Chúa Chữa Lành Người Bị Quỷ Ám

(Mat 8:28-34; Lu 8:26-39)

Sau đó họ đến bờ biển bên kia, vào miền Ghê-ra-sê-nê. Khi Ngài vừa bước ra khỏi thuyền, liền có một người bị tà linh ô uế nhập từ nghĩa địa ra đón Ngài. Ông sống giữa các mồ mả. Không ai có thể kiềm chế ông được nữa, ngay cả xiềng xích cũng vô dụng, vì ông thường bị cùm và bị xiềng, nhưng ông đã bứt xiềng và bẻ cùm, và không ai đủ sức chế ngự ông. Ngày đêm ông ở giữa các mồ mả và trên núi; ông thường gào rú và lấy đá đập vào mình. Khi thấy Ðức Chúa Jesus ở đàng xa, ông chạy đến, sấp mình trước mặt Ngài, và nói lớn tiếng, “Lạy Ðức Chúa Jesus, Con Ðức Chúa Trời Tối Cao, Ngài định làm gì với tôi? Tôi nhân danh Ðức Chúa Trời van xin Ngài đừng hành hạ tôi.” Số là Ngài đã nói với ông, “Hỡi tà linh ô uế, hãy ra khỏi người này.”

Ngài hỏi ông, “Ngươi tên chi?”

Ông đáp, “Tôi tên là ‘Ðạo quân,’ vì chúng tôi rất đông.” 10 Rồi ông cứ lải nhải van xin Ngài đừng đuổi chúng ra khỏi miền đó.

11 Khi ấy gần đó có một bầy heo rất đông đang ăn trên triền núi. 12 Chúng van nài, “Xin sai chúng tôi đến với bầy heo để chúng tôi có thể nhập vào chúng.” 13 Ngài cho phép. Bầy quỷ ô uế xuất ra khỏi người ấy và nhập vào bầy heo. Bầy heo từ trên triền núi cùng nhau lao mình xuống biển. Có khoảng hai ngàn con heo chết chìm dưới biển.

14 Thấy vậy những người chăn heo bỏ chạy và thuật chuyện ấy khắp thành và các làng xung quanh. Người ta đổ xô nhau đến xem việc đã xảy ra. 15 Khi họ đến gặp Ðức Chúa Jesus và thấy người bị quỷ ám, tức người vốn đã bị bầy quỷ ‘đạo quân’ ám nhập, ngồi đó, ăn mặc đàng hoàng, và đầu óc tỉnh táo, họ phát sợ. 16 Những người chứng kiến việc ấy thuật lại cho họ những gì đã xảy đến cho người bị quỷ ám và bầy heo. 17 Họ liền nài xin Ngài rời khỏi miền của họ.

18 Ðang khi Ngài xuống thuyền, người vốn bị quỷ ám đến xin Ngài cho ông theo Ngài. 19 Ngài không cho nhưng bảo ông, “Hãy về nhà ngươi, về với bà con bạn hữu ngươi, thuật lại mọi việc lớn lao mà Chúa đã làm cho ngươi, và cho họ biết Ngài đã thương xót ngươi thế nào.” 20 Ông đi về và bắt đầu rao truyền khắp miền Ðê-ca-pô-li[a] những việc lớn lao mà Ðức Chúa Jesus đã làm cho ông, và ai nghe đều lấy làm lạ.

Giai-ru Xin Chúa Cứu Chữa Con Gái của Ông

(Mat 9:18-19; Lu 8:40-42)

21 Ðức Chúa Jesus xuống thuyền và trở lại bờ bên kia; bấy giờ một đám đông rất lớn tụ lại quanh Ngài, đang khi Ngài ở gần bờ biển. 22 Này, một trong những người quản lý hội đường tên là Giai-ru đến đó; vừa khi thấy Ngài ông sấp mình xuống nơi chân Ngài 23 và khẩn thiết cầu xin Ngài rằng, “Con gái tôi sắp chết. Kính xin Thầy đến đặt tay trên cháu, để cháu được lành và sẽ sống.” 24 Vậy Ngài đi với ông. Một đoàn dân rất đông đi theo Ngài và chen lấn nhau quanh Ngài.

Chúa Chữa Lành Người Ðàn Bà Bị Băng Huyết

(Mat 9:20-22; Lu 8:43-48)

25 Khi ấy có một bà bị băng huyết đã mười hai năm. 26 Bà đã khổ sở làm theo cách chữa trị dưới tay nhiều y sĩ và đã tốn hết tiền bạc, nhưng bịnh tình đã không thuyên giảm mà còn trở nên trầm trọng hơn. 27 Bà đã nghe người ta nói về Ðức Chúa Jesus, nên bà chen lấn trong đám đông đang theo Ngài và sờ vào áo Ngài, 28 vì bà nghĩ rằng, “Nếu tôi chỉ được chạm vào áo Ngài thì tôi sẽ được lành.” 29 Ngay lập tức máu trong người bà cầm lại, và bà cảm biết trong người rằng bịnh của bà đã được chữa lành. 30 Ðức Chúa Jesus biết ngay rằng quyền năng từ Ngài vừa xuất ra; Ngài quay lại đám đông và hỏi, “Ai đã chạm vào áo Ta?”

31 Các môn đồ nói với Ngài, “Thầy thấy đó, người ta đông đúc chen lấn nhau quanh Thầy, mà Thầy còn hỏi, ‘Ai đã đụng vào Ta?’ 32 Nhưng Ngài vẫn tiếp tục nhìn quanh, để xem ai đã làm điều đó. 33 Bấy giờ người đàn bà biết điều gì đã xảy đến cho mình, nên sợ và run, đến sấp mình trước mặt Ngài, và trình bày hết sự thật. 34 Ngài nói với bà, “Hỡi con gái, đức tin của con đã làm cho con được cứu chữa. Hãy đi bình an và được lành bịnh.”

Con Gái của Giai-ru Ðược Sống Lại

(Mat 9:23-26; Lu 8:49-56)

35 Khi Ngài còn đang nói, có mấy người từ nhà của người quản lý hội đường đến và báo rằng, “Con gái ông đã chết rồi. Sao ông còn làm phiền Thầy làm chi?”

36 Nhưng khi Ðức Chúa Jesus nghe những lời đó, Ngài nói với người quản lý hội đường, “Ðừng sợ, chỉ tin mà thôi.” 37 Ngài không cho ai đi theo Ngài ngoại trừ Phi-rơ, Gia-cơ, và Giăng em của Gia-cơ. 38 Khi họ đến nhà người quản lý hội đường, Ngài thấy một cảnh ồn ào hỗn độn, kẻ khóc lóc, người kêu gào. 39 Khi vào trong nhà, Ngài nói với họ, “Tại sao các ngươi kêu gào và khóc than như thế? Ðứa trẻ không chết đâu, nhưng chỉ ngủ thôi.” 40 Họ chế nhạo Ngài. Sau khi mọi người được mời ra ngoài, Ngài đưa cha mẹ đứa trẻ và các môn đồ Ngài vào chỗ đứa trẻ nằm. 41 Ngài nắm tay đứa trẻ và nói với nó, “Ta-li-tha Cum,” nghĩa là “Hỡi con gái nhỏ, Ta truyền cho con: hãy đứng dậy.” 42 Ngay lập tức đứa trẻ đứng dậy và bước đi, vì nó đã mười hai tuổi. Thấy vậy họ vô cùng kinh ngạc. 43 Ngài nghiêm dặn họ đừng cho ai biết việc ấy và bảo họ hãy cho đứa trẻ ăn.

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.

  3. Mark 5:36 Or Ignoring

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.

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.
