1 A nd it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good tidings of the kingdom of God, and with him the twelve,

And it came to pass thereafter, that he was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the reign of God, and the twelve with him,

and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to him from their substance.

4 A nd when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable:

And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile:

5 T he sower went forth to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it.

`The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it.

6 A nd other fell on the rock; and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

`And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture.

7 A nd other fell amidst the thorns; and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.

`And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it.

8 A nd other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

`And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.' These things saying, he was calling, `He having ears to hear -- let him hear.'

9 A nd his disciples asked him what this parable might be.

And his disciples were questioning him, saying, `What may this simile be?'

10 A nd he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

And he said, `To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

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

`And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God,

12 A nd those by the way side are they that have heard; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.

and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.

13 A nd those on the rock are they who, when they have heard, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

`And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

14 A nd that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

`And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion.

15 A nd that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.

`And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain, and bear fruit in continuance.

16 A nd no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light.

`And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put, that those coming in may see the light,

17 F or nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest; nor anything secret, that shall not be known and come to light.

for nothing is secret, that shall not become manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest.

18 T ake heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinketh he hath.

`See, therefore, how ye hear, for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.'

19 A nd there came to him his mother and brethren, and they could not come at him for the crowd.

And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude,

20 A nd it was told him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

and it was told him, saying, `Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;'

21 B ut he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God, and do it.

and he answering said unto them, `My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.'

22 N ow it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake: and they launched forth.

And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, `We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set forth,

23 B ut as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.

and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.

24 A nd they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

And having come near, they awoke him, saying, `Master, master, we perish;' and he, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,

25 A nd he said unto them, Where is your faith? And being afraid they marvelled, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

and he said to them, `Where is your faith?' and they being afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, `Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?'

26 A nd they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee.

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

27 A nd when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in any house, but in the tombs.

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,

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 F or he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the demon into the deserts.

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 A nd Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; for many demons were entered into him.

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

31 A nd they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss.

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

32 N ow there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave.

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 A nd the demons came out from the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.

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 A nd when they that fed them saw what had come to pass, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

And those feeding, having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told to the city, and to the fields;

35 A nd they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid.

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 A nd they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with demons was made whole.

and those also having seen, told them how the demoniac was saved.

37 A nd all the people of the country of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them, for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned.

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 B ut the man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,

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 R eturn to thy house, and declare how great things God hath done for thee. And he went his way, publishing throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him.

`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 A nd as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.

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

41 A nd behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him to come into his house;

and lo, there came a man, whose name 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 f or he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the multitudes thronged him.

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

43 A nd a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any,

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,

45 A nd Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush thee.

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

46 B ut Jesus said, Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me.

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

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