Mark 5
New King James Version
A Demon-Possessed Man Healed(A)
5 Then (B)they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the [a]Gadarenes. 2 And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an (C)unclean spirit, 3 who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind [b]him, not even with chains, 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. 5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. 7 And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I (D)implore[c] You by God that You do not torment me.”
8 For He said to him, (E)“Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” 9 Then He asked him, “What is your name?”
And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” 10 Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country.
11 Now a large herd of (F)swine was feeding there near the mountains. 12 So all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the swine, that we may enter them.” 13 And [d]at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.
14 So those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had happened. 15 Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been (G)demon-possessed and had the legion, (H)sitting and (I)clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. 16 And those who saw it told them how it happened to him who had been demon-possessed, and about the swine. 17 Then (J)they began to plead with Him to depart from their region.
18 And when He got into the boat, (K)he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him. 19 However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.” 20 And he departed and began to (L)proclaim in [e]Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all (M)marveled.
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed(N)
21 (O)Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. 22 (P)And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet 23 and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and (Q)lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.
25 Now a certain woman (R)had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and (S)touched His garment. 28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”
29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the [f]affliction. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that (T)power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”
31 But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
32 And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. 33 But the woman, (U)fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, (V)your faith has made you well. (W)Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”
35 (X)While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only (Y)believe.” 37 And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38 Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw [g]a tumult and those who (Z)wept and wailed loudly. 39 When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but (AA)sleeping.”
40 And they ridiculed Him. (AB)But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. 41 Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” 42 Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were (AC)overcome with great amazement. 43 But (AD)He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.

Ang Pagpapagaling sa Gerasenong Sinasapian ng Masasamang Espiritu(A)
5 Si Jesus at ang kanyang mga alagad ay dumating sa kabilang ibayo, sa lupain ng mga Geraseno.[a] 2 Pagkababa ni Jesus sa bangka, siya'y sinalubong ng isang lalaking sinasapian ng masamang espiritu. 3 Ang lalaking ito'y nakatira sa mga libingan. Hindi na siya maigapos, kahit tanikala pa ang gamitin. 4 Bagama't madalas siyang gapusin ng tanikala sa kamay at paa, nilalagot lamang niya ang mga ito. Wala nang nakakapigil sa kanya. 5 Araw-gabi'y nagsisisigaw siya sa mga libingan at sa kabundukan, at sinusugatan din niya ng matalas na bato ang kanyang sarili.
6 Malayo pa'y natanaw na nito si Jesus. Patakbo itong lumapit at lumuhod sa harapan niya. 7 Sumigaw siya nang malakas, “Jesus, Anak ng Kataas-taasang Diyos, ano'ng pakay mo sa akin? Ipangako mo sa ngalan ng Diyos na hindi mo ako pahihirapan!” 8 Sinabi niya ito sapagkat iniutos ni Jesus, “Masamang espiritu, lumabas ka sa taong ito!”
9 Tinanong siya ni Jesus, “Ano ang pangalan mo?”
“Batalyon,[b] sapagkat marami kami,” tugon niya. 10 At nakiusap siya kay Jesus na huwag silang palayasin sa lugar na iyon.
11 Samantala, sa libis ng bundok ay may malaking kawan ng mga baboy na nagsisikain. 12 Nagmakaawa kay Jesus ang masasamang espiritu, “Papasukin mo na lamang kami sa mga baboy.” 13 Pinahintulutan niya sila kaya't lumabas nga sa lalaki ang masasamang espiritu at pumasok sa mga baboy. Ang kawan na may dalawang libo ay nagtakbuhan sa gilid ng matarik na bangin hanggang sa nahulog ang mga ito sa lawa at nalunod.
14 Tumakbo ang mga tagapag-alaga ng kawan ng baboy at ibinalita sa bayan at sa karatig-pook ang mga pangyayari. Kaya't ang mga tao ay nagpuntahan doon upang alamin ang nangyari. 15 Paglapit nila kay Jesus, nakita nila ang lalaking dating sinasapian ng mga demonyo; nakaupo ito, nakadamit at matino na ang isip, at sila'y natakot. 16 Isinalaysay sa kanila ng mga nakakita ang nangyari sa dating sinasapian ng demonyo at sa mga baboy.
17 Dahil dito, nakiusap ang mga tao kay Jesus na umalis siya sa kanilang lupain.
18 Nang pasakay na si Jesus sa bangka, nakiusap ang dating sinasapian ng mga demonyo na siya'y isama niya, 19 ngunit hindi pumayag si Jesus. Sa halip ay sinabi niya sa lalaki, “Umuwi ka na at sabihin mo sa iyong mga kamag-anak ang lahat ng ginawa sa iyo ng Panginoon, at kung paano siya nahabag sa iyo.”
20 Umalis ang lalaki at ipinamalita sa buong Decapolis ang ginawa sa kanya ni Jesus. At namangha ang lahat ng nakarinig noon.
Ang Anak ni Jairo at ang Babaing Dinudugo(B)
21 Si Jesus ay sumakay sa bangka[c] at bumalik sa kabilang ibayo. Nasa baybayin pa lamang siya ng lawa ay dinumog na siya ng napakaraming tao. 22 Naroon din ang isang tagapamahala ng sinagoga na ang pangalan ay Jairo. Pagkakita kay Jesus, siya'y lumuhod sa paanan nito 23 at nagmakaawa, “Nag-aagaw-buhay po ang anak kong dalagita. Maawa po kayo, sumama kayo sa akin at ipatong ninyo sa kanya ang inyong kamay upang siya ay gumaling at mabuhay!”
24 Sumama naman si Jesus. Ngunit sumunod din sa kanya ang napakaraming tao, kaya't halos maipit na siya.
25 Kasama rin doon ang isang babaing labindalawang taon nang dinudugo. 26 Hirap(C) na hirap na siya sa sakit na iyon, at marami nang doktor ang sumuri sa kanya. Naubos na ang kanyang ari-arian sa pagpapagamot ngunit hindi pa rin siya gumagaling. Sa halip, lalo pang lumala ang kanyang karamdaman. 27 Nabalitaan niya ang tungkol kay Jesus kaya't nakipagsiksikan siya hanggang sa makalapit sa likuran ni Jesus, at hinipo ang damit nito, 28 sapagkat iniisip niyang: “mahipo ko lang ang kanyang damit, gagaling na ako.” 29 Agad ngang tumigil ang kanyang pagdurugo at naramdaman niyang magaling na siya.
30 Naramdaman agad ni Jesus na may kapangyarihang lumabas sa kanya, kaya't bumaling siya sa mga tao at nagtanong, “Sino ang humipo sa aking damit?”
31 Sumagot ang kanyang mga alagad, “Nakikita po ninyong napakaraming nagsisiksikan sa paligid ninyo, bakit pa ninyo itinatanong kung sino ang humipo sa damit ninyo?”
32 Subalit lumingun-lingon si Jesus upang tingnan kung sino ang humipo sa damit niya. 33 Palibhasa'y alam ng babae ang nangyari, siya'y nanginginig sa takot na lumapit kay Jesus, nagpatirapa, at ipinagtapat ang buong katotohanan. 34 Subalit sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Anak, pinagaling ka ng iyong pananampalataya. Umuwi ka na at ipanatag mo ang iyong kalooban. Ikaw ay magaling na.”
35 Habang nagsasalita pa si Jesus, may ilang taong dumating mula sa bahay ni Jairo. “Patay na po ang inyong anak. Huwag na po ninyong abalahin ang Guro,” sabi nila.
36 Ngunit nang marinig ito ni Jesus,[d] sinabi niya kay Jairo, “Huwag kang matakot; manampalataya ka lamang.”
37 At hindi pinayagan ni Jesus na sumama sa kanya ang mga tao maliban kina Pedro at ang magkapatid na Santiago at Juan. 38 Nang dumating sila sa bahay ni Jairo, nakita ni Jesus na nagkakagulo ang mga tao, may mga nag-iiyakan at nananaghoy. 39 Pagpasok niya ay kanyang sinabi, “Bakit kayo nagkakagulo at nag-iiyakan? Hindi patay ang bata. Siya'y natutulog lamang.”
40 Dahil sa sinabi niya, pinagtawanan siya ng mga tao. Subalit pinalabas niya ang lahat maliban sa tatlong alagad at sa mga magulang ng bata, at pumasok sila sa kinaroroonan ng bata. 41 Hinawakan ni Jesus ang kamay ng bata at sinabi, “Talitha koum,” na ang ibig sabihi'y “Ineng, bumangon ka!”
42 Noon di'y bumangon ang bata at lumakad, at labis na namangha ang lahat. Ang batang ito'y labindalawang taong gulang na. 43 Mahigpit na ipinagbilin ni Jesus na huwag nilang sasabihin kaninuman ang nangyari. Pagkatapos, iniutos niyang bigyan ng makakain ang bata.
