Jesus Heals a Man with a Demon

(A)They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes.[a] And when Jesus[b] had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit. (B)He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain, for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones. And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and (C)fell down before him. And (D)crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, (E)Son of (F)the Most High God? (G)I adjure you by God, do not torment me.” For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is (H)Legion, for we are many.” 10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, 12 and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.” 13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea.

14 The herdsmen fled and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened. 15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed[c] man, the one who had had (I)the legion, sitting there, (J)clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 16 And those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and to the pigs. 17 And (K)they began to beg Jesus[d] to depart from their region. 18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him. 19 And he did not permit him but said to him, “Go home to your friends and (L)tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 And he went away and began to proclaim in (M)the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled.

Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus's Daughter

21 And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea. 22 (N)Then came one of (O)the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet 23 and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and (P)lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.” 24 And he went with him.

And a great crowd followed him and (Q)thronged about him. 25 And there was a woman (R)who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” 29 (S)And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her (T)disease. 30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that (U)power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” 31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’ 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling 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 (X)disease.”

35 While he was still speaking, there came from (Y)the ruler's house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why (Z)trouble (AA)the Teacher any further?” 36 But overhearing[e] what they said, Jesus said to (AB)the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” 37 And he allowed no one to follow him except (AC)Peter and James and (AD)John the brother of James. 38 They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus[f] saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 And when he had entered, he said to them, (AE)“Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but (AF)sleeping.” 40 And they laughed at him. But he (AG)put them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. 41 (AH)Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, (AI)arise.” 42 And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. 43 And (AJ)he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.

Jesus Cures a Demon-Possessed Man(A)

They arrived in the territory of the Gerasenes on the other side of the Sea of Galilee. As Jesus stepped out of the boat, a man came out of the tombs and met him. The man was controlled by an evil spirit and lived among the tombs. No one could restrain him any longer, not even with a chain. He had often been chained hand and foot. However, he snapped the chains off his hands and broke the chains from his feet. No one could control him. Night and day he was among the tombs and on the mountainsides screaming and cutting himself with stones.

The man saw Jesus at a distance. So he ran ⌞to Jesus⌟, bowed down in front of him, and shouted, “Why are you bothering me now, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won’t torture me.” He shouted this because Jesus said, “You evil spirit, come out of the man.”

Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”

He told Jesus, “My name is Legion [Six Thousand], because there are many of us.” 10 He begged Jesus not to send them out of the territory.

11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on a mountainside nearby. 12 The demons begged him, “Send us into the pigs! Let us enter them!”

13 Jesus let them do this. The evil spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea and drowned.

14 Those who took care of the pigs ran away. In the city and countryside they reported everything that had happened. So the people came to see what had happened. 15 They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons. The man was sitting there dressed and in his right mind. The people were frightened. 16 Those who saw this told what had happened to the demon-possessed man and the pigs. 17 Then the people began to beg Jesus to leave their territory.

18 As Jesus stepped into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged him, “Let me stay with you.” 19 But Jesus would not allow it. Instead, he told the man, “Go home to your family, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been to you.”

20 So the man left. He began to tell how much Jesus had done for him in the Ten Cities.[a] Everyone was amazed.

Jairus’ Daughter and a Woman with Chronic Bleeding(B)

21 Jesus again crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee in a boat. A large crowd gathered around him by the seashore.

22 A synagogue leader named Jairus also arrived. When he saw Jesus, he quickly bowed down in front of him. 23 He begged Jesus, “My little daughter is dying. Come, lay your hands on her so that she may get well and live.”

24 Jesus went with the man. A huge crowd followed Jesus and pressed him on every side.

25 In the crowd was a woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years. 26 Although she had been under the care of many doctors and had spent all her money, she had not been helped at all. Actually, she had become worse. 27 Since she had heard about Jesus, she came from behind in the crowd and touched his clothes. 28 She said, “If I can just touch his clothes, I’ll get well.” 29 Her bleeding stopped immediately. She felt cured from her illness.

30 At that moment Jesus felt power had gone out of him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

31 His disciples said to him, “How can you ask, ‘Who touched me,’ when you see the crowd pressing you on all sides?”

32 But he kept looking around to see the woman who had done this. 33 The woman trembled with fear. She knew what had happened to her. So she quickly bowed in front of him and told him the whole truth.

34 Jesus told her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace! Be cured from your illness.”

35 While Jesus was still speaking to her, some people came from the synagogue leader’s home. They told the synagogue leader, “Your daughter has died. Why bother the teacher anymore?”

36 When Jesus overheard what they said, he told the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid! Just believe.”

37 Jesus allowed no one to go with him except Peter and the two brothers James and John. 38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a noisy crowd there. People were crying and sobbing loudly. 39 When he came into the house, he asked them, “Why are you making so much noise and crying? The child isn’t dead. She’s just sleeping.”

40 They laughed at him. So he made all of them go outside. Then he took the child’s father, mother, and his three disciples and went to the child. 41 Jesus took the child’s hand and said to her, “Talitha, koum!” which means, “Little girl, I’m telling you to get up!”

42 The girl got up at once and started to walk. (She was twelve years old.) They were astonished.

43 Jesus ordered them not to let anyone know about this. He also told them to give the little girl something to eat.

El endemoniado gadareno

(Mt. 8.28-34; Lc. 8.26-39)

Vinieron al otro lado del mar, a la región de los gadarenos. Y cuando salió él de la barca, en seguida vino a su encuentro, de los sepulcros, un hombre con un espíritu inmundo, que tenía su morada en los sepulcros, y nadie podía atarle, ni aun con cadenas. Porque muchas veces había sido atado con grillos y cadenas, mas las cadenas habían sido hechas pedazos por él, y desmenuzados los grillos; y nadie le podía dominar. Y siempre, de día y de noche, andaba dando voces en los montes y en los sepulcros, e hiriéndose con piedras. Cuando vio, pues, a Jesús de lejos, corrió, y se arrodilló ante él. Y clamando a gran voz, dijo: ¿Qué tienes conmigo, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo? Te conjuro por Dios que no me atormentes. Porque le decía: Sal de este hombre, espíritu inmundo. Y le preguntó: ¿Cómo te llamas? Y respondió diciendo: Legión me llamo; porque somos muchos. 10 Y le rogaba mucho que no los enviase fuera de aquella región. 11 Estaba allí cerca del monte un gran hato de cerdos paciendo. 12 Y le rogaron todos los demonios, diciendo: Envíanos a los cerdos para que entremos en ellos. 13 Y luego Jesús les dio permiso. Y saliendo aquellos espíritus inmundos, entraron en los cerdos, los cuales eran como dos mil; y el hato se precipitó en el mar por un despeñadero, y en el mar se ahogaron.

14 Y los que apacentaban los cerdos huyeron, y dieron aviso en la ciudad y en los campos. Y salieron a ver qué era aquello que había sucedido. 15 Vienen a Jesús, y ven al que había sido atormentado del demonio, y que había tenido la legión, sentado, vestido y en su juicio cabal; y tuvieron miedo. 16 Y les contaron los que lo habían visto, cómo le había acontecido al que había tenido el demonio, y lo de los cerdos. 17 Y comenzaron a rogarle que se fuera de sus contornos. 18 Al entrar él en la barca, el que había estado endemoniado le rogaba que le dejase estar con él. 19 Mas Jesús no se lo permitió, sino que le dijo: Vete a tu casa, a los tuyos, y cuéntales cuán grandes cosas el Señor ha hecho contigo, y cómo ha tenido misericordia de ti. 20 Y se fue, y comenzó a publicar en Decápolis cuán grandes cosas había hecho Jesús con él; y todos se maravillaban.

La hija de Jairo, y la mujer que tocó el manto de Jesús

(Mt. 9.18-26; Lc. 8.40-56)

21 Pasando otra vez Jesús en una barca a la otra orilla, se reunió alrededor de él una gran multitud; y él estaba junto al mar. 22 Y vino uno de los principales de la sinagoga, llamado Jairo; y luego que le vio, se postró a sus pies, 23 y le rogaba mucho, diciendo: Mi hija está agonizando; ven y pon las manos sobre ella para que sea salva, y vivirá.

24 Fue, pues, con él; y le seguía una gran multitud, y le apretaban. 25 Pero una mujer que desde hacía doce años padecía de flujo de sangre, 26 y había sufrido mucho de muchos médicos, y gastado todo lo que tenía, y nada había aprovechado, antes le iba peor, 27 cuando oyó hablar de Jesús, vino por detrás entre la multitud, y tocó su manto. 28 Porque decía: Si tocare tan solamente su manto, seré salva. 29 Y en seguida la fuente de su sangre se secó; y sintió en el cuerpo que estaba sana de aquel azote. 30 Luego Jesús, conociendo en sí mismo el poder que había salido de él, volviéndose a la multitud, dijo: ¿Quién ha tocado mis vestidos? 31 Sus discípulos le dijeron: Ves que la multitud te aprieta, y dices: ¿Quién me ha tocado? 32 Pero él miraba alrededor para ver quién había hecho esto. 33 Entonces la mujer, temiendo y temblando, sabiendo lo que en ella había sido hecho, vino y se postró delante de él, y le dijo toda la verdad. 34 Y él le dijo: Hija, tu fe te ha hecho salva; ve en paz, y queda sana de tu azote.

35 Mientras él aún hablaba, vinieron de casa del principal de la sinagoga, diciendo: Tu hija ha muerto; ¿para qué molestas más al Maestro? 36 Pero Jesús, luego que oyó lo que se decía, dijo al principal de la sinagoga: No temas, cree solamente. 37 Y no permitió que le siguiese nadie sino Pedro, Jacobo, y Juan hermano de Jacobo. 38 Y vino a casa del principal de la sinagoga, y vio el alboroto y a los que lloraban y lamentaban mucho. 39 Y entrando, les dijo: ¿Por qué alborotáis y lloráis? La niña no está muerta, sino duerme. 40 Y se burlaban de él. Mas él, echando fuera a todos, tomó al padre y a la madre de la niña, y a los que estaban con él, y entró donde estaba la niña. 41 Y tomando la mano de la niña, le dijo: Talita cumi; que traducido es: Niña, a ti te digo, levántate. 42 Y luego la niña se levantó y andaba, pues tenía doce años. Y se espantaron grandemente. 43 Pero él les mandó mucho que nadie lo supiese, y dijo que se le diese de comer.

И пришли на другой берег моря, в страну Гадаринскую.

И когда вышел Он из лодки, тотчас встретил Его вышедший из гробов человек, [одержимый] нечистым духом,

он имел жилище в гробах, и никто не мог его связать даже цепями,

потому что многократно был он скован оковами и цепями, но разрывал цепи и разбивал оковы, и никто не в силах был укротить его;

всегда, ночью и днем, в горах и гробах, кричал он и бился о камни;

увидев же Иисуса издалека, прибежал и поклонился Ему,

и, вскричав громким голосом, сказал: что Тебе до меня, Иисус, Сын Бога Всевышнего? заклинаю Тебя Богом, не мучь меня!

Ибо [Иисус] сказал ему: выйди, дух нечистый, из сего человека.

И спросил его: как тебе имя? И он сказал в ответ: легион имя мне, потому что нас много.

10 И много просили Его, чтобы не высылал их вон из страны той.

11 Паслось же там при горе большое стадо свиней.

12 И просили Его все бесы, говоря: пошли нас в свиней, чтобы нам войти в них.

13 Иисус тотчас позволил им. И нечистые духи, выйдя, вошли в свиней; и устремилось стадо с крутизны в море, а их было около двух тысяч; и потонули в море.

14 Пасущие же свиней побежали и рассказали в городе и в деревнях. И [жители] вышли посмотреть, что случилось.

15 Приходят к Иисусу и видят, что бесновавшийся, в котором был легион, сидит и одет, и в здравом уме; и устрашились.

16 Видевшие рассказали им о том, как это произошло с бесноватым, и о свиньях.

17 И начали просить Его, чтобы отошел от пределов их.

18 И когда Он вошел в лодку, бесновавшийся просил Его, чтобы быть с Ним.

19 Но Иисус не дозволил ему, а сказал: иди домой к своим и расскажи им, что сотворил с тобою Господь и [как] помиловал тебя.

20 И пошел и начал проповедывать в Десятиградии, что сотворил с ним Иисус; и все дивились.

21 Когда Иисус опять переправился в лодке на другой берег, собралось к Нему множество народа. Он был у моря.

22 И вот, приходит один из начальников синагоги, по имени Иаир, и, увидев Его, падает к ногам Его

23 и усильно просит Его, говоря: дочь моя при смерти; приди и возложи на нее руки, чтобы она выздоровела и осталась жива.

24 [Иисус] пошел с ним. За Ним следовало множество народа, и теснили Его.

25 Одна женщина, которая страдала кровотечением двенадцать лет,

26 много потерпела от многих врачей, истощила всё, что было у ней, и не получила никакой пользы, но пришла еще в худшее состояние, --

27 услышав об Иисусе, подошла сзади в народе и прикоснулась к одежде Его,

28 ибо говорила: если хотя к одежде Его прикоснусь, то выздоровею.

29 И тотчас иссяк у ней источник крови, и она ощутила в теле, что исцелена от болезни.

30 В то же время Иисус, почувствовав Сам в Себе, что вышла из Него сила, обратился в народе и сказал: кто прикоснулся к Моей одежде?

31 Ученики сказали Ему: Ты видишь, что народ теснит Тебя, и говоришь: кто прикоснулся ко Мне?

32 Но Он смотрел вокруг, чтобы видеть ту, которая сделала это.

33 Женщина в страхе и трепете, зная, что с нею произошло, подошла, пала пред Ним и сказала Ему всю истину.

34 Он же сказал ей: дщерь! вера твоя спасла тебя; иди в мире и будь здорова от болезни твоей.

35 Когда Он еще говорил сие, приходят от начальника синагоги и говорят: дочь твоя умерла; что еще утруждаешь Учителя?

36 Но Иисус, услышав сии слова, тотчас говорит начальнику синагоги: не бойся, только веруй.

37 И не позволил никому следовать за Собою, кроме Петра, Иакова и Иоанна, брата Иакова.

38 Приходит в дом начальника синагоги и видит смятение и плачущих и вопиющих громко.

39 И, войдя, говорит им: что смущаетесь и плачете? девица не умерла, но спит.

40 И смеялись над Ним. Но Он, выслав всех, берет с Собою отца и мать девицы и бывших с Ним и входит туда, где девица лежала.

41 И, взяв девицу за руку, говорит ей: 'талифа куми', что значит: девица, тебе говорю, встань.

42 И девица тотчас встала и начала ходить, ибо была лет двенадцати. [Видевшие] пришли в великое изумление.

43 И Он строго приказал им, чтобы никто об этом не знал, и сказал, чтобы дали ей есть.
