Marcos 5
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Liberación de un endemoniado(A)(B)
5 Cruzaron el lago hasta llegar a la región de los gerasenos.[a] 2 Tan pronto como desembarcó Jesús, un hombre poseído por un espíritu maligno le salió al encuentro de entre los sepulcros. 3 Este hombre vivía en los sepulcros, y ya nadie podía sujetarlo, ni siquiera con cadenas. 4 Muchas veces lo habían atado con cadenas y grilletes, pero él los destrozaba, y nadie tenía fuerza para dominarlo. 5 Noche y día andaba por los sepulcros y por las colinas, gritando y golpeándose con piedras.
6 Cuando vio a Jesús desde lejos, corrió y se postró delante de él.
7 ―¿Por qué te entrometes, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo? —gritó con fuerza—. ¡Te ruego por Dios que no me atormentes!
8 Es que Jesús le había dicho: «¡Sal de este hombre, espíritu maligno!»
9 ―¿Cómo te llamas? —le preguntó Jesús.
―Me llamo Legión —respondió—, porque somos muchos.
10 Y con insistencia le suplicaba a Jesús que no los expulsara de aquella región.
11 Como en una colina estaba paciendo una gran piara de cerdos, los demonios le rogaron a Jesús:
12 ―Mándanos a los cerdos; déjanos entrar en ellos.
13 Así que él les dio permiso. Cuando los espíritus malignos salieron del hombre, entraron en los cerdos, que eran unos dos mil, y la piara se precipitó al lago por el despeñadero y allí se ahogó.
14 Los que cuidaban los cerdos salieron huyendo y dieron la noticia en el pueblo y por los campos, y la gente fue a ver lo que había pasado. 15 Llegaron adonde estaba Jesús y, cuando vieron al que había estado poseído por la legión de demonios, sentado, vestido y en su sano juicio, tuvieron miedo. 16 Los que habían presenciado estos hechos le contaron a la gente lo que había sucedido con el endemoniado y con los cerdos. 17 Entonces la gente comenzó a suplicarle a Jesús que se fuera de la región.
18 Mientras subía Jesús a la barca, el que había estado endemoniado le rogaba que le permitiera acompañarlo. 19 Jesús no se lo permitió, sino que le dijo:
―Vete a tu casa, a los de tu familia, y diles todo lo que el Señor ha hecho por ti y cómo ha tenido compasión de ti.
20 Así que el hombre se fue y se puso a proclamar en Decápolis lo mucho que Jesús había hecho por él. Y toda la gente se quedó asombrada.
Una niña muerta y una mujer enferma(C)
21 Jesús regresó en la barca al otro lado del lago, y se reunió alrededor de él una gran multitud, por lo que él se quedó en la orilla. 22 Llegó entonces uno de los jefes de la sinagoga, llamado Jairo. Al ver a Jesús, se arrojó a sus pies, 23 suplicándole con insistencia:
―Mi hijita se está muriendo. Ven y pon tus manos sobre ella para que sane y viva.
24 Jesús se fue con él, y lo seguía una gran multitud, que lo apretujaba. 25 Había entre la gente una mujer que hacía doce años que padecía de hemorragias. 26 Había sufrido mucho a manos de varios médicos, y se había gastado todo lo que tenía sin que le hubiera servido de nada, pues, en vez de mejorar, iba de mal en peor. 27 Cuando oyó hablar de Jesús, se le acercó por detrás entre la gente y tocó su manto. 28 Pensaba: «Si logro tocar siquiera su ropa, quedaré sana». 29 Al instante cesó su hemorragia, y se dio cuenta de que su cuerpo había quedado libre de esa aflicción.
30 Al momento también Jesús se dio cuenta de que de él había salido poder, así que se volvió hacia la gente y preguntó:
―¿Quién me ha tocado la ropa?
31 ―Ves que te apretuja la gente —le contestaron sus discípulos—, y aun así preguntas: “¿Quién me ha tocado?”
32 Pero Jesús seguía mirando a su alrededor para ver quién lo había hecho. 33 La mujer, sabiendo lo que le había sucedido, se acercó temblando de miedo y, arrojándose a sus pies, le confesó toda la verdad.
34 ―¡Hija, tu fe te ha sanado! —le dijo Jesús—. Vete en paz y queda sana de tu aflicción.
35 Todavía estaba hablando Jesús cuando llegaron unos hombres de la casa de Jairo, jefe de la sinagoga, para decirle:
―Tu hija ha muerto. ¿Para qué sigues molestando al Maestro?
36 Sin hacer caso de la noticia, Jesús le dijo al jefe de la sinagoga:
―No tengas miedo; cree nada más.
37 No dejó que nadie lo acompañara, excepto Pedro, Jacobo y Juan, el hermano de Jacobo. 38 Cuando llegaron a la casa del jefe de la sinagoga, Jesús notó el alboroto, y que la gente lloraba y daba grandes alaridos. 39 Entró y les dijo:
―¿Por qué tanto alboroto y llanto? La niña no está muerta, sino dormida.
40 Entonces empezaron a burlarse de él, pero él los sacó a todos, tomó consigo al padre y a la madre de la niña y a los discípulos que estaban con él, y entró adonde estaba la niña. 41 La tomó de la mano y le dijo:
―Talita cum[b] (que significa: Niña, a ti te digo, ¡levántate!).
42 La niña, que tenía doce años, se levantó en seguida y comenzó a andar. Ante este hecho, todos se llenaron de asombro. 43 Él dio órdenes estrictas de que nadie se enterara de lo ocurrido, y les mandó que dieran de comer a la niña.
Mark 5
1599 Geneva Bible
5 2 One possessed is healed. 7 The devil acknowledgeth Christ. 9 A Legion of devils. 13 entered into swine. 22 Jairus’s daughter. 25 A woman is healed of a bloody issue. 26 Physicians. 34 Faith. 39 Sleep.
1 And (A)[a]they came over to the other side of the sea into the country of the [b]Gadarenes.
2 And when he was come out of the ship, there met him incontinently out of the graves, a man [c]which had an unclean spirit:
3 Who had his abiding among the graves, and no man could bind him, no not with chains:
4 Because that when he was often bound with fetters and chains, he plucked the chains asunder, and brake the fetters in pieces, neither could any man tame him.
5 And always both night and day he cried in the mountains, and in the graves, and struck himself with stones.
6 And when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran, and worshipped him,
7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus the Son of the most High God? I [d]will that thou swear to me by God, that thou torment me not.
8 (For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.)
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? and he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
10 And he [e]prayed him instantly, that he would not send them away out of the country.
11 Now there was there in the [f]mountains a great heard of swine, feeding.
12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 And incontinently Jesus gave them leave. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered into the swine, and the herd ran headlong from the high bank into the [g]sea, (and there were about two thousand swine) and they were choked up in the sea.
14 And the swineherds fled, and told it in the city, and in the country, and they came out to see what it was that was done.
15 And they came to Jesus, and saw him that had been possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sit both clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
16 And they that saw it, told them, what was done to him that was possessed with the devil, and concerning the swine.
17 Then they began to pray him, that he would depart from their coasts.
18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil, prayed him that he might be with him.
19 Howbeit, Jesus would not suffer him, but said unto him, Go thy way home to thy friends, and show them what great things the Lord hath done unto thee, and how he hath had compassion on thee.
20 So he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis, what great things Jesus had done unto him: and all men did marvel.
21 ¶ And when Jesus was come over again by ship unto the other side, a great multitude gathered together to him, and he was near unto the sea.
22 (B)And [h]behold, there came one of the rulers of the Synagogue, whose name was Jairus: and when he saw him, he fell down at his feet,
23 And besought him instantly, saying, My little daughter lieth at point of death: I pray thee that thou wouldest come and lay thine hands on her, that she may be healed, and live.
24 Then he went with him, and a great multitude followed him and thronged him.
25 ([i]And there was a certain woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and it availed her nothing, but she became much worse.
27 When she had heard of Jesus, she came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28 For she said, if I may but touch his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the course of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body, that she was healed of that plague.
30 And immediately when Jesus did know in himself the virtue that went out of him, he turned him round about in the press, and said, Who hath touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude throng thee, and sayest thou, Who did touch me?
32 And he looked round about, to see her that had done that.
33 And the woman feared and trembled: for she knew what was done in her, and she came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
34 And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.)
35 While he yet spake, there came from the same ruler of the Synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why diseasest thou the master any further?
36 [j]As soon as Jesus heard that word spoken, he said unto the ruler of the Synagogue, Be not afraid: only believe.
37 And he suffered no man to follow him save Peter and James, and John the brother of James.
38 So he came unto the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, and saw the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
39 And he went in, and said unto them, Why make ye this trouble, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleepeth.
40 [k]And they laughed him to scorn: but he put them all out, and took the father, and the mother of the child, and them [l]that were with him, and entered in where the child lay,
41 And took the child by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi, which is by interpretation, Maiden, I say unto thee, arise.
42 And straightway the maiden arose, and walked: for she was of the age of twelve years, and they were astonied out of measure.
43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know of it, and commanded to give her meat.
