Old/New Testament
Jesus Casts Demons Out of a Man Into a Herd of Pigs. The Locals Beg Him To Leave
26 And they sailed-down to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27 And He having gone out on the land, a certain man from the city met Him, having demons. And for a considerable time he did not put-on a garment, and was not staying in a house, but in the tombs. 28 And having seen Jesus, having cried out, he fell before Him and said with a loud voice, “What do[a] I have to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most-High God? I beg You, do not torment me”. 29 For He ordered the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For it had seized him many times. And he was being bound with chains and shackles[b], while being guarded. And tearing the bonds, he was being driven by the demon into the desolate places. 30 And Jesus asked him, “What is the name for you?” And the one said, “Legion[c]”, because many demons entered into him. 31 And they were begging Him that He not command them to go into the abyss. 32 Now there was a herd of many pigs there feeding on the mountain. And they begged Him that He permit them to enter into those pigs. And He permitted them. 33 And the demons, having come out from the man, entered into the pigs. And the herd rushed down the steep-bank into the lake, and was drowned. 34 And the ones feeding[d] them, having seen the thing having happened, fled and reported it in the city and in the fields. 35 And they came out to see the thing having happened. And they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons went out sitting— having been clothed, and being sound-minded— at the feet of Jesus. And they became afraid. 36 And the ones having seen reported to them how the one having been demon-possessed was restored. 37 And the whole crowd from the surrounding-region of the Gerasenes asked Him to depart from them because they were being gripped[e] with great fear. And He, having gotten into a boat, returned. 38 But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him to be with Him. But He sent him away, saying, 39 “Return to your house and be relating[f] all-that God did for you”. And he departed, proclaiming throughout the whole city all-that Jesus did for him.
Jairus, a Synagogue Official, Comes To Jesus About His Dying Daughter
40 And during Jesus’ returning, the crowd welcomed Him, for they were all expecting Him. 41 And behold— a man came, for whom the name was Jairus. And this one was an official[g] of the synagogue. And having fallen at[h] the feet of Jesus, he was begging Him to enter into his house, 42 because there was an only-born daughter to him, about twelve years old, and she was dying.
On The Way, a Woman Touches The Garment of Jesus And Is Healed
Now during His going, the crowds were thronging[i] Him. 43 And a woman being in a flow of blood for twelve years— who, having expended her whole living on physicians, was not able to be cured by anyone— 44 having approached from behind, touched the tassel of His garment. And at once her flow of blood stopped. 45 And Jesus said, “Who is the one having touched Me?” And while all were denying it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds are enclosing You and pressing-against You”. 46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched Me, for I recognized[j] power[k] having gone forth from Me”. 47 And the woman, having seen that she did not escape-notice, came trembling. And having fallen before Him, she declared in the presence of all the people for what reason she touched Him, and how she was healed at-once. 48 And the One said to her, “Daughter, your faith has restored[l] you. Go in peace”.
The Daughter Dies Before Jesus Arrives. He Raises Her From The Dead
49 While He is still speaking, someone comes from [the house of] the synagogue-official, saying that “Your daughter is dead. Be troubling the Teacher no longer”. 50 But Jesus, having heard, responded to him, “Do not be fearing. Only believe, and she will be restored”. 51 And having come to the house, He did not permit anyone to go in with Him except Peter and John and James, and the father of the child, and the mother. 52 Now they[m] were all weeping and beating-their-breasts for her. But the One said, “Do not be weeping, for she did not die, but she is sleeping”. 53 And they were laughing-scornfully at Him, knowing that she died. 54 But He, having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, “Child, arise!” 55 And her spirit returned, and she stood up at-once. And He directed that something should be given to her to eat. 56 And her parents were astonished. And the One ordered them to tell no one the thing having taken place.
