Luke 8
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
Some Women Accompany Jesus
8 Soon afterwards he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him, 2 as well as some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, 3 and Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them[a] out of their resources.
The Parable of the Sower
4 When a great crowd gathered and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable: 5 ‘A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell on the path and was trampled on, and the birds of the air ate it up. 6 Some fell on the rock; and as it grew up, it withered for lack of moisture. 7 Some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it. 8 Some fell into good soil, and when it grew, it produced a hundredfold.’ As he said this, he called out, ‘Let anyone with ears to hear listen!’
The Purpose of the Parables
9 Then his disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10 He said, ‘To you it has been given to know the secrets[b] of the kingdom of God; but to others I speak[c] in parables, so that
“looking they may not perceive,
and listening they may not understand.”
The Parable of the Sower Explained
11 ‘Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 The ones on the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe only for a while and in a time of testing fall away. 14 As for what fell among the thorns, these are the ones who hear; but as they go on their way, they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. 15 But as for that in the good soil, these are the ones who, when they hear the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.
A Lamp under a Jar
16 ‘No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light. 17 For nothing is hidden that will not be disclosed, nor is anything secret that will not become known and come to light. 18 Then pay attention to how you listen; for to those who have, more will be given; and from those who do not have, even what they seem to have will be taken away.’
The True Kindred of Jesus
19 Then his mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd. 20 And he was told, ‘Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’ 21 But he said to them, ‘My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.’
Jesus Calms a Storm
22 One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, ‘Let us go across to the other side of the lake.’ So they put out, 23 and while they were sailing he fell asleep. A gale swept down on the lake, and the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger. 24 They went to him and woke him up, shouting, ‘Master, Master, we are perishing!’ And he woke up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 He said to them, ‘Where is your faith?’ They were afraid and amazed, and said to one another, ‘Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?’
Jesus Heals the Gerasene Demoniac
26 Then they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes,[d] which is opposite Galilee. 27 As he stepped out on land, a man of the city who had demons met him. For a long time he had worn[e] no clothes, and he did not live in a house but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he fell down before him and shouted at the top of his voice, ‘What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me’— 29 for Jesus[f] had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many times it had seized him; he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the wilds.) 30 Jesus then asked him, ‘What is your name?’ He said, ‘Legion’; for many demons had entered him. 31 They begged him not to order them to go back into the abyss.
32 Now there on the hillside a large herd of swine was feeding; and the demons[g] begged Jesus[h] to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. 33 Then the demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
34 When the swineherds saw what had happened, they ran off and told it in the city and in the country. 35 Then people came out to see what had happened, and when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told them how the one who had been possessed by demons had been healed. 37 Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes[i] asked Jesus[j] to leave them; for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned. 38 The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him; but Jesus[k] sent him away, saying, 39 ‘Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.’ So he went away, proclaiming throughout the city how much Jesus had done for him.
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed
40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. 41 Just then there came a man named Jairus, a leader of the synagogue. He fell at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, who was dying.
As he went, the crowds pressed in on him. 43 Now there was a woman who had been suffering from haemorrhages for twelve years; and though she had spent all she had on physicians,[l] no one could cure her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his clothes, and immediately her haemorrhage stopped. 45 Then Jesus asked, ‘Who touched me?’ When all denied it, Peter[m] said, ‘Master, the crowds surround you and press in on you.’ 46 But Jesus said, ‘Someone touched me; for I noticed that power had gone out from me.’ 47 When the woman saw that she could not remain hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him, she declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. 48 He said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.’
49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the leader’s house to say, ‘Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer.’ 50 When Jesus heard this, he replied, ‘Do not fear. Only believe, and she will be saved.’ 51 When he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother. 52 They were all weeping and wailing for her; but he said, ‘Do not weep; for she is not dead but sleeping.’ 53 And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and called out, ‘Child, get up!’ 55 Her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then he directed them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astounded; but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.

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.

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.
Лк 8
Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия для Таджикистана
Женщины следуют за Исо Масехом
8 После этого Исо ходил из города в город и из селения в селение, провозглашая Радостную Весть о Царстве Всевышнего. Его сопровождали двенадцать учеников, 2 а также несколько женщин, которые были исцелены от злых духов и болезней: Марьям из Магдалы,[a] из которой вышли семь демонов, 3 Иоханна, жена Хузы, управляющего домом Ирода, Сусанна и многие другие. Эти женщины помогали Исо и Его ученикам из своих средств.
Притча о сеятеле и семенах(A)
4 К Исо продолжали приходить люди из разных городов, и когда собралась большая толпа, Он рассказал им притчу:
5 – Сеятель вышел сеять семена. И когда он разбрасывал их, то некоторые упали у самой дороги и были затоптаны и склёваны птицами небесными. 6 Другие упали на каменистую почву, и, едва взойдя, ростки засохли от недостатка влаги. 7 Третьи упали в терновник, и когда тот разросся, то заглушил их. 8 Прочие же упали на хорошую почву. Они взошли и принесли урожай во сто раз больше того, что было посеяно.
Рассказав эту притчу, Исо громко сказал:
– У кого есть уши, чтобы слышать, пусть слышит!
Объяснение притчи о сеятеле и семенах(B)
9 И когда ученики спросили, что означает эта притча, 10 Исо ответил:
– Вам дано знать тайны Царства Всевышнего, другим же всё остаётся в притчах, чтобы
«они, смотря, не видели
и, слушая, не понимали»[b].
11 – Вот значение этой притчи: семя – это слово Всевышнего. 12 Семена, упавшие у дороги, – это те, кто слышит слово, но потом приходит дьявол и похищает слово из их сердец, чтобы они не поверили и не были бы спасены[c]. 13 Семена, упавшие на камень, – это те, кто с радостью принимает слово, когда слышит его. Но у них нет корня, сначала они верят, но когда приходят времена испытаний, они отступаются. 14 Семена, упавшие в терновник, – это те люди, которые слышат слово, но со временем повседневные заботы, богатство и удовольствия заглушают их, и плод их не дозревает. 15 Семена же, упавшие на хорошую почву, – это люди, которые, слыша слово, хранят его в добром и честном сердце и приносят плод благодаря своей стойкости.
Ответственность слушающих(C)
16 – Никто, зажёгши светильник, не ставит его под сосуд или под кровать, наоборот, его ставят на подставку, чтобы все входящие видели свет. 17 Нет ничего тайного, что не стало бы явным, и нет ничего сокрытого, что не стало бы известным и не вышло на свет. 18 Итак, будьте внимательны к тому, как вы слушаете, потому что у кого есть, тому будет дано ещё, и у кого нет, будет отнято и то, что, как ему кажется, он имеет.
Исо Масех говорит о Своей истинной семье(D)
19 К Исо пришли Его мать и братья, но из-за толпы не могли подойти к Нему. 20 Ему передали:
– Твои мать и братья стоят снаружи и хотят Тебя видеть.
21 Но Исо ответил им:
– Мои мать и братья – это те, кто слушает слово Всевышнего и исполняет его.
Усмирение шторма(E)
22 Однажды Исо сказал Своим ученикам:
– Переправимся на другую сторону озера.
Они сели в лодку и отправились. 23 Пока они плыли, Исо заснул. Внезапно на озере начался шторм, и лодку стало заливать, так что они оказались в опасности. 24 Ученики, подойдя, разбудили Исо, говоря:
– Наставник, Наставник, мы гибнем!
Проснувшись, Он запретил ветру и бушующим волнам. Они утихли, и наступил штиль.
25 – Где же ваша вера? – сказал Он ученикам. Они же, испуганные и удивлённые, лишь спрашивали друг друга:
– Кто Он, что даже ветрам и воде приказывает, и они повинуются Ему?
Изгнание демонов в стадо свиней(F)
26 Они приплыли в Гадаринскую землю, что напротив Галилеи. 27 Когда Исо сошёл на берег, Ему навстречу вышел человек из города, одержимый демонами. На нём уже давно не было одежды, и жил он не в доме, а в могильных пещерах. 28 Когда он увидел Исо, он бросился к Его ногам и закричал во весь голос:
– Что Ты от меня хочешь, Исо, Сын Бога Высочайшего (Царственный Спаситель)? Умоляю Тебя, не мучь меня! – 29 потому что Исо приказал нечистому духу выйти из этого человека. (Демон часто овладевал этим человеком, и тогда, даже если его сковывали по рукам и ногам и стерегли, он разрывал цепи, и демон гнал его в безлюдные места.) 30 Исо спросил его:
– Как тебя зовут?
– Полчище[d], – ответил тот, потому что в него вошло много демонов. 31 И они стали умолять Исо не отсылать их в бездну. 32 Неподалёку на склоне горы в это время паслось большое стадо свиней, и демоны попросили Исо позволить им войти в них. Он позволил. 33 Когда демоны вышли из этого человека и вошли в свиней, всё стадо бросилось с обрыва в озеро и утонуло. 34 Свинопасы, увидев, что произошло, побежали и рассказали обо всём в городе и в окрестностях. 35 Сошлись люди, чтобы посмотреть, что же случилось. Подойдя к Исо, они обнаружили, что человек, из которого были изгнаны демоны, сидит у ног Исо одетый и в здравом уме, и их охватил страх. 36 Очевидцы рассказали им о том, как был исцелён одержимый. 37 Тогда все жители страны Герасинской стали упрашивать Исо покинуть их края, потому что сильно испугались. Исо сел в лодку и возвратился туда, откуда приплыл. 38 Человек, из которого вышли демоны, просил взять его с Собой, но Исо отослал его, сказав:
39 – Возвращайся домой и расскажи, что сделал для тебя Всевышний.
Тот пошёл, рассказывая по всему городу о том, что сделал для него Исо.
Господство Исо Масеха над болезнью и смертью(G)
40 Когда Исо возвратился, Его приветствовала большая толпа, потому что все ждали Его. 41 К Нему подошёл человек по имени Иаир, который был начальником молитвенного дома иудеев, и павши к Его ногам, стал просить Исо прийти к нему домой: 42 его единственная дочь, которой было около двенадцати лет, умирала. Исо пошёл туда в окружении плотной толпы.
43 В толпе была женщина, двенадцать лет страдавшая кровотечением; она истратила на врачей все свои средства, но никто не мог её вылечить. 44 Она подошла сзади к Исо и прикоснулась к кисточке на краю Его одежды[e]. Кровотечение сразу же остановилось.
45 – Кто ко Мне прикоснулся? – спросил Исо.
Никто не признавался, и Петрус сказал:
– Наставник, вокруг Тебя толпятся люди и напирают со всех сторон.
46 Но Исо сказал:
– Кто-то ко Мне прикоснулся. Я почувствовал, как из Меня вышла сила.
47 Тогда женщина, видя, что она не осталась незамеченной, подошла, дрожа, и пала к Его ногам. Перед всем народом она рассказала, почему она к Нему прикоснулась и как сразу же была исцелена. 48 Тогда Исо сказал ей:
– Дочь Моя, твоя вера исцелила тебя. Иди с миром.
49 Пока Исо ещё говорил, пришёл человек от Иаира, начальника молитвенного дома.
– Твоя дочь умерла, – сказал он, – не беспокой больше Учителя.
50 Услышав это, Исо сказал Иаиру:
– Не бойся, только верь, и девочка будет спасена.
51 Когда Он вошёл в дом, то не позволил никому войти с Ним, кроме Петруса, Иохана, Якуба и родителей девочки. 52 Люди во дворе уже плакали и рыдали по ней.
– Перестаньте плакать, – сказал Исо, – ведь она не умерла, а спит.
53 Они стали смеяться над Ним, потому что знали, что девочка умерла. 54 Исо же взял её за руку и сказал:
– Дитя, встань!
55 Дух девочки возвратился к ней, и она сразу же встала. Исо сказал, чтобы ей дали есть. 56 Родители были поражены, но Исо наказал им никому не рассказывать о том, что произошло.
