1 J esus and His followers came to the other side of the sea to the country of the Gerasenes.

¶ And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

2 H e got out of the boat. At once a man came to Him from among the graves. This man had a demon.

And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him a man of the tombs, with an unclean spirit,

3 H e lived among the graves. No man could tie him, even with chains.

who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, no, not with chains,

4 M any times he had been tied with chains on his feet. He had broken the chains as well as the irons from his hands and legs. No man was strong enough to keep him tied.

because many times he had been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been broken in pieces by him, and the fetters shattered; neither could anyone tame him.

5 N ight and day he was among the graves and in the mountains. He would cry out and cut himself with stones.

And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and hurting himself with stones.

6 W hen the man with the demon saw Jesus a long way off, he ran and worshiped Him.

But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him.

7 T he man spoke with a loud voice and said, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I ask You, in the name of God, do not hurt me!”

Crying out with a loud voice, he said, What hast thou with me, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

8 A t the same time, Jesus was saying, “Come out of the man, you demon!”

For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

9 J esus asked the demon, “What is your name?” He said, “My name is Many, for there are many of us.”

And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion, for we are many.

10 T he demons asked Jesus not to send them out of the country.

And he besought him much that he would not send him away out of that country.

11 T here were many pigs feeding on the mountain side.

Now near unto the mountains there was a great herd of swine feeding,

12 T he demons asked Him saying, “Send us to the pigs that we may go into them.”

and all those devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

13 T hen Jesus let them do what they wanted to do. So they went into the pigs. The pigs ran fast down the side of the mountain and into the sea and died. There were about 2, 000.

And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out and entered into the swine, and the herd fell over a cliff into the sea (they were about two thousand) and were choked in the sea.

14 T he men who cared for the pigs ran fast to the town and out to the country telling what had been done. People came to see what had happened.

And those that fed the swine fled and told it in the city and in the country. And people went out to see what it was that had happened.

15 T hey came to Jesus and saw the man who had had the demons. He was sitting with clothes on and in his right mind. The men were afraid.

And they come to Jesus and see him that was tormented by the demon and had the legion sitting and clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

16 T hose who had seen it told what had happened to the man who had had the demons. They told what had happened to the pigs.

And those that saw it told them what happened to him that had the demon and also concerning the swine.

17 T hen they asked Jesus to leave their country.

And they began to plead with him to depart out of their borders.

18 J esus got into the boat. The man who had had the demons asked to go with Him.

And as he was entering into the ship, he that had been troubled by the demon besought him that he might be with him.

19 J esus would not let him go but said to him, “Go home to your own people. Tell them what great things the Lord has done for you. Tell them how He had pity on you.”

But Jesus suffered him not but said unto him, Go home to thy friends and family and tell them what great things the Lord has done with thee and how he has had mercy on thee.

20 T he man went his way and told everyone in the land of Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him. All the people were surprised and wondered. Two Were Healed through Faith

And he went and began to publish in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done with him, and everyone marveled.

21 T hen Jesus went by boat over to the other side of the sea. Many people gathered around Him. He stayed by the sea-shore.

¶ And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, a great multitude gathered unto him, and he was near the sea.

22 J airus was one of the leaders of the Jewish place of worship. As Jairus came to Jesus, he got down at His feet.

And one of the princes of the synagogue came, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet

23 H e cried out to Jesus and said, “My little daughter is almost dead. Come and put Your hand on her that she may be healed and live.”

and besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death; come and lay thy hands on her that she may be saved, and she shall live.

24 J esus went with him. Many people followed and pushed around Jesus.

And Jesus went with him; and a great multitude followed him and thronged him.

25 A woman had been sick for twelve years with a flow of blood.

And a certain woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years

26 S he had suffered much because of having many doctors. She had spent all the money she had. She had received no help, but became worse.

and had suffered many things of many physicians and had spent all that she had and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse;

27 S he heard about Jesus and went among the people who were following Him. She touched His coat.

when she had heard of Jesus, came from behind among the multitude and touched his garment.

28 F or she said to herself, “If I can only touch His coat, I will be healed.”

For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be saved.

29 A t once the flow of blood stopped. She felt in her body that she was healed of her sickness.

And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

30 A t the same time Jesus knew that power had gone from Him. He turned and said to the people following Him, “Who touched My coat?”

And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned to the crowd and said, Who touched my clothes?

31 H is followers said to Him, “You see the many people pushing on every side. Why do You ask, ‘Who touched My coat?’”

And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee and sayest thou, Who touched me?

32 H e looked around to see who had done it.

And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

33 T he woman was filled with fear when she knew what had happened to her. She came and got down before Jesus and told Him the truth.

But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him and told him all the truth.

34 H e said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free from your sickness.”

And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith has made thee saved; go in peace and remain whole of thy plague.

35 W hile Jesus spoke, men came from the house of the leader of the place of worship. They said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher anymore?”

¶ While he yet spoke, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain who said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

36 J esus heard this. He said to the leader of the Jewish place of worship, “Do not be afraid, just believe.”

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he said unto the prince of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

37 H e allowed no one to go with Him but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

And he suffered no one to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

38 T hey came to the house where the leader of the place of worship lived. Jesus found many people making much noise and crying.

And they came to the house of the prince of the synagogue and saw the tumult and those that wept and wailed greatly.

39 H e went in and asked them, “Why is there so much noise and crying? The girl is not dead. She is sleeping.”

And when he was come in, he said unto them, Why make ye this ado and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleeps.

40 T hey laughed at Jesus. But He sent them all out of the room. Then He took the girl’s father and mother and those who were with Him. They went into the room where the girl was.

And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he took the father and the mother of the damsel and those that were with him and entered in where the damsel was lying.

41 H e took the girl by the hand and said, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

And taking the damsel by the hand, he said unto her, Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

42 A t once the girl got up and walked. She was twelve years old. They were very much surprised and wondered about it.

And straightway the damsel arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

43 H e spoke sharp words to them that they should not tell anyone. He told them to give her something to eat.

And he charged them straitly that no one should know it and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
