Lucas 8
La Biblia de las Américas
Mujeres que servían a Jesús
8 Y poco [a] después, Él comenzó a recorrer las ciudades y aldeas, proclamando y anunciando las buenas nuevas del reino de Dios(A); con Él iban los doce, 2 y también algunas mujeres(B) que habían sido sanadas de espíritus malos y de enfermedades: María, llamada Magdalena(C), de la que habían salido siete demonios, 3 y Juana, mujer de Chuza, mayordomo(D) de Herodes(E), y Susana, y muchas otras que de sus bienes personales contribuían al sostenimiento de ellos.
Parábola del sembrador
4 (F)Habiéndose congregado una gran multitud, y los que de varias ciudades acudían a Él, les habló por parábola: 5 El sembrador salió a sembrar su semilla; y al sembrarla, una parte cayó junto al camino, y fue pisoteada y las aves del cielo se la comieron. 6 Otra parte cayó sobre la roca, y tan pronto como creció, se secó, porque no tenía humedad. 7 Otra parte cayó en medio de los espinos; y los espinos, al crecer con ella, la ahogaron. 8 Y otra parte cayó en tierra buena, y creció y produjo una cosecha a ciento por uno. Y al hablar estas cosas, Jesús exclamaba: El que tiene oídos para oír, que oiga(G).
Explicación de la parábola
9 (H)Sus discípulos le preguntaban qué quería decir esta parábola, 10 y Él dijo: A vosotros se os ha concedido conocer los misterios del reino de Dios(I), pero a los demás les hablo en parábolas, para que viendo, no vean; y oyendo, no entiendan(J). 11 La parábola es esta: la semilla es la palabra de Dios(K). 12 Y aquellos a lo largo del camino son los que han oído, pero después viene el diablo y arrebata la palabra de sus corazones, para que no crean y se salven. 13 Y aquellos sobre la roca son los que, cuando oyen, reciben la palabra con gozo; pero[b] estos no tienen raíz profunda; creen[c] por algún tiempo, y en el momento de la tentación sucumben. 14 Y la semilla que cayó entre los espinos, estos son los que han oído, y al continuar su camino son ahogados por las preocupaciones, las riquezas y los placeres de la vida, y su fruto no madura. 15 Pero la semilla en la tierra buena, estos son los que han oído la palabra con corazón recto y bueno, y la retienen, y dan fruto con su perseverancia.
16 Nadie enciende una lámpara y la cubre con una vasija, o la pone debajo de una cama, sino que la pone sobre un candelero para que los que entren vean la luz(L). 17 Pues no hay nada oculto que no haya de ser manifiesto, ni secreto que no haya de ser conocido y salga a la luz(M). 18 Por tanto, tened cuidado de cómo oís; porque al que tiene, más le será dado; y al que no tiene, aun lo que cree que tiene[d] se le quitará(N).
La madre y los hermanos de Jesús
19 (O)Entonces su madre y sus hermanos llegaron a donde Él estaba, pero no podían acercarse a Él debido al gentío. 20 Y le avisaron: Tu madre y tus hermanos están afuera y quieren verte. 21 Pero respondiendo Él, les dijo: Mi madre y mis hermanos son estos que oyen la palabra de Dios y la hacen(P).
Jesús calma la tempestad
22 (Q)Y[e] uno de aquellos días, entró en una barca con sus discípulos, y les dijo: Pasemos al otro lado del lago(R). Y se hicieron a la mar. 23 Pero mientras ellos navegaban, Él se durmió; y una violenta tempestad[f] descendió sobre el lago(S), y comenzaron a anegarse y corrían peligro. 24 Y llegándose a Él, le despertaron, diciendo: ¡Maestro, Maestro(T), que perecemos! Y Él, levantándose, reprendió(U) al viento y a las olas embravecidas, y cesaron y sobrevino la calma. 25 Y Él les dijo: ¿Dónde está vuestra fe? Pero ellos estaban atemorizados y asombrados, diciéndose unos a otros: ¿Quién, pues, es este que aun a los vientos y al agua manda y le obedecen?
El endemoniado gadareno
26 (V)Navegaron hacia la tierra de los gadarenos[g] que está al lado opuesto de Galilea; 27 y cuando Él bajó a tierra, le salió al encuentro un hombre de la ciudad poseído por demonios, y que por mucho tiempo no se había puesto ropa alguna, ni vivía en una casa, sino en los sepulcros. 28 Al ver a Jesús, gritó y cayó delante de Él, y dijo en alta voz: ¿Qué tengo yo que ver contigo[h], Jesús, Hijo del Dios(W) Altísimo? Te ruego que no me atormentes(X). 29 Porque Él mandaba al espíritu inmundo que saliera del hombre, pues muchas veces[i] se había apoderado de él, y[j] estaba atado con cadenas y grillos y bajo guardia; a pesar de todo rompía las ataduras y era impelido por el demonio a los desiertos. 30 Entonces Jesús le preguntó: ¿Cómo te llamas? Y él dijo: Legión(Y); porque muchos demonios habían entrado en él. 31 Y le rogaban que no les ordenara irse al abismo(Z). 32 Y había una piara de muchos cerdos paciendo allí en el monte; y los demonios le rogaron que les permitiera entrar en los cerdos[k]. Y Él les dio permiso. 33 Los demonios salieron del hombre y entraron en los cerdos; y la piara se precipitó por el despeñadero al lago(AA), y se ahogaron. 34 Y cuando los que los cuidaban vieron lo que había sucedido, huyeron y lo contaron en la ciudad y por los campos. 35 Salió entonces la gente a ver qué había sucedido; y vinieron a Jesús, y encontraron al hombre de quien habían salido los demonios, sentado a los pies de Jesús(AB), vestido y en su cabal juicio, y se llenaron de temor. 36 Y los que lo habían visto, les contaron cómo el que estaba endemoniado(AC) había sido sanado[l]. 37 Entonces toda la gente[m] de la región alrededor de los gadarenos le pidió a Jesús que se alejara de ellos, porque estaban poseídos de un gran temor. Y Él entrando a una barca, regresó. 38 (AD)Pero el hombre de quien habían salido los demonios le rogaba que le permitiera acompañarle[n]; mas Él lo despidió, diciendo: 39 Vuelve a tu casa, y cuenta cuán grandes cosas[o] Dios ha hecho por ti. Y él se fue, proclamando por toda la ciudad cuán grandes cosas[p] Jesús había hecho por él.
Jairo ruega por su hija
40 Cuando Jesús volvió, la multitud le recibió con gozo(AE), porque todos le habían estado esperando. 41 (AF)Y he aquí, llegó un hombre llamado Jairo, que era un oficial[q] de la sinagoga(AG); y cayendo a los pies de Jesús le rogaba que entrara a su casa; 42 porque tenía una hija única[r], como de doce años, que estaba al borde de la muerte. Pero mientras Él iba, la muchedumbre le apretaba.
Jesús sana a una mujer
43 Y una mujer que había tenido un flujo de sangre por doce años y que había gastado en médicos todo cuanto tenía[s] y no podía ser curada por nadie, 44 se acercó a Jesús por detrás y tocó el borde de su manto, y al instante cesó el flujo de su sangre. 45 Y Jesús dijo: ¿Quién es el que me ha tocado? Mientras todos lo negaban, Pedro dijo, y los que con él estaban[t]: Maestro(AH), las multitudes te aprietan y te oprimen. 46 Pero Jesús dijo: Alguien me tocó, porque me di cuenta que de mí había salido poder(AI). 47 Al ver la mujer que ella no había pasado inadvertida, se acercó temblando, y cayendo delante de Él, declaró en presencia de todo el pueblo la razón por la cual le había tocado, y cómo al instante había sido sanada. 48 Y Él le dijo: Hija, tu fe te ha sanado[u](AJ); vete en paz(AK).
Jesús resucita a la hija de Jairo
49 Mientras estaba todavía hablando, vino* alguien de la casa del oficial de la sinagoga(AL), diciendo: Tu hija ha muerto; no molestes más al Maestro. 50 Pero cuando Jesús lo oyó, le respondió: No temas(AM); cree solamente, y ella será sanada[v]. 51 Y cuando Él llegó a la casa, no permitió que nadie entrara con Él sino solo Pedro, Juan y Jacobo[w], y el padre y la madre de la muchacha. 52 Todos la lloraban y se lamentaban(AN); pero Él dijo: No lloréis, porque no ha muerto, sino que duerme(AO). 53 Y se burlaban de Él, sabiendo que ella había muerto. 54 Pero Él, tomándola de la mano, clamó, diciendo: ¡Niña, levántate! 55 Entonces le volvió su espíritu, y se levantó al instante, y Él mandó que le dieran de comer. 56 Y sus padres estaban asombrados; pero Él les encargó que no dijeran a nadie(AP) lo que había sucedido.

King James Version
8 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:
42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
Luke 8
New King James Version
Many Women Minister to Jesus
8 Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and [a]bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, 2 and (A)certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and [b]infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, (B)out of whom had come seven demons, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for [c]Him from their [d]substance.
The Parable of the Sower(C)
4 (D)And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable: 5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. 6 Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. 8 But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded [e]a crop a hundredfold.” When He had said these things He cried, (E)“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
The Purpose of Parables(F)
9 (G)Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?”
10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the [f]mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that
(H)‘Seeing they may not see,
And hearing they may not understand.’
The Parable of the Sower Explained(I)
11 (J)“Now the parable is this: The seed is the (K)word of God. 12 Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of [g]temptation fall away. 14 Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, (L)riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. 15 But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with (M)patience.[h]
The Parable of the Revealed Light(N)
16 (O)“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the (P)light. 17 (Q)For nothing is secret that will not be (R)revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. 18 Therefore take heed how you hear. (S)For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he [i]seems to (T)have will be taken from him.”
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers Come to Him(U)
19 (V)Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd. 20 And it was told Him by some, who said, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You.”
21 But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
Wind and Wave Obey Jesus(W)
22 (X)Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out. 23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in [j]jeopardy. 24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!”
Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 But He said to them, (Y)“Where is your faith?”
And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, (Z)“Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
A Demon-Possessed Man Healed(AA)
26 (AB)Then they sailed to the country of the [k]Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27 And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons [l]for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he (AC)cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, (AD)“What have I to do with (AE)You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!” 29 For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.
30 Jesus asked him, saying, “What is your name?”
And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him. 31 And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out (AF)into the abyss.
32 Now a herd of many (AG)swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them. 33 Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.
34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. 35 Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, (AH)sitting at the (AI)feet of Jesus, clothed and in his (AJ)right mind. And they were afraid. 36 They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was [m]healed. 37 (AK)Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the [n]Gadarenes (AL)asked Him to (AM)depart from them, for they were seized with great (AN)fear. And He got into the boat and returned.
38 Now (AO)the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed
40 So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. 41 (AP)And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she (AQ)was dying.
But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. 43 (AR)Now a woman, having a (AS)flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and (AT)touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
45 And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”
When all denied it, Peter [o]and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, [p]and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived (AU)power going out from Me.” 47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.
48 And He said to her, “Daughter, [q]be of good cheer; (AV)your faith has made you well. (AW)Go in peace.”
49 (AX)While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the [r]Teacher.”
50 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; (AY)only believe, and she will be made well.” 51 When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go [s]in except [t]Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. 52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, (AZ)“Do not weep; she is not dead, (BA)but sleeping.” 53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 But He [u]put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, (BB)arise.” 55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but (BC)He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
