιησους ειπεν ηψατο μου τις εγω γαρ εγνων δυναμιν εξεληλυθυιαν απ εμου
47 ιδουσα δε η γυνη οτι ουκ ελαθεν τρεμουσα ηλθεν και προσπεσουσα αυτω δι ην αιτιαν ηψατο αυτου απηγγειλεν ενωπιον παντος του λαου και ως ιαθη παραχρημα
48 ο δε ειπεν αυτη θυγατηρ η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε πορευου εις ειρηνην
49 ετι αυτου λαλουντος ερχεται τις παρα του αρχισυναγωγου λεγων οτι τεθνηκεν η θυγατηρ σου μηκετι σκυλλε τον διδασκαλον
50 ο δε ιησους ακουσας απεκριθη αυτω μη φοβου μονον πιστευσον και σωθησεται
51 ελθων δε εις την οικιαν ουκ αφηκεν εισελθειν τινα συν αυτω ει μη πετρον και ιωαννην και ιακωβον και τον πατερα της παιδος και την μητερα
52 εκλαιον δε παντες και εκοπτοντο αυτην ο δε ειπεν μη κλαιετε ου γαρ απεθανεν αλλα καθευδει
53 και κατεγελων αυτου ειδοτες οτι απεθανεν
54 αυτος δε κρατησας της χειρος αυτης εφωνησεν λεγων η παις εγειρε
55 και επεστρεψεν το πνευμα αυτης και ανεστη παραχρημα και διεταξεν αυτη δοθηναι φαγειν
56 και εξεστησαν οι γονεις αυτης ο δε παρηγγειλεν αυτοις μηδενι ειπειν το γεγονος
От Луки 8
New Russian Translation
Женщины сопровождают Иисуса
8 После этого Иисус ходил из города в город и из селения в селение, провозглашая Радостную Весть о Божьем Царстве. Его сопровождали двенадцать, 2 а также несколько женщин, которые были исцелены от злых духов и болезней: Мария, прозванная Магдалиной, из которой вышли семь демонов, 3 Иоанна, жена Хузы, управляющего домом Ирода, Сусанна и многие другие. Эти женщины помогали Иисусу и Его ученикам из своих средств.
Притча о сеятеле и семенах(A)
4 К Иисусу продолжали приходить люди из разных городов, и когда собралась большая толпа, Он рассказал им притчу:
5 – Сеятель вышел сеять семена. И когда он разбрасывал их, то некоторые из семян упали у самой дороги и были затоптаны и склеваны птицами небесными. 6 Другие упали на каменистую почву, и, едва взойдя, ростки засохли от недостатка влаги. 7 Третьи упали в терновник, и когда тот разросся, то заглушил их. 8 Прочие же упали на хорошую почву. Они взошли и принесли урожай во сто раз больше того, что было посеяно.
Рассказав эту притчу, Иисус громко сказал:
– У кого есть уши, чтобы слышать, пусть слышит!
Иисус объясняет притчу о сеятеле и семенах(B)
9 И когда ученики спросили, что означает эта притча. 10 Иисус ответил:
– Вам дано знать тайны Божьего Царства, другим же все остается в притчах, чтобы
«они, смотря, не видели и,
слушая, не понимали»[a].
11 Вот значение этой притчи: семя – это Божье слово. 12 Семена, упавшие у дороги, – это те, кто слышит слово, но потом приходит дьявол и похищает слово из их сердец, чтобы они не поверили и не были бы спасены. 13 Семена, упавшие на камень, – это те, кто с радостью принимает слово, когда слышит его. Но у них нет корня, сначала они верят, но когда приходят времена испытаний, они отступаются. 14 Семена, упавшие в терновник, – это те люди, которые слышат слово, но со временем повседневные заботы, богатство и удовольствия заглушают их, и плод их не дозревает. 15 Семена же, упавшие на хорошую почву, – это люди, которые, слыша слово, хранят его в добром и честном сердце и приносят плод благодаря своей стойкости.
Ответственность слушающих(C)
16 Никто, зажегши светильник, не ставит его под сосуд или под кровать, наоборот, его ставят на подставку, чтобы входящие видели свет. 17 Нет ничего тайного, что не стало бы явным, и нет ничего сокрытого, что не стало бы известным и не вышло на свет. 18 Итак, будьте внимательны к тому, как вы слушаете, потому что у кого есть, тому будет дано еще, и у кого нет, будет отнято и то, что, как ему кажется, он имеет.
Иисус говорит о Своей истинной семье(D)
19 К Иисусу пришли Его мать и братья, но из-за толпы не могли подойти к Нему. 20 Кто-то Ему передал:
– Твои мать и братья стоят снаружи и хотят Тебя видеть.
21 Иисус ответил им:
– Мои мать и братья – это те, кто слушает слово Божье и исполняет его.
Иисус усмиряет шторм(E)
22 Однажды Иисус сказал Своим ученикам:
– Переправимся на другую сторону озера.
Они сели в лодку и отправились. 23 Пока они плыли, Иисус заснул. Внезапно на озере начался шторм, и лодку стало заливать, так что они оказались в опасности. 24 Ученики, подойдя, разбудили Иисуса, говоря:
– Наставник, Наставник, мы гибнем!
Проснувшись, Он запретил ветру и бушующим волнам. Они утихли, и наступил штиль.
25 – Где же ваша вера? – сказал Иисус ученикам. Они же, испуганные и удивленные, лишь спрашивали друг друга:
– Кто Он, что даже ветрам и воде приказывает, и они повинуются Ему.
Иисус изгоняет демонов в стадо свиней(F)
26 Они приплыли в область герасинцев, что напротив Галилеи. 27 Когда Иисус сошел на берег, Ему навстречу вышел человек из города, одержимый демонами. На нем уже давно не было одежды, и жил он не в доме, а в гробницах. 28 Когда он увидел Иисуса, он бросился к Его ногам и закричал во весь голос:
– Что Ты от меня хочешь, Иисус, Сын Всевышнего Бога? Умоляю Тебя, не мучь меня! – 29 потому что Иисус приказал нечистому духу выйти из этого человека. (Демон часто овладевал этим человеком, и тогда, даже если его сковывали цепями по рукам и ногам и стерегли, он разрывал цепи, и демон гнал его в безлюдные места). 30 Иисус спросил его:
– Как тебя зовут?
– Легион[b], – ответил тот, потому что в него вошло много демонов.
31 И они стали умолять Иисуса не отсылать их в бездну. 32 Неподалеку на склоне горы в это время паслось большое стадо свиней, и демоны попросили Иисуса позволить им войти в них. Он позволил. 33 Когда демоны вышли из этого человека и вошли в свиней, все стадо бросилось с обрыва в озеро и утонуло. 34 Свинопасы, увидев, что произошло, побежали и рассказали обо всем в городе и в окрестностях. 35 Сошлись люди, чтобы посмотреть, что же случилось. Подойдя к Иисусу, они обнаружили, что человек, из которого были изгнаны демоны, сидит у ног Иисуса одетый и в здравом уме, и их охватил страх. 36 Очевидцы рассказали им о том, как был исцелен одержимый. 37 Тогда все жители страны Герасинской стали упрашивать Иисуса покинуть их края, потому что сильно испугались. Иисус сел в лодку и возвратился туда, откуда приплыл. 38 Человек, из которого вышли демоны, просил взять его с Собой, но Иисус отослал его, сказав:
39 – Возвращайся домой и расскажи, что сделал для тебя Бог.
Тот пошел, рассказывая по всему городу о том, что сделал для него Иисус.
Иисус исцеляет женщину и воскрешает девочку(G)
40 Когда Иисус возвратился, Его приветствовала большая толпа, потому что все ждали Его. 41 К Нему подошел человек по имени Иаир, который был начальником синагоги и, павши к Его ногам, стал просить Иисуса прийти к нему домой: 42 его единственная дочь, которой было около двенадцати лет, умирала. Иисус отправился туда в окружении плотной толпы.
43 В толпе была женщина, двенадцать лет страдавшая кровотечением; она истратила на врачей все свои средства, но никто не мог ее вылечить. 44 Она подошла сзади к Иисусу и прикоснулась к кисточке на краю Его одежды. Кровотечение сразу же остановилось.
45 – Кто ко Мне прикоснулся? – спросил Иисус.
Никто не признавался, и Петр сказал:
– Наставник, вокруг Тебя толпятся люди и напирают со всех сторон!
46 Но Иисус сказал:
– Кто-то ко Мне прикоснулся. Я почувствовал, как из Меня вышла сила.
47 Тогда женщина, видя, что она не осталась незамеченной, подошла, дрожа, и пала перед Иисусом. Перед всем народом она рассказала, почему она к Нему прикоснулась и как сразу же была исцелена. 48 Тогда Иисус сказал ей:
– Дочь Моя, твоя вера исцелила тебя. Иди с миром.
49 Иисус еще не договорил, как пришел человек из дома начальника синагоги.
– Твоя дочь умерла, – сказал он, – не беспокой больше Учителя.
50 Услышав это, Иисус сказал Иаиру:
– Не бойся, только верь, и девочка будет спасена.
51 Когда Он вошел в дом, то не позволил никому войти с Ним, кроме Петра, Иоанна, Иакова и родителей девочки. 52 Люди во дворе уже плакали и рыдали по ней.
– Перестаньте плакать, – сказал Иисус, – ведь она не умерла, а спит.
53 Они стали смеяться над Ним, потому что знали, что девочка умерла. 54 Иисус же взял ее за руку и сказал:
– Дитя, встань!
55 Дух девочки возвратился к ней, и она сразу же встала. Иисус сказал, чтобы ей дали есть. 56 Родители были поражены, но Иисус наказал им никому не рассказывать о том, что произошло.
Luke 8
King James Version
8 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
32 And there was there an 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 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and 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 thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:
42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
Luke 8
New King James Version
Many Women Minister to Jesus
8 Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and [a]bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, 2 and (A)certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and [b]infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, (B)out of whom had come seven demons, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for [c]Him from their [d]substance.
The Parable of the Sower(C)
4 (D)And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable: 5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. 6 Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. 8 But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded [e]a crop a hundredfold.” When He had said these things He cried, (E)“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
The Purpose of Parables(F)
9 (G)Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?”
10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the [f]mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that
(H)‘Seeing they may not see,
And hearing they may not understand.’
The Parable of the Sower Explained(I)
11 (J)“Now the parable is this: The seed is the (K)word of God. 12 Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of [g]temptation fall away. 14 Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, (L)riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. 15 But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with (M)patience.[h]
The Parable of the Revealed Light(N)
16 (O)“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the (P)light. 17 (Q)For nothing is secret that will not be (R)revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. 18 Therefore take heed how you hear. (S)For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he [i]seems to (T)have will be taken from him.”
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers Come to Him(U)
19 (V)Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd. 20 And it was told Him by some, who said, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You.”
21 But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
Wind and Wave Obey Jesus(W)
22 (X)Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out. 23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in [j]jeopardy. 24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!”
Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 But He said to them, (Y)“Where is your faith?”
And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, (Z)“Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
A Demon-Possessed Man Healed(AA)
26 (AB)Then they sailed to the country of the [k]Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27 And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons [l]for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he (AC)cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, (AD)“What have I to do with (AE)You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!” 29 For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.
30 Jesus asked him, saying, “What is your name?”
And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him. 31 And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out (AF)into the abyss.
32 Now a herd of many (AG)swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them. 33 Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.
34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. 35 Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, (AH)sitting at the (AI)feet of Jesus, clothed and in his (AJ)right mind. And they were afraid. 36 They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was [m]healed. 37 (AK)Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the [n]Gadarenes (AL)asked Him to (AM)depart from them, for they were seized with great (AN)fear. And He got into the boat and returned.
38 Now (AO)the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed
40 So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. 41 (AP)And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she (AQ)was dying.
But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. 43 (AR)Now a woman, having a (AS)flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and (AT)touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
45 And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”
When all denied it, Peter [o]and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, [p]and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived (AU)power going out from Me.” 47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.
48 And He said to her, “Daughter, [q]be of good cheer; (AV)your faith has made you well. (AW)Go in peace.”
49 (AX)While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the [r]Teacher.”
50 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; (AY)only believe, and she will be made well.” 51 When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go [s]in except [t]Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. 52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, (AZ)“Do not weep; she is not dead, (BA)but sleeping.” 53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 But He [u]put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, (BB)arise.” 55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but (BC)He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
