Mark 5
Lexham English Bible
A Demon-possessed Gerasene Healed
5 And they came to the other side of the sea,[a] to the region of the Gerasenes.[b] 2 And as[c] he was getting out of the boat, immediately from the tombs a man with an unclean spirit went to meet him, 3 who lived[d] among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him any longer, not even with a chain, 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the shackles had been shattered. And no one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 And during every night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6 And when he[e] saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and knelt down before him. 7 And crying out with a loud voice he said, “What have I to do with you[f], Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore you by God, do not torment me!” 8 (For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”) 9 And he was asking him “What is your name?”[g] And he said to him, “My name is Legion, because we are many.” 10 And he was imploring him many times that he would not send them out of the region. 11 Now a large herd of pigs was there at the hill feeding, 12 and they implored him, saying, “Send us to the pigs so that we may enter into them.” 13 And he permitted them. And the unclean spirits came out and[h] entered into the pigs, and the herd—about two thousand—rushed headlong down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea. 14 And their herdsmen fled and reported it[i] in the town and in the countryside, and they came to see what it was that had happened. 15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man sitting there clothed and in his right mind—the one who had had the legion—and they were afraid. 16 And those who had seen it[j] described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man, and about the pigs. 17 And they began to urge him to depart from their region. 18 And as[k] he was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed began to implore[l] him that he could go with him. 19 And he did not permit him, but said to him, “Go to your home to your people and tell them all that the Lord has done for you, and that he has had mercy on you.” 20 And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him, and they were all astonished.
A Woman Healed and a Daughter Raised
21 And after[m] Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered to him, and he was beside the sea. 22 And one of the rulers of the synagogue came—Jairus by name—and when he[n] saw him, he fell down at his feet. 23 And he was imploring him many times, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death![o] Come, lay your[p] hands on her, so that she will get well and will live.” 24 And he went with him, and a large crowd was following him and pressing around him.
25 And there was a woman who was suffering from hemorrhages[q] twelve years. 26 And she had endured many things under many physicians, and had spent all that she had[r] and had received no help at all, but instead became worse.[s] 27 When she[t] heard about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind him and[u] touched his cloak, 28 for she was saying, “If I touch just his clothing, I will be healed!” 29 And immediately her hemorrhage stopped[v] and she realized in her[w] body that she was healed of her[x] suffering. 30 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from himself, turned around in the crowd and[y] said, “Who touched my clothing?” 31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing upon you, and you say ‘Who touched me?’” 32 And he was looking around to see the one who had done this. 33 So the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. 34 But he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be well from your suffering.”
35 While[z] he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler’s house[aa] saying, “Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher further?” 36 But Jesus, ignoring[ab] what was said,[ac] told the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid—only believe!” 37 And he did not allow anyone to follow along with him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James. 38 And they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue and saw a commotion, and people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 And when he[ad] entered, he said to them, “Why are you agitated and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping.” 40 And they began laughing[ae] at him. But he sent them all out and[af] took along the father and mother of the child, and those who were with him, and went in to where the child was. 41 And taking hold of the child’s hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”), 42 and immediately the girl stood up and began walking around[ag] (for she was twelve years old). And immediately they were utterly and completely astonished.[ah] 43 And he commanded them strictly that no one should learn of this, and said to give her something[ai] to eat.

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.
