1 ¶ And it came to pass afterward that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and announcing the gospel of the kingdom of God, and the twelve with him,

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,

2 a nd certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

and certain women, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,

3 a nd Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who ministered unto him of their substance.

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

4 ¶ And when many people were gathered together and were come to him out of every city, he spoke 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 A sower went out to sow his seed, and as he sowed, some fell along the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air 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 some fell upon the rock, and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.

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

7 A nd some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up 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 some fell on good ground and sprang up and bore fruit a hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that has 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, saying, What might this parable 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 others in parables that seeing they might not see and hearing they might 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 T hose along the way are those that hear; then comes the devil and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should 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 T hose on the rock are those that when they hear, receive the word with joy, but 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 thorns are those who when they have heard go forth and 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 B ut that on the good ground are those who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it 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 N o one when they have lighted a lamp cover it with a vessel or put it under a bed, but set it on a lampstand, that those who 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 secret that shall not be made manifest, neither any thing hid 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 has, to him shall be given; and whosoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.

`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 T hen his mother and his brethren came to him and could not get to 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 by certain who said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand outside, desiring to see thee.

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

21 A nd he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are those who 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 ¶ Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with 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 being filled 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. Then he arose 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 they, being afraid, wondered, saying one to another, Who is this! for he even commands 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 Gadarenes, 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 went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, who had demons for a long time and wore no clothes, neither abode 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,

28 W hen he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.

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 ( For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him, and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters, and he broke the bands and was driven of the demon into the wilderness.)

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, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion, because 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 besought him that he would not command them to go out into the abyss.

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

32 A nd there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, and they besought him that he would allow them to enter into them. And he allowed them.

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 T hen the demons went out of the man and entered into the swine, and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake and were choked.

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 W hen those that fed them saw what was done, they fled and went 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 T hen they went out to see what was done and came to Jesus and found the man, out of whom the demons were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind; 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 those who saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the demons was saved.

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

37 T hen the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them, for they were taken with great fear; and he went up into the ship and returned back again.

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 N ow the man out of whom the demons were departed besought him that he might be with him, but Jesus 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 thine own house and tell what great things God has done unto thee. And he went, preaching throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done unto 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 ¶ And it came to pass that when Jesus returned, the people received 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 prince of the synagogue, and he fell down at Jesus’ feet and besought him that he would 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 lay dying. But as he went, the people 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 but could not be healed by 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,

44 c ame behind him and touched the border of his garment, and immediately her issue of blood stopped.

having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood.

45 T hen Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and those that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

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 A nd Jesus said, Someone has touched me, for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.

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

47 A nd when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediately.

And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched him declared to him before all the people, and how she was healed presently;

48 A nd he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith has made thee whole; go in peace.

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

49 W hile he yet spoke, there came one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's, saying to him -- `Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;'

50 B ut when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not; only believe, and she shall be made whole.

and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, `Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.'

51 A nd when he came into the house, he allowed no one to go in except Peter and James and John and the father and the mother of the maiden.

And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;

52 A nd all wept and bewailed her, but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.

and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, `Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep;

53 A nd they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die;

54 A nd he put them all out and took her by the hand and called, saying, Maid, arise.

and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, `Child, arise;'

55 T hen her spirit returned, and she arose straightway, and he commanded to give her food.

and her spirit came back, and she arose presently, and he directed that there be given to her to eat;

56 A nd her parents were astonished, but he charged them that they should tell no one what was done.

and her parents were amazed, but he charged them to say to no one what was come to pass.
