在格拉森驱赶污灵

他们来到湖[a]的对岸,进了格拉森[b]人的地方。 耶稣刚下船,就有一个被污灵附身的人,从墓地迎着他来。 这个人住在墓地里,没有人能捆住他,就是用铁链也不行。 他经常被脚镣和铁链捆起来,然而他总是挣断铁链、打碎脚镣。没有人能制伏他。 不管黑夜白昼,他常常在墓地和山上喊叫,又用石头砍自己。

他远远地看见耶稣,就跑过去,向他下拜, 大声喊叫说:“至高神的儿子耶稣,我与你有什么关系?我藉着神恳求你,不要折磨我!” 这是因为耶稣对他说:“你出来,污灵!离开这个人!”

耶稣问他:“你叫什么名字?”

他回答说:“我名叫‘军团’,因为我们众多。” 10 他一再央求耶稣不要把它们赶出那个地方。

11 当时,那里有一大群猪正在附近的山上吃食。 12 那些污灵[c]就央求耶稣,说:“求你打发我们到猪群里,好让我们进入猪里面去吧!” 13 耶稣[d]准许了它们,污灵就出来,进入猪里面。那群猪约有两千头,它们从山崖冲到湖里,在湖里淹死了。 14 那些放猪的人就逃跑了,去把这事传到城里城外。于是人们就来[e]看发生了什么事。 15 他们来到耶稣那里,看见那曾经有鬼魔附身的,就是被‘军团’所附的那个人,穿着衣服,神志清醒地坐着,他们就惧怕起来。 16 那些看见的人,把发生在有鬼魔附身的人身上和有关猪群的事,都告诉了大家。 17 他们就开始央求耶稣离开他们的地区。

18 耶稣上船的时候,那曾被鬼魔附身的人恳求他,要与他在一起。 19 耶稣没有答应,却对他说:“你回家去吧,到你的亲友那里,告诉他们主为你做了什么,以及他怎样怜悯你。” 20 于是那个人离开了,开始在德卡波利斯地区传扬耶稣为他做了什么样的事。众人都感到惊奇。

少女复活、妇人痊愈

21 耶稣又上船渡到对岸。有一大群人聚集到他那里,他就留在湖边。 22 这时候,来了一个名叫睚鲁的会堂主管。他一见到耶稣,就俯伏在耶稣脚前, 23 迫切地恳求他,说:“我的小女儿快要死了。求你来按手在她身上,好让她得救治,能活下去。”

24 耶稣就与他一起去,有一大群人跟随耶稣,并拥挤他。 25 有一个妇人,患了十二年的血漏病。 26 她在许多医生手里受了很多苦,花尽了她所有的一切,没有任何效果,反而倒变得更严重了。 27 她听说了耶稣的事,就夹在人群中,从后面摸了一下耶稣的衣服, 28 原来她想:“只要我摸到他的衣服,就会得救治。” 29 立刻,她的血漏就止住了,她也感觉到身体从病痛中痊愈了。

30 耶稣自己里面立刻知道有能力从他而出,就在人群中转过身来,问:“谁摸了我的衣服?”

31 他的门徒们对他说:“你看这群人拥挤着你,你还问‘谁摸了我’吗?”

32 可是耶稣环视周围,要知道是谁做了这事。 33 那妇人知道发生在自己身上的事,就惧怕起来,战战兢兢地上前俯伏在耶稣面前,把真实情况全告诉了他。 34 耶稣对她说:“女儿,你的信救了你,平平安安地去吧。你从病痛中痊愈了吧!”

35 耶稣还在说话的时候,有些人从会堂主管的家里来,对睚鲁[f]说:“你的女儿已经死了,何必再麻烦老师呢?”

36 耶稣却当做没听见他们所说的话,对会堂主管说[g]“不要怕,只要信!” 37 然后他除了彼得雅各雅各的弟弟[h]约翰以外,不准别的人跟着。 38 他们来到会堂主管的家里,耶稣看见一片混乱,有人哭泣,有人哀号。 39 耶稣进去对他们说:“为什么慌乱哭泣呢?孩子不是死了,而是睡了。”

40 他们就讥笑耶稣。耶稣把他们都赶出去,只带着孩子的父母和一起来的人,进入孩子所在的地方[i] 41 他握着孩子的手,对她说:“塔利达,库莫![j]——这翻译出来就是“小女孩,我吩咐你起来!” 42 那女孩随即起来,开始走动。她那时十二岁。大家立刻目瞪口呆,大为惊讶。 43 耶稣郑重地吩咐他们,不要让任何人知道这事,又吩咐给孩子吃东西。

耶稣让一个人摆脱邪灵

耶稣和门徒们渡过湖,来到格拉森人居住的地区。 耶稣一下船,就有一个被邪灵附体的人从坟地里来见他。 这个人住在坟地里,没人能捆住他,连锁链也捆不住他。 他曾屡次被人用镣铐锁住手脚,但是他挣断了锁链,砸开了脚镣。谁也制服不了他。 他昼夜在坟地和山野中嚎叫,用石头砸自己的身体。

他远远地看见了耶稣,就飞奔过来,跪倒在耶稣面前, 当耶稣正说:“你这个邪灵,离开那人,”时,那人大声喊叫道∶“至高无上的上帝之子,耶稣,您要怎样处置我?我求您以上帝的名字发誓,不要惩罚我!”

耶稣问他∶“你叫什么名字?”

那人回答说∶“我的名字叫军团 [a],因为有很多邪灵附在我体内。” 10 在他体内的邪灵们一遍又一遍地乞求耶稣不要把他们驱逐出这个地区。

11 这时候,有一大群猪正在山坡上吃食。 12 邪灵们乞求耶稣道∶“把我们派到猪群里去吧,这样我们就可以钻到它们身上。” 13 耶稣准许了他们,邪灵们离开那个人,钻到猪身上去了。于是,猪群狂奔下山崖,掉进湖里淹死了,那群猪大约有两千多头。

14 养猪的人跑了,他们把这事告诉了城镇和乡村的人们。人们都出来,想看看究竟发生了什么事。 15 他们来到耶稣那里,看到那个曾被许多邪灵附体的人正坐在那里。他已经穿上了衣服,神智已恢复了正常,他们都很害怕。 16 一些目击者把这个被鬼附身的人所遇到的事和关于猪群的事告诉给其它人, 17 人们都央求耶稣离开此地。

18 耶稣上船要离开时,那个曾被鬼附体的人央求着要与他一同走。 19 但是耶稣没有应许,对他说∶“回去和你的家人及朋友们在一起吧!告诉他们主为你做的一切和主对你所施的怜悯。”

20 于是,那个人走了。他在低加波利 [b]向人们讲述主为他做的大事,人们都为此感到惊讶。

耶稣救活已死的女孩,还治好了病妇

21 耶稣上船渡回到湖对岸,又有很多人聚集在那里。耶稣站在湖边。 22 有个名叫睚鲁的犹太会堂管事来到那里,他一见到耶稣,就跪在他的脚边, 23 再三地恳求他说∶“我的小女儿快要死了。求你来把手按在她身上,让她痊愈,复活过来。”

24 耶稣就跟他去了。一大群人跟着他,簇拥在他周围。

25 人群中有个患血漏十二年的女子, 26 她看过不少医生,受了不少罪,为治病花光了所有的钱。可是病情不但没有好转,反而更加恶化了。 27 她听说耶稣的事迹,就挤进人群,来到耶稣身后,摸了一下耶稣的长袍。 28 她想∶“我只要摸一下他的衣服,我的病就会好了。” 29 果然她的血漏止住了,她感觉到自己体内的病治好了。 30 耶稣立刻感觉到有能量从他身上散发了。他停下脚步,转身问道∶“谁摸了我?”

31 耶稣的门徒对他说∶“许多人都在拥挤着你,但你却问‘谁摸了我?’”

32 但是,耶稣仍旧在人群中搜寻摸了他衣服的人。 33 那个吓得发抖的女子明白发生在自己身上的事,便战战兢兢地走上前俯伏在耶稣面前,就把事情经过一五一十地告诉了耶稣。 34 耶稣对她说∶“亲爱的女子,你的信仰治愈了你。平平安安地走吧,你不会再遭罪了。”

35 正当耶稣说话时,一些男人从会堂管事睚鲁家里赶来报信,他们说∶“你女儿已经死了,何必还麻烦老师呢?”

36 耶稣无意听到这话,就对管事说∶“不要害怕,尽管相信就是了。”

37 耶稣只让彼得、雅各和雅各的兄弟约翰跟着他。 38 他们来到会堂管事的家里,看见里面乱轰轰的,人们正在嚎啕大哭。 39 耶稣走进去,对他们说∶“你们为什么又叫又哭?这孩子没有死,她只是睡着了。” 40 但是人们却嘲笑耶稣。耶稣让其他人出去,只带着孩子的父母和他的三个门徒来到孩子的房间。 41 他握住孩子的手,对她说∶“大利大,古米!”(意思是“小姑娘,我要你站起来!”) 42 女孩马上站起来,下床四处走起来,(她当时十二岁。)人们顿时惊得目瞪口呆。 43 耶稣严厉地命令她父母,不让他们把此事告给人们, 然后,耶稣吩咐他们拿些东西给女孩吃。

Jesus Heals the Gerasene Demoniac

They came to the other side of the lake, to the country of the Gerasenes.[a] And when he had stepped out of the boat, immediately a man out of the tombs with an unclean spirit met him. He lived among the tombs; and no one could restrain him any more, even with a chain; for he had often been restrained with shackles and chains, but the chains he wrenched apart, and the shackles he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always howling and bruising himself with stones. When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him; and he shouted at the top of his voice, ‘What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.’ For he had said to him, ‘Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!’ Then Jesus[b] asked him, ‘What is your name?’ He replied, ‘My name is Legion; for we are many.’ 10 He begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now there on the hillside a great herd of swine was feeding; 12 and the unclean spirits[c] begged him, ‘Send us into the swine; let us enter them.’ 13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the swine; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned in the lake.

14 The swineherds ran off and told it in the city and in the country. Then people came to see what it was that had happened. 15 They came to Jesus and saw the demoniac sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had had the legion; and they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine reported it. 17 Then they began to beg Jesus[d] to leave their neighbourhood. 18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him. 19 But Jesus[e] refused, and said to him, ‘Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy he has shown you.’ 20 And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

21 When Jesus had crossed again in the boat[f] to the other side, a great crowd gathered round him; and he was by the lake. 22 Then one of the leaders of the synagogue named Jairus came and, when he saw him, fell at his feet 23 and begged him repeatedly, ‘My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live.’ 24 So he went with him.

And a large crowd followed him and pressed in on him. 25 Now there was a woman who had been suffering from haemorrhages for twelve years. 26 She had endured much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had; and she was no better, but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 for she said, ‘If I but touch his clothes, I will be made well.’ 29 Immediately her haemorrhage stopped; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 Immediately aware that power had gone forth from him, Jesus turned about in the crowd and said, ‘Who touched my clothes?’ 31 And his disciples said to him, ‘You see the crowd pressing in on you; how can you say, “Who touched me?”’ 32 He looked all round to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.’

35 While he was still speaking, some people came from the leader’s house to say, ‘Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any further?’ 36 But overhearing[g] what they said, Jesus said to the leader of the synagogue, ‘Do not fear, only believe.’ 37 He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. 38 When they came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, he saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 When he had entered, he said to them, ‘Why do you make a commotion and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping.’ 40 And they laughed at him. Then he put them all outside, and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41 He took her by the hand and said to her, ‘Talitha cum’, which means, ‘Little girl, get up!’ 42 And immediately the girl got up and began to walk about (she was twelve years of age). At this they were overcome with amazement. 43 He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
