New Testament in a Year

²⁶ And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that is over-against Galilee,

²⁷ and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs,

²⁸ and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, `What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!'

²⁹ For he commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and fetters -- guarded, and breaking asunder the bonds he was driven by the demons to the deserts.

³⁰ And Jesus questioned him, saying, `What is thy name?' and he said, `Legion,' (because many demons were entered into him,)

³¹ and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss,

³² and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, and he suffered them,

³³ and the demons having gone forth from the man, did enter into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep to the lake, and were choked.

³⁴ And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the fields;

³⁵ and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came unto Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;

³⁶ and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.

³⁷ And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back.

³⁸ And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,

³⁹ `Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him.

⁴⁰ And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him,

⁴¹ and lo, there came a man, whose name [is] Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house;

⁴² because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him,

⁴³ and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any,

⁴⁴ having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, `Who [is] it that touched me?' and all denying, Peter and those with him said, `Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng [thee], and thou dost say, Who [is] it that touched me!'

⁴⁶ And Jesus said, `Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from me.'

⁴⁷ And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched him declared to him before all the people, and how she was healed presently;

⁴⁸ and he said to her, `Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.'

⁴⁹ While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's [house], saying to him -- `Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;'

⁵⁰ and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, `Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.'

⁵¹ And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;

⁵² and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, `Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep;

⁵³ and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die;

⁵⁴ and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, `Child, arise;'

⁵⁵ and her spirit came back, and she arose presently, and he directed that there be given to her to eat;

⁵⁶ and her parents were amazed, but he charged them to say to no one what was come to pass.
