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

Llegaron al otro lado del mar, a la tierra de los Gadarenos.

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

Cuando Jesús salió de la barca, enseguida se acercó a El, de entre los sepulcros, un hombre con un espíritu inmundo,

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

que tenía su morada entre los sepulcros; y nadie podía ya atarlo ni aun con cadenas;

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.

porque muchas veces había sido atado con grillos y cadenas, pero él había roto las cadenas y destrozado los grillos, y nadie era tan fuerte como para dominarlo.

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

Siempre, noche y día, andaba entre los sepulcros y en los montes dando gritos e hiriéndose con piedras.

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

Cuando vio a Jesús de lejos, corrió y se postró delante de El;

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!”

y gritando a gran voz, dijo: “¿Qué tengo yo que ver contigo, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo ? Te imploro por Dios que no me atormentes.”

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

Porque Jesús le decía: “Sal del hombre, espíritu inmundo.”

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

“¿Cómo te llamas?” le preguntó Jesús. “Me llamo Legión,” respondió, “porque somos muchos.”

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

Le rogaba entonces con insistencia que no los enviara fuera de la tierra.

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

Había allí una gran manada de cerdos paciendo junto al monte.

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

Y los demonios Le rogaron, diciendo: “Envíanos a los cerdos para que entremos en ellos.”

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.

Jesús les dio permiso. Y saliendo los espíritus inmundos, entraron en los cerdos; y la manada, unos 2, 000, se precipitó por un despeñadero al mar, y en el mar se ahogaron.

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.

Los que cuidaban los cerdos huyeron y lo contaron en la ciudad y por los campos. Y la gente vino a ver qué era lo que había sucedido.

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.

Vinieron a Jesús, y vieron al que había estado endemoniado, sentado, vestido y en su cabal juicio, el mismo que había tenido la legión; y tuvieron miedo.

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.

Los que lo habían visto les describieron cómo le había sucedido esto al endemoniado, y lo de los cerdos.

17 T hen they asked Jesus to leave their country.

Y comenzaron a rogar a Jesús que se fuera de su región.

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

Al entrar El en la barca, el que había estado endemoniado Le rogaba que lo dejara ir con El.

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.”

Pero Jesús no se lo permitió, sino que le dijo: “Vete a tu casa, a los tuyos, y cuéntales cuán grandes cosas el Señor ha hecho por ti, y cómo tuvo misericordia de ti.”

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

Y él se fue, y empezó a proclamar en Decápolis cuán grandes cosas Jesús había hecho por él; y todos se quedaban maravillados. Jairo Ruega por su Hija

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.

Cuando Jesús pasó otra vez en la barca al otro lado, se reunió una gran multitud alrededor de El; así que El se quedó junto al mar.

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.

Y vino uno de los oficiales de la sinagoga, llamado Jairo, y al ver a Jesús, se postró a Sus pies,

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.”

y Le rogaba con insistencia: “Mi hijita está al borde de la muerte; Te ruego que vengas y pongas las manos sobre ella para que sane y viva.”

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

Jesús fue con él; y una gran multitud Lo seguía y oprimía. Jesús Sana a una Mujer

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

Había una mujer que padecía de flujo de sangre por doce años.

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.

Había sufrido mucho a manos de muchos médicos, y había gastado todo lo que tenía sin provecho alguno, sino que al contrario, había empeorado.

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

Cuando ella oyó hablar de Jesús, se llegó a El por detrás entre la multitud y tocó Su manto.

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

Porque decía: “Si tan sólo toco Sus ropas, sanaré.”

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

Al instante la fuente de su sangre se secó, y sintió en su cuerpo que estaba curada de su aflicción.

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?”

Enseguida Jesús, dándose cuenta de que había salido poder de El, volviéndose entre la gente, dijo: “¿Quién ha tocado Mi ropa?”

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

Y Sus discípulos Le dijeron: “Ves que la multitud Te oprime, y preguntas: ‘¿Quién Me ha tocado?’”

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

Pero El miraba a su alrededor para ver a la mujer que Lo había tocado.

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.

Entonces la mujer, temerosa y temblando, dándose cuenta de lo que le había sucedido, vino y se postró delante de El y Le dijo toda la verdad.

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

“Hija, tu fe te ha sanado,” le dijo Jesús; “vete en paz y queda sana de tu aflicción.” Jesús Resucita a la Hija de Jairo

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?”

Mientras El estaba todavía hablando, vinieron unos enviados de la casa del oficial de la sinagoga, diciendo: “Tu hija ha muerto, ¿para qué molestas aún al Maestro?”

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

Pero Jesús, oyendo lo que se hablaba, dijo al oficial de la sinagoga: “No temas, cree solamente.”

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

Y no permitió que nadie fuera con El sino sólo Pedro, Jacobo (Santiago) y Juan, hermano de Jacobo.

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.

Fueron a la casa del oficial de la sinagoga, y Jesús vio el alboroto, y a los que lloraban y se lamentaban mucho.

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

Cuando entró les dijo: “¿Por qué hacen alboroto y lloran? La niña no ha muerto, sino que está dormida.”

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.

Y se burlaban de El. Pero echando fuera a todos, Jesús tomó consigo al padre y a la madre de la niña, y a los que estaban con El, y entró donde estaba la niña.

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

Tomando a la niña por la mano, le dijo: “Talita cum,” que traducido significa: “Niña, a ti te digo, ¡levántate!”

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

Al instante la niña se levantó y comenzó a caminar, pues tenía doce años. Y al momento todos se quedaron completamente atónitos.

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

Entonces les dio órdenes estrictas de que nadie se enterara de esto; y dijo que le dieran de comer a la niña.
