イエス、悪霊を追い出す

やがて一行は湖を渡り、向こう岸のゲラサ人の地に着きました。 イエスが小舟をおりる間もなく、悪霊に取りつかれた男が墓場から走って来て、イエスを迎えました。

3-4 この男は墓場に寝起きしていましたが、たいへんな強力で、手かせ足かせをはめられても、たちまち引きちぎって逃げてしまうのでした。そんなわけで、だれもこの男を取り押さえることができません。 昼も夜も大声でわめき、とがった石で体をかきむしりながら、墓場や山の中をさまよい歩いていました。

この男は、イエスがまだ遠く湖上におられる時からその姿を認め、走り寄って来てイエスの前まで来ると、いきなり地にひれ伏しました。

7-8 その時です。イエスは男に取りついている悪霊に、「悪霊よ、出て行きなさい」とお命じになりました。すると悪霊は、ぞっとするような声で、「おれを、どうしようというんだ。頼むから、苦しめないでくれ! いと高き神の子、イエスよ」とわめきたてました。 イエスが「おまえの名前は?」と聞くと、「レギオン(ローマの軍隊の一軍団)だ。おれたちは大ぜいでこの男に取りついているのだ」と、悪霊は答えました。 10 それから、自分たちを遠方へ追い払わないでほしいと、しきりに頼み続けました。

11 その時、湖畔に沿った丘の上で、豚の大群がえさをあさっていました。 12 悪霊どもは、「おれたちをあの豚の中へやってくれ」と願いました。 13 イエスがお許しになると、悪霊はすぐさまその男から出て、豚の中に入りました。とたんに、二千匹もの群れがいっせいにがけを駆け降り、湖に飛び込んでおぼれ死んでしまいました。

14 豚飼いたちは近くの町や村に逃げて行き、この出来事をふれ回りました。人々は自分の目で確かめようと、ぞろぞろと出かけて来ました。 15 たちまちイエスの回りは黒山の人だかりとなり、しかも、うわさの男は、服を着て、すっかり正気に戻って座っているではありませんか。人々は恐ろしくなりました。 16 初めからこの出来事を目撃していた人たちが、みんなに一部始終を説明しました。 17 それを聞くと、人々はイエスに、かかわりあいになりたくないから、どこかへ行ってほしいと願い始めたのです。 18 イエスはまた舟に乗り込みました。悪霊につかれていた男が、「ぜひお伴を」と願いましたが、 19 お許しにならず、「家族や、友人のところへお帰りなさい。神がどんなにすばらしいことをしてくださったか、また、どんなにあわれんでくださったかを話してあげなさい」と言われました。 20 男はさっそくデカポリス地方を回り、イエスがどんなにすばらしいことをしてくださったかを知らせました。その話を聞いた人々はみな驚きました。

イエス、少女を生き返らせる

21 イエスがもう一度、舟で向こう岸へ渡られると、大ぜいの群衆が詰めかけました。

22 そこへ、その地方の会堂管理人で、ヤイロという名の人が来て、イエスの前にひれ伏しました。 23 娘を助けてほしいというのです。「先生。私の娘が死にかけています。まだ、ほんの子どもなのに……。どうぞ、娘の上に手を置き、治してやってください。」

24 そこで、イエスはヤイロといっしょに出かけました。群衆は押し合いへし合い、イエスについて行きます。 25 その中に、出血の止まらない病気で十二年間も苦しみ続けてきた女がいました。 26 多くの医者にかかり、さんざん苦しい目に会い、治療代で財産をすっかり使い果たしてしまいましたが、病気はよくなるどころか、悪化する一方でした。 27 イエスがこれまでに行ったすばらしい奇跡を耳にした彼女は、人ごみにまぎれて近づき、背後からイエスの着物にさわりました。 28 「せめて、この方の着物にでも手を触れさせていただけば、きっと治る」と考えたのです。 29 さわったとたん、出血が止まり、彼女は病気が治ったと感じました。

30 イエスはすぐ、自分から病気を治す力が出て行ったのに気づき、群衆のほうをふり向いて、「今、わたしにさわったのはだれですか」とお尋ねになりました。 31 「こんなに大ぜいの人がひしめき合っているのです。それなのに、だれがさわったのかと聞かれるのですか。」弟子たちはけげんな顔で答えました。

32 それでもなおイエスは、あたりを見回しておられます。 33 恐ろしくなった女は、自分の身に起こったことを知り、震えながら進み出てイエスの足もとにひれ伏し、ありのままを正直に話しました。 34 イエスは言われました。「娘さん。あなたの信仰があなたを治したのです。もう大丈夫です。いつまでも元気でいるのですよ。」

35 こう話しておられる時、ヤイロの家から使いの者が来て、娘は死んでしまったので、来ていただいても手遅れだと伝えました。 36 しかしイエスは、ヤイロに言われました。「恐れてはいけません。ただわたしを信じなさい。」

37 イエスは群衆をその場にとどまらせ、ペテロとヤコブとヨハネのほかは、だれもついて来ることをお許しになりませんでした。 38 ヤイロの家に着くと、だれもかれも取り乱し、大声で泣いたり、わめいたり、たいへんな騒ぎになっています。これを見たイエスは、 39 中に入り、「なぜ、そんなに取り乱しているのですか。子どもは死んだのではありません。ただ眠っているだけです」と言われました。

40 それを聞いた人々は、イエスをあざ笑いました。しかし、イエスはみなを家の外に出すと、娘の両親と三人の弟子だけを連れて、娘のいる部屋に入られました。

41 そして娘の手を取り、「さあ、起きなさい」と声をかけました。 42 するとどうでしょう。少女はすぐに起き上がり、歩き始めたではありませんか〔娘はこの時、十二歳でした〕。両親は、ただあっけにとられています。 43 イエスは、このことを決して口外しないようにときびしくお命じになってから、少女に何か食べさせるように言われました。

耶稣让一个人摆脱邪灵

耶稣和门徒们渡过湖,来到格拉森人居住的地区。 耶稣一下船,就有一个被邪灵附体的人从坟地里来见他。 这个人住在坟地里,没人能捆住他,连锁链也捆不住他。 他曾屡次被人用镣铐锁住手脚,但是他挣断了锁链,砸开了脚镣。谁也制服不了他。 他昼夜在坟地和山野中嚎叫,用石头砸自己的身体。

他远远地看见了耶稣,就飞奔过来,跪倒在耶稣面前, 当耶稣正说:“你这个邪灵,离开那人,”时,那人大声喊叫道∶“至高无上的上帝之子,耶稣,您要怎样处置我?我求您以上帝的名字发誓,不要惩罚我!”

耶稣问他∶“你叫什么名字?”

那人回答说∶“我的名字叫军团 [a],因为有很多邪灵附在我体内。” 10 在他体内的邪灵们一遍又一遍地乞求耶稣不要把他们驱逐出这个地区。

11 这时候,有一大群猪正在山坡上吃食。 12 邪灵们乞求耶稣道∶“把我们派到猪群里去吧,这样我们就可以钻到它们身上。” 13 耶稣准许了他们,邪灵们离开那个人,钻到猪身上去了。于是,猪群狂奔下山崖,掉进湖里淹死了,那群猪大约有两千多头。

14 养猪的人跑了,他们把这事告诉了城镇和乡村的人们。人们都出来,想看看究竟发生了什么事。 15 他们来到耶稣那里,看到那个曾被许多邪灵附体的人正坐在那里。他已经穿上了衣服,神智已恢复了正常,他们都很害怕。 16 一些目击者把这个被鬼附身的人所遇到的事和关于猪群的事告诉给其它人, 17 人们都央求耶稣离开此地。

18 耶稣上船要离开时,那个曾被鬼附体的人央求着要与他一同走。 19 但是耶稣没有应许,对他说∶“回去和你的家人及朋友们在一起吧!告诉他们主为你做的一切和主对你所施的怜悯。”

20 于是,那个人走了。他在低加波利 [b]向人们讲述主为他做的大事,人们都为此感到惊讶。

耶稣救活已死的女孩,还治好了病妇

21 耶稣上船渡回到湖对岸,又有很多人聚集在那里。耶稣站在湖边。 22 有个名叫睚鲁的犹太会堂管事来到那里,他一见到耶稣,就跪在他的脚边, 23 再三地恳求他说∶“我的小女儿快要死了。求你来把手按在她身上,让她痊愈,复活过来。”

24 耶稣就跟他去了。一大群人跟着他,簇拥在他周围。

25 人群中有个患血漏十二年的女子, 26 她看过不少医生,受了不少罪,为治病花光了所有的钱。可是病情不但没有好转,反而更加恶化了。 27 她听说耶稣的事迹,就挤进人群,来到耶稣身后,摸了一下耶稣的长袍。 28 她想∶“我只要摸一下他的衣服,我的病就会好了。” 29 果然她的血漏止住了,她感觉到自己体内的病治好了。 30 耶稣立刻感觉到有能量从他身上散发了。他停下脚步,转身问道∶“谁摸了我?”

31 耶稣的门徒对他说∶“许多人都在拥挤着你,但你却问‘谁摸了我?’”

32 但是,耶稣仍旧在人群中搜寻摸了他衣服的人。 33 那个吓得发抖的女子明白发生在自己身上的事,便战战兢兢地走上前俯伏在耶稣面前,就把事情经过一五一十地告诉了耶稣。 34 耶稣对她说∶“亲爱的女子,你的信仰治愈了你。平平安安地走吧,你不会再遭罪了。”

35 正当耶稣说话时,一些男人从会堂管事睚鲁家里赶来报信,他们说∶“你女儿已经死了,何必还麻烦老师呢?”

36 耶稣无意听到这话,就对管事说∶“不要害怕,尽管相信就是了。”

37 耶稣只让彼得、雅各和雅各的兄弟约翰跟着他。 38 他们来到会堂管事的家里,看见里面乱轰轰的,人们正在嚎啕大哭。 39 耶稣走进去,对他们说∶“你们为什么又叫又哭?这孩子没有死,她只是睡着了。” 40 但是人们却嘲笑耶稣。耶稣让其他人出去,只带着孩子的父母和他的三个门徒来到孩子的房间。 41 他握住孩子的手,对她说∶“大利大,古米!”(意思是“小姑娘,我要你站起来!”) 42 女孩马上站起来,下床四处走起来,(她当时十二岁。)人们顿时惊得目瞪口呆。 43 耶稣严厉地命令她父母,不让他们把此事告给人们, 然后,耶稣吩咐他们拿些东西给女孩吃。

A Demon-Possessed Man Healed(A)

Then (B)they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the [a]Gadarenes. And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an (C)unclean spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind [b]him, not even with chains, because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.

When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I (D)implore[c] You by God that You do not torment me.”

For He said to him, (E)“Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” Then He asked him, “What is your name?”

And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” 10 Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country.

11 Now a large herd of (F)swine was feeding there near the mountains. 12 So all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the swine, that we may enter them.” 13 And [d]at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.

14 So those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had happened. 15 Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been (G)demon-possessed and had the legion, (H)sitting and (I)clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. 16 And those who saw it told them how it happened to him who had been demon-possessed, and about the swine. 17 Then (J)they began to plead with Him to depart from their region.

18 And when He got into the boat, (K)he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him. 19 However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.” 20 And he departed and began to (L)proclaim in [e]Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all (M)marveled.

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed(N)

21 (O)Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. 22 (P)And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet 23 and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and (Q)lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.

25 Now a certain woman (R)had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and (S)touched His garment. 28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”

29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the [f]affliction. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that (T)power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”

31 But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’

32 And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. 33 But the woman, (U)fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, (V)your faith has made you well. (W)Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”

35 (X)While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”

36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only (Y)believe.” 37 And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38 Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw [g]a tumult and those who (Z)wept and wailed loudly. 39 When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but (AA)sleeping.”

40 And they ridiculed Him. (AB)But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. 41 Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” 42 Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were (AC)overcome with great amazement. 43 But (AD)He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.

And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

Because that 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.

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

But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

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.

For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, 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.

11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, 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.

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.

15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto 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 shall live.

24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

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

28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

32 And he looked round about to see her that 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.

34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and 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.

39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

40 And they laughed him to scorn. 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.

41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

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

Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(A)(B)

They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.[a] When Jesus got out of the boat,(C) a man with an impure spirit(D) came from the tombs to meet him. This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,(E) Jesus, Son of the Most High God?(F) In God’s name don’t torture me!” For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”

Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”

“My name is Legion,”(G) he replied, “for we are many.” 10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.

11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. 15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion(H) of demons,(I) sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. 17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.

18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. 19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them(J) how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis[b](K) how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(L)

21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake,(M) a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.(N) 22 Then one of the synagogue leaders,(O) named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. 23 He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on(P) her so that she will be healed and live.” 24 So Jesus went with him.

A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(Q) for twelve years. 26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes,(R) I will be healed.” 29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.(S)

30 At once Jesus realized that power(T) had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’

32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(U) Go in peace(V) and be freed from your suffering.”

35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(W) “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”

36 Overhearing[c] what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.(X) 38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader,(Y) Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.”(Z) 40 But they laughed at him.

After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41 He took her by the hand(AA) and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).(AB) 42 Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. 43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this,(AC) and told them to give her something to eat.
