Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Ketongin(A)

Pagbaba ni Jesus mula sa bundok ay sumunod sa kanya ang napakaraming tao. Lumapit sa kanya ang isang ketongin at lumuhod sa harapan niya, nakikiusap, “Panginoon, maaari mo po akong gawing malinis, kung nanaisin mo.” Iniunat ni Jesus ang kanyang kamay at hinawakan ang lalaki. Sinabi niya rito, “Nais ko. Maging malinis ka.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Tiyakin mong hindi mo ito sasabihin kaninuman, sa halip ay pumunta ka at humarap sa pari. Mag-alay ka ng handog na ipinag-utos ni Moises bilang katibayan sa kanila.”

Pinagaling ang Alipin ng Senturyon(B)

Nang pumasok si Jesus sa Capernaum, lumapit sa kanya ang isang senturyon. Nakiusap ito sa kanya, na nagsasabi, “Panginoon, ang aking lingkod ay nakaratay sa bahay, paralisado at hirap na hirap sa kanyang karamdaman.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Pupunta ako roon at pagagalingin ko siya.” Ngunit sumagot ang senturyon, “Panginoon, hindi po ako karapat-dapat na papuntahin kayo sa ilalim ng aking bubungan. Sapat na pong bumigkas kayo ng salita at gagaling na ang aking lingkod. Ako man ay isang taong nasa ilalim ng kapangyarihan ng iba, at may nasasakupang mga kawal. Sinasabi ko sa isa, ‘Humayo ka,’ at humahayo nga siya. Sinasabi ko naman sa iba, ‘Lumapit ka,’ at lumalapit nga siya. Sa aking utusan, ‘Gawin mo ito,’ at ginagawa nga niya.” 10 Nang marinig ito ni Jesus, namangha siya at sinabi niya sa mga sumunod sa kanya, “Totoong sinasabi ko sa inyo, kaninuman sa Israel ay hindi ko nakita ang ganito kalaking pananampalataya. 11 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, maraming manggagaling sa silangan at kanluran at makakasalo sa hapag-kainan nina Abraham, Isaac, at Jacob sa kaharian ng langit, 12 subalit ang mga anak ng kaharian ay itatapon sa kadilimang nasa labas. Naroon ang pagtangis at pagngangalit ng mga ngipin.” 13 Sinabi ni Jesus sa senturyon, “Umuwi ka na. Mangyayari para sa iyo ang iyong sinasampalatayanan.” Nang oras ding iyon ay gumaling ang naturang lingkod.

Maraming Pinagaling si Jesus(C)

14 Nang pumasok si Jesus sa bahay ni Pedro, nakita niya ang biyenang babae nito na nakahiga dahil may lagnat. 15 Hinawakan niya ang kamay ng babae at nawala ang lagnat nito. Bumangon siya at pinaglingkuran si Jesus. 16 Kinagabihan ay dinala nila sa kanya ang maraming taong sinasaniban ng mga demonyo. Sa pamamagitan ng salita ay pinalayas niya ang mga espiritu at pinagaling ang lahat ng mga maysakit. 17 Nangyari ito upang matupad ang sinabi sa pamamagitan ni Propeta Isaias: “Kinuha niya ang ating mga karamdaman, at ang mga sakit natin ay kanyang pinasan.”

Ang Pagsunod kay Jesus(D)

18 Nang makita ni Jesus ang napakaraming tao sa paligid niya, kanyang ipinag-utos na sila'y tumawid sa ibayo. 19 Lumapit sa kanya ang isang tagapagturo ng Kautusan at sinabi sa kanya, “Guro, susundan ko po kayo, saan man kayo magpunta.” 20 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Ang mga asong-gubat ay may lungga, at ang mga ibon sa himpapawid ay may mga pugad, subalit ang Anak ng Tao ay walang sariling matutulugan.” 21 Sinabi sa kanya ng isa pang alagad, “Panginoon, payagan po muna ninyo akong umuwi at mailibing ko ang aking ama.” 22 Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Sumunod ka sa akin. Hayaan mo na ang mga patay ang maglibing sa kanilang mga patay.”

Pinatigil ni Jesus ang Bagyo(E)

23 Nang makasakay si Jesus sa bangka, sinundan siya ng kanyang mga alagad. 24 At biglang nagkaroon ng malakas na unos sa dagat, at halos matabunan na ng mga alon ang bangka. Subalit natutulog noon si Jesus. 25 Siya'y kanilang pinuntahan at ginising, na sinasabi, “Panginoon, iligtas mo kami! Mamamatay kami rito!” 26 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Ano'ng ikinatatakot ninyo? Kayong mahihina ang pananampalataya!” Bumangon siya at pinagsabihan ang mga hangin at ang dagat. At nagkaroon ng ganap na katahimikan. 27 Kaya't namangha ang mga tao at sinabi nila, “Anong uri ng tao ito? Kahit ang hangin at ang dagat ay sumusunod sa kanya?”

Pinagaling ang mga Gadarenong Inaalihan ng mga Demonyo(F)

28 Pagdating niya sa kabilang pampang, sa lupain ng mga Gadareno, sinalubong siya ng dalawang lalaking sinasaniban ng demonyo. Nanggaling ang mga lalaking ito sa mga libingan at sila'y mababangis kaya't walang taong makadaan doon. 29 Bigla silang sumigaw, “Ano'ng kailangan mo sa amin, Anak ng Diyos? Pumarito ka ba upang parusahan na kami bago pa sumapit ang takdang panahon?” 30 Noon ay may isang malaking kawan ng baboy na nanginginain sa di kalayuan mula sa kanila. 31 Nakiusap kay Jesus ang mga demonyo. Sinabi nila, “Kung palalabasin mo kami, papuntahin mo na lang kami sa kawan ng mga baboy.” 32 At sinabi niya sa kanila, “Pumunta kayo roon.” Nagsilabas nga sila at pumasok sa mga baboy, at ang buong kawan ay rumagasang patungong bangin, nahulog sa dagat at nalunod. 33 Nagtakbuhan ang mga tagapag-alaga ng mga hayop at sila'y pumasok sa lungsod. Doon ay ibinalita nila ang buong pangyayari, lalung-lalo na ang nangyari sa mga taong sinaniban ng mga demonyo. 34 Lumabas ang lahat ng mga taong-bayan upang salubungin si Jesus. Pagkakita sa kanya, sila'y nakiusap sa kanya na lisanin ang kanilang lupain.

Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(A)

When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. A man with leprosy[a](B) came and knelt before him(C) and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone.(D) But go, show yourself to the priest(E) and offer the gift Moses commanded,(F) as a testimony to them.”

The Faith of the Centurion(G)

When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed,(H) suffering terribly.”

Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”

The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.(I) For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.(J) 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west,(K) and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.(L) 12 But the subjects of the kingdom(M) will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”(N)

13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.”(O) And his servant was healed at that moment.

Jesus Heals Many(P)

14 When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. 15 He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.

16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.(Q) 17 This was to fulfill(R) what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

“He took up our infirmities
    and bore our diseases.”[b](S)

The Cost of Following Jesus(T)

18 When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake.(U) 19 Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man(V) has no place to lay his head.”

21 Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me,(W) and let the dead bury their own dead.”

Jesus Calms the Storm(X)(Y)

23 Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24 Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”

26 He replied, “You of little faith,(Z) why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.(AA)

27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”

Jesus Restores Two Demon-Possessed Men(AB)

28 When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes,[c] two demon-possessed(AC) men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 29 “What do you want with us,(AD) Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”(AE)

30 Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. 31 The demons begged Jesus, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

32 He said to them, “Go!” So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. 33 Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.(AF)

Giayo ni Jesus Ang Sanglahon

(Mar. 1:40-45; Luc. 5:12-16)

Pagkahuman ni Jesus ug panudlo didto sa bukid, milugsong siya ug daghan ang mga tawo nga misunod kaniya. Unya, may usa ka tawo nga may ngilngig nga sakit sa panit[a] nga miduol kaniya ug miluhod. Miingon siya, “Ginoo, kon buot ka, mahimo mo akong ayohon sa akong sangla aron maisip ako nga hinlo.” Unya gihikap siya ni Jesus ug giingnan, “Oo, buot ako. Mahinlo ka!” Ug diha-diha naayo siya sa iyang sangla. Ug miingon si Jesus kaniya, “Ayaw gayod pagsulti kang bisan kinsa bahin niini, diretso hinuon sa pari ug pagpatan-aw kaniya.[b] Unya paghalad sa halad nga gisugo ni Moises sa pagpamatuod ngadto sa mga tawo nga hinlo ka na.”

Giayo ni Jesus ang Sulugoon sa Kapitan

(Luc. 7:1-10)

Unya, sa pagsulod ni Jesus sa lungsod sa Capernaum, gisugat siya sa usa ka kapitan sa mga sundalong Romanhon. Nagpakilooy kini nga nagaingon, “Ginoo, ang akong sulugoon nagsakit didto sa balay. Dili na siya makalihok ug labihan gayod ang iyang pag-antos.” Miingon si Jesus kaniya, “Sige, adtoon ko siya ug ayohon.” Apan mitubag ang kapitan, “Ginoo, dili ako takos nga magpasulod kanimo sa akong balay. Isulti lang ug mamaayo ang akong sulugoon. Nasayod ako niini tungod kay ako ubos man sa pagmando sa mga opisyal, ug may mga sundalo usab nga ubos sa akong pagmando. Busa kon momando ako ngadto sa usa, ‘lakaw,’ molakaw siya, ug kon momando ako ngadto sa usa, ‘anhi dinhi,’ moanhi siya. Ug kon unsa ang akong isugo sa akong ulipon, himuon niya.” 10 Pagka-dungog niini ni Jesus natingala gayod siya. Ug miingon siya sa mga tawo nga misunod kaniya, “Wala pa gayod akoy nakitang tawo sa Israel nga may pagtuo nga sama niini. 11 Busa timan-i ninyo kini! Daghang mga dili Judio gikan sa bisan asa nga bahin sa kalibotan ang molingkod uban kang Abraham, Isaac, ug Jacob sa kombira sa gingharian sa Dios. 12 Apan daghang mga Israelinhon nga mao unta ang maapil sa gingharian sa Dios ang ilabay sa gawas, didto sa kangitngitan diin manghilak sila ug magkagot ang ilang mga ngipon.” 13 Miingon si Jesus sa kapitan, “Pauli, mahitabo ang imong gituohan.” Ug niadto gayod nga takna naayo ang sulugoon sa kapitan.

Daghan ang Gipang-ayo ni Jesus

(Mar. 1:29-34; Luc. 4:38-41)

14 Miadto si Jesus sa balay ni Pedro. Pag-abot niya didto, nakita niya ang ugangang babaye ni Pedro nga naghigda kay gihilantan. 15 Gihikap ni Jesus ang iyang kamot, ug diha-diha naayo siya. Mibangon dayon siya ug gisilbihan niyag pagkaon si Jesus.

16 Sa kilomkilom na, daghang mga tawo nga gigamhan sa mga daotang espiritu ang gidala ngadto kang Jesus. Sa usa lang niya ka pagsulti mibiya ang mga daotang espiritu, ug giayo niya ang tanang masakiton. 17 Gibuhat niya kini aron matuman ang giingon ni Propeta Isaias:

“Siya gayod ang nagkuha sa atong mga sakit,
ug nagaayo sa atong mga balatian.”[c]

Ang Pagsunod kang Jesus

(Luc. 9:57-62)

18 Sa dihang nakita ni Jesus nga daghan ang mga tawo nga nagtapok libot kaniya, miingon siya sa iyang mga tinun-an, “Manabok kita sa linaw.” 19 Unya, may magtutudlo sa Kasugoan nga miduol kaniya ug miingon, “Magtutudlo, mouban ako kanimo bisan asa ka moadto.” 20 Miingon si Jesus kaniya, “Ang mga ihalas nga iro may mga lungag nga kapuy-an ug ang mga langgam may mga salag, apan ako nga Anak sa Tawo walay kaugalingong balay nga akong kapahulayan.” 21 May usa pa ka tinun-an ni Jesus nga miingon, “Ginoo, mopauli una ako aron sa paglubong sa akong amahan.”[d] 22 Mitubag si Jesus kaniya, “Uban kanako ug pasagdi ang mga patay[e] sa paglubong sa ilang mga minatay.”

Gipahunong ni Jesus ang Kusog nga Hangin ug ang mga Balod

(Mar. 4:35-41; Luc. 8:22-25)

23 Unya misakay si Jesus sa sakayan, ug mikuyog kaniya ang iyang mga tinun-an. 24 Samtang nagsakay sila, kalit nga mikusog ang hangin, ug daw matabonan na sa dagkong mga balod ang ilang sakayan. Apan natulog si Jesus. 25 Busa gi-adto siya sa iyang mga tinun-an ug gipukaw. Miingon sila, “Ginoo, luwasa kami! Malunod na kita!” 26 Miingon si Jesus kanila, “Nganong nahadlok man kamo? Kulang ang inyong pagtuo.” Unya mibangon siya ug gimandoan niya ang hangin ug ang mga balod nga mohunong. Ug diha-diha milinaw. 27 Natingala gayod ang iyang mga tinun-an ug miingon sila, “Unsa ba kining tawhana nga bisan ang hangin ug ang mga balod motuman man kaniya?”

Giayo ni Jesus ang Duha ka Tawong Gigamhan sa mga Daotang Espiritu

(Mar. 5:1-20; Luc. 8:26-39)

28 Sa pag-abot nila sa tabok sa lanaw, sa dapit sa mga Gadarenhon,[f] gisugat si Jesus sa duha ka tawo nga migawas gikan sa mga langub nga lubnganan. Kining duha ka tawo gigamhan sa mga daotang espiritu. Bangis sila kaayo, busa nahadlok ang mga tawo nga moagi didto. 29 Sa pagkakita nila kang Jesus misinggit sila, “Ikaw nga Anak sa Dios, unsay imong labot kanamo? Mianhi ka ba dinhi aron silotan kami bisag dili pa panahon?” 30 Didto sa unahan may daghang baboy nga nangungad. 31 Nagpakilooy ang mga daotang espiritu nga nagaingon, “Kon abugon mo man gayod kami, tugoti na lang kami nga mosulod didto sa mga baboy.” 32 Miingon si Jesus kanila, “Sige, lakaw!” Busa nanggawas sila gikan sa duha ka tawo ug misulod sa mga baboy. Unya mihaguros ang mga baboy ug dagan sa pangpang, ngadto sa tubig ug nangalumos.

33 Nanagan ang mga nagaatiman sa mga baboy paingon sa lungsod ug nanugilon kon unsa ang nahitabo sa mga baboy ug sa duha ka tawo nga gigamhan sa mga daotang espiritu. 34 Busa ang tanang mga tawo sa lungsod nangadto kang Jesus ug nagpakilooy nga mobiya siya sa ilang dapit.

When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.

34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

Jesus Cleanses a Leper(A)

When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. (B)And behold, a leper came and (C)worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy (D)was cleansed.

And Jesus said to him, (E)“See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that (F)Moses (G)commanded, as a testimony to them.”

Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Servant(H)

(I)Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a (J)centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”

And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

The centurion answered and said, “Lord, (K)I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only (L)speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.

10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! 11 And I say to you that (M)many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But (N)the sons of the kingdom (O)will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.

Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed(P)

14 (Q)Now when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw (R)his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. 15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served [a]them.

Many Healed in the Evening(S)

16 (T)When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

(U)He Himself took our infirmities
And bore our sicknesses.”

The Cost of Discipleship(V)

18 And when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to depart to the other side. 19 (W)Then a certain scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

21 (X)Then another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, (Y)let me first go and bury my father.”

22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

Wind and Wave Obey Jesus(Z)

23 Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 (AA)And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. 25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then (AB)He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27 So the men marveled, saying, [b]“Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Two Demon-Possessed Men Healed(AC)

28 (AD)When He had come to the other side, to the country of the [c]Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way. 29 And suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”

30 Now a good way off from them there was a herd of many swine feeding. 31 So the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, [d]permit us to go away into the herd of swine.”

32 And He said to them, “Go.” So when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and perished in the water.

33 Then those who kept them fled; and they went away into the city and told everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, (AE)they begged Him to depart from their region.
