路加福音 8
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
跟从耶稣的妇女
8 不久,耶稣周游各城各村讲道,宣扬 神的国的福音,和他在一起的有十二个门徒, 2 还有几个蒙了医治、脱离污鬼与疾病的妇女,其中有称为抹大拉的马利亚,曾有七个鬼从她身上赶出来; 3 有希律的管家古撒的妻子约亚拿,又有苏珊娜,和许多别的妇女,她们都用自己的财物供给耶稣和门徒。
撒种的比喻(A)
4 当时有许多人聚在一起,还有人从各城来到耶稣那里,他就用比喻说: 5 “有一个撒种的出去撒种,撒的时候,有的落在路旁,被人践踏,或给空中的小鸟吃掉。 6 有的落在石头地上,一长出来就枯萎了,因为得不着滋润。 7 有的落在荆棘丛中,荆棘也一齐生长,把它挤住了。 8 有的落在好土里,就生长起来,结出百倍的果实。”他说了这些话,就大声说:“有耳可听的,就应当听!”
用比喻的目的(B)
9 门徒问他这比喻是甚么意思。 10 他说:“ 神的国的奥秘,只给你们知道,对别人就用比喻,叫他们看却看不见,听却听不明白。
解释撒种的比喻(C)
11 “这比喻是说,种子是 神的道, 12 那落在路旁的,就是人听了,魔鬼随即来到,从他们心里把道夺去,恐怕他们相信就得救了。 13 那落在石头地上的,就是人听了,欢欢喜喜地接受,但是没有根,不过是暂时相信,一旦遭遇试炼,就倒退了。 14 那落在荆棘里的,就是人听了,走开以后,被今世的忧虑、财富和宴乐挤住了,结不出成熟的子粒来。 15 但那落在好土里的,就是人用诚实良善的心来听,把道持守住,忍耐着结出果实。
隐藏的事终必显露(D)
16 “没有人点灯用器皿盖上,或放在床底下,而是放在灯台上,叫进来的人都看得见光。 17 因为没有甚么隐藏的事不被显明,也没有甚么掩盖的事不被人知道而暴露出来。 18 所以你们应当留心怎样听,因为凡是有的,还要给他;凡是没有的,连他自以为有的,也要拿去。”
谁是耶稣的母亲和弟兄(E)
19 耶稣的母亲和弟弟来到他那里,因为人多,不能到他跟前。 20 有人转告耶稣:“你母亲和弟弟站在外面要见你。” 21 他回答他们:“听了 神的道而遵行的人,才是我的母亲,我的弟兄。”
平静风浪(F)
22 有一天,耶稣和门徒上了船,他对他们说:“我们渡到海那边去吧。”他们就开了船。 23 船行的时候,他睡着了。海上忽然起了狂风,他们全身湿透,非常危险。 24 门徒来叫醒耶稣,说:“主啊!主啊!我们没命了!”他醒过来,斥责风浪,风浪就止息、平静了。 25 耶稣对他们说:“你们的信心在哪里?”他们又惧怕、又希奇,彼此说:“这到底是谁?他吩咐风浪,连风浪也听从他。”
治好鬼附的格拉森人(G)
26 船到了格拉森人的地区,正在加利利对面, 27 耶稣一上岸,就有城里一个被鬼附着的人,迎面而来。这人已经很久不穿衣服,不住在家里,只住在坟墓里。 28 他一见耶稣,就俯伏喊叫,大声说:“至高 神的儿子耶稣,我跟你有甚么关系呢?求你不要使我受苦。” 29 因为耶稣已经吩咐这污灵从那人身上出来。原来这污灵屡次抓住那人;那人被铁链和脚炼捆锁,而且有人看管,他竟挣断锁炼,被鬼赶入旷野。 30 耶稣问他:“你叫甚么名字?”他说:“群。”因为进到那人里面的鬼很多。 31 他们求耶稣,不要赶他们进入无底坑。
32 那里有一大群猪正在山上吃东西。他们求耶稣准他们进入猪群。耶稣准许了, 33 鬼就从那人身上出来,进入猪群,猪群闯下山崖,掉在海里淹死了。 34 放猪的看见所发生的事就逃跑,到城里和各乡村把这事传开。 35 众人就出来看发生了甚么事。来到耶稣那里,看见鬼已经离开的那人,穿著衣服,神志清醒,坐在耶稣脚前,他们就害怕。 36 当时看见的人,把被鬼附过的人怎样得到医治,说给他们听。 37 格拉森一带的人,都要求耶稣离开他们,因为他们大大惧怕。他就上船回去了。 38 鬼已经离开的那人求耶稣,要跟他在一起;但耶稣打发他回去,说: 39 “你回家去,述说 神为你作了怎样的事。”他就走遍全城,传讲耶稣为他作了怎样的事。
治好血漏病的女人(H)
40 耶稣回来的时候,众人欢迎他,因为大家都在等着他。 41 那时,有一个人来了,名叫叶鲁,他是一位会堂主管。他俯伏在耶稣脚前,求他往他家里去, 42 因为他的独生女,约十二岁,快要死了。耶稣去的时候,群众拥挤着他。
43 有一个女人,患了十二年的血漏病,在医生手里花尽了全部养生的(有些抄本无“在医生手里花尽了全部养生的”一句),没有一个能医好她。 44 她从后面挤来,一摸耶稣的衣裳繸子,血就立刻止住。 45 耶稣说:“摸我的是谁?”众人都不承认。彼得说:“主啊,众人都拥挤着你。” 46 耶稣说:“必定有人摸我,因为我觉得有能力从我身上出去。” 47 那女人见不能隐瞒,就战战兢兢地过来,向他俯伏,把摸他的缘故,和怎样立刻得到医治,在众人面前说出来。 48 耶稣对她说:“女儿,你的信使你痊愈了,平安地去吧!”
使女孩复活(I)
49 耶稣还在说话的时候,有人从会堂主管家里来,说:“你的女儿死了,不必再劳动老师了。” 50 耶稣听见就对他说:“不要怕,只要信,她必得痊愈。” 51 到了那家,除了彼得、约翰、雅各和女孩的父母以外,他不准任何人同他进屋里去。 52 众人都在为女孩痛哭哀号,他说:“不要哭!她不是死了,而是睡着了。” 53 他们明知女孩已经死了,就嘲笑他。 54 他进去拉着女孩的手,叫她说:“孩子,起来!” 55 她的灵魂回来了,她就立刻起来。耶稣吩咐给她东西吃。 56 她父母非常惊奇。耶稣嘱咐他们不要把他所作的事告诉人。
路加福音 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
撒种的比喻
8 此后,耶稣到各城镇去传扬上帝国的福音。同行的有十二使徒, 2 还有几个曾被邪灵和疾病缠身、现在已被医治的妇女。其中有抹大拉的玛丽亚,耶稣曾经从她身上赶出七个鬼, 3 还有希律的管家苦撒的妻子约亚拿,此外还有苏撒拿等其他妇女。她们用自己的钱财资助耶稣和门徒。
4 那时,人群络绎不绝地从各地聚集到耶稣面前,耶稣用比喻教导他们,说: 5 “有一个农夫到田里撒种,有些种子落在路旁,被人践踏,又被飞鸟吃掉了; 6 有些落在盖着浅土的石头地上,因水分不足,幼苗刚长出来就枯萎了; 7 有些落在荆棘丛中,荆棘长起来便把幼苗挤住了; 8 有些落在沃土里,发芽生长,结出百倍的果实。”耶稣讲完这番话后,高声说:“有耳可听的,就要留心听。”
9 门徒请耶稣解释这比喻的意思, 10 耶稣便说:“上帝国的奥秘只让你们知道,对其他人,我就用比喻,使他们看却看不见,听却听不明白。 11 这个比喻的意思是这样,种子代表上帝的道, 12 种子落在路旁是指人听了道,随后魔鬼来把道从他们心里夺走了,不让他们相信并得救。 13 种子落在盖着浅土的石头地上是指人听了道,欣然接受了,但是没有根基,只是暂时相信,一遇到试炼就放弃了。 14 种子落在荆棘丛中是指人听了道,后来被生活的忧虑、钱财和享乐缠住了,以致结不出成熟的果实来。 15 种子落在沃土里则是指人听了道,用诚实良善的心坚忍持守,至终结出果实。
点灯的比喻
16 “没有人点了灯,却用器皿把它盖起来或放到床底下,而是放在灯台上,使进来的人能见到光。 17 掩盖的事终会暴露出来,隐藏的秘密终会被人知道。 18 因此,你们要留心听,因为凡有的,还要给他更多;凡没有的,连他自以为已经拥有的也要被夺去。”
耶稣的亲属
19 这时,耶稣的母亲和兄弟来找祂,由于人太多,他们无法靠近耶稣, 20 有人就对祂说:“你的母亲和兄弟在外面想见你。” 21 耶稣却说:“听见上帝的话语并遵行的人就是我的母亲、我的弟兄。”
平静风浪
22 有一天,耶稣对门徒说:“我们到湖的对岸去吧。”于是他们坐船前往对岸。 23 途中耶稣睡着了。不料湖上忽然狂风大作,船灌满了水,非常危险。 24 门徒过来唤醒耶稣,说:“主啊,主啊!我们快淹死了!”
耶稣醒来,就斥责风浪,顿时风平浪静了。
25 耶稣对他们说:“你们的信心在哪里呢?”
门徒又惊又怕,彼此议论说:“祂究竟是谁?一发命令,连风浪都听祂的!”
格拉森赶鬼
26 他们渡过加利利湖,到了格拉森地区。 27 耶稣上岸后,迎面遇见当地一个被鬼附身的人。那人长期赤身露体,不住在房屋里,只住在墓穴中。 28 他一见到耶稣,就扑倒在祂面前,高声喊叫:“至高上帝的儿子耶稣,我和你有什么关系?求求你,不要折磨我!” 29 这是因为耶稣已命令污鬼离开那人。那人多次被污鬼操纵,人们用铁链脚镣把他锁起来看管,他竟把锁链也扯断,被鬼催逼到荒野。
30 耶稣问他:“你叫什么名字?”
他说:“我叫‘群’。”因为有一大群鬼附在那人身上。 31 鬼不断央求耶稣不要叫它们到无底坑去。
32 当时有一大群猪在附近山坡上觅食,污鬼就央求耶稣准许它们进入猪群,耶稣答应了。 33 于是那群鬼便离开那人,进入猪群。那群猪就一路奔下陡坡,冲进湖里淹死了。 34 放猪的人见此情形拔腿就跑,把这事告诉了城里和乡下的人。 35 人们出来看个究竟,到了耶稣那里,发现那曾被鬼附身的人衣着整齐、神智清醒地坐在耶稣脚前,他们都很害怕。 36 目击者把事情的始末告诉了他们。 37 格拉森地区的居民都十分害怕,请求耶稣离开那里,耶稣便乘船回去了。
38 那从前被鬼附身的人恳求跟耶稣同行,耶稣却对他说: 39 “你回家吧,把上帝为你所行的奇事告诉别人。”他就回去,走遍全城,四处传扬耶稣为他所行的奇事。
雅鲁求救
40 耶稣回到对岸,受到等候在那里的百姓的欢迎。 41 一个名叫雅鲁的会堂主管走过来俯伏在耶稣脚前,求耶稣到他家去,因为他有一个大约十二岁的独生女快要死了。
42 耶稣前去雅鲁家的时候,人群拥挤着祂。
患血漏病妇人的信心
43 有一个患了十二年血漏病的妇人耗尽了积蓄,到处求医,但没有人能医治她。 44 妇人挤到耶稣的背后,摸了一下祂衣服的穗边,她的血漏立刻止住了。
45 耶稣问:“谁摸我?”没有人说摸过祂。
彼得说:“老师,众人都在拥挤你。”
46 耶稣却说:“一定有人摸了我,因为我感觉有能力从我身上出去。”
47 那妇人知道无法隐瞒,就战战兢兢地走过来,俯伏在耶稣脚前,把她摸了耶稣的衣裳后顽疾马上痊愈的始末当众说了出来。
48 耶稣对她说:“女儿,你的信心救了你!安心回去吧。”
雅鲁女儿死而复活
49 耶稣还在说话的时候,有人从雅鲁家赶来,对雅鲁说:“你的女儿已经死了,不用麻烦老师了。”
50 耶稣听见,就对雅鲁说:“不要怕,只要信。你的女儿一定会好的!”
51 到了雅鲁家,耶稣只准彼得、雅各、约翰和雅鲁夫妇跟祂进去。 52 屋内的人都在为那女孩哀伤哭泣,耶稣说:“不要哭,她没有死,只是睡着了。” 53 众人就讥笑祂,因为他们明明知道那女孩死了。 54 耶稣拉着那女孩的手,说:“孩子,起来!” 55 她的灵魂就回来了,她立刻站了起来。耶稣吩咐人给她东西吃。 56 她的父母非常惊讶,耶稣却嘱咐他们不要把这事传开。
Luke 8
New Life Version
Jesus Teaches in Galilee
8 After this Jesus went to all the cities and towns preaching and telling the Good News about the holy nation of God. The twelve followers were with Him. 2 Some women who had been healed of demons and diseases were with Him. Mary Magdalene, who had had seven demons put out of her, was one of them. 3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza who was one of Herod’s helpers, was another one. Susanna and many others also cared for Jesus by using what they had.
The Picture-Story of the Man Who Planted Seed (A)
4 Many people came together from every town to Jesus. He told them a picture-story.
5 “A man went out to plant seed. As he planted the seed, some fell by the side of the road. It was walked on and birds came and ate it. 6 Some seed fell between rocks. As soon as it started to grow, it dried up because it had no water. 7 Some seed fell among thorns. The thorns grew and did not give the seed room to grow. 8 Some seed fell on good ground. It grew and gave one hundred times as much grain.” When Jesus had finished saying this, He cried out, “You have ears, then listen!”
9 His followers asked Him what this picture-story meant. 10 Jesus said, “You were given the secrets about the holy nation of God. Others are told picture-stories. As they look, they do not see. As they hear, they do not understand.
Jesus Tells about the Man Who Planted Seed
11 “This is what the picture-story means. The seed is the Word of God. 12 Those by the side of the road hear the Word. Then the devil comes and takes the Word from their hearts. He does not want them to believe and be saved from the punishment of sin. 13 Those which fell among rocks are those who when they hear the Word receive it with joy. These have no root. For awhile they believe, but when they are tempted they give up. 14 Those which fell among thorns hear the Word but go their own way. The cares of this life let the thorns grow. A love for money lets the thorns grow also. And the fun of this life lets the thorns grow. Their grain never becomes full-grown. 15 But those which fell on good ground have heard the Word. They keep it in a good and true heart and they keep on giving good grain.
The Picture-Story of the Lamp
16 “No man lights a lamp and puts it under a pail or under a bed. He puts it on a lamp-stand so all who come into the room may see it. 17 Nothing is secret but what will be known. Anything that is hidden will be brought into the light. 18 Be careful how you listen! Whoever has, to him will be given. Whoever does not have, even the little he has will be taken from him.”
The New Kind of Family (B)
19 The mother of Jesus and His brothers came to Him. They could not get near Him because of so many people. 20 Someone said to Jesus, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside. They want to see You.” 21 Jesus said to them, “My mother and brothers are these who hear the Word of God and do it.”
The Wind and Waves Obey Jesus (C)
22 On one of those days Jesus and His followers got into a boat. Jesus said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” Then they pushed out into the water. 23 As they were going, Jesus fell asleep. A wind storm came over the lake. The boat was filling with water and they were in danger. 24 The followers came to awake Jesus. They said, “Teacher! Teacher! We are going to die!” Then Jesus got up and spoke sharp words to the wind and the high waves. The wind stopped blowing and there were no more waves. 25 He said to them, “Where is your faith?” The followers were surprised and afraid. They said to each other, “What kind of a man is He? He speaks to the wind and the waves and they obey Him.”
Demons Ask Jesus to Let Them Live in Pigs (D)
26 They came to the land of the Gadarenes, which is on the other side of the country of Galilee. 27 As Jesus stepped out on land, a man met Him who had come from the city. This man had demons in him. For a long time he had worn no clothes. He did not live in a house, but lived among the graves. 28 When he saw Jesus, he got down before Him and cried with a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High? I beg of You not to hurt me!” 29 For Jesus had spoken to the demon to come out of the man. Many times the demon had taken hold of him. The man had to be tied with chains. But he would break the chains and be taken by the demon into the desert.
30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And the demon answered, “Many,” because many demons had gone into him. 31 The demons asked Jesus not to send them to the hole without a bottom in the earth. 32 There were many pigs feeding on the side of the mountain. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs. Jesus said they could. 33 The demons came out of the man and went into the pigs. Then the many pigs ran down the side of the mountain into the water and died.
34 The men who cared for the pigs ran fast and told what had happened in the town and in the country. 35 People came to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and saw the man from whom the demons had been sent. He was sitting at the feet of Jesus with clothes on and had the right use of his mind. The people were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told how the man who had had the demons was healed. 37 Then all the people of the country of the Gadarenes begged Jesus to go away from them. They were very much afraid. Jesus got into the boat and went back to the other side.
38 The man out of whom the demons had gone begged to go with Jesus. But Jesus sent him away and said, 39 “Go back to your house and tell everything God has done for you.” He went back and told all the people of the city what great things Jesus had done for him.
Two Were Healed through Faith (E)
40 Many people were glad to see Jesus when He got back. They were waiting for Him. 41 A man named Jairus was a leader of the Jewish place of worship. As he came to Jesus, he got down at His feet. He asked Jesus if He would come to his house. 42 He had only one daughter and she was dying. This girl was about twelve years old. As Jesus went, the people pushed Him from every side.
43 A woman had been sick for twelve years with a flow of blood. (*She had spent all the money she had on doctors.) But she could not be healed by anyone. 44 She came behind Jesus and touched the bottom of His coat. At once the flow of blood stopped. 45 Jesus said, “Who touched Me?” Everyone said that they had not touched Him. Peter said, “Teacher, so many people are pushing You from every side and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’” 46 Then Jesus said, “Someone touched Me because I know power has gone from Me.” 47 When the woman saw she could not hide it, she came shaking. She got down before Jesus. Then she told Jesus in front of all the people why she had touched Him. She told how she was healed at once. 48 Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
49 While Jesus was yet talking, a man came from the house of the leader of the place of worship. This man said to Jairus, “Your daughter is dead. Do not make the Teacher use anymore of His time.” 50 Jesus heard it and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid, only believe. She will be made well.”
51 Jesus went into the house. He let only Peter and James and John and the father and mother of the girl go in with Him. 52 Everyone was crying and full of sorrow because of her. Jesus said, “Do not cry. She is not dead, but is sleeping.” 53 Then they laughed at Jesus because they knew she was dead. 54 Jesus sent them all out. He took the girl by the hand and said, “Child, get up!” 55 Her spirit came back and she got up at once. Jesus told them to bring her food. 56 Her parents were surprised and wondered about it. Then Jesus told them they should tell no one what had happened.
Luke 8
New International Version
The Parable of the Sower(A)
8 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God.(B) The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene)(C) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s(D) household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.
4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: 5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. 6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”
When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(E)
9 His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10 He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you,(F) but to others I speak in parables, so that,
11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.(H) 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.(I) 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches(J) and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.
A Lamp on a Stand
16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.(K) 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.(L) 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”(M)
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers(N)
19 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers(O) are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”(P)
Jesus Calms the Storm(Q)(R)
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master,(S) we’re going to drown!”
He got up and rebuked(T) the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.(U) 25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.
In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”
Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(V)(W)
26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[b] which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,(X) Jesus, Son of the Most High God?(Y) I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.
30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.(Z)
32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake(AA) and was drowned.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet,(AB) dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed(AC) man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them,(AD) because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(AE)
40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader,(AF) came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.
As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(AG) for twelve years,[c] but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak,(AH) and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master,(AI) the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me;(AJ) I know that power has gone out from me.”(AK)
47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(AL) Go in peace.”(AM)
49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(AN) “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”
50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James,(AO) and the child’s father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning(AP) for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”(AQ)
53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!”(AR) 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.(AS)
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.
