Mark 5
New King James Version
A Demon-Possessed Man Healed(A)
5 Then (B)they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the [a]Gadarenes. 2 And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an (C)unclean spirit, 3 who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind [b]him, not even with chains, 4 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. 5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. 7 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.”
8 For He said to him, (E)“Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” 9 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.

Jesus Heals a Man with a Demon
5 (A)They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes.[a] 2 And when Jesus[b] had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit. 3 (B)He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain, 4 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. 5 Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and (C)fell down before him. 7 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.” 8 For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” 9 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.
Markus 5
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
5 Og de kom over på hin side av sjøen, til gerasenernes bygd.
2 Og da han var gått ut av båten, kom det straks mot ham ut av gravene en mann som var besatt av en uren ånd.
3 Han hadde sitt tilhold der i gravene, og de kunde ikke lenger binde ham, ikke engang med lenker;
4 for han hadde ofte vært bundet med fot-jern og lenker, og lenkene hadde han revet av sig, og fot-jernene hadde han sønderslitt, og ingen kunde rå med ham,
5 og han var alltid, natt og dag, i gravene og på fjellene og skrek og slo sig selv med stener.
6 Og da han så Jesus langt borte, løp han til og falt ned for ham,
7 og ropte med høi røst: Hvad har jeg med dig å gjøre, Jesus, du den høieste Guds Sønn? Jeg besverger dig ved Gud at du ikke må pine mig!
8 For han sa til ham: Far ut av mannen, du urene ånd!
9 Og han spurte ham: Hvad er ditt navn? Og han sa til ham: Legion er mitt navn; for vi er mange.
10 Og han bad ham meget at han ikke måtte drive dem ut av bygden.
11 Men det gikk en stor svinehjord og beitet der ved fjellet,
12 Og de bad ham: Send oss inn i svinene, så vi kan fare i dem!
13 Og han gav dem lov til det. Og de urene ånder fór ut og fór i svinene; og hjorden styrtet sig ut over stupet ned i sjøen, omkring to tusen i tallet, og druknet i sjøen.
14 Og de som gjætte dem, tok flukten, og fortalte det i byen og i bygden. Og folk kom ut for å se hvad som hadde hendt.
15 Og de kom til Jesus og så den besatte sitte påklædd og ved sans og samling, han som hadde vært besatt av legionen, og de blev forferdet.
16 Og de som hadde sett det, fortalte dem hvorledes det var gått med den besatte, og om svinene.
17 Og de begynte å be ham at han vilde dra bort fra deres landemerker.
18 Og da han gikk i båten, bad den besatte om å få være med ham.
19 Og han gav ham ikke lov, men sa til ham: Gå hjem til dine og fortell dem hvor store ting Herren har gjort imot dig, og at han har miskunnet sig over dig!
20 Og han gikk bort og begynte å kunngjøre i Dekapolis hvor store ting Jesus hadde gjort imot ham; og alle undret sig.
21 Og da Jesus var faret over med båten til hin side igjen, samlet meget folk sig om ham; og han var ved sjøen.
22 Og det kom en av synagoge-forstanderne ved navn Jairus; og da han så ham, falt han ned for hans føtter,
23 og han bad ham meget og sa: Min datter ligger på det siste; kom og legg dine hender på henne, så hun må bli frelst og leve!
24 Og han gikk bort med ham, og meget folk fulgte ham, og de trengte ham.
25 Og der var en kvinne som hadde hatt blodsott i tolv år;
26 og hun hadde lidt meget av mange læger og satt til alt det hun eide, og hadde ikke hatt nogen hjelp av det, men var heller blitt verre;
27 da hun hadde hørt ryktet om Jesus, kom hun midt iblandt folket og rørte bakfra ved hans klædebon.
28 For hun sa: Kan jeg få røre, om det så bare er ved hans klær, så blir jeg helbredet.
29 Og straks uttørkedes hennes blods kilde, og hun kjente i sitt legeme at hun var helbredet for sin plage.
30 Og Jesus kjente straks hos sig selv den kraft som gikk ut fra ham, og han vendte sig om i hopen og sa: Hvem var det som rørte ved mine klær?
31 Og hans disipler sa til ham: Du ser at folket trenger dig på alle kanter, og du sier: Hvem var det som rørte ved mig?
32 Og han så sig om for å få øie på henne som hadde gjort dette.
33 Men kvinnen kom redd og skjelvende, for hun visste hvad som var skjedd med henne, og hun falt ned for ham og sa ham hele sannheten.
34 Da sa han til henne: Datter! din tro har frelst dig; gå bort i fred, og vær helbredet for din plage!
35 Mens han ennu talte, kom det folk fra synagoge-forstanderen og sa: Din datter er død; hvorfor umaker du mesteren lenger?
36 Men Jesus hørte det ord som blev sagt, og sa til synagoge-forstanderen: Frykt ikke, bare tro!
37 Og han lot ingen følge med sig uten Peter og Jakob og Johannes, Jakobs bror.
38 Og de kom til synagoge-forstanderens hus, og han så en larmende hop og folk i stor gråt og jammer,
39 og han gikk inn og sa til dem: Hvorfor larmer og gråter I? Barnet er ikke død; hun sover.
40 Og de lo ham ut. Men han driver alle ut, og tar med sig barnets far og mor og dem som var med ham, og går inn der hvor barnet var.
41 Og han tar barnet ved hånden og sier til henne: Talita kumi; det er utlagt: Pike! jeg sier dig: Stå op!
42 Og straks stod piken op og gikk omkring; for hun var tolv år gammel. Og de blev storlig forferdet.
43 Og han bød dem strengt at ikke nogen skulde få dette å vite; og han sa at de skulde gi henne noget å ete.
