治好被鬼附身的人

他们来到湖对岸的格拉森地区。 耶稣刚下船,就遇见一个被污鬼附身的人从坟场迎面而来。 那人以坟场为家,从来没有人能把他捆住,就算用铁链也锁不住他。 尽管有人多次用铁链和脚镣锁住他,但他挣断了铁链,砸碎了脚镣。没有人能制服他。 他昼夜在坟场和山野间大喊大叫,又用石头砍自己。

他远远看见耶稣,就跑过去跪下来拜祂,喊着说: “至高上帝的儿子耶稣啊,我和你有什么关系?看在上帝的份上,求你不要折磨我!” 原来,耶稣已经对他身上的鬼说:“污鬼,从这人身上出来!”

耶稣问:“你叫什么名字?”

他说:“我的名字叫‘群’,因为我们是一大群。”

10 接着污鬼再三哀求耶稣,不要把它们逐出那个地区。 11 当时有一大群猪在附近山坡上觅食。 12 污鬼就哀求耶稣说:“让我们到猪群里去,附在它们身上吧!”

13 耶稣允许了,污鬼就离开那人,进入猪群。那群猪就一路奔下陡坡,冲进湖里淹死了,约有两千头。

14 放猪的人都吓跑了。他们把这消息传遍了城里乡间,于是人人都跑来看个究竟。 15 他们到了耶稣那里,看见那一度被群鬼附身的人神智清醒、衣着整齐地坐在那里,都很害怕。 16 目睹这件事的人向他们讲述整个经过。 17 他们请耶稣离开他们的地方。

18 耶稣上了船准备离开的时候,那被鬼附过的人恳求耶稣让他随行。 19 耶稣没有答应,只对他说:“回去见你的家人,将主为你所做的事和祂怜悯你的经过告诉他们吧!”

20 这人就回到低加坡里一带宣扬耶稣为他所行的奇事,大家都很惊奇。

耶稣医治有信心的人

21 耶稣再坐船回到对岸,立刻有一大群人在岸边围着祂。 22 人群中有一位会堂的主管名叫雅鲁,他一见到耶稣便俯伏在祂脚前, 23 恳求说:“我小女儿快要死了,求你去把手按在她身上,医治她,救她一命。”

24 耶稣和他同去,一大群人跟着祂,拥挤着祂。

25 有一个妇人患血漏病已经十二年, 26 经过许多医生的诊治,受尽痛苦,耗尽钱财,病情仍没有好转,反而更加严重。 27 她听见耶稣的事,就夹在人群中挤到耶稣背后摸祂的衣服, 28 心想:“只要摸到祂的衣服,我就痊愈了!”

29 她的血漏立刻停止了,她感到自己痊愈了。 30 耶稣马上知道有能力从自己身上发出,便在人群中转过身来问:“谁摸了我的衣服?”

31 门徒对祂说:“你看,这么多人在你周围挤来挤去,你怎么问谁摸你呢?”

32 耶稣环视四周,要找出摸祂的人。 33 那妇人害怕得发抖,她知道在自己身上发生了什么事,于是上前俯伏在耶稣面前,将实情说了出来。

34 耶稣说:“女儿,你的信心救了你。安心地回去吧!你的病好了。”

35 耶稣还在说话的时候,有人从雅鲁家中赶来,对雅鲁说:“你的女儿已经死了,何必麻烦老师呢?”

36 耶稣听了,便对雅鲁说:“不要怕,只要信。” 37 于是,祂带着彼得、雅各和雅各的弟弟约翰去雅鲁家,不准其他人跟着。 38 他们到了那里,只见在场的人嚎啕大哭,场面混乱。 39 耶稣进去问道:“你们为什么大哭大嚷呢?这孩子并没有死,只是睡着了。”

40 这些人听了,都讥笑祂。耶稣让他们全部出去,然后带着孩子的父母和三个门徒进了房间。 41 祂拉着孩子的手说:“大利大,古米!”意思是:“小女孩,我吩咐你起来!”

42 小女孩应声而起,并且可以走动,那时她十二岁。在场的人都惊奇不已。 43 耶稣郑重叮嘱他们不要把这事张扬出去,又吩咐他们给女孩东西吃。

And they came to the other side of the lake, to the country of the Gerasenes.

And as soon as Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach stepped out of the sirah (boat), ofen ort (immediately), a man with a ruach hatumah from the kevarim (tombs) of the burial caves met him.

This man had (his) dwelling among the kevarim. And no one could keep him tied any longer, even with sharsherot (chains, fetters);

Because often he had been bound with shackles and the shackles had been torn apart by him, and no one had the koach (power) to subdue him.

And constantly, yomam valailah (day and night), among the kevarim and in the mountains, he was crying out and beating himself with stones.

And, having seen Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach from afar, he ran and fell down before him.

And having cried out with a kol gadol (loud voice), he says, Mah lanu valach, Yehoshua, Ben HaElohim HaElyon? I implore you by Hashem, [do] not torment me.

For Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had been saying to him, Come out of the man, ruach hatumah (unclean spirit)!

And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was questioning him, saying, What is your name? And he says to him, Legion [is] my name, for we are many!

10 And he begged Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach again and again not to exorcise him and banish him from that place.

11 Now there was a large herd of chazirim feeding nearby on the hillside.

12 And they (the ruchot hatemeiot, the shedim) implored Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Send us into the chazirim, so that we may go into them.

13 And he permitted them. And having come out, the ruchot hatemeiot entered into the chazirim. And the herd of chazirim rushed down the slope into the lake, and there were about two thousand of them, and they were drowned in the lake. [MICHOH 7:19]

14 And the herdsmen feeding them fled and reported it in the village and in the sadot (fields), and the people came to see what had come to pass.

15 And they come to Yehoshua, and they see the one that had been possessed by the shed sitting, clothed and in his right mind the very one having had the Legion! And they were afraid.

16 And the edei reiyah (eyewitnesses) of what had happened to the man possessed by shedim and of what had happened to the chazirim reported it.

17 Then they began to implore Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to depart from their region.

18 And as Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was stepping into the sirah (boat), the one who had been possessed by shedim was imploring him that he might accompany him.

19 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not permit him, but says to him, Go home to your people and report to them everything that Hashem has done for you and [that] Hashem had rachmanim (mercy) upon you.

20 And the man left and began to preach in the Decapolis everything that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had done for him, and everyone was amazed.

21 And when he had crossed over again in the sirah (boat) to the other side, a large multitude gathered together to him, and he was beside the lake.

22 And one of the Roshei Beit HaKnesset comes name of Yair and, having seen Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, he falls down at his feet,

23 and he begs him earnestly saying, Biti (my daughter) is at the point of mavet. Come and put your hand on her that she may receive refuah and may live.

24 And Moshiach went with Yair. And a large multitude were following him and they were pressing against Moshiach.

25 And [there was] an isha having a flow of dahm for twelve years. [VAYIKRA 15:25-30]

26 And having suffered much by many rofim (physicians) and having spent everything she had, instead of recovering, her condition deteriorated.

27 And having heard about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, she came up behind him in the multitude, and touched his garment.

28 For she was saying, If I may touch even the garment of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, I will receive refuah.

29 And ofen ort the flow of her dahm was dried up and she felt in (her) basar that she has been given refuah from the shrekliche (terrible) machla (illness).

30 And ofen ort Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having perceived within himself that gevurah (miraculous power) had gone forth from him, turned around in the crowd and said, Who touched my garments?

31 And the talmidim of Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach were saying to him, You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, Who touched me?

32 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was looking around to see the one having done this.

33 Now the isha, BYIRAH (with fear) and BIRADAH (trembling), aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the emes (truth).

34 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to her, Bat (Daughter), your emunah has brought you refuah (healing). Go in shalom and receive refuah from your machla.

35 While Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was still speaking, some came from the Rosh Beit HaKnesset, saying, Your yaldah is a nifteret (deceased person); are you still causing a shter (bother) for the rabbi?

36 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having overheard what was being spoken, says to the Rosh Beit HaKnesset, Do not be afraid; only have emunah.

37 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach did not permit anyone to follow after him, except Kefa and Yaakov and Yochanan, the brother of Yaakov.

38 And they come into the bais of the Rosh Beit HaKnesset, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach beheld much commotion and weeping and loud wailing.

39 And having entered, he says to them, Why are you distressed and weeping? The yaldah is not a nifteret but is only sleeping.

40 And they began making leitzonus (mockery, fun) of him. But having put everyone out, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach takes the Abba of the naarah (girl) and the Em and the ones with him, and goes into where the naarah was.

41 And having grasped the hand of the naarah, Moshiach says to her, Talitha Koum, which, being translated, means Little girl, to you I say, arise!

42 And ofen ort the naarah got up and she was walking around. She was twelve years old. And ofen ort they were amazed with great wonder.

43 And he gave orders to them earnestly that no one should have daas of this. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to give her some okhel (food).
