A Demon-Possessed Man Healed(A)

Then (B)they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the [a]Gadarenes. And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an (C)unclean spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind [b]him, not even with chains, 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. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.

When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. 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.”

For He said to him, (E)“Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” 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.

治好格拉森污靈附身的人(A)

他們渡到海的對岸,到格拉森[a]的地區。 耶穌一下船,就有一個污靈附身的人從墳墓迎着他走來。 那人常住在墳墓裏,沒有人能捆住他,就是用鐵鏈也不能; 因為人屢次用腳鐐和鐵鏈捆鎖他,鐵鏈被他掙斷,腳鐐也被他弄碎了,總沒有人能制伏他。 他晝夜常在墳墓裏和山中喊叫,又用石頭打自己。 他遠遠看見耶穌,就跑過來拜他, 大聲呼叫說:「至高 神的兒子耶穌,你為甚麼干擾我?我指着 神懇求你,不要叫我受苦!」 這是因耶穌曾吩咐他說:「污靈啊,從這人身上出來!」 耶穌問他:「你叫甚麼名字?」他說:「我名叫,因為我們數目眾多。」 10 他就再三求耶穌不要叫他們離開那地方。

11 在山坡那裏,有一大羣豬正在吃食; 12 污靈就央求耶穌,說:「求你打發我們進入豬羣,好附着牠們。」 13 耶穌准了他們,污靈就出來,進入豬裏,那羣豬就闖下山崖,投進海裏,淹死了。豬的數目約有二千。 14 放豬的逃跑了,去告訴城裏和鄉下的人。眾人就來,要看發生了甚麼事。 15 他們來到耶穌那裏,看見那被鬼附的人,就是曾被羣鬼所附的,坐着,穿着衣服,神智清醒,他們就害怕。 16 看見這事的人把被鬼附的人所遇見的,和那羣豬的事,都告訴了眾人, 17 眾人就央求耶穌離開他們的地區。 18 耶穌上船的時候,那曾被鬼附的人懇求要和耶穌在一起。 19 耶穌不許,卻對他說:「你回家去,到你的親友那裏,將主為你所做多麼大的事和他怎樣憐憫你,都告訴他們。」 20 那人就走了,開始在低加坡里傳揚耶穌為他做了多麼大的事,眾人就都驚訝。

葉魯的女兒和經血不止的女人(B)

21 耶穌又坐船[b]渡到對岸,有一大羣人聚集到他身邊;他正在海邊。 22 有一個會堂主管,名叫葉魯,也來了,一見到耶穌,就俯伏在他腳前, 23 再三求他,說:「我的小女兒快要死了,求你去為她按手,使她痊癒,可以活下去。」 24 耶穌就和他同去。

有一大羣人跟隨他,擁擠着他。 25 有一個女人,患了經血不止的病有十二年, 26 在好多醫生手裏受了許多苦,又花盡了她所有的,一點也不見好,反而更重了。 27 她聽見耶穌的事,就夾在眾人中間,從後面來摸耶穌的衣裳, 28 因她想:「我只摸到他的衣裳,就會痊癒。」 29 於是她的流血立刻止住,她覺得身上的疾病好了。 30 耶穌頓時心裏覺得有能力從自己身上出去,就在眾人中間轉過來,說:「誰摸我的衣裳?」 31 門徒對他說:「你看眾人擁擠着你,還說『誰摸我』呢?」 32 耶穌周圍觀看,要見做這事的女人。 33 那女人知道在自己身上所成的事,就恐懼戰兢,來俯伏在耶穌跟前,將實情全告訴他。 34 耶穌對她說:「女兒,你的信救了你,平安地回去吧!你的疾病痊癒了。」

35 耶穌還在說話的時候,有人從會堂主管的家裏來,說:「你的女兒死了,何必還勞駕老師呢?」 36 耶穌不理會他們所說的話,就對會堂主管說:「不要怕,只要信!」 37 於是他帶着彼得雅各雅各的弟弟約翰同去,不許別人跟着他。 38 他們來到會堂主管的家裏,耶穌看到一片吵鬧,並有人大聲哭泣哀號, 39 就進到裏面,對他們說:「為甚麼大吵大哭呢?孩子不是死了,是睡着了。」 40 他們就嘲笑耶穌。耶穌把他們都趕出去,帶着孩子的父母和跟隨的人進了孩子所在的地方, 41 就拉着孩子的手,對她說:「大利大,古米!」翻出來就是說:「女孩,我吩咐你,起來!」 42 那女孩子立刻起來走動—她已經十二歲了;他們就非常驚奇。 43 耶穌切切地囑咐他們,不要讓人知道這事,又吩咐給她東西吃。

And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.

22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

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

33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
