Gin-ayo ni Jesus ang Tawo nga may Malaot nga mga Espiritu(A)

Pagkatapos sadto nakaabot sila sa tabok sang Dagat[a] sang Galilea, sa lugar sang mga Gerasenhon.[b] Sang nakapanaog na si Jesus sa sakayan, ginsugata siya sang isa ka tawo nga halin sa mga kuweba nga lulubngan. Ini nga tawo may malaot nga espiritu kag didto siya nagaestar sa mga kuweba nga lulubngan. Wala na gid sing may makagapos sa iya, bisan makakadena sa iya. Kay madamo na nga tion nga gin-gapos sang kadena ang iya mga tiil kag mga kamot, pero ginapamugto lang niya ini. Wala gid sing may makapugong sa iya. Adlaw-gab-i, bisan ara siya sa mga kuweba nga lulubngan ukon sa mga bukid man, permi siya nagasinggit kag ginapilas niya ang iya lawas sang bato.

Pagkakita niya kay Jesus sa malayo, nagdalagan siya pakadto sa iya kag nagluhod. 7-8 Dayon nagsiling si Jesus sa malaot nga espiritu nga nagapuyo sa sadto nga tawo, “Ikaw nga malaot nga espiritu, magguwa ka sa sini nga tawo!” Nagsinggit ang tawo, “Jesus, Anak sang Labing Mataas nga Dios, ano ang imo labot sa akon? Nagapakitluoy ako sa imo sa ngalan sang Dios nga indi mo ako pagsilutan.” Ginpamangkot siya dayon ni Jesus, “Ano ang imo ngalan?” Nagsabat siya, “Ang akon ngalan si Panong kay madamo kami.” 10 Kag sige ang iya pagpakitluoy kay Jesus nga indi lang sila pagtabugon sa sadto nga lugar.

11 Malapit didto, may madamo nga mga baboy nga nagakaon sa banglid. 12 Nagpakitluoy kay Jesus ang malaot nga mga espiritu nga nagasiling, “Tuguti na lang kami nga magsulod sa sina nga mga baboy.” 13 Gani gintugutan niya sila. Kag nagguluwa ang malaot nga mga espiritu sa tawo kag nagsulod sa mga baboy. Dayon ang tanan nga baboy didto nga mga duha ka libo nagdinaguso padulhog sa banglid deretso sa tubig kag nagkalalumos.

14 Nagdinalagan ang mga manugsagod sang mga baboy kag ginpanugid nila sa mga tawo sa banwa kag sa kaumahan ang mga natabo nga ato. Gani nagkadto ang mga tawo didto kay Jesus agod tan-awon kon ano ang natabo. 15 Pag-abot nila didto nakita nila ang tawo nga sadto anay gin-gamhan sang malaot nga mga espiritu. Nagapungko siya nga may bayo kag husto na ang iya paminsaron. Gani hinadlukan sila. 16 Ang mga nakakita mismo sa natabo nagsugid sa mga tawo kon ano ang natabo sa tawo nga gin-gamhan anay sang malaot nga mga espiritu kag ang natabo sa mga baboy. 17 Gani tungod sa sini nga hitabo, nagpakitluoy sila kay Jesus nga maghalin sa ila lugar. 18 Sang manugsakay na si Jesus sa sakayan, ang tawo nga gin-gamhan anay sang malaot nga mga espiritu nagpakitluoy sa iya nga kon mahimo paupdon siya. 19 Pero wala siya pagtuguti ni Jesus, kundi ginsilingan siya, “Magpauli ka sa imo pamilya kag sugiran mo sila kon ano ang ginhimo sang Ginoo sa imo kag kon paano siya naluoy sa imo anay kahimtangan.”

20 Gani naglakat ang tawo kag nagkadto sa Decapolis. Kag didto ginpanugid niya ang ginhimo ni Jesus sa iya. Natingala gid ang tanan nga nakabati sa iya.

Ang Bata ni Jairus kag ang Babayi nga Nagtandog sang Bayo ni Jesus(B)

21 Pagtabok liwat ni Jesus sa pihak sang dagat, madamo naman nga mga tawo ang nagtilipon didto sa iya. 22-23 Nag-abot man didto si Jairus nga isa ka manugdumala sang simbahan sang mga Judio.[c] Pagkakita niya kay Jesus, nagluhod siya sa iya kag nagpakitluoy, “Ang akon bata nga dalagita daw mapatay na. Kon mahimo kadtui siya didto sa balay kag itungtong ang imo kamot sa iya, agod mag-ayo siya kag mabuhi!” 24 Gani nag-upod si Jesus sa iya. Madamo gid nga mga tawo ang nag-upod kay Jesus kag nagadinugok sila sa iya. 25 May babayi didto nga ginapangguwaan sang dugo sa sulod sang dose na ka tuig. 26 Puwerte gid ang iya pag-antos sa pihak sang iya pagpabulong sa nagkalain-lain nga mga manugbulong. Nagasto na niya ang tanan niya nga mga pagkabutang, pero wala gid siya mag-ayo. Nagdugang pa gid gani ang iya masakit. 27 Nabatian niya ang mga balita parte kay Jesus, gani nagpanagil-ot siya sa madamo nga mga tawo agod makapalapit sa likod dampi ni Jesus. 28 Naghunahuna siya, “Kon matandog ko lang bisan ang iya bayo, magaayo gid ako.” 29 Gani gintandog niya ang bayo ni Jesus kag sa gilayon nag-untat ang pagpangguwa sang dugo sa iya, kag nabatyagan niya nga nag-ayo na siya sa iya masakit. 30 Nabatyagan ni Jesus nga may gahom nga nagguwa sa iya, gani nagliso siya kag nagsiling, “Sin-o ang nagtandog sa akon bayo?” 31 Nagsabat ang iya mga sumulunod, “Kadamo sang mga tawo nga nagadinugok sa imo, ngaa nagapamangkot ka pa kon sin-o ang nagtandog sa imo?” 32 Pero nagpanulok-tulok pa gid siya kon sin-o ang nagtandog sa iya. 33 Tungod nga nahibaluan sang babayi kon ano ang natabo sa iya, nagpalapit siya kay Jesus nga nagakurog sa kahadlok. Nagluhod siya kag nagsugid sang matuod. 34 Dayon nagsiling si Jesus sa iya, “Anak, ang imo pagtuo nag-ayo[d] sa imo. Magpauli ka nga may kalinong, kay maayo ka na.”

35 Samtang nagahambal pa siya sa babayi, may nag-abot nga pila ka mga tawo halin sa balay ni Jairus. Siling nila kay Jairus, “Patay na ang imo bata. Indi na pagdisturbuha ang manunudlo.” 36 Pero wala nagsapak si Jesus sa sadto nga balita. Nagsiling siya kay Jairus, “Indi ka magkahadlok. Magtuo ka lang.” 37 Gani nagpadayon gid sila. Pero wala siya sang may ginpaupod luwas kay Pedro kag ang mag-utod nga si Santiago kag si Juan. 38 Pag-abot nila sa balay ni Jairus, nakita ni Jesus nga nagaginahod ang mga tawo. Ang iban nagahinibi kag ang iban nagapanalambiton. 39 Nagsulod sila ni Jesus sa balay, kag nagsiling siya sa mga tawo, “Ngaa nagaginahod kag nagahinibi kamo? Indi patay ang bata, kundi nagakatulog lang.” 40 Ginkadlawan nila si Jesus. Gani ginpaguwa niya ang tanan nga tawo kag ginpasulod niya sa kuwarto sang bata ang iya sini amay kag iloy, kag ang tatlo nga iya kaupod. 41 Dayon gin-uyatan niya ang kamot sang bata kag nagsiling, “Talitha, Koum,” nga kon sa aton pa, “Day, magbangon ka!” 42 Kag nagbangon dayon ang dalagita kag naglakat-lakat. (Ang dalagita nagaedad sang dose ka tuig). Tungod sa natabo, dako gid ang ila pagkatingala. 43 Pero ginmanduan sila ni Jesus nga indi gid magpanugid bisan kay sin-o parte sa natabo. Dayon ginsilingan niya sila nga hatagan sang pagkaon ang bata.

他 们 来 到 海 那 边 格 拉 森 人 的 地 方 。

耶 稣 一 下 船 , 就 有 一 个 被 污 鬼 附 着 的 人 从 坟 茔 里 出 来 迎 着 他 。

那 人 常 住 在 坟 茔 里 , 没 有 人 能 捆 住 他 , 就 是 用 铁 炼 也 不 能 ;

因 为 人 屡 次 用 脚 镣 和 铁 炼 捆 锁 他 , 铁 炼 竟 被 他 挣 断 了 , 脚 镣 也 被 他 弄 碎 了 ; 总 没 有 人 能 制 伏 他 。

他 昼 夜 常 在 坟 茔 里 和 山 中 喊 叫 , 又 用 石 头 砍 自 己 。

他 远 远 的 看 见 耶 稣 , 就 跑 过 去 拜 他 ,

大 声 呼 叫 说 : 至 高 神 的 儿 子 耶 稣 , 我 与 你 有 甚 麽 相 干 ? 我 指 着 神 恳 求 你 , 不 要 叫 我 受 苦 !

是 因 耶 稣 曾 吩 咐 他 说 : 污 鬼 阿 , 从 这 人 身 上 出 来 罢 !

耶 稣 问 他 说 : 你 名 叫 甚 麽 ? 回 答 说 : 我 名 叫 群 , 因 为 我 们 多 的 缘 故 ;

10 就 再 三 的 求 耶 稣 , 不 要 叫 他 们 离 开 那 地 方 。

11 在 那 里 山 坡 上 , 有 一 大 群 猪 吃 食 ;

12 鬼 就 央 求 耶 稣 说 : 求 你 打 发 我 们 往 猪 群 里 , 附 着 猪 去 。

13 耶 稣 准 了 他 们 , 污 鬼 就 出 来 , 进 入 猪 里 去 。 於 是 那 群 猪 闯 下 山 崖 , 投 在 海 里 , 淹 死 了 。 猪 的 数 目 约 有 二 千 。

14 放 猪 的 就 逃 跑 了 , 去 告 诉 城 里 和 乡 下 的 人 。 众 人 就 来 , 要 看 是 甚 麽 事 。

15 他 们 来 到 耶 稣 那 里 , 看 见 那 被 鬼 附 着 的 人 , 就 是 从 前 被 群 鬼 所 附 的 , 坐 着 , 穿 上 衣 服 , 心 里 明 白 过 来 , 他 们 就 害 怕 。

16 看 见 这 事 的 , 便 将 鬼 附 之 人 所 遇 见 的 和 那 群 猪 的 事 都 告 诉 了 众 人 ;

17 众 人 就 央 求 耶 稣 离 开 他 们 的 境 界 。

18 耶 稣 上 船 的 时 候 , 那 从 前 被 鬼 附 着 的 人 恳 求 和 耶 稣 同 在 。

19 耶 稣 不 许 , 却 对 他 说 : 你 回 家 去 , 到 你 的 亲 属 那 里 , 将 主 为 你 所 做 的 是 何 等 大 的 事 , 是 怎 样 怜 悯 你 , 都 告 诉 他 们 。

20 那 人 就 走 了 , 在 低 加 波 利 传 扬 耶 稣 为 他 做 了 何 等 大 的 事 , 众 人 就 都 希 奇 。

21 耶 稣 坐 船 又 渡 到 那 边 去 , 就 有 许 多 人 到 他 那 里 聚 集 ; 他 正 在 海 边 上 。

22 有 一 个 管 会 堂 的 人 , 名 叫 睚 鲁 , 来 见 耶 稣 , 就 俯 伏 在 他 脚 前 ,

23 再 三 的 求 他 , 说 : 我 的 小 女 儿 快 要 死 了 , 求 你 去 按 手 在 他 身 上 , 使 他 痊 愈 , 得 以 活 了 。

24 耶 稣 就 和 他 同 去 。 有 许 多 人 跟 随 拥 挤 他 。

25 有 一 个 女 人 , 患 了 十 二 年 的 血 漏 ,

26 在 好 些 医 生 手 里 受 了 许 多 的 苦 , 又 花 尽 了 他 所 有 的 , 一 点 也 不 见 好 , 病 势 反 倒 更 重 了 。

27 他 听 见 耶 稣 的 事 , 就 从 後 头 来 , 杂 在 众 人 中 间 , 摸 耶 稣 的 衣 裳 ,

28 意 思 说 : 我 只 摸 他 的 衣 裳 , 就 必 痊 愈 。

29 於 是 他 血 漏 的 源 头 立 刻 乾 了 ; 他 便 觉 得 身 上 的 灾 病 好 了 。

30 耶 稣 顿 时 心 里 觉 得 有 能 力 从 自 己 身 上 出 去 , 就 在 众 人 中 间 转 过 来 , 说 : 谁 摸 我 的 衣 裳 ?

31 门 徒 对 他 说 : 你 看 众 人 拥 挤 你 , 还 说 谁 摸 我 麽 ?

32 耶 稣 周 围 观 看 , 要 见 做 这 事 的 女 人 。

33 那 女 人 知 道 在 自 己 身 上 所 成 的 事 , 就 恐 惧 战 兢 , 来 俯 伏 在 耶 稣 跟 前 , 将 实 情 全 告 诉 他 。

34 耶 稣 对 他 说 : 女 儿 , 你 的 信 救 了 你 , 平 平 安 安 的 回 去 罢 ! 你 的 灾 病 痊 愈 了 。

35 还 说 话 的 时 候 , 有 人 从 管 会 堂 的 家 里 来 , 说 : 你 的 女 儿 死 了 , 何 必 还 劳 动 先 生 呢 ?

36 耶 稣 听 见 所 说 的 话 , 就 对 管 会 堂 的 说 : 不 要 怕 , 只 要 信 !

37 於 是 带 着 彼 得 、 雅 各 、 和 雅 各 的 兄 弟 约 翰 同 去 , 不 许 别 人 跟 随 他 。

38 他 们 来 到 管 会 堂 的 家 里 ; 耶 稣 看 见 那 里 乱 嚷 , 并 有 人 大 大 的 哭 泣 哀 号 ,

39 进 到 里 面 , 就 对 他 们 说 : 为 甚 麽 乱 嚷 哭 泣 呢 ? 孩 子 不 是 死 了 , 是 睡 着 了 。

40 他 们 就 嗤 笑 耶 稣 。 耶 稣 把 他 们 都 撵 出 去 , 就 带 着 孩 子 的 父 母 , 和 跟 随 的 人 进 了 孩 子 所 在 的 地 方 ,

41 就 拉 着 孩 子 的 手 , 对 他 说 : 大 利 大 , 古 米 ! ? 出 来 就 是 说 : 闺 女 , 我 吩 咐 你 起 来 !

42 那 闺 女 立 时 起 来 走 。 他 们 就 大 大 的 惊 奇 ; 闺 女 已 经 十 二 岁 了 。

43 耶 稣 切 切 的 嘱 咐 他 们 , 不 要 叫 人 知 道 这 事 , 又 吩 咐 给 他 东 西 吃 。

Chapter 5

The Healing of the Gerasene Demoniac. [a](A)They came to the other side of the sea, to the territory of the Gerasenes. When he got out of the boat, at once a man[b] from the tombs who had an unclean spirit met him. The man had been dwelling among the tombs, and no one could restrain him any longer, even with a chain. In fact, he had frequently been bound with shackles and chains, but the chains had been pulled apart by him and the shackles smashed, and no one was strong enough to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and on the hillsides he was always crying out and bruising himself with stones. Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran up and prostrated himself before him, crying out in a loud voice, “What have you to do with me,[c] Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me!” (He had been saying to him, “Unclean spirit, come out of the man!”) [d]He asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “Legion is my name. There are many of us.”(B) 10 And he pleaded earnestly with him not to drive them away from that territory.

11 Now a large herd of swine[e] was feeding there on the hillside. 12 And they pleaded with him, “Send us into the swine. Let us enter them.” 13 And he let them, and the unclean spirits came out and entered the swine. The herd of about two thousand rushed down a steep bank into the sea, where they were drowned. 14 The swineherds ran away and reported the incident in the town and throughout the countryside. And people came out to see what had happened. 15 As they approached Jesus, they caught sight of the man who had been possessed by Legion, sitting there clothed and in his right mind. And they were seized with fear. 16 Those who witnessed the incident explained to them what had happened to the possessed man and to the swine. 17 Then they began to beg him to leave their district. 18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed pleaded to remain with him. 19 But he would not permit him but told him instead, “Go home[f] to your family and announce to them all that the Lord in his pity has done for you.” 20 Then the man went off and began to proclaim in the Decapolis what Jesus had done for him; and all were amazed.

Jairus’s Daughter and the Woman with a Hemorrhage.[g] 21 When Jesus had crossed again [in the boat] to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he stayed close to the sea.(C) 22 One of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward.(D) Seeing him he fell at his feet 23 and pleaded earnestly with him, saying, “My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay your hands on her[h] that she may get well and live.” 24 He went off with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed upon him.

25 There was a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. 26 She had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet she was not helped but only grew worse. 27 She had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak. 28 [i]She said, “If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.” 29 Immediately her flow of blood dried up. She felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction. 30 Jesus, aware at once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who has touched my clothes?” 31 But his disciples said to him, “You see how the crowd is pressing upon you, and yet you ask, ‘Who touched me?’” 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 The woman, realizing what had happened to her, approached in fear and trembling. She fell down before Jesus and told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.”(E)

35 [j]While he was still speaking, people from the synagogue official’s house arrived and said, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer?” 36 Disregarding the message that was reported, Jesus said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid; just have faith.” 37 He did not allow anyone to accompany him inside except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. 38 When they arrived at the house of the synagogue official, he caught sight of a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 [k](F)So he went in and said to them, “Why this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.” 40 And they ridiculed him. Then he put them all out. He took along the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and entered the room where the child was. 41 [l]He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!” 42 The girl, a child of twelve, arose immediately and walked around. [At that] they were utterly astounded. 43 He gave strict orders that no one should know this and said that she should be given something to eat.

  1. 5:1 The territory of the Gerasenes: the reference is to pagan territory; cf. Is 65:1. Another reading is “Gadarenes”; see note on Mt 8:28.
  2. 5:2–6 The man was an outcast from society, dominated by unclean spirits (Mk 5:8, 13), living among the tombs. The prostration before Jesus (Mk 5:6) indicates Jesus’ power over evil spirits.
  3. 5:7 What have you to do with me?: cf. Mk 1:24 and see note on Jn 2:4.
  4. 5:9 Legion is my name: the demons were numerous and the condition of the possessed man was extremely serious; cf. Mt 12:45.
  5. 5:11 Herd of swine: see note on Mt 8:30.
  6. 5:19 Go home: Jesus did not accept the man’s request to remain with him as a disciple (Mk 5:18), yet invited him to announce to his own people what the Lord had done for him, i.e., proclaim the gospel message to his pagan family; cf. Mk 1:14, 39; 3:14; 13:10.
  7. 5:21–43 The story of the raising to life of Jairus’s daughter is divided into two parts: Mk 5:21–24; 5:35–43. Between these two separated parts the account of the cure of the hemorrhage victim (Mk 5:25–34) is interposed. This technique of intercalating or sandwiching one story within another occurs several times in Mk 3:19b–21; 3:22–30 3:31–35; 6:6b–13; 6:14–29; 6:30; 11:12–14; 11:15–19; 11:20–25; 14:53; 14:54; 14:55–65; 14:66–73.
  8. 5:23 Lay your hands on her: this act for the purpose of healing is frequent in Mk 6:5; 7:32–35; 8:23–25; 16:18 and is also found in Mt 9:18; Lk 4:40; 13:13; Acts 9:17; 28:8.
  9. 5:28 Both in the case of Jairus and his daughter (Mk 5:23) and in the case of the hemorrhage victim, the inner conviction that physical contact (Mk 5:30) accompanied by faith in Jesus’ saving power could effect a cure was rewarded.
  10. 5:35 The faith of Jairus was put to a twofold test: (1) that his daughter might be cured and, now that she had died, (2) that she might be restored to life. His faith contrasts with the lack of faith of the crowd.
  11. 5:39 Not dead but asleep: the New Testament often refers to death as sleep (Mt 27:52; Jn 11:11; 1 Cor 15:6; 1 Thes 4:13–15); see note on Mt 9:24.
  12. 5:41 Arise: the Greek verb egeirein is the verb generally used to express resurrection from death (Mk 6:14, 16; Mt 11:5; Lk 7:14) and Jesus’ own resurrection (Mk 16:6; Mt 28:6; Lk 24:6).

Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(A)(B)

They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.[a] When Jesus got out of the boat,(C) a man with an impure spirit(D) came from the tombs to meet him. This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,(E) Jesus, Son of the Most High God?(F) In God’s name don’t torture me!” For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”

Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”

“My name is Legion,”(G) he replied, “for we are many.” 10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.

11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. 15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion(H) of demons,(I) sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. 17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.

18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. 19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them(J) how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis[b](K) how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(L)

21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake,(M) a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.(N) 22 Then one of the synagogue leaders,(O) named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. 23 He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on(P) her so that she will be healed and live.” 24 So Jesus went with him.

A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(Q) for twelve years. 26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes,(R) I will be healed.” 29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.(S)

30 At once Jesus realized that power(T) had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’

32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(U) Go in peace(V) and be freed from your suffering.”

35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(W) “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”

36 Overhearing[c] what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.(X) 38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader,(Y) Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.”(Z) 40 But they laughed at him.

After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41 He took her by the hand(AA) and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).(AB) 42 Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. 43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this,(AC) and told them to give her something to eat.
