Mark 5

Demons Driven Out by Jesus
5 They(A) came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.[a] 2 As soon as he got out of the boat, a man with an unclean(B) spirit(C) came out of the tombs(D) and met him. 3 He lived in the tombs,(E) and no one was able to restrain him anymore—not even with a chain(F)— 4 because he often had been bound with shackles and chains, but had torn the chains apart and smashed(G) the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue(H) him. 5 Night(I) and day among the tombs(J) and on the mountains,(K) he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and knelt down before him. 7 And he cried out with a loud voice, “What do you have to do with me, Jesus, Son(L) of the Most High God?(M) I beg you before God, don’t torment(N) me!” 8 For he had told him, “Come out of the man, you unclean(O) spirit!”(P)
9 “What is your name?” he asked him.
“My name is Legion,”(Q) he answered him, “because we are many.” 10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the region.
11 A large herd of pigs(R) was there, feeding(S) on the hillside. 12 The demons[b] begged him, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.” 13 So he gave them permission, and the unclean(T) spirits(U) came out and entered the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned there.
14 The men who tended them ran off(V) and reported it in the town and the countryside, and people went to see what had happened. 15 They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been demon-possessed,(W)(X) sitting there, dressed and in his right mind;(Y) and they were afraid.(Z) 16 Those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed(AA) man and told about the pigs. 17 Then they began to beg him to leave their region.
18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged him earnestly that he might remain with him. 19 Jesus did not let him but told him, “Go home to your own people, and report to them how much the Lord(AB) has done(AC) for you and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 So he went out and began to proclaim(AD) in the Decapolis(AE) how much Jesus had done for him, and they were all amazed.(AF)
A Girl Restored and a Woman Healed
21 When(AG) Jesus had crossed over again by boat[c] to the other side, a large crowd(AH) gathered around him while he was by the sea. 22 One of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus,(AI) came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet(AJ) 23 and begged him earnestly, “My little daughter is dying. Come and lay your hands on(AK) her so that she can get well[d](AL) and live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd was following and pressing against him.
25 Now a woman suffering from bleeding(AM) for twelve years 26 had endured(AN) much under many doctors.(AO) She had spent everything she had and was not helped at all. On the contrary, she became worse. 27 Having heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched(AP) his clothing.(AQ) 28 For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I’ll be made well.”(AR) 29 Instantly her flow of blood ceased, and she sensed in her body that she was healed(AS) of her affliction.
30 Immediately Jesus realized that power(AT) had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd(AU) and said, “Who touched my clothes?”(AV)
31 His disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing against you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
32 But he was looking around to see who had done this. 33 The woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down(AW) before him, and told him the whole truth.(AX) 34 “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith(AY) has saved you.(AZ) Go in peace and be healed(BA) from your affliction.”(BB)
35 While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the teacher(BC) anymore?”
36 When Jesus overheard[e] what was said, he told the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid.(BD) Only believe.” 37 He did not let anyone accompany him except Peter,(BE) James,(BF) and John,(BG) James’s brother. 38 They came to the leader’s house, and he saw a commotion—people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping?(BH) The child(BI) is not dead but asleep.”(BJ) 40 They laughed at him, but he put them all outside. He took the child’s father,(BK) mother, and those who were with him, and entered the place where the child was. 41 Then he took the child(BL) by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum”[f] (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up”(BM)). 42 Immediately the girl got up(BN) and began to walk.(BO) (She was twelve years old.) At this they were utterly astounded.(BP) 43 Then he gave them strict orders that no one should know about this(BQ) and told them to give her something to eat.

Jesus Heals a Man with a Demon
5 (A)They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes.[a] 2 And when Jesus[b] had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit. 3 (B)He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain, 4 for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and (C)fell down before him. 7 And (D)crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, (E)Son of (F)the Most High God? (G)I adjure you by God, do not torment me.” 8 For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” 9 And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is (H)Legion, for we are many.” 10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, 12 and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.” 13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea.
14 The herdsmen fled and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened. 15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed[c] man, the one who had had (I)the legion, sitting there, (J)clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 16 And those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and to the pigs. 17 And (K)they began to beg Jesus[d] to depart from their region. 18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him. 19 And he did not permit him but said to him, “Go home to your friends and (L)tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 And he went away and began to proclaim in (M)the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled.
Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus's Daughter
21 And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea. 22 (N)Then came one of (O)the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet 23 and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and (P)lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.” 24 And he went with him.
And a great crowd followed him and (Q)thronged about him. 25 And there was a woman (R)who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” 29 (S)And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her (T)disease. 30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that (U)power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” 31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’” 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling 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 (X)disease.”
35 While he was still speaking, there came from (Y)the ruler's house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why (Z)trouble (AA)the Teacher any further?” 36 But overhearing[e] what they said, Jesus said to (AB)the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” 37 And he allowed no one to follow him except (AC)Peter and James and (AD)John the brother of James. 38 They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus[f] saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 And when he had entered, he said to them, (AE)“Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but (AF)sleeping.” 40 And they laughed at him. But he (AG)put them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. 41 (AH)Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, (AI)arise.” 42 And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. 43 And (AJ)he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
Marcos 5
Reina-Valera 1995
El endemoniado gadareno(A)
5 Vinieron al otro lado del mar, a la región de los gadarenos. 2 Cuando salió él de la barca, en seguida vino a su encuentro, de los sepulcros, un hombre con un espíritu impuro 3 que habitaba en los sepulcros y nadie podía atarlo, ni aun con cadenas. 4 Muchas veces había sido atado con grillos y cadenas, pero las cadenas habían sido hechas pedazos por él, y desmenuzados los grillos. Nadie lo podía dominar. 5 Y siempre, de día y de noche, andaba gritando en los montes y en los sepulcros, e hiriéndose con piedras. 6 Cuando vio, pues, a Jesús de lejos, corrió y se arrodilló ante él. 7 Y clamando a gran voz, dijo:
—¿Qué tienes conmigo, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo? ¡Te conjuro por Dios que no me atormentes!
8 (Porque le decía: «Sal de este hombre, espíritu impuro.»)
9 Jesús le preguntó:
—¿Cómo te llamas?
Y respondió diciendo:
—Legión me llamo, porque somos muchos.
10 Y le rogaba mucho que no los enviara 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 Jesús, de inmediato, les dio permiso. Y saliendo aquellos espíritus impuros, entraron en los cerdos, los cuales eran como dos mil. El hato se precipitó al mar por un despeñadero, y en el mar se ahogaron.
14 Los que cuidaban los cerdos huyeron y dieron aviso en la ciudad y en los campos. Y la gente salió a ver qué era aquello que había sucedido. 15 Llegaron a Jesús y vieron al que había estado atormentado por el demonio, el que había tenido la legión, sentado, vestido y en su juicio cabal; y tuvieron miedo. 16 Y los que lo habían visto les contaron lo que le había acontecido al que había tenido el demonio, y lo de los cerdos. 17 Entonces comenzaron a rogarle que se fuera de sus contornos.
18 Al entrar él en la barca, el que había estado endemoniado le rogaba que lo dejara quedarse con él. 19 Pero 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 Él 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 con flujo de sangre(B)
21 Al pasar otra vez Jesús en una barca a la otra orilla, se reunió a su alrededor una gran multitud; y él estaba junto al mar. 22 Y vino un alto dignatario de la sinagoga, llamado Jairo. Al verlo, 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 viva.
24 Fue, pues, con él, y lo seguía una gran multitud, y lo apretaban. 25 Pero una mujer que desde hacía doce años padecía de flujo de sangre, 26 y había sufrido mucho a manos de muchos médicos, y había gastado todo lo que tenía y de nada le había servido, antes le iba peor, 27 cuando oyó hablar de Jesús se acercó por detrás entre la multitud y tocó su manto, 28 porque decía: «Si toco tan sólo su manto, seré salva.» 29 Inmediatamente la fuente de su sangre se secó, y sintió en el cuerpo que estaba sana de su azote. 30 Luego Jesús, conociendo en sí mismo el poder que había salido de él, volviéndose a la multitud, preguntó:
—¿Quién ha tocado mis vestidos?
31 Sus discípulos le dijeron:
—Ves que la multitud te aprieta, y preguntas: “¿Quién me ha tocado?”
32 Pero él miraba alrededor para ver quién lo había hecho. 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 Él le dijo:
—Hija, tu fe te ha salvado. Vete en paz y queda sana de tu enfermedad.
35 Mientras él aún hablaba, vinieron de casa del alto dignatario 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 alto dignatario de la sinagoga:
—No temas, cree solamente.
37 Y no permitió que lo siguiera nadie sino Pedro, Jacobo y Juan, hermano de Jacobo. 38 Vino a casa del alto dignatario de la sinagoga, y vio el alboroto y a los que lloraban y lamentaban mucho. 39 Entró y les dijo:
—¿Por qué alborotáis y lloráis? La niña no está muerta, sino dormida.
40 Y se burlaban de él. Pero 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 Tomó la mano de la niña y le dijo:
—¡Talita cumi! (que significa: “Niña, a ti te digo, levántate”).
42 Inmediatamente la niña se levantó y andaba, pues tenía doce años. Y la gente se llenó de asombro. 43 Pero él les insistió en que nadie lo supiera, y dijo que dieran de comer a la niña.
