1 L ogo depois disso, andava Jesus de cidade em cidade, e de aldeia em aldeia, pregando e anunciando o evangelho do reino de Deus; e iam com ele os doze,

Soon afterward, went on through towns and villages, preaching and bringing the good news (the Gospel) of the kingdom of God. And the Twelve were with Him,

2 b em como algumas mulheres que haviam sido curadas de espíritos malignos e de enfermidades: Maria, chamada Madalena, da qual tinham saído sete demônios.

And also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had been expelled;

3 J oana, mulher de Cuza, procurador de Herodes, Susana, e muitas outras que os serviam com os seus bens.

And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s household manager; and Susanna; and many others, who ministered to and provided for Him and them out of their property and personal belongings.

4 O ra, ajuntando-se uma grande multidão, e vindo ter com ele gente de todas as cidades, disse Jesus por parábola:

And when a very great throng was gathering together and people from town after town kept coming to Jesus, He said in a parable:

5 S aiu o semeador a semear a sua semente. E quando semeava, uma parte da semente caiu ã beira do caminho; e foi pisada, e as aves do céu a comeram.

A sower went out to sow seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the traveled path and was trodden underfoot, and the birds of the air ate it up.

6 O utra caiu sobre pedra; e, nascida, secou-se porque não havia umidade.

And some fell on the rock, and as soon as it sprouted, it withered away because it had no moisture.

7 E outra caiu no meio dos espinhos; e crescendo com ela os espinhos, sufocaram-na.

And other fell in the midst of the thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.

8 M as outra caiu em boa terra; e, nascida, produziu fruto, cem por um. Dizendo ele estas coisas, clamava: Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça.

And some seed fell into good soil, and grew up and yielded a crop a hundred times. As He said these things, He called out, He who has ears to hear, let him be listening and let him consider and understand by hearing!

9 P erguntaram-lhe então seus discípulos o que significava essa parábola.

And when His disciples asked Him the meaning of this parable,

10 R espondeu ele: A vós é dado conhecer os mistérios do reino de Deus; mas aos outros se fala por parábolas; para que vendo, não vejam, e ouvindo, não entendam.

He said to them, To you it has been given to know (to recognize and understand more strongly and clearly) the mysteries and secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that, looking, they may not see; and hearing, they may not comprehend.

11 É , pois, esta a parábola: A semente é a palavra de Deus.

Now the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the Word of God.

12 O s que estão ã beira do caminho são os que ouvem; mas logo vem o Diabo e tira-lhe do coração a palavra, para que não suceda que, crendo, sejam salvos.

Those along the traveled road are the people who have heard; then the devil comes and carries away the message out of their hearts, that they may not believe ( acknowledge Me as their Savior and devote themselves to Me) and be saved.

13 O s que estão sobre a pedra são os que, ouvindo a palavra, a recebem com alegria; mas estes não têm raiz, apenas crêem por algum tempo, mas na hora da provação se desviam.

And those upon the rock who, when they hear, receive and welcome it with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, and in time of trial and temptation fall away (withdraw and stand aloof).

14 A parte que caiu entre os espinhos são os que ouviram e, indo seu caminho, são sufocados pelos cuidados, riquezas, e deleites desta vida e não dão fruto com perfeição.

And as for what fell among the thorns, these are who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked and suffocated with the anxieties and cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not ripen (come to maturity and perfection).

15 M as a que caiu em boa terra são os que, ouvindo a palavra com coração reto e bom, a retêm e dão fruto com perseverança.

But as for that in the good soil, these are who, hearing the Word, hold it fast in a just ( noble, virtuous) and worthy heart, and steadily bring forth fruit with patience.

16 N inguém, pois, acende uma candeia e a cobre com algum vaso, ou a põe debaixo da cama; mas põe-na no velador, para que os que entram vejam a luz.

No one after he has lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a couch; but he puts it on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.

17 P orque não há coisa encoberta que não haja de manifestar-se, nem coisa secreta que não haja de saber-se e vir ã luz.

For there is nothing hidden that shall not be disclosed, nor anything secret that shall not be known and come out into the open.

18 V ede, pois, como ouvis; porque a qualquer que tiver lhe será dado, e a qualquer que não tiver, até o que parece ter lhe será tirado.

Be careful therefore how you listen. For to him who has will more be given; and from him who does not have, even what he thinks and guesses and supposes that he has will be taken away.

19 V ieram, então, ter com ele sua mãe e seus irmãos, e não podiam aproximar-se dele por causa da multidão.

Then Jesus’ mother and His brothers came along toward Him, but they could not get to Him because of the crowd.

20 F oi-lhe dito: Tua mãe e teus irmãos estão lá fora, e querem ver-te.

And it was told Him, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to have an interview with You.

21 E le, porém, lhes respondeu: Minha mãe e meus irmãos são estes que ouvem a palavra de Deus e a observam.

But He answered them, My mother and My brothers are those who listen to the Word of God and do it!

22 O ra, aconteceu certo dia que entrou num barco com seus discípulos, e disse-lhes: Passemos ã outra margem do lago. E partiram.

One of those days He and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, Let us go across to the other side of the lake. So they put out to sea.

23 E nquanto navegavam, ele adormeceu; e desceu uma tempestade de vento sobre o lago; e o barco se enchia de água, de sorte que perigavam.

But as they were sailing, He fell off to sleep. And a whirlwind revolving from below upwards swept down on the lake, and the boat was filling with water, and they were in great danger.

24 C hegando-se a ele, o despertaram, dizendo: Mestre, Mestre, estamos perecendo. E ele, levantando-se, repreendeu o vento e a fúria da água; e cessaram, e fez-se bonança.

And the disciples came and woke Him, saying, Master, Master, we are perishing! And He, being thoroughly awakened, censured and blamed and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; and they ceased, and there came a calm.

25 E ntão lhes perguntou: Onde está a vossa fé? Eles, atemorizados, admiraram-se, dizendo uns aos outros: Quem, pois, é este, que até aos ventos e ã água manda, e lhe obedecem?

And He said to them, Where is your faith (your trust, your confidence in Me—in My veracity and My integrity)? And they were seized with alarm and profound and reverent dread, and they marveled, saying to one another, Who then is this, that He commands even wind and sea, and they obey Him?

26 A pontaram ã terra dos gerasenos, que está defronte da Galiléia.

Then they came to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

27 L ogo que saltou em terra, saiu-lhe ao encontro um homem da cidade, possesso de demônios, que havia muito tempo não vestia roupa, nem morava em casa, mas nos sepulcros.

Now when Jesus stepped out on land, there met Him a certain man out of the town who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he lived not in a house but in the tombs.

28 Q uando ele viu a Jesus, gritou, prostrou-se diante dele, e com grande voz exclamou: Que tenho eu contigo, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Rogo-te que não me atormentes.

And when he saw Jesus, he raised a deep (terrible) cry and fell down before Him and shouted loudly, What have You with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? '> What have we in common?] I beg You, do not torment me!

29 P orque Jesus ordenara ao espírito imundo que saísse do homem. Pois já havia muito tempo que se apoderara dele; e guardavam-no preso com grilhões e cadeias; mas ele, quebrando as prisões, era impelido pelo demônio para os desertos.

For Jesus was already commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had snatched and held him; he was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the wilderness (desert).

30 P erguntou-lhe Jesus: Qual é o teu nome? Respondeu ele: Legião; porque tinham entrado nele muitos demônios.

Jesus then asked him, What is your name? And he answered, Legion; for many demons had entered him.

31 E rogavam-lhe que não os mandasse para o abismo.

And they begged not to command them to depart into the Abyss (bottomless pit).

32 O ra, andava ali pastando no monte uma grande manada de porcos; rogaram-lhe, pois que lhes permitisse entrar neles, e lho permitiu.

Now a great herd of swine was there feeding on the hillside; and begged Him to give them leave to enter these. And He allowed them.

33 E tendo os demônios saído do homem, entraram nos porcos; e a manada precipitou-se pelo despenhadeiro no lago, e afogou-se.

Then the demons came out of the man and entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep cliff into the lake and were drowned.

34 Q uando os pastores viram o que acontecera, fugiram, e foram anunciá-lo na cidade e nos campos.

When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and told it in the town and in the country.

35 S aíram, pois, a ver o que tinha acontecido, e foram ter com Jesus, a cujos pés acharam sentado, vestido e em perfeito juízo, o homem de quem havia saído os demônios; e se atemorizaram.

And went out to see what had occurred, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right (sound) mind; and they were seized with alarm and fear.

36 O s que tinham visto aquilo contaram-lhes como fora curado o endemoninhado.

And those who had seen it told them how he who had been possessed with demons was restored.

37 E ntão todo o povo da região dos gerasenos rogou-lhe que se retirasse deles; porque estavam possuídos de grande medo. Pelo que ele entrou no barco, e voltou.

Then all the people of the country surrounding the Gerasenes’ district asked to depart from them, for they were possessed and suffering with dread and terror; so He entered a boat and returned.

38 P edia-lhe, porém, o homem de quem haviam saído os demônios que o deixasse estar com ele; mas Jesus o despediu, dizendo:

But the man from whom the demons had gone out kept begging and praying that he might accompany Him and be with Him, but sent him away, saying,

39 V olta para tua casa, e conta tudo quanto Deus te fez. E ele se retirou, publicando por toda a cidade tudo quanto Jesus lhe fizera.

Return to your home, and recount of how many and great things God has done for you. And departed, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

40 Q uando Jesus voltou, a multidão o recebeu; porque todos o estavam esperando.

Now when Jesus came back, the crowd received and welcomed Him gladly, for they were all waiting and looking for Him.

41 E eis que veio um homem chamado Jairo, que era chefe da sinagoga; e prostrando-se aos pés de Jesus, rogava-lhe que fosse a sua casa;

And there came a man named Jairus, who had '> long time] been a director of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he begged Him to come to his house,

42 p orque tinha uma filha única, de cerca de doze anos, que estava ã morte. Enquanto, pois, ele ia, apertavam-no as multidões.

For he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As went, the people pressed together around Him.

43 E certa mulher, que tinha uma hemorragia havia doze anos e por ninguém pudera ser curada,

And a woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years and had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed by anyone,

44 c hegando-se por detrás, tocou-lhe a orla do manto, e imediatamente cessou a sua hemorragia.

Came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His garment, and immediately her flow of blood ceased.

45 P erguntou Jesus: Quem é que me tocou? Como todos negassem, disse-lhe Pedro: Mestre, as multidões te apertam e te oprimem.

And Jesus said, Who is it who touched Me? When all were denying it, Peter and those who were with him said, Master, the multitudes surround You and press You on every side!

46 M as disse Jesus: Alguém me tocou; pois percebi que de mim saiu poder.

But Jesus said, Someone did touch Me; for I perceived that power has gone forth from Me.

47 E ntão, vendo a mulher que não passara despercebida, aproximou-se tremendo e, prostrando-se diante dele, declarou-lhe perante todo o povo a causa por que lhe havia tocado, e como fora imediatamente curada.

And when the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came up trembling, and, falling down before Him, she declared in the presence of all the people for what reason she had touched Him and how she had been instantly cured.

48 D isse-lhe ele: Filha, a tua fé te salvou; vai-te em paz.

And He said to her, Daughter, your faith (your confidence and trust in Me) has made you well! Go (enter) into peace ( untroubled, undisturbed well-being).

49 E nquanto ainda falava, veio alguém da casa do chefe da sinagoga dizendo: A tua filha já está morta; não incomodes mais o Mestre.

While He was still speaking, a man from the house of the director of the synagogue came and said, Your daughter is dead; do not weary and trouble the Teacher any further.

50 J esus, porém, ouvindo-o, respondeu-lhe: Não temas: crê somente, e será salva.

But Jesus, on hearing this, answered him, Do not be seized with alarm or struck with fear; simply believe '> in Me as able to do this], and she shall be made well.

51 T endo chegado ã casa, a ninguém deixou entrar com ele, senão a Pedro, João, Tiago, e o pai e a mãe da menina.

And when He came to the house, He permitted no one to enter with Him except Peter and John and James, and the girl’s father and mother.

52 E todos choravam e pranteavam; ele, porém, disse: Não choreis; ela não está morta, mas dorme.

And all were weeping for and bewailing her; but He said, Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping.

53 E riam-se dele, sabendo que ela estava morta.

And they laughed Him to scorn, knowing full well that she was dead.

54 E ntão ele, tomando-lhe a mão, exclamou: Menina, levanta-te.

And grasping her hand, He called, saying, Child, arise '> from the sleep of death]!

55 E o seu espírito voltou, e ela se levantou imediatamente; e Jesus mandou que lhe desse de comer.

And her spirit returned '> from death], and she arose immediately; and He directed that she should be given something to eat.

56 E seus pais ficaram maravilhados; e ele mandou-lhes que a ninguém contassem o que havia sucedido.

And her parents were amazed, but He charged them to tell no one what had occurred.
