1 S oon 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,

Y ACONTECIO después, que él caminaba por todas las ciudades y aldeas, predicando y anunciando el evangelio del reino de Dios, y los doce con él,

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

Y algunas mujeres que habían sido curadas de malos espíritus y de enfermedades: María, que se llamaba Magdalena, de la cual habían salido siete demonios,

3 A nd 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.

Y Juana, mujer de Chuza, procurador de Herodes, y Susana, y otras muchas que le servían de sus haciendas.

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

Ycomo se juntó una grande compañía, y los que estaban en cada ciudad vinieron á él, dijo por una parábola:

5 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.

Uno que sembraba, salió á sembrar su simiente; y sembrando, una parte cayó junto al camino, y fué hollada; y las aves del cielo la comieron.

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

Y otra parte cayó sobre la piedra; y nacida, se secó, porque no tenía humedad.

7 A nd other fell in the midst of the thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.

Y otra parte cayó entre las espinas; y naciendo las espinas juntamente, la ahogaron.

8 A nd 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!

Y otra parte cayó en buena tierra, y cuando fué nacida, llevó fruto á ciento por uno. Diciendo estas cosas clamaba: El que tiene oídos para oir, oiga.

9 A nd when His disciples asked Him the meaning of this parable,

Y sus discípulos le preguntaron, diciendo, qué era está parábola.

10 H e 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.

Y él dijo: A vosotros es dado conocer los misterios del reino de Dios; mas á los otros por parábolas, para que viendo no vean, y oyendo no entiendan.

11 N ow the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the Word of God.

Es pues ésta la parábola: La simiente es la palabra de Dios.

12 T hose 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.

Y los de junto al camino, éstos son los que oyen; y luego viene el diablo, y quita la palabra de su corazón, porque no crean y se salven.

13 A nd 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).

Y los de sobre la piedra, son los que habiendo oído, reciben la palabra con gozo; mas éstos no tienen raíces; que á tiempo creen, y en el tiempo de la tentación se apartan.

14 A nd 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).

Y la que cayó entre las espinas, éstos son los que oyeron; mas yéndose, son ahogados de los cuidados y de las riquezas y de los pasatiempos de la vida, y no llevan fruto.

15 B ut 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.

Mas la que en buena tierra, éstos son los que con corazón bueno y recto retienen la palabra oída, y llevan fruto en paciencia.

16 N o 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.

Ninguno que enciende la antorcha la cubre con vasija, ó la pone debajo de la cama; mas la pone en un candelero, para que los que entran vean la luz.

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

Porque no hay cosa oculta, que no haya de ser manifestada; ni cosa escondida, que no haya de ser entendida, y de venir á luz.

18 B e 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.

Mirad pues cómo oís; porque á cualquiera que tuviere, le será dado; y á cualquiera que no tuviere, aun lo que parece tener le será quitado.

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

Y vinieron á él su madre y hermanos; y no podían llegar á el por causa de la multitud.

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

Y le fué dado aviso, diciendo: Tu madre y tus hermanos están fuera, que quieren verte.

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

El entonces respondiendo, les dijo: Mi madre y mis hermanos son los que oyen la palabra de Dios, y la ejecutan.

22 O ne 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.

Y aconteció un día que él entró en un barco con sus discípulos, y les dijo: Pasemos á la otra parte del lago. Y partieron.

23 B ut 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.

Pero mientras ellos navegaban, él se durmió. Y sobrevino una tempestad de viento en el lago; y henchían de agua, y peligraban.

24 A nd 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.

Y llegándose á él, le despertaron, diciendo: ­Maestro, Maestro, que perecemos! Y despertado él increpó al viento y á la tempestad del agua; y cesaron, y fué hecha bonanza.

25 A nd 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?

Y les dijo: ¿Qué es de vuestra fe? Y atemorizados, se maravillaban, diciendo los unos á los otros: ¿Quién es éste, que aun á los vientos y al agua manda, y le obedecen?

26 T hen they came to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

Y navegaron á la tierra de los Gadarenos, que está delante de Galilea.

27 N ow 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.

Y saliendo él á tierra, le vino al encuentro de la ciudad un hombre que tenía demonios ya de mucho tiempo; y no vestía vestido, ni estaba en casa, sino por los sepulcros.

28 A nd 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!

El cual, como vió á Jesús, exclamó y se postró delante de él, y dijo á gran voz: ¿Qué tengo yo contigo, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo? Ruégote que no me atormentes.

29 F or 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).

(Porque mandaba al espíritu inmundo que saliese del hombre: porque ya de mucho tiempo le arrebataba; y le guardaban preso con cadenas y grillos; mas rompiendo las prisiones, era agitado del demonio por los desiertos.)

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

Y le preguntó Jesús, diciendo: ¿Qué nombre tienes? Y él dijo: Legión. Porque muchos demonios habían entrado en él.

31 A nd they begged not to command them to depart into the Abyss (bottomless pit).

Y le rogaban que no les mandase ir al abismo.

32 N ow 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.

Y había allí un hato de muchos puercos que pacían en el monte; y le rogaron que los dejase entrar en ellos; y los dejó.

33 T hen 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.

Y salidos los demonios del hombre, entraron en los puercos; y el hato se arrojó de un despeñadero en el lago, y ahogóse.

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

Y los pastores, como vieron lo que había acontecido, huyeron, y yendo dieron aviso en la ciudad y por las heredades.

35 A nd 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.

Y salieron á ver lo que había acontecido; y vinieron á Jesús, y hallaron sentado al hombre de quien habían salido los demonios, vestido, y en su juicio, á los pies de Jesús; y tuvieron miedo.

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

Y les contaron los que lo habían visto, cómo había sido salvado aquel endemoniado.

37 T hen 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.

Entonces toda la multitud de la tierra de los Gadarenos alrededor, le rogaron que se fuese de ellos; porque tenían gran temor. Y él, subiendo en el barco, volvióse.

38 B ut 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,

Y aquel hombre, de quien habían salido los demonios, le rogó para estar con él; mas Jesús le despidió, diciendo:

39 R eturn 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.

Vuélvete á tu casa, y cuenta cuán grandes cosas ha hecho Dios contigo. Y él se fué, publicando por toda la ciudad cuán grandes cosas habiá hecho Jesús con él.

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

Y aconteció que volviendo Jesús, recibióle la gente; porque todos le esperaban.

41 A nd 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,

Y he aquí un varón, llamado Jairo, y que era príncipe de la sinagoga, vino, y cayendo á los pies de Jesús, le rogaba que entrase en su casa;

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

Porque tenía una hija única, como de doce años, y ella se estaba muriendo. Y yendo, le apretaba la compañía.

43 A nd 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,

Y una mujer, que tenía flujo de sangre hacía ya doce años, la cual había gastado en médicos toda su hacienda, y por ninguno había podido ser curada,

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

Llegándose por las espaldas, tocó el borde de su vestido; y luego se estancó el flujo de su sangre.

45 A nd 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!

Entonces Jesús dijo: ¿Quién es el que me ha tocado? Y negando todos, dijo Pedro y los que estaban con él: Maestro, la compañía te aprieta y oprime, y dices: ¿Quién es el que me ha tocado?

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

Y Jesús dijo: Me ha tocado alguien; porque yo he conocido que ha salido virtud de mí.

47 A nd 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.

Entonces, como la mujer vió que no se había ocultado, vino temblando, y postrándose delante de él declaróle delante de todo el pueblo la causa por qué le había tocado, y cómo luego había sido sana.

48 A nd 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).

Y él dijo: Hija, tu fe te ha salvado: ve en paz.

49 W hile 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.

Estando aún él hablando, vino uno del príncipe de la sinagoga á decirle: Tu hija es muerta, no des trabajo al Maestro.

50 B ut 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.

Y oyéndolo Jesús, le respondió: No temas: cree solamente, y será salva.

51 A nd 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.

Y entrado en casa, no dejó entrar á nadie consigo, sino á Pedro, y á Jacobo, y á Juan, y al padre y á la madre de la moza.

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

Y lloraban todos, y la plañían. Y él dijo: No lloréis; no es muerta, sino que duerme.

53 A nd they laughed Him to scorn, knowing full well that she was dead.

Y hacían burla de él, sabiendo que estaba muerta.

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

Mas él, tomándola de la mano, clamó, diciendo: Muchacha, levántate.

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

Entonces su espíritu volvió, y se levantó luego: y él mando que le diesen de comer.

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

Y sus padres estaban atónitos; á los cuales él mandó, que á nadie dijesen lo que había sido hecho.
