马可福音 5
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
在格拉森驱赶污灵
5 他们来到湖[a]的对岸,进了格拉森[b]人的地方。 2 耶稣刚下船,就有一个被污灵附身的人,从墓地迎着他来。 3 这个人住在墓地里,没有人能捆住他,就是用铁链也不行。 4 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。 5 不管黑夜白昼,他常常在墓地和山上喊叫,又用石头砍自己。
6 他远远地看见耶稣,就跑过去,向他下拜, 7 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!” 8 这是因为耶稣对他说:“你出来,污灵!离开这个人!”
9 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、雅各和雅各的弟弟[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。

Mark 5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 5
The Healing of the Gerasene Demoniac. 1 [a](A)They came to the other side of the sea, to the territory of the Gerasenes. 2 When he got out of the boat, at once a man[b] from the tombs who had an unclean spirit met him. 3 The man had been dwelling among the tombs, and no one could restrain him any longer, even with a chain. 4 In fact, he had frequently been bound with shackles and chains, but the chains had been pulled apart by him and the shackles smashed, and no one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and on the hillsides he was always crying out and bruising himself with stones. 6 Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran up and prostrated himself before him, 7 crying out in a loud voice, “What have you to do with me,[c] Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me!” 8 (He had been saying to him, “Unclean spirit, come out of the man!”) 9 [d]He asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “Legion is my name. There are many of us.”(B) 10 And he pleaded earnestly with him not to drive them away from that territory.
11 Now a large herd of swine[e] was feeding there on the hillside. 12 And they pleaded with him, “Send us into the swine. Let us enter them.” 13 And he let them, and the unclean spirits came out and entered the swine. The herd of about two thousand rushed down a steep bank into the sea, where they were drowned. 14 The swineherds ran away and reported the incident in the town and throughout the countryside. And people came out to see what had happened. 15 As they approached Jesus, they caught sight of the man who had been possessed by Legion, sitting there clothed and in his right mind. And they were seized with fear. 16 Those who witnessed the incident explained to them what had happened to the possessed man and to the swine. 17 Then they began to beg him to leave their district. 18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed pleaded to remain with him. 19 But he would not permit him but told him instead, “Go home[f] to your family and announce to them all that the Lord in his pity has done for you.” 20 Then the man went off and began to proclaim in the Decapolis what Jesus had done for him; and all were amazed.
Jairus’s Daughter and the Woman with a Hemorrhage.[g] 21 When Jesus had crossed again [in the boat] to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he stayed close to the sea.(C) 22 One of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward.(D) Seeing him he fell at his feet 23 and pleaded earnestly with him, saying, “My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay your hands on her[h] that she may get well and live.” 24 He went off with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed upon him.
25 There was a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. 26 She had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet she was not helped but only grew worse. 27 She had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak. 28 [i]She said, “If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.” 29 Immediately her flow of blood dried up. She felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction. 30 Jesus, aware at once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who has touched my clothes?” 31 But his disciples said to him, “You see how the crowd is pressing upon you, and yet you ask, ‘Who touched me?’” 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 The woman, realizing what had happened to her, approached in fear and trembling. She fell down before Jesus and told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.”(E)
35 [j]While he was still speaking, people from the synagogue official’s house arrived and said, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer?” 36 Disregarding the message that was reported, Jesus said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid; just have faith.” 37 He did not allow anyone to accompany him inside except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. 38 When they arrived at the house of the synagogue official, he caught sight of a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 [k](F)So he went in and said to them, “Why this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.” 40 And they ridiculed him. Then he put them all out. He took along the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and entered the room where the child was. 41 [l]He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!” 42 The girl, a child of twelve, arose immediately and walked around. [At that] they were utterly astounded. 43 He gave strict orders that no one should know this and said that she should be given something to eat.
Footnotes
- 5:1 The territory of the Gerasenes: the reference is to pagan territory; cf. Is 65:1. Another reading is “Gadarenes”; see note on Mt 8:28.
- 5:2–6 The man was an outcast from society, dominated by unclean spirits (Mk 5:8, 13), living among the tombs. The prostration before Jesus (Mk 5:6) indicates Jesus’ power over evil spirits.
- 5:7 What have you to do with me?: cf. Mk 1:24 and see note on Jn 2:4.
- 5:9 Legion is my name: the demons were numerous and the condition of the possessed man was extremely serious; cf. Mt 12:45.
- 5:11 Herd of swine: see note on Mt 8:30.
- 5:19 Go home: Jesus did not accept the man’s request to remain with him as a disciple (Mk 5:18), yet invited him to announce to his own people what the Lord had done for him, i.e., proclaim the gospel message to his pagan family; cf. Mk 1:14, 39; 3:14; 13:10.
- 5:21–43 The story of the raising to life of Jairus’s daughter is divided into two parts: Mk 5:21–24; 5:35–43. Between these two separated parts the account of the cure of the hemorrhage victim (Mk 5:25–34) is interposed. This technique of intercalating or sandwiching one story within another occurs several times in Mk 3:19b–21; 3:22–30 3:31–35; 6:6b–13; 6:14–29; 6:30; 11:12–14; 11:15–19; 11:20–25; 14:53; 14:54; 14:55–65; 14:66–73.
- 5:23 Lay your hands on her: this act for the purpose of healing is frequent in Mk 6:5; 7:32–35; 8:23–25; 16:18 and is also found in Mt 9:18; Lk 4:40; 13:13; Acts 9:17; 28:8.
- 5:28 Both in the case of Jairus and his daughter (Mk 5:23) and in the case of the hemorrhage victim, the inner conviction that physical contact (Mk 5:30) accompanied by faith in Jesus’ saving power could effect a cure was rewarded.
- 5:35 The faith of Jairus was put to a twofold test: (1) that his daughter might be cured and, now that she had died, (2) that she might be restored to life. His faith contrasts with the lack of faith of the crowd.
- 5:39 Not dead but asleep: the New Testament often refers to death as sleep (Mt 27:52; Jn 11:11; 1 Cor 15:6; 1 Thes 4:13–15); see note on Mt 9:24.
- 5:41 Arise: the Greek verb egeirein is the verb generally used to express resurrection from death (Mk 6:14, 16; Mt 11:5; Lk 7:14) and Jesus’ own resurrection (Mk 16:6; Mt 28:6; Lk 24:6).
