1 D epois disso Jesus ia passando pelas cidades e povoados proclamando as boas novas do Reino de Deus. Os Doze estavam com ele,

¶ 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,

2 e também algumas mulheres que haviam sido curadas de espíritos malignos e doenças: Maria, chamada Madalena, de quem haviam saído sete demônios;

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

3 J oana, mulher de Cuza, administrador da casa de Herodes; Susana e muitas outras. Essas mulheres ajudavam a sustentá-los com os seus bens.

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

4 R eunindo-se uma grande multidão e vindo a Jesus gente de várias cidades, ele contou esta parábola:

¶ And when many people were gathered together and were come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:

5 “ O semeador saiu a semear. Enquanto lançava a semente, parte dela caiu à beira do caminho; foi pisada, e as aves do céu a comeram.

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.

6 P arte dela caiu sobre pedras e, quando germinou, as plantas secaram, porque não havia umidade.

And some fell upon the rock, and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.

7 O utra parte caiu entre espinhos, que cresceram com ela e sufocaram as plantas.

And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.

8 O utra ainda caiu em boa terra. Cresceu e deu boa colheita, a cem por um”. Tendo dito isso, exclamou: “Aquele que tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça!”

And 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.

9 S eus discípulos perguntaram-lhe o que significava aquela parábola.

And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

10 E le disse: “A vocês foi dado o conhecimento dos mistérios do Reino de Deus, mas aos outros falo por parábolas, para que “‘vendo, não vejam; e ouvindo, não entendam’.

And 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.

11 “ Este é o significado da parábola: A semente é a palavra de Deus.

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

12 A s que caíram à beira do caminho são os que ouvem, e então vem o Diabo e tira a palavra do seu coração, para que não creiam e não sejam salvos.

Those 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.

13 A s que caíram sobre as pedras são os que recebem a palavra com alegria quando a ouvem, mas não têm raiz. Crêem durante algum tempo, mas desistem na hora da provação.

Those 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.

14 A s que caíram entre espinhos são os que ouvem, mas, ao seguirem seu caminho, são sufocados pelas preocupações, pelas riquezas e pelos prazeres desta vida, e não amadurecem.

And 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.

15 M as as que caíram em boa terra são os que, com coração bom e generoso, ouvem a palavra, a retêm e dão fruto, com perseverança. A Candeia

But 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.

16 “ Ninguém acende uma candeia e a esconde num jarro ou a coloca debaixo de uma cama. Ao contrário, coloca-a num lugar apropriado, de modo que os que entram possam ver a luz.

No 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.

17 P orque não há nada oculto que não venha a ser revelado, e nada escondido que não venha a ser conhecido e trazido à luz.

For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest, neither any thing hid that shall not be known and come to light.

18 P ortanto, considerem atentamente como vocês estão ouvindo. A quem tiver, mais lhe será dado; de quem não tiver, até o que pensa que tem lhe será tirado”. A Mãe e os Irmãos de Jesus

Take 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.

19 A mãe e os irmãos de Jesus foram vê-lo, mas não conseguiam aproximar-se dele, por causa da multidão.

Then his mother and his brethren came to him and could not get to him for the crowd.

20 A lguém lhe disse: “Tua mãe e teus irmãos estão lá fora e querem ver-te”.

And it was told him by certain who said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand outside, desiring to see thee.

21 E le lhe respondeu: “Minha mãe e meus irmãos são aqueles que ouvem a palavra de Deus e a praticam”. Jesus Acalma a Tempestade

And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are those who hear the word of God and do it.

22 C erto dia Jesus disse aos seus discípulos: “Vamos para o outro lado do lago”. Eles entraram num barco e partiram.

¶ 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.

23 E nquanto navegavam, ele adormeceu. Abateu-se sobre o lago um forte vendaval, de modo que o barco estava sendo inundado, e eles corriam grande perigo.

But 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.

24 O s discípulos foram acordá-lo, clamando: “Mestre, Mestre, vamos morrer!” Ele se levantou e repreendeu o vento e a violência das águas; tudo se acalmou e ficou tranqüilo.

And 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.

25 “ Onde está a sua fé?”, perguntou ele aos seus discípulos. Amedrontados e admirados, eles perguntaram uns aos outros: “Quem é este que até aos ventos e às águas dá ordens, e eles lhe obedecem?” A Cura de um Endemoninhado

And 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.

26 N avegaram para a região dos gerasenos, que fica do outro lado do lago, frente à Galiléia.

And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.

27 Q uando Jesus pisou em terra, foi ao encontro dele um endemoninhado daquela cidade. Fazia muito tempo que aquele homem não usava roupas, nem vivia em casa alguma, mas nos sepulcros.

And 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.

28 Q uando viu Jesus, gritou, prostrou-se aos seus pés e disse em alta voz: “Que queres comigo, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Rogo-te que não me atormentes!”

When 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.

29 P ois Jesus havia ordenado que o espírito imundo saísse daquele homem. Muitas vezes ele tinha se apoderado dele. Mesmo com os pés e as mãos acorrentados e entregue aos cuidados de guardas, quebrava as correntes, e era levado pelo demônio a lugares solitários.

(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.)

30 J esus lhe perguntou: “Qual é o seu nome?” “Legião”, respondeu ele; porque muitos demônios haviam entrado nele.

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion, because many demons were entered into him.

31 E imploravam-lhe que não os mandasse para o Abismo.

And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the abyss.

32 U ma grande manada de porcos estava pastando naquela colina. Os demônios imploraram a Jesus que lhes permitisse entrar neles, e Jesus lhes deu permissão.

And 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.

33 S aindo do homem, os demônios entraram nos porcos, e toda a manada atirou-se precipício abaixo em direção ao lago e se afogou.

Then 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.

34 V endo o que acontecera, os que cuidavam dos porcos fugiram e contaram esses fatos, na cidade e nos campos,

When those that fed them saw what was done, they fled and went and told it in the city and in the country.

35 e o povo foi ver o que havia acontecido. Quando se aproximaram de Jesus, viram que o homem de quem haviam saído os demônios estava assentado aos pés de Jesus, vestido e em perfeito juízo, e ficaram com medo.

Then 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.

36 O s que o tinham visto contaram ao povo como o endemoninhado fora curado.

And those who saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the demons was saved.

37 E ntão, todo o povo da região dos gerasenos suplicou a Jesus que se retirasse, porque estavam dominados pelo medo. Ele entrou no barco e regressou.

Then 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.

38 O homem de quem haviam saído os demônios suplicava-lhe que o deixasse ir com ele; mas Jesus o mandou embora, dizendo:

Now the man out of whom the demons were departed besought him that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

39 “ Volte para casa e conte o quanto Deus lhe fez”. Assim, o homem se foi e anunciou na cidade inteira o quanto Jesus tinha feito por ele. O Poder de Jesus sobre a Doença e a Morte

Return 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.

40 Q uando Jesus voltou, uma multidão o recebeu com alegria, pois todos o esperavam.

¶ And it came to pass that when Jesus returned, the people received him, for they were all waiting for him.

41 E ntão um homem chamado Jairo, dirigente da sinagoga, veio e prostrou-se aos pés de Jesus, implorando-lhe que fosse à sua casa

And, 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;

42 p orque sua única filha, de cerca de doze anos, estava à morte. Estando Jesus a caminho, a multidão o comprimia.

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he went, the people thronged him.

43 E estava ali certa mulher que havia doze anos vinha sofrendo de hemorragia e gastara tudo o que tinha com os médicos; mas ninguém pudera curá-la.

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians but could not be healed by any,

44 E la chegou por trás dele, tocou na borda de seu manto, e imediatamente cessou sua hemorragia.

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

45 “ Quem tocou em mim?”, perguntou Jesus. Como todos negassem, Pedro disse: “Mestre, a multidão se aglomera e te comprime”.

Then 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?

46 M as Jesus disse: “Alguém tocou em mim; eu sei que de mim saiu poder”.

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

47 E ntão a mulher, vendo que não conseguiria passar despercebida, veio tremendo e prostrou-se aos seus pés. Na presença de todo o povo contou por que tinha tocado nele e como fora instantaneamente curada.

And 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.

48 E ntão ele lhe disse: “Filha, a sua fé a curou! Vá em paz”.

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

49 E nquanto Jesus ainda estava falando, chegou alguém da casa de Jairo, o dirigente da sinagoga, e disse: “Sua filha morreu. Não incomode mais o Mestre”.

While 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.

50 O uvindo isso, Jesus disse a Jairo: “Não tenha medo; tão-somente creia, e ela será curada”.

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

51 Q uando chegou à casa de Jairo, não deixou ninguém entrar com ele, exceto Pedro, João, Tiago e o pai e a mãe da criança.

And 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.

52 E nquanto isso, todo o povo estava se lamentando e chorando por ela. “Não chorem”, disse Jesus. “Ela não está morta, mas dorme.”

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

53 T odos começaram a rir dele, pois sabiam que ela estava morta.

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

54 M as ele a tomou pela mão e disse: “Menina, levante-se!”

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

55 O espírito dela voltou, e ela se levantou imediatamente. Então Jesus lhes ordenou que lhe dessem de comer.

Then her spirit returned, and she arose straightway, and he commanded to give her food.

56 O s pais dela ficaram maravilhados, mas ele lhes ordenou que não contassem a ninguém o que tinha acontecido.

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