Jesús expulsa unos demonios
(Mt 8:28-34; Lc 8:26-39)
5 Jesús y sus seguidores llegaron a la otra orilla del lago, a la región de los gerasenos[a]. 2 Apenas salió Jesús de la barca, llegó a recibirlo un hombre que tenía un espíritu maligno. Venía de las tumbas, 3 donde vivía. Ni siquiera con cadenas lo podían sujetar. 4 Varias veces le habían encadenado las manos y le habían puesto hierros en los pies, pero el hombre rompía las cadenas y destrozaba los hierros. Nadie podía controlarlo. 5 Vagaba por las colinas y las cuevas de día y de noche, siempre gritando y cortándose con piedras.
6 Cuando el hombre vio a Jesús a lo lejos, fue a él corriendo, se postró ante él 7 y gritando muy fuerte le dijo:
—¿Qué quieres de mí, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo? En el nombre de Dios, te suplico que no me atormentes.
8 El hombre gritaba así porque Jesús le había dicho: «¡Espíritu maligno, sal de ese hombre!»
9 Después Jesús le preguntó:
—¿Cuál es tu nombre?
Él contestó:
—Mi nombre es Legión[b] porque somos muchos.
10 Le rogaba repetidas veces a Jesús que no lo mandara fuera de esa región. 11 Como en un cerro cerca de allí había muchos cerdos comiendo, 12 los espíritus le suplicaban:
—¡Mándanos a esos cerdos y déjanos entrar en ellos!
13 Jesús les permitió hacerlo, y los espíritus malignos salieron del hombre y entraron en los cerdos, que eran como 2000. Los cerdos corrieron pendiente abajo por el barranco, cayeron en el lago y se ahogaron.
14 Los encargados de cuidar los cerdos salieron huyendo a contar en el pueblo y en el campo lo que había pasado. Entonces vinieron a ver qué había sucedido. 15 Se acercaron a Jesús y vieron al hombre que había tenido los demonios, sentado, vestido y en su sano juicio. La gente se asustó. Sabían que ese hombre había tenido una legión de espíritus malignos. 16 Pero los que vieron lo sucedido les explicaron a los demás cómo había sido sanado el hombre que tenía demonios y lo que había pasado con los cerdos. 17 Entonces la gente comenzó a pedirle a Jesús que se fuera de esa región.
18 Cuando Jesús estaba por partir en la barca, el hombre que había tenido los demonios le rogaba que le permitiera acompañarlo. 19 Pero Jesús no se lo permitió y le dijo:
—Ve a tu casa y cuéntale a tu gente lo que el Señor ha hecho por ti, y cómo te ha tenido compasión.
20 Así que el hombre se fue a la región de Decápolis a contarles a todos lo mucho que Jesús había hecho por él. Toda la gente estaba muy asombrada.
La hija de Jairo y la mujer enferma
(Mt 9:18-26; Lc 8:40-56)
21 Cuando Jesús volvió a la otra orilla del lago en la barca, mucha gente se reunió junto a él a la orilla del lago. 22 Llegó uno de los dirigentes de la sinagoga que se llamaba Jairo. Cuando vio a Jesús, se arrodilló ante él y 23 le rogaba mucho:
—Mi hijita está a punto de morir. Te pido que vengas y coloques tu mano sobre ella para que se mejore y siga con vida.
24 Jesús se fue con él y mucha gente lo siguió. La gente apretujaba a Jesús por todos lados.
25 Había allí una mujer que llevaba doce años sufriendo de flujos de sangre. 26 Había sufrido mucho bajo el cuidado de varios médicos y había gastado todo lo que tenía sin ninguna mejoría. De hecho, cada vez se ponía peor. 27 La mujer oyó hablar de Jesús. Pasó en medio de la gente hasta llegar a Jesús por detrás y le tocó su manto. 28 Ella pensaba: «Si sólo puedo tocar su manto, quedaré sana». 29 Apenas lo tocó, la mujer dejó de sangrar. Sintió que su cuerpo había quedado sanado de la enfermedad. 30 En ese momento Jesús se dio cuenta de que había salido poder de él. Se detuvo, dio vuelta y preguntó:
—¿Quién me tocó el manto?
31 Los seguidores le dijeron:
—Hay tanta gente empujando y tú preguntas: “¿Quién me tocó?”
32 Pero Jesús siguió mirando para saber quién había sido. 33 La mujer sabía que había sanado. Así que se acercó y se arrodilló a sus pies. Ella estaba temblando de miedo y le contó toda la verdad. 34 Luego, Jesús le dijo:
—Hija, tu fe te ha sanado. Vete en paz y sin ninguna enfermedad.
35 Cuando Jesús estaba todavía hablando, llegaron mensajeros desde la casa del dirigente de la sinagoga y le dijeron:
—Tu hija ha muerto, ¿para qué molestas más al maestro?
36 Pero Jesús no les hizo caso y le dijo al dirigente de la sinagoga:
—No tengas miedo; sólo cree.
37 Jesús permitió que sólo Pedro, Santiago y su hermano Juan lo acompañaran. 38 Cuando llegaron a la casa del dirigente de la sinagoga, Jesús vio el alboroto de la gente que estaba llorando y lamentándose mucho. 39 Jesús entró y les dijo:
—¿Por qué tanta confusión y llanto? La niña no está muerta, está dormida.
40 La gente se burlaba de él, pero Jesús los hizo salir a todos y entró sólo con los padres de la niña y con los que lo acompañaban. 41 Jesús tomó la mano de la niña y le dijo:
—Talitá, cum (que significa “óyeme pequeña, ¡levántate!”).
42 Al instante, la niña que tenía doce años, se levantó y empezó a caminar. Todos quedaron completamente atónitos. 43 Jesús dio órdenes estrictas de que no le contaran a nadie lo que había ocurrido. Luego les ordenó que le dieran de comer a la niña.

A Demon-Possessed Man Healed(A)
5 Then (B)they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the [a]Gadarenes. 2 And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an (C)unclean spirit, 3 who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind [b]him, not even with chains, 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. 5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. 7 And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I (D)implore[c] You by God that You do not torment me.”
8 For He said to him, (E)“Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” 9 Then He asked him, “What is your name?”
And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” 10 Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country.
11 Now a large herd of (F)swine was feeding there near the mountains. 12 So all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the swine, that we may enter them.” 13 And [d]at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.
14 So those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had happened. 15 Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been (G)demon-possessed and had the legion, (H)sitting and (I)clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. 16 And those who saw it told them how it happened to him who had been demon-possessed, and about the swine. 17 Then (J)they began to plead with Him to depart from their region.
18 And when He got into the boat, (K)he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him. 19 However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.” 20 And he departed and began to (L)proclaim in [e]Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all (M)marveled.
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed(N)
21 (O)Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. 22 (P)And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet 23 and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and (Q)lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.
25 Now a certain woman (R)had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and (S)touched His garment. 28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”
29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the [f]affliction. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that (T)power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”
31 But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
32 And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. 33 But the woman, (U)fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, (V)your faith has made you well. (W)Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”
35 (X)While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only (Y)believe.” 37 And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38 Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw [g]a tumult and those who (Z)wept and wailed loudly. 39 When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but (AA)sleeping.”
40 And they ridiculed Him. (AB)But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. 41 Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” 42 Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were (AC)overcome with great amazement. 43 But (AD)He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.

Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(A)(B)
5 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.[a] 2 When Jesus got out of the boat,(C) a man with an impure spirit(D) came from the tombs to meet him. 3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. 4 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. 5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. 7 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!” 8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”
9 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.
