Luke 8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Many Women Support Christ’s Work
8 Soon afterward He was traveling from one town and village to another,(A) preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God.(B) The Twelve were with Him, 2 and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses:(C) Mary, called Magdalene (seven demons had come out(D) of her); 3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who were supporting them from their possessions.
The Parable of the Sower
4 As a large crowd was gathering, and people were flocking to Him from every town, He said in a parable:(E) 5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. As he was sowing, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds of the sky ate it up. 6 Other seed fell on the rock; when it sprang up, it withered, since it lacked moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns; the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. 8 Still other seed fell on good ground; when it sprang up, it produced a crop: 100 times what was sown.”(F) As He said this, He called out, “Anyone who has ears to hear should listen!”(G)
Why Jesus Used Parables
9 Then His disciples asked Him, “What does this parable mean?”(H) 10 So He said, “The secrets of the kingdom of God have been given for you(I) to know, but to the rest it is in parables, so that
The Parable of the Sower Explained
11 “This is the meaning of the parable:[b](K) The seed is the word of God.(L) 12 The seed along the path are those who have heard and then the Devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 And the seed on the rock are those who, when they hear, welcome the word with joy. Having no root, these believe for a while and depart in a time of testing.(M) 14 As for the seed that fell among thorns, these are the ones who, when they have heard, go on their way and are choked with worries, riches, and pleasures of life,(N) and produce no mature fruit. 15 But the seed in the good ground—these are the ones who,[c] having heard the word with an honest and good heart, hold on to it and by enduring,(O) bear fruit.
Using Your Light
16 “No one, after lighting a lamp,(P) covers it with a basket or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in may see its light.(Q) 17 For nothing is concealed that won’t be revealed, and nothing hidden that won’t be made known and come to light.(R) 18 Therefore take care how you listen. For whoever has, more will be given to him;(S) and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
True Relationships
19 Then His mother and brothers(T) came to Him,(U) but they could not meet with Him because of the crowd. 20 He was told, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”
21 But He replied to them, “My mother and My brothers are those who hear and do the word of God.”(V)
Wind and Wave Obey the Master
22 One day He and His disciples got into a boat,(W) and He told them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.”(X) So they set out, 23 and as they were sailing He fell asleep. Then a fierce windstorm came down on the lake; they were being swamped and were in danger. 24 They came and woke Him up, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to die!” Then He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves. So they ceased, and there was a calm.(Y) 25 He said to them, “Where is your faith?”
They were fearful and amazed, asking one another, “Who can this be?[d](Z) He commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey Him!”
Demons Driven Out by the Master
26 Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[e](AA) which is opposite Galilee. 27 When He got out on land, a demon-possessed man from the town met Him. For a long time he had worn no clothes and did not stay in a house but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out,(AB) fell down before Him, and said in a loud voice, “What do You have to do with me,[f](AC) Jesus, You Son of the Most High God?(AD) I beg You, don’t torment me!” 29 For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was guarded, bound by chains and shackles, he would snap the restraints and be driven by the demon into deserted places.
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked him.
“Legion,”(AE) he said—because many demons had entered him. 31 And they begged Him not to banish them to the abyss.(AF)
32 A large herd of pigs was there, feeding on the hillside. The demons begged Him to permit them to enter the pigs, and He gave them permission. 33 The demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned. 34 When the men who tended them saw what had happened, they ran off and reported it in the town and in the countryside. 35 Then people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man the demons had departed from, sitting at Jesus’ feet,(AG) dressed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. 36 Meanwhile, the eyewitnesses reported to them how the demon-possessed man was delivered.(AH) 37 Then all the people of the Gerasene region[g] asked Him to leave them,(AI) because they were gripped by great fear. So getting into the boat, He returned.
38 The man from whom the demons had departed kept begging Him to be with Him. But He sent him away and said, 39 “Go back to your home, and tell all that God has done for you.” And off he went, proclaiming throughout the town all that Jesus had done for him.
A Girl Restored and a Woman Healed
40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him,(AJ) for they were all expecting Him.(AK) 41 Just then, a man named Jairus came. He was a leader of the synagogue.(AL) He fell down at Jesus’ feet and pleaded with Him to come to his house, 42 because he had an only daughter(AM) about 12 years old, and she was at death’s door.[h]
While He was going, the crowds were nearly crushing Him.(AN) 43 A woman suffering from bleeding(AO) for 12 years,(AP) who had spent all she had on doctors[i] yet could not be healed by any, 44 approached from behind and touched the tassel of His robe.(AQ) Instantly her bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched Me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter[j] said, “Master,(AR) the crowds are hemming You in and pressing against You.”[k]
46 “Someone did touch Me,” said Jesus. “I know that power has gone out from Me.”(AS) 47 When the woman saw that she was discovered,[l] she came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she declared the reason she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured. 48 “Daughter,” He said to her, “your faith has made you well.[m] Go in peace.”(AT)
49 While He was still speaking,(AU) someone came from the synagogue leader’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t bother(AV) the Teacher(AW) anymore.”
50 When Jesus heard it, He answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be made well.” 51 After He came to the house, He let no one enter with Him except Peter, John, James,(AX) and the child’s father and mother. 52 Everyone was crying(AY) and mourning for her.(AZ) But He said, “Stop crying, for she is not dead but asleep.”(BA)
53 They started laughing at Him, because they knew she was dead. 54 So He[n] took her by the hand(BB) and called out, “Child, get up!”(BC) 55 Her spirit returned,(BD) and she got up at once. Then He gave orders that she be given something to eat. 56 Her parents were astounded, but He instructed them to tell no one what had happened.(BE)

8 · kai It happened ginomai that soon afterward en Jesus autos began to travel diodeuō around from kata one town polis and kai village kōmē to another, proclaiming kēryssō and kai bringing euangelizō the good news of the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos. · kai The ho twelve dōdeka disciples were with syn him autos, 2 as kai well as certain tis women gynē who hos had been eimi healed therapeuō from apo evil ponēros spirits pneuma and kai diseases astheneia ( Mary Maria who ho is called kaleō Magdalene Magdalēnē, from apo whom hos seven hepta demons daimonion had gone out exerchomai, 3 and kai Joanna Iōanna, wife gynē of Chuza, Herod’ s hērōdēs steward epitropē, and kai Susanna Sousanna) and kai many polys other heteros women who hostis cared diakoneō for their autos needs out ek of · ho their own autos resources hyparchō.
4 As a large polys crowd ochlos was gathering syneimi · de and kai people ho were coming epiporeuomai to pros Jesus autos from kata one town polis after another, he spoke legō using dia a parable parabolē. 5 “A sower speirō went exerchomai out · ho to ho sow speirō · ho his autos seed sporos. And kai as en · ho he autos sowed speirō, some hos fell piptō along para the ho path hodos and kai was trampled katapateō underfoot , and kai the ho birds peteinon of ho heaven ouranos devoured katesthiō it autos. 6 · kai Other heteros seed fell katapiptō on epi · ho rock petra, and kai when it came phyō up , it withered xērainō away , because dia · ho it had echō no mē moisture ikmas. 7 · kai Other heteros seed fell piptō in en the middle mesos of ho thorns akantha, and kai when the ho thorns akantha came symphyō up with it, they choked apopnigō it autos. 8 · kai Other heteros seed fell piptō into eis · ho good agathos soil gē, · ho and kai when it came phyō up , it produced poieō fruit karpos a hundredfold hekatontaplasiōn.” As he was saying legō these houtos things he began to call phōneō out , “ Let the ho one who has echō ears ous to hear akouō, hear akouō.”

11 “ Now de this houtos is eimi what the ho parable parabolē means: The ho seed sporos is eimi the ho word logos of ho God theos. 12 Those ho · de along para the ho path hodos are eimi the ho ones who hear akouō— then eita the ho devil diabolos comes erchomai and kai takes airō away the ho word logos from apo · ho their autos heart kardia, so hina that they may not mē believe pisteuō and be saved sōzō. 13 Those ho · de that fall on epi · ho rock petra are the ones who hos, when hotan they hear akouō the ho word logos, receive dechomai it with meta joy chara; but kai they houtos have echō no ou root rhiza— they hos believe pisteuō for pros a while kairos but kai in en a time kairos of testing peirasmos they fall aphistēmi away . 14 As for de what ho fell piptō among eis the ho thorns akantha— these houtos are eimi the ho ones who hear akouō, but kai as they go on their way poreuō they are choked sympnigō by hypo the cares merimna and kai riches ploutos and kai pleasures hēdonē of ho life bios, and kai they do not ou bring telesphoreō fruit to maturity . 15 But as for de that ho in en the ho good kalos soil gē— these houtos are eimi the ones who hostis, having heard akouō with en an honest kalos and kai good agathos heart kardia, hold firmly onto katechō the ho word logos and kai bear karpophoreō fruit through en patient hypomonē endurance .
16 “ No oudeis one · de after lighting haptō a lamp lychnos covers kalyptō it autos with a container skeuos or ē puts tithēmi it under hypokatō a bed klinē, but alla places tithēmi it on epi a lampstand lychnia, so hina that those ho who come eisporeuomai in may see blepō the ho light phōs. 17 For gar nothing ou is eimi hidden kryptos that hos will ginomai not ou be ginomai disclosed phaneros, nor oude secret apokryphos that hos will not ou mē be ginōskō known and kai come erchomai to eis light phaneros.
