^aThey came to the other side of the sea, into the region of the Gerasenes. 2 When He got out of ^athe boat, immediately a man from the tombs ^bwith an unclean spirit met Him. 3 He lived among the tombs; and no one was able to bind him anymore, not even with a chain, 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces; and no one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Constantly, night and day, he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains, and cutting himself with stones. 6 Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him; 7 and shouting with a loud voice, he *said, “^1aWhat business do You have with me, Jesus, ^bSon of ^cthe Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!” 8 For He had already been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” 9 And He was asking him, “What is your name?” And he *said to Him, “My name is ^aLegion, for we are many.” 10 And he begged Him earnestly not to send them out of the region. 11 Now there was a large herd of pigs feeding ¹nearby on the mountain. 12 And the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us into the pigs so that we may enter them.” 13 Jesus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the pigs; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea.

14 Their herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the countryside. And the people came to see what it was that had happened. 15 And then they *came to Jesus and *saw the man who had been ^ademon-possessed sitting down, ^bclothed and ^cin his right mind, the very man who had previously had the “^dlegion”; and they became frightened. 16 Those who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the ^ademon-possessed man, and all about the pigs. 17 And they began to ^abeg Him to leave their region. 18 ^aAnd as He was getting into the boat, the man who had been ^bdemon-possessed was begging Him that he might ¹accompany Him. 19 And He did not let him, but He *said to him, “^aGo home to your people and report to them ¹what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.” 20 And he went away and began to ^aproclaim in ^bDecapolis ¹what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.

21 ^aWhen Jesus had crossed over again in ^bthe boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and He ¹stayed ^cby the seashore. 22 ^aAnd one of ^bthe synagogue ¹officials, named Jairus, *came, and upon seeing Him, *fell at His feet 23 and *pleaded with Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and ^alay Your hands on her, so that she will ¹get well and live.” 24 And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him.

25 A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, 26 and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but instead had become worse— 27 after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His ¹cloak. 28 For she had been saying to herself, “If I just touch His garments, I will ¹get well.” 29 And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her ^adisease. 30 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that ^apower from Him had gone out, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?” 31 And His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’” 32 And He looked around to see the woman who had done this. 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, ^ayour faith has ¹made you well; ^bgo in peace and be cured of your ^cdisease.”

35 While He was still speaking, people *came from the house of the ^asynagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why bother the Teacher further?” 36 But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, *said to the ^asynagogue official, “^bDo not be afraid, only ¹believe.” 37 And He allowed no one to accompany Him except ^aPeter, ¹James, and John the brother of ²James. 38 They *came to the house of the ^asynagogue official, and He *saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing. 39 And after entering, He *said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child has not died, but is asleep.” 40 And they began laughing at Him. But putting them all outside, He *took along the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and *entered the room where the child was in bed. 41 And taking the child by the hand, He *said to her, “Talitha, kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, ^aI say to you, get up!”). 42 And immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astonished. 43 And He ^agave them strict orders that no one was to know about this, and He told them to have something given her to eat.

^aThey came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes. 2 When He got out of ^athe boat, immediately a man from the tombs ^bwith an unclean spirit met Him, 3 and he had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him anymore, even with a chain; 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces, and no one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Constantly, night and day, he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains, and gashing himself with stones. 6 Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him; 7 and shouting with a loud voice, he *said, “^1aWhat business do we have with each other, Jesus, ^bSon of ^cthe Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!” 8 For He had been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” 9 And He was asking him, “What is your name?” And he *said to Him, “My name is ^aLegion; for we are many.” 10 And he began to implore Him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now there was a large herd of swine feeding ¹nearby on the mountain. 12 The demons implored Him, saying, “Send us into the swine so that we may enter them.” 13 Jesus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea.

14 Their herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the country. And the people came to see what it was that had happened. 15 They *came to Jesus and *observed the man who had been ^ademon-possessed sitting down, ^bclothed and ^cin his right mind, the very man who had had the “^dlegion”; and they became frightened. 16 Those who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the ^ademon-possessed man, and all about the swine. 17 And they began to ^aimplore Him to leave their region. 18 ^aAs He was getting into the boat, the man who had been ^bdemon-possessed was imploring Him that he might ¹accompany Him. 19 And He did not let him, but He *said to him, “^aGo home to your people and report to them ¹what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.” 20 And he went away and began to ^aproclaim in ^bDecapolis ¹what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.

21 ^aWhen Jesus had crossed over again in ^bthe boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and so He ¹stayed ^cby the seashore. 22 ^aOne of ^bthe synagogue ¹officials named Jairus *came up, and on seeing Him, *fell at His feet 23 and *implored Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and ^alay Your hands on her, so that she will ¹get well and live.” 24 And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him.

25 A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, 26 and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse— 27 after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His ¹cloak. 28 For she ¹thought, “If I just touch His garments, I will ²get well.” 29 Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her ^aaffliction. 30 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that ^athe power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?” 31 And His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’” 32 And He looked around to see the woman who had done this. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, ^ayour faith has ¹made you well; ^bgo in peace and be healed of your ^caffliction.”

35 While He was still speaking, they *came from the house of the ^asynagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the Teacher anymore?” 36 But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, *said to the ^asynagogue official, “^bDo not be afraid any longer, only ¹believe.” 37 And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except ^aPeter and ¹James and John the brother of ²James. 38 They *came to the house of the ^asynagogue official; and He *saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing. 39 And entering in, He *said to them, “Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep.” 40 They began laughing at Him.
