A Man with Evil Spirits
(Matthew 8.28-34; Luke 8.26-39)
5 Jesus and his disciples crossed Lake Galilee and came to shore near the town of Gerasa.[a] 2 When he was getting out of the boat, a man with an evil spirit quickly ran to him 3 from the graveyard[b] where he had been living. No one was able to tie the man up anymore, not even with a chain. 4 He had often been put in chains and leg irons, but he broke the chains and smashed the leg irons. No one could control him. 5 Night and day he was in the graveyard or on the hills, yelling and cutting himself with stones.
6 When the man saw Jesus in the distance, he ran up to him and knelt down. 7 He shouted, “Jesus, Son of God in heaven, what do you want with me? Promise me in God's name that you won't torture me!” 8 The man said this because Jesus had already told the evil spirit to come out of him.
9 Jesus asked, “What is your name?”
The man answered, “My name is Lots, because I have ‘lots’ of evil spirits.” 10 He then begged Jesus not to send them away.
11 Over on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. 12 So the evil spirits begged Jesus, “Send us into those pigs! Let us go into them.” 13 Jesus let them go, and they went out of the man and into the pigs. The whole herd of about 2,000 pigs rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
14 The men taking care of the pigs ran to the town and the farms to spread the news. Then the people came out to see what had happened. 15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had once been full of demons. He was sitting there with his clothes on and in his right mind, and they were terrified.
16 Everyone who had seen what had happened told about the man and the pigs. 17 Then the people started begging Jesus to leave their part of the country.
18 When Jesus was getting into the boat, the man begged to go with him. 19 But Jesus would not let him. Instead, he said, “Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how good he has been to you.”
20 The man went away into the region near the ten cities known as Decapolis[c] and began telling everyone how much Jesus had done for him. Everyone who heard what had happened was amazed.
A Dying Girl and a Sick Woman
(Matthew 9.18-26; Luke 8.40-56)
21 Once again Jesus got into the boat and crossed Lake Galilee.[d] Then as he stood on the shore, a large crowd gathered around him. 22 The person in charge of the synagogue was also there. His name was Jairus, and when he saw Jesus, he went over to him. He knelt at Jesus' feet 23 and started begging him for help. He said, “My little daughter is about to die! Please come and touch her, so she will get well and live.” 24 Jesus went with Jairus. Many people followed along and kept crowding around.
25 In the crowd was a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. 26 (A) She had gone to many doctors, and they had not done anything except cause her a lot of pain. She had paid them all the money she had. But instead of getting better, she only got worse.
27 The woman had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him in the crowd and barely touched his clothes. 28 She had said to herself, “If I can just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 29 As soon as she touched them, her bleeding stopped, and she knew she was healed.
30 At that moment Jesus felt power go out from him. He turned to the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 His disciples said to him, “Look at all these people crowding around you! How can you ask who touched you?” 32 But Jesus turned to see who had touched him.
33 The woman knew what had happened to her. So she came trembling with fear and knelt down in front of Jesus. Then she told him the whole story.
34 Jesus said to the woman, “You are now well because of your faith. May God give you peace! You are healed, and you will no longer be in pain.”
35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from Jairus' home and said, “Your daughter has died! Why bother the teacher anymore?”
36 Jesus heard[e] what they said, and he said to Jairus, “Don't worry. Just have faith!”
37 Jesus did not let anyone go with him except Peter and the two brothers, James and John. 38 They went home with Jairus and saw the people crying and making a lot of noise.[f] 39 Then Jesus went inside and said to them, “Why are you crying and carrying on like this? The child isn't dead. She is just asleep.” 40 But the people laughed at him.
After Jesus had sent them all out of the house, he took the girl's father and mother and his three disciples and went to where she was. 41-42 He took the twelve-year-old girl by the hand and said, “Talitha, koum!”[g] which means, “Little girl, get up!” The girl got right up and started walking around.
Everyone was greatly surprised. 43 But Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened. Then he said, “Give her something to eat.”

在格拉森驱赶污灵
5 他们来到湖[a]的对岸，进了格拉森[b]人的地方。 2 耶稣刚下船，就有一个被污灵附身的人，从墓地迎着他来。 3 这个人住在墓地里，没有人能捆住他，就是用铁链也不行。 4 他经常被脚镣和铁链捆起来，然而他总是挣断铁链、打碎脚镣。没有人能制伏他。 5 不管黑夜白昼，他常常在墓地和山上喊叫，又用石头砍自己。
6 他远远地看见耶稣，就跑过去，向他下拜， 7 大声喊叫说：“至高神的儿子耶稣，我与你有什么关系？我藉着神恳求你，不要折磨我！” 8 这是因为耶稣对他说：“你出来，污灵！离开这个人！”
9 耶稣问他：“你叫什么名字？”
他回答说：“我名叫‘军团’，因为我们众多。” 10 他一再央求耶稣不要把它们赶出那个地方。
11 当时，那里有一大群猪正在附近的山上吃食。 12 那些污灵[c]就央求耶稣，说：“求你打发我们到猪群里，好让我们进入猪里面去吧！” 13 耶稣[d]准许了它们，污灵就出来，进入猪里面。那群猪约有两千头，它们从山崖冲到湖里，在湖里淹死了。 14 那些放猪的人就逃跑了，去把这事传到城里城外。于是人们就来[e]看发生了什么事。 15 他们来到耶稣那里，看见那曾经有鬼魔附身的，就是被‘军团’所附的那个人，穿着衣服，神志清醒地坐着，他们就惧怕起来。 16 那些看见的人，把发生在有鬼魔附身的人身上和有关猪群的事，都告诉了大家。 17 他们就开始央求耶稣离开他们的地区。
18 耶稣上船的时候，那曾被鬼魔附身的人恳求他，要与他在一起。 19 耶稣没有答应，却对他说：“你回家去吧，到你的亲友那里，告诉他们主为你做了什么，以及他怎样怜悯你。” 20 于是那个人离开了，开始在德卡波利斯地区传扬耶稣为他做了什么样的事。众人都感到惊奇。
少女复活、妇人痊愈
21 耶稣又上船渡到对岸。有一大群人聚集到他那里，他就留在湖边。 22 这时候，来了一个名叫睚鲁的会堂主管。他一见到耶稣，就俯伏在耶稣脚前， 23 迫切地恳求他，说：“我的小女儿快要死了。求你来按手在她身上，好让她得救治，能活下去。”
24 耶稣就与他一起去，有一大群人跟随耶稣，并拥挤他。 25 有一个妇人，患了十二年的血漏病。 26 她在许多医生手里受了很多苦，花尽了她所有的一切，没有任何效果，反而倒变得更严重了。 27 她听说了耶稣的事，就夹在人群中，从后面摸了一下耶稣的衣服， 28 原来她想：“只要我摸到他的衣服，就会得救治。” 29 立刻，她的血漏就止住了，她也感觉到身体从病痛中痊愈了。
30 耶稣自己里面立刻知道有能力从他而出，就在人群中转过身来，问：“谁摸了我的衣服？”
31 他的门徒们对他说：“你看这群人拥挤着你，你还问‘谁摸了我’吗？”
32 可是耶稣环视周围，要知道是谁做了这事。 33 那妇人知道发生在自己身上的事，就惧怕起来，战战兢兢地上前俯伏在耶稣面前，把真实情况全告诉了他。 34 耶稣对她说：“女儿，你的信救了你，平平安安地去吧。你从病痛中痊愈了吧！”
35 耶稣还在说话的时候，有些人从会堂主管的家里来，对睚鲁[f]说：“你的女儿已经死了，何必再麻烦老师呢？”
36 耶稣却当做没听见他们所说的话，对会堂主管说[g]：“不要怕，只要信！” 37 然后他除了彼得、雅各和雅各的弟弟[h]约翰以外，不准别的人跟着。 38 他们来到会堂主管的家里，耶稣看见一片混乱，有人哭泣，有人哀号。 39 耶稣进去对他们说：“为什么慌乱哭泣呢？孩子不是死了，而是睡了。”
40 他们就讥笑耶稣。耶稣把他们都赶出去，只带着孩子的父母和一起来的人，进入孩子所在的地方[i]。 41 他握着孩子的手，对她说：“塔利达，库莫！[j]”——这翻译出来就是“小女孩，我吩咐你起来！” 42 那女孩随即起来，开始走动。她那时十二岁。大家立刻目瞪口呆，大为惊讶。 43 耶稣郑重地吩咐他们，不要让任何人知道这事，又吩咐给孩子吃东西。

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.
