Mark 5

Wycliffe Bible

5 And they came over the sea into the country of Gadarenes.

² And after that he was gone out of the boat, at once [anon] a man in an unclean spirit ran out of the burials to him.

³ Which man had an house in burials^[a], and neither with chains now might any man bind him.

⁴ For oft times [For oft] he was bound in stocks and chains, and he had broken the chains, and had broken the stocks to small gobbets, and no man might make him tame^[b].

⁵ And evermore [And ever], night and day, in burials and in hills, he was crying and beating himself with stones.

⁶ And he saw Jesus afar, and ran, and worshipped him.

⁷ And he cried with great voice, and said, What to me and to thee, thou Jesus, the Son of the highest God? I conjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

⁸ And Jesus said to him, Thou unclean spirit, go out from the man.

⁹ And Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he saith to him, A legion is my name; for we be many.

¹⁰ And he prayed Jesus much, that he should not put them out of the country. [And he prayed him much, that he should not cast him out of the country.]

¹¹ And there was there about the hill a great flock of swine pasturing [a great drove of hogs pasturing].

¹² And the spirits prayed Jesus, and said [And the spirits prayed him, saying], Send us into the swine, that we enter into them.

¹³ And at once [And anon] Jesus granted to them. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine, and with a great rush the flock was cast down into the sea, a two thousand, and they were drowned in the sea^[c].

¹⁴ And they that kept them, fled [Soothly they that fed them, fled], and told into the city, and into the fields; and they went out, to see what was done.

¹⁵ And they came to Jesus, and saw him that had been travailed of the fiend [And they came to Jesus, and they see him that was travailed of the fiend], sitting clothed, and of whole mind; and they dreaded.

¹⁶ And they that saw, how it was done to him that had a fiend, and of the swine, told to them. [And they told to them, that saw, how it was done to him that had a fiend, and of the swine.]

¹⁷ And they began to pray him, that he should go away from their coasts.^[d]

¹⁸ And when he went up into a boat, he that was travailed of the devil, began to pray him, that he should be with him.

¹⁹ But Jesus received him not, but said to him [but saith to him], Go thou into thine house to thine, and tell to them, how great things the Lord hath done to thee, and had mercy of thee.

²⁰ And he went forth, and began to preach in Decapolis, how great things Jesus had done to him; and all men wondered.

²¹ And when Jesus had gone up into the boat again over the sea, much people came together to him, and was about the sea.

²² And one of the princes of [the] synagogues, by name Jairus, came, and saw him, and he fell down at his feet,

²³ and prayed him much, and said, My daughter is nigh dead [and prayed him much saying, For my daughter is in the last things]; come thou, put thine hand on her, that she be safe, and live.

²⁴ And he went forth with him, and much people followed him, and thrusted him. [And Jesus went forth with him, and much company of people followed him, and oppressed him.]

²⁵ And a woman that had been in the bloody flux twelve years, [And a woman that was in the flux of blood twelve years,]

²⁶ and had received many things of full many physicians, and had spended all her good, and was nothing amended [and had suffered many things of full many leeches, and spended all her things, and nothing profited], but was rather the worse,

²⁷ when she had heard of Jesus, she came among the people behind, and touched his cloak. [when she had heard of Jesus, she came in the company behind, and touched his cloth.]

²⁸ For she said, That if I [shall] touch yea his cloak [Soothly she said, For if I shall touch yea his cloth], I shall be safe.

²⁹ And at once [And anon] the well of her blood was dried up, and she feeled in her body that she was healed of the sickness [and she feeled in the body that she was healed of the sickness].

³⁰ And at once Jesus knew in himself the virtue that was gone out of him, and he turned to the people, and said [And anon Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had gone out of him, he, turned to the company, saith], Who touched my clothes?

³¹ And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the people thrusting thee [Thou seest the company pressing thee], and sayest [thou], Who touched me?

³² And Jesus looked about to see her that had done this thing.

³³ And the woman dreaded, and quaked, witting that it was done in her, and came, and felled down before him [Forsooth the woman dreading and trembling, witting that it was done in her, came, and fell down before him], and said to him all the truth.

³⁴ And Jesus said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee safe; go in peace, and be thou whole of thy sickness.

³⁵ Yet while he spake, messengers came to the prince of the synagogue, and say [saying], Thy daughter is dead; what travailest thou the master further?

³⁶ But when the word was heard that was said, Jesus said to the prince of the synagogue [Jesus saith to the prince of the synagogue], Do not thou dread, only believe thou.

³⁷ And he took no man to follow him [And he received not any man to follow him], but Peter, and James, and John, the brother of James.

³⁸ And they came into the house of the prince of the synagogue. And he saw noise, and men weeping and wailing much.

³⁹ And he went in, and said to them [And he gone in, saith to them], What be ye troubled, and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

⁴⁰ And they scorned him. But when all were put out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and they entered [and they enter in], where the damsel lay.

⁴¹ And he held the hand of the damsel, and said to her, Talitha, cumi, that is to say [that is interpreted], Damsel, I say to thee, arise.

⁴² And at once [And anon] the damsel rose, and walked; and she was of twelve years. And they were abashed with a great astonishing.

⁴³ And he commanded to them greatly, that no man should know it. And he commanded to give to her meat [And he commanded to give to her for to eat].
