Lucas 8
Magandang Balita Biblia
Mga Babaing Naglilingkod kay Jesus
8 Pagkatapos nito, nilibot ni Jesus ang mga bayan at nayon sa paligid. Nangangaral siya at nagtuturo ng Magandang Balita tungkol sa kaharian ng Diyos. Kasama niya ang Labindalawa 2 at(A) ilang babaing pinagaling niya sa masasamang espiritu at sa kanilang mga karamdaman: si Maria na tinatawag na Magdalena (mula sa kanya'y pitong demonyo ang pinalayas), 3 si Juana na asawa ni Cusa na katiwala ni Herodes, si Susana, at marami pang iba. Tinustusan ng mga ito mula sa sarili nilang ari-arian ang mga pangangailangan ni Jesus at ng kanyang mga alagad.
Ang Talinghaga tungkol sa Manghahasik(B)
4 Nagdatingan ang mga tao mula sa iba't ibang bayan at sila'y lumapit kay Jesus. Isinalaysay ni Jesus ang talinghagang ito:
5 “Isang magsasaka ang pumunta sa bukid upang maghasik. Sa kanyang paghahasik, may binhing nalaglag sa daan, natapakan ng mga tao at tinuka ng mga ibon. 6 May binhi namang nalaglag sa batuhan at tumubo, ngunit agad na natuyo dahil sa kakulangan sa tubig. 7 May nalaglag naman sa may damuhang matinik, at nang lumago ang mga damo, sinakal nito ang mga binhing tumubo roon. 8 Mayroon namang binhing nalaglag sa matabang lupa. Ito'y sumibol, lumago at namunga ng tig-iisandaan.”
At pagkatapos ay sinabi niya nang malakas, “Makinig ang may pandinig!”
Ang Layunin ng mga Talinghaga(C)
9 Itinanong ng mga alagad kung ano ang kahulugan ng talinghagang ito. 10 Sumagot(D) si Jesus, “Ipinagkaloob sa inyo na maunawaan ang mga hiwaga tungkol sa kaharian ng Diyos, ngunit sa iba'y sa pamamagitan ng talinghaga. Nang sa gayon,
‘Tumingin man sila'y hindi sila makakakita;
at makinig man sila'y hindi sila makakaunawa.’”
Ang Paliwanag tungkol sa Talinghaga(E)
11 “Ito ang kahulugan ng talinghaga: ang binhi ay ang Salita ng Diyos. 12 Ang mga binhing nalaglag sa tabi ng daan ay ang mga taong nakikinig. Dumating ang diyablo at inalis nito ang Salita mula sa puso ng mga nakikinig upang hindi sila manalig at maligtas. 13 Ang mga nalaglag naman sa batuhan ay ang mga nakarinig ng Salita at tumanggap nito nang may kagalakan, ngunit hindi ito nag-ugat sa kanilang puso. Sandali lamang silang naniwala, kaya't pagdating ng pagsubok, sila'y tumitiwalag. 14 Ang mga nahasik naman sa may matitinik na damuhan ay ang mga nakinig sa salita ng Diyos, ngunit nang tumagal, nadaig sila ng mga alalahanin sa buhay at ng pagkahumaling sa kayamanan at kalayawan. Dahil dito, hindi nahihinog ang kanilang mga bunga. 15 Ang mga nahasik naman sa matabang lupa ay ang mga nakikinig ng salita ng Diyos at nag-iingat nito sa kanilang pusong tapat at malinis, at sila'y namumunga dahil sa pagtitiyaga.”
Ang Talinghaga tungkol sa Ilaw(F)
16 “Walang(G) taong nagsisindi ng ilaw at pagkatapos ay tinatakluban ng banga o kaya'y itinatago sa ilalim ng higaan. Sa halip, inilalagay iyon sa talagang patungan upang magkaroon ng liwanag para sa mga pumapasok sa bahay. 17 Walang(H) natatago na di malalantad, at walang lihim na di mabubunyag.
18 “Kaya't(I) pagbutihin ninyo ang inyong pakikinig, sapagkat ang mayroon ay bibigyan pa, ngunit ang wala ay aalisan pati ng inaakala niyang nasa kanya.”
Ang Ina at mga Kapatid ni Jesus(J)
19 Dumating ang ina at mga kapatid ni Jesus, ngunit hindi sila makalapit sa kanya dahil sa dami ng tao. 20 Kaya't may nagsabi sa kanya, “Nasa labas po ang inyong ina at mga kapatid; nais nilang makita kayo.”
21 Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus, “Ang mga nakikinig at tumutupad ng salita ng Diyos ang aking ina at mga kapatid.”
Pinatigil ang Bagyo(K)
22 Isang araw, sumakay sa isang bangka si Jesus at ang kanyang mga alagad. Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Tumawid tayo sa ibayo.” At ganoon nga ang ginawa nila. 23 Nang sila ay naglalayag na, nakatulog si Jesus. Bumugso ang isang malakas na unos at ang bangka ay pinasok ng tubig, kaya't sila'y nanganib na lumubog. 24 Nilapitan siya ng mga alagad at ginising. “Panginoon, Panginoon, mamamatay tayo!” sabi nila.
Bumangon si Jesus at sinaway ang hangin at ang malalaking alon. Tumahimik ang mga ito at bumuti ang panahon. 25 Pagkatapos, sinabi niya, “Nasaan ang inyong pananampalataya?”
Ngunit sila'y natakot at namangha. Sinabi nila sa isa't isa, “Sino kaya ito? Inuutusan niya pati ang hangin at ang tubig, at sinusunod naman siya ng mga ito!”
Ang Pagpapagaling sa Geraseno(L)
26 Dumaong sila sa lupain ng mga Geraseno,[a] katapat ng Galilea sa kabilang ibayo ng lawa. 27 Pagbaba ni Jesus sa bangka, sinalubong siya ng isang lalaking tagaroon na sinasapian ng mga demonyo. Matagal na itong hindi nagsusuot ng damit, ni ayaw ring tumira sa bahay kundi sa mga kuwebang libingan namamalagi. 28 Nang makita si Jesus ay nagsisisigaw ang lalaki, nagpatirapa at sinabi nang malakas, “Jesus, Anak ng Kataas-taasang Diyos, ano ang pakialam mo sa akin? Nakikiusap ako sa iyo, huwag mo akong pahirapan!” 29 Ganoon ang sinabi nito sapagkat inutusan ni Jesus na lumabas ang masamang espiritu. Madalas itong sinasapian ng masasamang espiritu, at kahit ito'y bantayan at tanikalaan ang paa't kamay, pinaglalagut-lagot lamang nito ang mga iyon. Siya'y dinadala ng demonyo sa mga liblib na pook.
30 Tinanong siya ni Jesus, “Ano ang pangalan mo?”
“Batalyon,” sagot niya, sapagkat marami ang demonyong pumasok sa kanya. 31 Nagmakaawa kay Jesus ang mga demonyo na huwag silang itapon sa kalalimang walang hanggan.
32 Samantala, may malaking kawan ng baboy na nagsisikain sa isang bundok na malapit doon. Nakiusap ang mga demonyo na papasukin sila sa mga iyon, at pinahintulutan naman sila ni Jesus. 33 Lumabas sa tao ang mga demonyo at pumasok sa mga baboy. Ang kawan ay biglang tumakbo papunta sa bangin at tuluy-tuloy na nahulog sa lawa at nalunod.
34 Nang makita ito ng mga tagapag-alaga ng mga baboy, tumakbo sila at ipinamalita ito sa bayan at sa mga nayon. 35 Lumabas ang mga tao upang tingnan ang nangyari. Paglapit nila kay Jesus, nakita nila ang taong dating sinasapian ng mga demonyo. Nakaupo siya sa paanan ni Jesus, nakadamit na at matino na ang isip. Sila'y lubhang natakot. 36 Isinalaysay sa kanila ng mga nakakita kung paanong gumaling ang dating sinasapian ng mga demonyo. 37 Kaya't nakiusap kay Jesus ang mga Geraseno[b] na umalis na lamang siya sa kanilang lupain, sapagkat sila'y takot na takot. Kaya't sumakay siya sa bangka at umalis sa pook na iyon. 38 Nakiusap kay Jesus ang taong inalisan ng mga demonyo na siya'y isama nito.
Ngunit sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, 39 “Umuwi ka na at ipamalita mo ang dakilang bagay na ginawa sa iyo ng Diyos.”
Umuwi nga ang lalaki at ipinamalita sa buong bayan ang ginawa sa kanya ni Jesus.
Binuhay ang Anak ni Jairo at Pinagaling ang Babaing Cananea(M)
40 Pagbalik ni Jesus, masaya siyang tinanggap ng mga tao sapagkat siya'y hinihintay nila. 41 Dumating noon ang isang lalaking nagngangalang Jairo, isang tagapamahala ng sinagoga. Nagpatirapa ito at nakiusap kay Jesus na sumama sa kanyang bahay, 42 sapagkat ang kaisa-isa niyang anak na babae na maglalabindalawang taong gulang na ay naghihingalo.
Habang naglalakad si Jesus papunta sa bahay ni Jairo, sinisiksik siya ng mga tao. 43 Kabilang sa mga ito ang isang babaing labindalawang taon nang dinudugo at hindi mapagaling ninuman. [Naubos na ang kanyang kabuhayan sa mga manggagamot.][c] 44 Lumapit siya sa likuran ni Jesus at hinawakan ang laylayan ng damit nito. Noon di'y tumigil ang kanyang pagdurugo. 45 Nagtanong si Jesus, “Sino ang humawak sa damit ko?”
Nang walang umamin, sinabi ni Pedro, “Panginoon, napapaligiran po kayo at sinisiksik ng mga tao!”
46 Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus, “May humawak sa damit ko! Naramdaman kong may kapangyarihang lumabas sa akin.”
47 Nang malaman ng babae na hindi pala maililihim ang kanyang ginawa, siya'y nanginginig na lumapit at nagpatirapa sa paanan ni Jesus. Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa lahat ng naroon kung bakit niya hinawakan ang damit ni Jesus, at kung paanong siya'y agad na gumaling.
48 Kaya't sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Anak, pinagaling ka ng iyong pananampalataya. Umuwi ka nang mapayapa.”
49 Nagsasalita pa si Jesus nang dumating ang isang lalaking galing sa bahay ni Jairo. “Patay na po ang inyong anak!” sabi niya kay Jairo. “Huwag na po ninyong abalahin ang Guro.”
50 Nang ito'y marinig ni Jesus, sinabi niya kay Jairo, “Huwag kang matakot. Manalig ka lamang at siya'y gagaling.”
51 Pagdating sa bahay, wala siyang isinama sa loob kundi sina Pedro, Juan at Santiago, at ang mga magulang ng dalagita. 52 Nag-iiyakan ang lahat ng naroroon at kanilang tinatangisan ang bata. Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus, “Huwag kayong umiyak. Hindi patay ang bata; natutulog lamang.”
53 Pinagtawanan nila si Jesus sapagkat alam nilang patay na ang dalagita. 54 Ngunit hinawakan ni Jesus ang kamay nito at sinabi, “Bumangon ka, bata!” 55 Nagbalik ang hininga ng dalagita at ito'y agad na bumangon. Pagkatapos, pinabigyan siya ni Jesus ng pagkain. 56 Manghang-mangha ang mga magulang ng bata, ngunit pinagbilinan sila ni Jesus na huwag sabihin kaninuman ang pangyayaring ito.

Luke 8
New Living Translation
Women Who Followed Jesus
8 Soon afterward Jesus began a tour of the nearby towns and villages, preaching and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom of God. He took his twelve disciples with him, 2 along with some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases. Among them were Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons; 3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s business manager; Susanna; and many others who were contributing from their own resources to support Jesus and his disciples.
Parable of the Farmer Scattering Seed
4 One day Jesus told a story in the form of a parable to a large crowd that had gathered from many towns to hear him: 5 “A farmer went out to plant his seed. As he scattered it across his field, some seed fell on a footpath, where it was stepped on, and the birds ate it. 6 Other seed fell among rocks. It began to grow, but the plant soon wilted and died for lack of moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns that grew up with it and choked out the tender plants. 8 Still other seed fell on fertile soil. This seed grew and produced a crop that was a hundred times as much as had been planted!” When he had said this, he called out, “Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”
9 His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10 He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets[a] of the Kingdom of God. But I use parables to teach the others so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled:
‘When they look, they won’t really see.
When they hear, they won’t understand.’[b]
11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is God’s word. 12 The seeds that fell on the footpath represent those who hear the message, only to have the devil come and take it away from their hearts and prevent them from believing and being saved. 13 The seeds on the rocky soil represent those who hear the message and receive it with joy. But since they don’t have deep roots, they believe for a while, then they fall away when they face temptation. 14 The seeds that fell among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. And so they never grow into maturity. 15 And the seeds that fell on the good soil represent honest, good-hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest.
Parable of the Lamp
16 “No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or hides it under a bed. A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house. 17 For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all.
18 “So pay attention to how you hear. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what they think they understand will be taken away from them.”
The True Family of Jesus
19 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they couldn’t get to him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told Jesus, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and they want to see you.”
21 Jesus replied, “My mother and my brothers are all those who hear God’s word and obey it.”
Jesus Calms the Storm
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and started out. 23 As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger.
24 The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”
When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. 25 Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?”
The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him!”
Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Man
26 So they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes,[c] across the lake from Galilee. 27 As Jesus was climbing out of the boat, a man who was possessed by demons came out to meet him. For a long time he had been homeless and naked, living in the tombs outside the town.
28 As soon as he saw Jesus, he shrieked and fell down in front of him. Then he screamed, “Why are you interfering with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please, I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had already commanded the evil[d] spirit to come out of him. This spirit had often taken control of the man. Even when he was placed under guard and put in chains and shackles, he simply broke them and rushed out into the wilderness, completely under the demon’s power.
30 Jesus demanded, “What is your name?”
“Legion,” he replied, for he was filled with many demons. 31 The demons kept begging Jesus not to send them into the bottomless pit.[e]
32 There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding on the hillside nearby, and the demons begged him to let them enter into the pigs.
So Jesus gave them permission. 33 Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the entire herd plunged down the steep hillside into the lake and drowned.
34 When the herdsmen saw it, they fled to the nearby town and the surrounding countryside, spreading the news as they ran. 35 People rushed out to see what had happened. A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been freed from the demons. He was sitting at Jesus’ feet, fully clothed and perfectly sane, and they were all afraid. 36 Then those who had seen what happened told the others how the demon-possessed man had been healed. 37 And all the people in the region of the Gerasenes begged Jesus to go away and leave them alone, for a great wave of fear swept over them.
So Jesus returned to the boat and left, crossing back to the other side of the lake. 38 The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him. But Jesus sent him home, saying, 39 “No, go back to your family, and tell them everything God has done for you.” So he went all through the town proclaiming the great things Jesus had done for him.
Jesus Heals in Response to Faith
40 On the other side of the lake the crowds welcomed Jesus, because they had been waiting for him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a leader of the local synagogue, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come home with him. 42 His only daughter,[f] who was about twelve years old, was dying.
As Jesus went with him, he was surrounded by the crowds. 43 A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding,[g] and she could find no cure. 44 Coming up behind Jesus, she touched the fringe of his robe. Immediately, the bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
Everyone denied it, and Peter said, “Master, this whole crowd is pressing up against you.”
46 But Jesus said, “Someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.” 47 When the woman realized that she could not stay hidden, she began to tremble and fell to her knees in front of him. The whole crowd heard her explain why she had touched him and that she had been immediately healed. 48 “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49 While he was still speaking to her, a messenger arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. He told him, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.”
50 But when Jesus heard what had happened, he said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed.”
51 When they arrived at the house, Jesus wouldn’t let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the little girl’s father and mother. 52 The house was filled with people weeping and wailing, but he said, “Stop the weeping! She isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.”
53 But the crowd laughed at him because they all knew she had died. 54 Then Jesus took her by the hand and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!” 55 And at that moment her life[h] returned, and she immediately stood up! Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were overwhelmed, but Jesus insisted that they not tell anyone what had happened.
