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 out of the tombs a man 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 man 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 that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man 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, and cutting 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!”

And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, 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 them away out of the country.

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

Now there was there nigh unto the mountains 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 the 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 ran violently down a steep place 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 they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

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 possessed with the devil, 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 they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

17 T hen they asked Jesus to leave their country.

And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

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

And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed 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.”

Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion 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 departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

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, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto 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, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, 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 lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

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

And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

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

And a certain woman, which 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 in the press behind, 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 whole.

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 him about in the press, 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 hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be 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 spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which 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 saith unto the ruler 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 man to follow him, save 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 he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them 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 saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

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 taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth 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 he took the damsel by the hand, and 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 of the age of twelve years. 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 man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
