鬼入豬群

他們來到海那邊格拉森人的地方。 耶穌一下船,就有一個被汙鬼附著的人從墳塋裡出來迎著他。 那人常住在墳塋裡,沒有人能捆住他,就是用鐵鏈也不能。 因為人屢次用腳鐐和鐵鏈捆鎖他,鐵鏈竟被他掙斷了,腳鐐也被他弄碎了。總沒有人能制伏他。 他晝夜常在墳塋裡和山中喊叫,又用石頭砍自己。 他遠遠地看見耶穌,就跑過去拜他, 大聲呼叫說:「至高神的兒子耶穌,我與你有什麼相干?我指著神懇求你,不要叫我受苦!」 是因耶穌曾吩咐他說:「汙鬼啊,從這人身上出來吧!」 耶穌問他說:「你名叫什麼?」回答說:「我名叫『群』,因為我們多的緣故。」 10 就再三地求耶穌,不要叫他們離開那地方。 11 在那裡山坡上,有一大群豬吃食。 12 鬼就央求耶穌,說:「求你打發我們往豬群裡,附著豬去。」 13 耶穌准了他們,汙鬼就出來,進入豬裡去。於是那群豬闖下山崖,投在海裡淹死了。豬的數目約有二千。 14 放豬的就逃跑了,去告訴城裡和鄉下的人。眾人就來,要看是什麼事。 15 他們來到耶穌那裡,看見那被鬼附著的人,就是從前被群鬼所附的,坐著,穿上衣服,心裡明白過來,他們就害怕。 16 看見這事的,便將鬼附之人所遇見的和那群豬的事都告訴了眾人。 17 眾人就央求耶穌離開他們的境界。 18 耶穌上船的時候,那從前被鬼附著的人懇求和耶穌同在。 19 耶穌不許,卻對他說:「你回家去到你的親屬那裡,將主為你所做的是何等大的事,是怎樣憐憫你,都告訴他們。」 20 那人就走了,在低加波利傳揚耶穌為他做了何等大的事,眾人就都稀奇。

21 耶穌坐船又渡到那邊去,就有許多人到他那裡聚集,他正在海邊上。 22 有一個管會堂的人,名叫睚魯,來見耶穌,就俯伏在他腳前, 23 再三地求他,說:「我的小女兒快要死了,求你去按手在她身上,使她痊癒,得以活了。」 24 耶穌就和他同去。有許多人跟隨,擁擠他。

醫患血漏的女人

25 有一個女人患了十二年的血漏, 26 在好些醫生手裡受了許多的苦,又花盡了她所有的,一點也不見好,病勢反倒更重了。 27 她聽見耶穌的事,就從後頭來,雜在眾人中間,摸耶穌的衣裳, 28 意思說:「我只摸他的衣裳,就必痊癒。」 29 於是她血漏的源頭立刻乾了,她便覺得身上的災病好了。 30 耶穌頓時心裡覺得有能力從自己身上出去,就在眾人中間轉過來,說:「誰摸我的衣裳?」 31 門徒對他說:「你看眾人擁擠你,還說『誰摸我』嗎?」 32 耶穌周圍觀看,要見做這事的女人。 33 那女人知道在自己身上所成的事,就恐懼戰兢,來俯伏在耶穌跟前,將實情全告訴他。 34 耶穌對她說:「女兒,你的信救了你,平平安安地回去吧!你的災病痊癒了。」

耶穌叫睚魯的女兒復活

35 還說話的時候,有人從管會堂的家裡來,說:「你的女兒死了,何必還勞動先生呢?」 36 耶穌聽見所說的話,就對管會堂的說:「不要怕,只要信!」 37 於是帶著彼得雅各雅各的兄弟約翰同去,不許別人跟隨他。 38 他們來到管會堂的家裡,耶穌看見那裡亂嚷,並有人大大地哭泣哀號, 39 進到裡面就對他們說:「為什麼亂嚷哭泣呢?孩子不是死了,是睡著了。」 40 他們就嗤笑耶穌。耶穌把他們都攆出去,就帶著孩子的父母和跟隨的人進了孩子所在的地方, 41 就拉著孩子的手,對她說:「大利大,古米!」(翻出來就是說:「閨女,我吩咐你起來!」 42 那閨女立時起來走,他們就大大地驚奇;閨女已經十二歲了。 43 耶穌切切地囑咐他們,不要叫人知道這事,又吩咐給她東西吃。

Jesus Frees a Man From Evil Spirits(A)

Jesus and his followers went across the lake to the area where the Gerasene people[a] lived. When Jesus got out of the boat, a man came to him from the caves where the dead are buried. This man had an evil spirit living inside him. He lived in the burial caves. No one could keep him tied up, even with chains. Many times people had put chains on his hands and feet, but he broke the chains. No one was strong enough to control him. Day and night he stayed around the burial caves and on the hills. He would scream and cut himself with rocks.

While Jesus was still far away, the man saw him. He ran to Jesus and bowed down before him. 7-8 As Jesus was saying, “You evil spirit, come out of this man,” the man shouted loudly, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you in God’s name not to punish me!”

Then Jesus asked the man, “What is your name?”

The man answered, “My name is Legion,[b] because there are many spirits inside me.” 10 The spirits inside the man begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of that area.

11 A large herd of pigs was eating on a hill near there. 12 The evil spirits begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs. Let us go into them.” 13 So Jesus allowed them to do this. The evil spirits left the man and went into the pigs. Then the herd of pigs ran down the hill and into the lake. They were all drowned. There were about 2000 pigs in that herd.

14 The men who had the work of caring for the pigs ran away. They ran to the town and to the farms and told everyone what happened. The people went out to see. 15 They came to Jesus, and they saw the man who had the many evil spirits. He was sitting down and was wearing clothes. He was in his right mind again. When they saw this, they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen what Jesus did told the others what happened to the man who had the demons living in him. And they also told about the pigs. 17 Then the people began to beg Jesus to leave their area.

18 Jesus was preparing to leave in the boat. The man who was now free from the demons begged to go with him. 19 But Jesus did not allow the man to go. He said, “Go home to your family and friends. Tell them about all that the Lord did for you. Tell them how the Lord was good to you.”

20 So the man left and told the people in the Ten Towns about the great things Jesus did for him. Everyone was amazed.

Jesus Gives Life to a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(B)

21 Jesus went back to the other side of the lake in the boat. There, a large crowd of people gathered around him on the shore. 22 A leader of the synagogue came. His name was Jairus. He saw Jesus and bowed down before him. 23 He begged Jesus again and again, saying, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and lay your hands on her. Then she will be healed and will live.”

24 So Jesus went with Jairus. Many people followed Jesus. They were pushing very close around him.

25 There among the people was a woman who had been bleeding for the past twelve years. 26 She had suffered very much. Many doctors had tried to help her, and all the money she had was spent, but she was not improving. In fact, her sickness was getting worse.

27 The woman heard about Jesus, so she followed him with the other people and touched his coat. 28 She thought, “If I can just touch his clothes, that will be enough to heal me.” 29 As soon as she touched his coat, her bleeding stopped. She felt that her body was healed from all the suffering. 30 Jesus immediately felt power go out from him, so he stopped and turned around. “Who touched my clothes?” he asked.

31 The followers said to Jesus, “There are so many people pushing against you. But you ask, ‘Who touched me?’”

32 But Jesus continued looking for the one who touched him. 33 The woman knew that she was healed, so she came and bowed at Jesus’ feet. She was shaking with fear. She told Jesus the whole story. 34 He said to her, “Dear woman, you are made well because you believed. Go in peace. You will not suffer anymore.”

35 While Jesus was still there speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. They said, “Your daughter is dead. There is no need to bother the Teacher.”

36 But Jesus did not care what the men said. He said to the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

37 Jesus let only Peter, James, and John the brother of James go with him. 38 They went to the synagogue leader’s house, where Jesus saw many people crying loudly. There was a lot of confusion. 39 He entered the house and said, “Why are you people crying and making so much noise? This child is not dead. She is only sleeping.” 40 But everyone laughed at him.

Jesus told the people to leave the house. Then he went into the room where the child was. He brought the child’s father and mother and his three followers into the room with him. 41 Then Jesus held the girl’s hand and said to her, “Talitha, koum!” (This means “Little girl, I tell you to stand up!”) 42 The girl immediately stood up and began walking. (She was twelve years old.) The father and mother and the followers were amazed. 43 Jesus gave the father and mother very strict orders not to tell people about this. Then he told them to give the girl some food to eat.

Footnotes

  1. Mark 5:1 Gerasene people Some Greek copies have “Gadarenes” and others have “Gergesenes.”
  2. Mark 5:9 Legion This name means very many. A legion was about 6000 men in the Roman army.

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.
