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.

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.”
9 Now de his autos disciples mathētēs were questioning eperōtaō him autos · ho as to what tis this houtos parable parabolē meant eimi. · ho 10 He ho · de said legō, “ To you hymeis it has been given didōmi to know ginōskō the ho secrets mystērion of the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos, but de to the ho rest loipos I speak in en parables parabolē, so hina that seeing blepō they may not mē see blepō, and kai hearing akouō they may not mē understand syniēmi.
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.
18 “ Take blepō care , then oun, how pōs you hear akouō! For gar whoever hos an has echō—more will be given didōmi to him autos; and kai whoever hos does not mē have echō— even kai what hos he seems dokeō to have echō will be taken airō away from apo him autos.”

22 It happened ginomai · de in en one heis of those ho days hēmera · kai that he autos and kai his autos disciples mathētēs got embainō into eis a boat ploion, · ho and kai he said legō to pros them autos, “ Let us go dierchomai across to eis the ho other peran side of the ho lake limnē.” So kai they put out anagō from shore . 23 As they autos were sailing pleō along , · de he fell asleep aphypnoō, and kai a windstorm lailaps swept katabainō down on eis the ho lake limnē and kai they were being swamped symplēroō and kai were in danger kindyneuō. 24 They went proserchomai · de to Jesus and woke diegeirō him autos up , saying legō, “ Master epistatēs, Master epistatēs, we are about to perish apollymi!” Having been awakened diegeirō he ho · de rebuked epitimaō the ho wind anemos and kai the ho raging klydōn of the ho water hydōr, and kai they stopped pauō, and kai there was ginomai a calm galēnē. 25 He said legō · de to them autos, “ Where pou is · ho your hymeis faith pistis?” They were afraid phobeomai · de and amazed thaumazō, saying legō to pros one allēlōn another , “ Who tis, then ara, is eimi this houtos that hoti he commands epitassō even kai the ho winds anemos and kai the ho water hydōr and kai they obey hypakouō him autos?”
26 Then kai they came katapleō to land in eis the ho region chōra of the ho Gerasenes Gerasēnos, which hostis is eimi across antipera the lake from ho Galilee Galilaia. 27 When he autos stepped exerchomai out · de on epi the ho land gē, a tis man anēr from ek the ho town polis met hypantaō him, who was possessed echō by demons daimonion, and kai for a long hikanos time chronos had not ou worn endyō clothes himation or kai had menō not ou lived menō in en a house oikia but alla among en the ho tombs mnēma. 28 When he saw · de · ho Jesus Iēsous, he cried anakrazō out and fell prospiptō prostate before him autos and kai in a loud megas voice phōnē said legō, “ What tis have I egō · kai to do with you sy, Jesus Iēsous, Son hyios of the ho Most High hypsistos God theos? · ho I beg deomai you sy, do basanizō not mē torment basanizō me egō!?” 29 For gar Jesus had commanded parangellō the ho unclean akathartos spirit pneuma · ho to come exerchomai out of apo the ho man anthrōpos; for gar many polys times chronos it had seized synarpazō him autos and kai he was kept desmeuō under guard and bound phylassō with chains halysis and kai shackles pedē, yet kai he would break his ho bonds desmos and be driven elaunō by hypo the ho demon daimonion into eis the ho desert erēmos. 30 Jesus Iēsous asked eperōtaō · de him autos, · ho “ What tis is eimi your sy name onoma?” And de he ho said legō, “ Legion legiōn.” ( For hoti many polys demons daimonion had entered eiserchomai into eis him autos.) 31 And kai they begged parakaleō him autos not mē to hina order epitassō them autos to go away aperchomai into eis the ho abyss abyssos.
