治好鬼附的格拉森人(A)

他们到了海的那边,进入格拉森人的地区。 耶稣一下船,就有一个被污灵附着的人,从墓地里迎面而来。 那人经常住在坟墓中间,从来没有人能绑住他,甚至用锁炼都不能。 曾经有很多次,人用脚镣和锁炼捆绑他,锁炼却被他挣断,脚镣也被他弄碎,始终没有人能制伏他。 他昼夜在坟墓里和山野间喊叫,又用石头砍自己。 他远远地看见耶稣,就跑过去拜他, 大声呼叫,说:“至高 神的儿子耶稣,我跟你有甚么关系呢?我指着 神恳求你,不要叫我受苦。” 因为当时耶稣吩咐他:“你这污灵,从这人身上出来!” 耶稣问他:“你叫甚么名字?”他回答:“我名叫‘群’,因为我们众多。” 10 他再三央求耶稣,不要把他们从那地方赶走。 11 附近的山坡上有一大群猪正在吃东西; 12 污灵求耶稣说:“打发我们到猪群那里附在猪身上吧。” 13 耶稣准了他们。污灵就出来,进到猪群里去,于是那群猪闯下山崖,掉在海里淹死了,猪的数目约有两千。 14 放猪的人都逃跑了,到城里和各乡村去报告,大家就来看发生了甚么事。 15 他们来到耶稣跟前,看见那被鬼附过的人,就是曾被名叫‘群’的鬼附过的人,坐在那里,穿上了衣服,神志清醒,他们就害怕。 16 看见的人把被鬼附过的人所遭遇的和那群猪的事,告诉了他们。 17 他们就要求耶稣离开他们的地区。 18 耶稣上船的时候,那被鬼附过的人来求他,要和他在一起。 19 耶稣不许,却对他说:“你回家到你的亲属那里去,把主为你作了多么大的事,并他怎样怜悯你,都告诉他们。” 20 那人就走了,开始在低加波利传讲耶稣为他所作的大事,众人都希奇。

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.

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.
