Luke 8
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.

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.

Иисус проповедует по всей стране
8 После этого Иисус пошёл через города и селения, проповедуя и неся людям Благую Весть о Царстве Божьем. И были с Ним двенадцать апостолов, 2 а также несколько женщин, которых Он исцелил от злых духов и болезней. Среди них была Мария из города Магдала, из которой Он изгнал семь бесов, 3 Иоанна, жена Хузы, домоправителя Ирода, Сусанна и много других женщин, которые помогали Иисусу и Его апостолам из своих личных средств.
Притча о сеятеле
(Мф. 13:1-17; Мк. 4:1-12)
4 И когда собралось вместе множество народа, стекавшегося к Нему из разных городов, Иисус рассказал им такую притчу:
5 «Вышел сеятель сеять. Когда он разбрасывал семена, одни из них упали у дороги, и их затоптали, и птицы небесные склевали их. 6 Другие семена попали на каменистую почву и, взойдя, засохли, так как не имели влаги. 7 Третьи упали среди колючек, колючки выросли и задушили молодые ростки. 8 Остальные семена попали на благодатную почву, проросли и принесли зерна в сто раз больше, чем было посеяно».
Рассказав эту притчу, Он закончил такими словами: «Имеющий уши да услышит!»
9 Ученики стали спрашивать Его, что означает эта притча.
10 Иисус ответил им: «Вам дано познать тайны Царства Божьего, но остальным даны только притчи, так что
смотрят они и не видят,
слышат и не понимают»[a].
Иисус объясняет притчу о сеятеле
(Мф. 13:18-23; Мк. 4:13-20)
11 «Вот что означает эта притча: семена—это слово Божье. 12 Те, что упали при дороге, означают тех людей, которые его слышат, но приходит дьявол и похищает слово из их сердец, так что они не могут поверить в услышанное и обрести спасение. 13 Те, что попали на камни, означают тех людей, которые слушают и принимают слово Божье с ликованием, но у них нет прочных корней, и потому они лишь на некоторое время исполняются верой, но, когда наступает время испытаний, они теряют веру и отворачиваются от Бога. 14 Семена, упавшие среди колючек, означают тех, кто слышат слово, но продолжают следовать прежнему образу жизни и со временем задыхаются под бременем забот, богатств и удовольствий жизни, и их плод никогда не созревает. 15 Зёрна же, попавшие в хорошую землю, означают тех, кто слушают слово Божье с чистым и добрым сердцем, верно хранят его и не отступают, пока оно не принесёт хороший урожай».
Пользуйтесь тем, что имеете
(Мк. 4:21-25)
16 «Никто, зажигая светильник, не ставит его под перевёрнутый кверху дном сосуд и не прячет его под кровать, а наоборот, его ставят на подставку, чтобы все, кто заходят, видели свет. 17 Потому что нет ничего тайного, что не стало бы явным, и нет ничего скрываемого, что не вышло бы наружу и не стало бы известно. 18 Поэтому слушайте внимательно, потому что тот, кому дано, получит ещё больше, а у кого нет ничего, у того отнимется даже то, что он считает своим».
Истинная семья Иисуса—Его ученики
(Мф. 12:46-50; Мк. 3:31-35)
19 Мать Иисуса и Его братья пришли к Нему, но из-за толпы они не могли пройти к Нему. 20 Тогда кто-то сказал Ему: «Твоя мать с братьями стоят на улице и хотят видеть Тебя».
21 Но Иисус ответил: «Моя мать и Мои братья—это те, кто слушают слово Божье и исполняют его».
Иисус усмиряет бурю
(Мф. 8:23-27; Мк. 4:35-41)
22 В один из дней Иисус и Его ученики сели в лодку. Он сказал им: «Давайте переплывём на другую сторону озера». И они отправились. 23 Но пока они плыли, Иисус уснул, а на озере разыгралась сильная буря, их лодку стало заливать водой, и они были в опасности. 24 Тогда ученики подошли к Нему и разбудили Его со словами: «Господи, Господи, мы тонем!»
Проснувшись, Иисус приказал ветру и волнам, тогда ветер утих и озеро успокоилось. 25 И сказал Он им: «Где ваша вера?»
Они в страхе и удивлении говорили друг другу: «Кто же Он Такой, что повелевает воде и ветру, и они повинуются Ему?»
Изгнание бесов из одержимого
(Мф. 8:28-34; Мк. 5:1-20)
26 Из Галилеи они отплыли в землю Герасинскую[b], лежащую на противоположном берегу озера. 27 Когда Иисус вышел из лодки на берег, к Нему подошёл человек из этого города, одержимый бесами, который долгое время не носил никакой одежды и жил не в доме, а в гробницах. 28-29 Бес много раз вселялся в этого человека, и, хотя его заковывали в цепи и оковы и держали под стражей, он каждый раз рвал цепи и, гонимый бесом, убегал в пустыню. Иисус приказал бесу выйти из этого человека. Увидев Иисуса, бесноватый упал перед Ним ниц и громким голосом закричал: «Что тебе нужно от Меня, Иисус, Сын Всевышнего Бога? Прошу Тебя, не мучь меня!»
30 Иисус спросил его: «Как твоё имя?»
Тот ответил: «Легион», так как он был одержим многими бесами. 31 И они молили Иисуса не отправлять их в бездну[c]. 32 Неподалёку от этого места в горах паслось стадо свиней, и бесы стали просить Иисуса, чтобы Он разрешил им вселиться в свиней. И Он позволил им сделать это. 33 Тогда бесы вышли из этого человека и вселились в свиней, и всё стадо кинулось вниз по крутому склону прямо в озеро, и утонуло в нём.
34 Пастухи же, увидев такое, убежали в страхе и рассказали о происшедшем в городе и по всей округе. 35 К Иисусу со всех сторон стали стекаться люди посмотреть, что происходит, и они нашли человека, из которого вышли бесы, сидящим у ног Иисуса. На нём была одежда, и он был в полном рассудке, и люди испугались, увидев это. 36 Свидетели случившегося рассказали другим о том, как был исцелён одержимый бесами. 37 Жители Герасинской земли и окрестностей просили Иисуса уйти из их краёв, так как великий страх охватил их. Тогда Он снова сел в лодку и возвратился туда, откуда приплыл. 38 Человек, из которого вышли бесы, молил Его, чтобы Он взял его с Собой, но Иисус отослал его прочь, сказав: 39 «Возвращайся к себе домой и расскажи всем о том, какое великое чудо сотворил для тебя Бог».
Затем тот человек ушёл и по всему городу рассказывал о том, какое великое чудо сотворил для него Иисус.
Воскрешение дочери Иаира и исцеление больной
(Мф. 9:18-26; Мк. 5:21-43)
40 Когда Иисус возвратился в Галилею, множество народа приветствовало Его, так как все люди дожидались Его прибытия. 41 В это время к Иисусу подошёл глава синагоги по имени Иаир, упал к Его ногам и стал умолять Его прийти к нему в дом, 42 потому что у него была единственная дочь двенадцати лет от роду, которая лежала при смерти.
По дороге, когда Иисус шёл к Иаиру, Его сзади теснила толпа. 43 Одна женщина, которая двенадцать лет страдала кровотечениями и которую никто не мог исцелить, хотя она истратила на врачей всё, что имела[d], 44 подошла к Нему сзади и коснулась полы Его накидки, и тут же кровотечение у неё прекратилось. 45 Иисус спросил: «Кто прикоснулся ко Мне?»—но никто не признавался. Тогда Пётр сказал: «Господи, множество народа толпится сзади Тебя и теснит».
46 Но Иисус возразил: «Кто-то коснулся Меня, потому что Я почувствовал, как сила ушла из Меня». 47 Когда женщина увидела, что её поступок не остался незамечен, то приблизилась к Иисусу и, вся дрожа, склонившись перед Ним, объявила во всеуслышание, что побудило её коснуться Его и как она тотчас исцелилась. 48 Он сказал ей: «Дочь моя, твоя вера исцелила тебя, иди с миром».
49 Когда Иисус ещё говорил это, кто-то вышел из дома главы синагоги и сказал: «Твоя дочь умерла, не утруждай же больше Учителя».
50 Но Иисус, услышав это, ответил: «Не бойся. Только веруй, и твоя дочь поправится».
51 Когда же Он приблизился к дому, то не позволил никому войти вместе с Ним, кроме Петра, Иоанна, Иакова и родителей девочки. 52 Все они оплакивали её и скорбели о ней, но Он сказал: «Не плачьте, так как она не умерла, а просто заснула».
53 Но люди стали смеяться над Ним, зная, что она умерла. 54 Тогда Иисус взял её за руку и воскликнул: «Встань, дитя!» 55 Дух девочки возвратился в тело, и она сразу же поднялась. Иисус велел дать ей чего-нибудь поесть. 56 Её родители были изумлены, но Он велел им не рассказывать никому о происшедшем.

The Parable of the Sower(A)
8 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God.(B) The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene)(C) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s(D) household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.
4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: 5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. 6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”
When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(E)
9 His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10 He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you,(F) but to others I speak in parables, so that,
11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.(H) 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.(I) 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches(J) and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.
A Lamp on a Stand
16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.(K) 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.(L) 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”(M)
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers(N)
19 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers(O) are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”(P)

22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master,(S) we’re going to drown!”
He got up and rebuked(T) the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.(U) 25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.
In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”
Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(V)(W)
26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[b] which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,(X) Jesus, Son of the Most High God?(Y) I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.
30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.(Z)
32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake(AA) and was drowned.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet,(AB) dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed(AC) man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them,(AD) because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(AE)
40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader,(AF) came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.
As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(AG) for twelve years,[c] but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak,(AH) and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master,(AI) the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me;(AJ) I know that power has gone out from me.”(AK)
47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(AL) Go in peace.”(AM)
49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(AN) “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”
50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James,(AO) and the child’s father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning(AP) for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”(AQ)
53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!”(AR) 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.(AS)
