¹ And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

² And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

³ And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

⁴ And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

⁵ A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

⁶ And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

⁷ And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

⁸ And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹ And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

¹⁰ And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

¹¹ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

¹² Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

¹³ They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

¹⁴ And that which fell among thorns are they, which, 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 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

¹⁶ No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

¹⁷ For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

¹⁸ Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

¹⁹ Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.

²⁰ And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

²¹ And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

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.

²³ But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

²⁴ 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 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

²⁶ And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.

²⁷ And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

²⁸ 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 (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 brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)

³⁰ And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

³¹ And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.

³² And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

³³ Then went the devils 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 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

³⁵ Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

³⁶ They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.

³⁷ 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 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

³⁹ Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

⁴⁰ And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

⁴¹ And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:

⁴² For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

⁴³ And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

⁴⁴ Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

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

⁴⁶ And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.

⁴⁷ 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 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

⁴⁹ While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

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

⁵¹ And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.

⁵² And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.

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

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

⁵⁵ And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.

⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

¹ And ^G2532 it came to pass ^G1096 afterward, ^{G1722 G2517} that ^G2532 he ^G846 went ^G1353 throughout every ^G2596 city ^G4172 and ^G2532 village, ^G2968 preaching ^G2784 and ^G2532 shewing the glad tidings ^G2097 of the kingdom ^G932 of God: ^G2316 and ^G2532 the twelve ^G1427 were with ^G4862 him, ^G846

² And ^G2532 certain ^G5100 women, ^G1135 which ^G3739 had been ^G2258 healed ^G2323 of ^G575 evil ^G4190 spirits ^G4151 and ^G2532 infirmities, ^G769 Mary ^G3137 called ^G2564 Magdalene, ^G3094 out of ^G575 whom ^G3739 went ^G1831 seven ^G2033 devils, ^G1140

³ And ^G2532 Joanna ^G2489 the wife ^G1135 of Chuza ^G5529 Herod's ^G2264 steward, ^G2012 and ^G2532 Susanna, ^G4677 and ^G2532 many ^G4183 others, ^G2087 which ^G3748 ministered ^G1247 unto him ^G846 of ^G575 their ^G846 substance. ^G5224

⁴ And ^G1161 when much ^G4183 people ^G3793 were gathered together, ^G4896 and ^G2532 were come ^G1975 to ^G4314 him ^G846 out of every ^G2596 city, ^G4172 he spake ^G2036 by ^G1223 a parable: ^G3850

⁵ A sower ^G4687 went out ^G1831 to sow ^G4687 his ^G846 seed: ^G4703 and ^G2532 as ^G1722 he ^G846 sowed, ^G4687 some ^{G3739 G3303} fell ^G4098 by ^G3844 the way side; ^G3598 and ^G2532 it was trodden down, ^G2662 and ^G2532 the fowls ^G4071 of the air ^G3772 devoured ^G2719 it. ^G846

⁶ And ^G2532 some ^G2087 fell ^G4098 upon ^G1909 a rock; ^G4073 and ^G2532 as soon as it was sprung up, ^G5453 it withered away, ^G3583 because ^G1223 it lacked ^{G3361 G2192} moisture. ^G2429

⁷ And ^G2532 some ^G2087 fell ^G4098 among ^{G1722 G3319} thorns; ^G173 and ^G2532 the thorns ^G173 sprang up with it, ^G4855 and choked ^{G638 G1970} it. ^G846

⁸ And ^G2532 other ^G2087 fell ^G4098 on ^G1909 good ^G18 ground, ^G1093 and ^G2532 sprang up, ^G5453 and bare ^G4160 fruit ^G2590 an hundredfold. ^G1542 And when he had said ^G3004 these things, ^G5023 he cried, ^G5455 He that hath ^G2192 ears ^G3775 to hear, ^G191 let him hear. ^G191

⁹ And ^G1161 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 asked ^G1905 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 What ^G5101 might ^G1498 this ^G3778 parable ^G3850 be? ^G1498

¹⁰ And ^G1161 he said, ^G2036 Unto you ^G5213 it is given ^G1325 to know ^G1097 the mysteries ^G3466 of the kingdom ^G932 of God: ^G2316 but ^G1161 to others ^G3062 in ^G1722 parables; ^G3850 that ^G2443 seeing ^G991 they might ^G991 not ^G3361 see, ^G991 and ^G2532 hearing ^G191 they might ^G4920 not ^G3361 understand. ^G4920

¹¹ Now ^G1161 the parable ^G3850 is ^G2076 this: ^G3778 The seed ^G4703 is ^G2076 the word ^G3056 of God. ^G2316

¹² Those ^G1161 by ^G3844 the way side ^G3598 are ^G1526 they that hear; ^G191 then ^G1534 cometh ^G2064 the devil, ^G1228 and ^G2532 taketh away ^G142 the word ^G3056 out of ^G575 their ^G846 hearts, ^G2588 lest ^G3363 they should believe ^G4100 and be saved. ^G4982

^{13 G1161} They on ^G1909 the rock ^G4073 are they, which, ^G3739 when ^G3752 they hear, ^G191 receive ^G1209 the word ^G3056 with ^G3326 joy; ^G5479 and ^G2532 these ^G3778 have ^G2192 no ^G3756 root, ^G4491 which ^G3739 for ^G4314 a while ^G2540 believe, ^G4100 and ^G2532 in ^G1722 time ^G2540 of temptation ^G3986 fall away. ^G868

¹⁴ And ^G1161 that which fell ^G4098 among ^G1519 thorns ^G173 are ^G1526 they, ^G3778 which, when they have heard, ^G191 go forth, ^G4198 and ^G2532 are choked ^G4846 with ^G5259 cares ^G3308 and ^G2532 riches ^G4149 and ^G2532 pleasures ^G2237 of this life, ^G979 and ^G2532 bring ^G5052 no ^G3756 fruit to perfection. ^G5052

¹⁵ But ^G1161 that on ^G1722 the good ^G2570 ground ^G1093 are ^G1526 they, ^G3778 which ^G3748 in ^G1722 an honest ^G2570 and ^G2532 good ^G18 heart, ^G2588 having heard ^G191 the word, ^G3056 keep ^G2722 it, and ^G2532 bring forth fruit ^G2592 with ^G1722 patience. ^G5281

^{16 G1161} No man, ^G3762 when he hath lighted ^G681 a candle, ^G3088 covereth ^G2572 it ^G846 with a vessel, ^G4632 or ^G2228 putteth ^G5087 it under ^G5270 a bed; ^G2825 but ^G235 setteth ^G2007 it on ^G1909 a candlestick, ^G3087 that ^G2443 they which enter in ^G1531 may see ^G991 the light. ^G5457

¹⁷ For ^G1063 nothing ^G3756 is ^G2076 secret, ^G2927 that ^G3739 shall ^G1096 not ^G3756 be made ^G1096 manifest; ^G5318 neither ^G3761 any thing hid, ^G614 that ^G3739 shall ^G1097 not ^G3756 be known ^G1097 and ^G2532 come ^G2064 abroad. ^{G1519 G5318}

¹⁸ Take heed ^G991 therefore ^G3767 how ^G4459 ye hear: ^G191 for ^G1063 whosoever ^{G3739 G302} hath, ^G2192 to him ^G846 shall be given; ^G1325 and ^G2532 whosoever ^{G3739 G302} hath ^G2192 not, ^G3361 from ^G575 him ^G846 shall be taken ^G142 even ^G2532 that which ^G3739 he seemeth ^G1380 to have. ^G2192

¹⁹ Then ^G1161 came ^G3854 to ^G4314 him ^G846 his mother ^G3384 and ^G2532 his ^G846 brethren, ^G80 and ^G2532 could ^G1410 not ^G3756 come ^G4940 at him ^G846 for ^G1223 the press. ^G3793

²⁰ And ^G2532 it was told ^G518 him ^G846 by certain which said, ^G3004 Thy ^G4675 mother ^G3384 and ^G2532 thy ^G4675 brethren ^G80 stand ^G2476 without, ^G1854 desiring ^G2309 to see ^G1492 thee. ^G4571

²¹ And ^G1161 he answered ^G611 and said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 them, ^G846 My ^G3450 mother ^G3384 and ^G2532 my ^G3450 brethren ^G80 are ^G1526 these ^G3778 which ^G3588 hear ^G191 the word ^G3056 of God, ^G2316 and ^G2532 do ^G4160 it. ^G846

²² Now ^G2532 it came to pass ^G1096 on ^G1722 a certain ^G3391 day, ^G2250 that ^G2532 he ^G846 went ^G1684 into ^G1519 a ship ^G4143 with ^G2532 his ^G846 disciples: ^G3101 and ^G2532 he said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 them, ^G846 Let us go over ^G1330 unto ^G1519 the other side ^G4008 of the lake. ^G3041 And ^G2532 they launched forth. ^G321

²³ But ^G1161 as they ^G846 sailed ^G4126 he fell asleep: ^G879 and ^G2532 there came down ^G2597 a storm ^G2978 of wind ^G417 on ^G1519 the lake; ^G3041 and ^G2532 they were filled ^G4845 with water, and ^G2532 were in jeopardy. ^G2793

²⁴ And ^G1161 they came to him, ^G4334 and awoke ^G1326 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Master, ^G1988 master, ^G1988 we perish. ^G622 Then ^G1161 he arose, ^G1453 and rebuked ^G2008 the wind ^G417 and ^G2532 the raging ^G2830 of the water: ^G5204 and ^G2532 they ceased, ^G3973 and ^G2532 there was ^G1096 a calm. ^G1055

²⁵ And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Where ^G4226 is ^G2076 your ^G5216 faith? ^G4102 And ^G1161 they being afraid ^G5399 wondered, ^G2296 saying ^G3004 one to another, ^{G4314 G240} What manner of man ^{G5101 G686} is ^G2076 this! ^G3778 for ^G3754 he commandeth ^G2004 even ^G2532 the winds ^G417 and ^G2532 water, ^G5204 and ^G2532 they obey ^G5219 him. ^G846

²⁶ And ^G2532 they arrived ^G2668 at ^G1519 the country ^G5561 of the Gadarenes, ^G1046 which ^G3748 is ^G2076 over against ^G495 Galilee. ^G1056

²⁷ And ^G1161 when he ^G846 went forth ^G1831 to ^G1909 land, ^G1093 there met ^G5221 him ^G846 out of ^G1537 the city ^G4172 a certain ^G5100 man, ^G435 which ^G3739 had ^G2192 devils ^G1140 long ^{G1537 G2425} time, ^G5550 and ^G2532 ware ^G1737 no ^G3756 clothes, ^G2440 neither ^{G2532 G3756} abode ^G3306 in ^G1722 any house, ^G3614 but ^G235 in ^G1722 the tombs. ^G3418

²⁸ When ^G1161 he saw ^G1492 Jesus, ^G2424 he cried out, ^G349 and ^G2532 fell down before ^G4363 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 with a loud ^G3173 voice ^G5456 said, ^G2036 What ^G5101 have I ^G1698 to do with ^G2532 thee, ^G4671 Jesus, ^G2424 thou Son ^G5207 of God ^G2316 most high? ^G5310 I beseech ^G1189 thee, ^G4675 torment ^G928 me ^G3165 not. ^G3361

²⁹ (For ^G1063 he had commanded ^{G3853 G3853} the unclean ^G169 spirit ^G4151 to come ^G1831 out of ^G575 the man. ^G444 For ^G1063 oftentimes ^{G4183 G5550} it had caught ^G4884 him: ^G846 and ^G2532 he was kept ^G5442 bound ^G1196 with chains ^G254 and ^G2532 in fetters; ^G3976 and ^G2532 he brake ^G1284 the bands, ^G1199 and was driven ^G1643 of ^G5259 the devil ^G1142 into ^G1519 the wilderness.) ^G2048

³⁰ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 asked ^G1905 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 What ^G5101 is ^G2076 thy ^G4671 name? ^G3686 And ^G1161 he said, ^G2036 Legion: ^G3003 because ^G3754 many ^G4183 devils ^G1140 were entered ^G1525 into ^G1519 him. ^G846

³¹ And ^G2532 they besought ^{G3870 G3870} him ^G846 that ^G3363 he would ^G2004 not ^G3363 command ^G2004 them ^G846 to go out ^G565 into ^G1519 the deep. ^G12

³² And ^G1161 there was ^G2258 there ^G1563 an herd ^G34 of many ^G2425 swine ^G5519 feeding ^G1006 on ^G1722 the mountain: ^G3735 and ^G2532 they besought ^G3870 him ^G846 that ^G2443 he would suffer ^G2010 them ^G846 to enter ^G1525 into ^G1519 them. ^G1565 And ^G2532 he suffered ^G2010 them. ^G846

³³ Then ^G1161 went ^G1831 the devils ^G1140 out of ^G575 the man, ^G444 and entered ^G1525 into ^G1519 the swine: ^G5519 and ^G2532 the herd ^G34 ran ^G3729 violently down ^G2596 a steep ^G2911 place into ^G1519 the lake, ^G3041 and ^G2532 were choked. ^G638

³⁴ When ^G1161 they that fed ^G1006 them saw ^G1492 what was done, ^G1096 they fled, ^G5343 and ^G2532 went ^G565 and told ^G518 it in ^G1519 the city ^G4172 and ^G2532 in ^G1519 the country. ^G68

³⁵ Then ^G1161 they went out ^G1831 to see ^G1492 what was done; ^G1096 and ^G2532 came ^G2064 to ^G4314 Jesus, ^G2424 and ^G2532 found ^G2147 the man, ^G444 out of ^G575 whom ^G3739 the devils ^G1140 were departed, ^G1831 sitting ^G2521 at ^G3844 the feet ^G4228 of Jesus, ^G2424 clothed, ^G2439 and ^G2532 in his right mind: ^G4993 and ^G2532 they were afraid. ^G5399

^{36 G1161} They also ^G2532 which saw ^G1492 it told ^G518 them ^G846 by what means ^G4459 he that was possessed of the devils ^G1139 was healed. ^G4982

³⁷ Then ^G2532 the whole ^G537 multitude ^G4128 of the country ^G4066 of the Gadarenes ^G1046 round about ^G4066 besought ^G2065 him ^G846 to depart ^G565 from ^G575 them; ^G846 for ^G3754 they were taken ^G4912 with great ^G3173 fear: ^G5401 and ^G1161 he ^G846 went up ^G1684 into ^G1519 the ship, ^G4143 and returned back again. ^G5290

³⁸ Now ^G1161 the man ^G435 out of ^G575 whom ^G3739 the devils ^G1140 were departed ^G1831 besought ^G1189 him ^G846 that he might be ^G1511 with ^G4862 him: ^G846 but ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 sent ^G630 him ^G846 away, ^G630 saying, ^G3004

³⁹ Return ^G5290 to ^G1519 thine own ^G4675 house, ^G3624 and ^G2532 shew ^G1334 how great things ^G3745 God ^G2316 hath done ^G4160 unto thee. ^G4671 And ^G2532 he went his way, ^G565 and published ^G2784 throughout ^G2596 the whole ^G3650 city ^G4172 how great things ^G3745 Jesus ^G2424 had done ^G4160 unto him. ^G846

⁴⁰ And ^G1161 it came to pass, ^G1096 that, when ^G1722 Jesus ^G2424 was returned, ^G5290 the people ^G3793 gladly received ^G588 him: ^G846 for ^G1063 they were ^G2258 all ^G3956 waiting for ^G4328 him. ^G846

⁴¹ And, ^G2532 behold, ^G2400 there came ^G2064 a man ^G435 named ^{G3739 G3686} Jairus, ^G2383 and ^G2532 he ^G846 was ^G5225 a ruler ^G758 of the synagogue: ^G4864 and ^G2532 he fell down ^G4098 at ^G3844 Jesus' ^G2424 feet, ^G4228 and besought ^G3870 him ^G846 that he would come ^G1525 into ^G1519 his ^G846 house: ^G3624

⁴² For ^G3754 he ^G846 had ^G2258 one only ^G3439 daughter, ^G2364 about ^G5613 twelve ^G1427 years of age, ^G2094 and ^G2532 she ^{G3778 G846} lay a dying. ^G599 But ^G1161 as ^G1722 he ^G846 went ^G5217 the people ^G3793 thronged ^G4846 him. ^G846

⁴³ And ^G2532 a woman ^G1135 having ^{G5607 G1722} an issue ^G4511 of blood ^G129 twelve ^G1427 years, ^{G575 G2094} which ^G3748 had spent ^G4321 all ^G3650 her living ^G979 upon ^G1519 physicians, ^G2395 neither ^G3756 could ^G2480 be healed ^G2323 of ^G5259 any, ^G3762

⁴⁴ Came ^G4334 behind ^G3693 him, and touched ^G680 the border ^G2899 of his ^G846 garment: ^G2440 and ^G2532 immediately ^G3916 her ^G846 issue ^G4511 of blood ^G129 stanched. ^G2476

⁴⁵ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 said, ^G2036 Who ^G5101 touched ^G680 me? ^G3450 When ^G1161 all ^G3956 denied, ^G720 Peter ^G4074 and ^G2532 they that were with ^G3326 him ^G846 said, ^G2036 Master, ^G1988 the multitude ^G3793 throng ^G4912 thee ^G4571 and ^G2532 press ^G598 thee, and ^G2532 sayest ^G3004 thou, Who ^G5101 touched ^G680 me? ^G3450

⁴⁶ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said, ^G2036 Somebody ^G5100 hath touched ^G680 me: ^G3450 for ^G1063 I ^G1473 perceive ^G1097 that virtue ^G1411 is gone ^G1831 out of ^G575 me. ^G1700

⁴⁷ And ^G1161 when the woman ^G1135 saw ^G1492 that ^G3754 she was ^G2990 not ^G3756 hid, ^G2990 she came ^G2064 trembling, ^G5141 and ^G2532 falling down before ^G4363 him, ^G846 she declared ^G518 unto him ^G846 before ^G1799 all ^G3956 the people ^G2992 for ^G1223 what ^G3739 cause ^G156 she had touched ^G680 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 how ^G5613 she was healed ^G2390 immediately. ^G3916

⁴⁸ And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto her, ^G846 Daughter, ^G2364 be of good comfort: ^G2293 thy ^G4675 faith ^G4102 hath made ^G4982 thee ^G4571 whole; ^G4982 go ^G4198 in ^G1519 peace. ^G1515

⁴⁹ While he ^G846 yet ^G2089 spake, ^G2980 there cometh ^G2064 one ^G5100 from ^G3844 the ruler of the synagogue's ^G752 house, saying ^G3004 to him, ^{G846 G3754} Thy ^G4675 daughter ^G2364 is dead; ^G2348 trouble ^G4660 not ^G3361 the Master. ^G1320

⁵⁰ But ^G1161 when Jesus ^G2424 heard ^G191 it, he answered ^G611 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Fear ^G5399 not: ^G3361 believe ^G4100 only, ^G3440 and ^G2532 she shall be made whole. ^G4982

⁵¹ And ^G1161 when he came ^G1525 into ^G1519 the house, ^G3614 he suffered ^G863 no ^G3756 man ^G3762 to go in, ^G1525 save ^G1508 Peter, ^G4074 and ^G2532 James, ^G2385 and ^G2532 John, ^G2491 and ^G2532 the father ^G3962 and ^G2532 the mother ^G3384 of the maiden. ^G3816

⁵² And ^G1161 all ^G3956 wept, ^G2799 and ^G2532 bewailed ^G2875 her: ^G846 but ^G1161 he said, ^G2036 Weep ^G2799 not; ^G3361 she is ^G599 not ^G3756 dead, ^G599 but ^G235 sleepeth. ^G2518

⁵³ And ^G2532 they laughed ^G2606 him ^G846 to scorn, ^G2606 knowing ^G1492 that ^G3754 she was dead. ^G599

⁵⁴ And ^G1161 he ^G846 put ^G1544 them all ^G3956 out, ^G1854 and ^G2532 took ^G2902 her ^G846 by the hand, ^G5495 and called, ^G5455 saying, ^G3004 Maid, ^G3816 arise. ^G1453

⁵⁵ And ^G2532 her ^G846 spirit ^G4151 came again, ^G1994 and ^G2532 she arose ^G450 straightway: ^G3916 and ^G2532 he commanded ^G1299 to give ^G1325 her ^G846 meat. ^G5315

⁵⁶ And ^G2532 her ^G846 parents ^G1118 were astonished: ^G1839 but ^G1161 he charged ^G3853 them ^G846 that they should tell ^G2036 no man ^G3367 what was done. ^G1096

¹ And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good tidings of the kingdom of God, and with him the twelve,

² and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

³ and Joanna the wife of Chuzas Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto them of their substance.

⁴ And when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable:

⁵ The sower went forth to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it.

⁶ And other fell on the rock; and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

⁷ And other fell amidst the thorns; and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.

⁸ And other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹ And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.

¹⁰ And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

¹¹ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

¹² And those by the way side are they that have heard; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.

¹³ And those on the rock `are' they who, when they have heard, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

¹⁴ And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of `this' life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

¹⁵ And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.

¹⁶ And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light.

¹⁷ For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest; nor `anything' secret, that shall not be known and come to light.

¹⁸ Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinketh he hath.

¹⁹ And there came to him his mother and brethren, and they could not come at him for the crowd.

²⁰ And it was told him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

²¹ But he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God, and do it.

²² Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake: and they launched forth.

²³ But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling `with water', and were in jeopardy.

²⁴ And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

²⁵ And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And being afraid they marvelled, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

²⁶ And they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee.

²⁷ And when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in `any' house, but in the tombs.

²⁸ And 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 the Most High God? I beseech thee, torment me not.

²⁹ For he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the demon into the deserts.

³⁰ And Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; for many demons were entered into him.

³¹ And they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss.

³² Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave.

³³ And the demons came out from the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.

³⁴ And when they that fed them saw what had come to pass, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

³⁵ And they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid.

³⁶ And they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with demons was made whole.

³⁷ And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them, for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned.

³⁸ But the man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,

³⁹ Return to thy house, and declare how great things God hath done for thee. And he went his way, publishing throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him.

⁴⁰ And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.

⁴¹ And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him to come into his house;

⁴² for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the multitudes thronged him.

⁴³ And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any,

⁴⁴ came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately the issue of her blood stanched.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush `thee'.

⁴⁶ But Jesus said, Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me.

⁴⁷ And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁸ And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

⁴⁹ While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's `house', saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.

⁵⁰ But Jesus hearing it, answered him, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made whole.

⁵¹ And when he came to the house, he suffered not any man to enter in with him, save Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the maiden and her mother.

⁵² And all were weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth.

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

⁵⁴ But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maiden, arise.

⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately: and he commanded that `something' be given her to eat.

⁵⁶ And her parents were amazed: but he charged them to tell no man what had been done.

---

¹ 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 `are' with him,

² and certain women, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,

³ and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to him from their substance.

⁴ And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile:

⁵ `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 `And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture.

⁷ `And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it.

⁸ `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 And his disciples were questioning him, saying, `What may this simile be?'

¹⁰ 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 `And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God,

¹² 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 `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 `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 `And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain `it', and bear fruit in continuance.

¹⁶ `And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put `it'; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put `it', that those coming in may see the light,

¹⁷ for nothing is secret, that shall not become manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest.

¹⁸ `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 And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude,

²⁰ and it was told him, saying, `Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;'

²¹ and he answering said unto them, `My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.'

²² 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 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 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 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 And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that is over-against Galilee,

²⁷ 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 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 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 And Jesus questioned him, saying, `What is thy name?' and he said, `Legion,' (because many demons were entered into him,)

³¹ and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss,

³² 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 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 And those feeding `them', having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told `it' to the city, and to the fields;

³⁵ 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 and those also having seen `it', told them how the demoniac was saved.

³⁷ 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 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 `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, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him,

⁴¹ and lo, there came a man, whose name `is' 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 because he had an only daughter about twelve years `old', and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him,

⁴³ 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 having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, `Who `is' it that touched me?' and all denying, Peter and those with him said, `Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng `thee', and thou dost say, Who `is' it that touched me!'

⁴⁶ And Jesus said, `Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from me.'

⁴⁷ 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 and he said to her, `Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.'

⁴⁹ While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's `house', saying to him -- `Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;'

⁵⁰ and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, `Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.'

⁵¹ 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 and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, `Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep;

⁵³ and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die;

⁵⁴ and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, `Child, arise;'

⁵⁵ and her spirit came back, and she arose presently, and he directed that there be given to her to eat;

⁵⁶ and her parents were amazed, but he charged them to say to no one what was come to pass.

---

¹ And it came to pass afterwards that *he* went through [the country] city by city, and village by village, preaching and announcing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve [were] with him,

² and certain women who had been healed of wicked spirits and infirmities, Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

³ and Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him of their substance.

⁴ And a great crowd coming together, and those who were coming to him out of each city, he spoke by parable:

⁵ The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the way, and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it up;

⁶ and other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it was dried up because it had not moisture;

⁷ and other fell in the midst of the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with [it] choked it;

⁸ and other fell into the good ground, and having sprung up bore fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹ And his disciples asked him [saying], What may this parable be?

¹⁰ And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

¹¹ But the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

¹² But those by the wayside are those who hear; then comes the devil and takes away the word from their heart that they may not believe and be saved.

¹³ But those upon the rock, those who when they hear receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a time, and in time of trial fall away.

¹⁴ But that that fell where the thorns were, these are they who having heard go away and are choked under cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

¹⁵ But that in the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

¹⁶ And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a couch, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light.

¹⁷ For there is nothing hid which shall not become manifest, nor secret which shall not be known and come to light.

¹⁸ Take heed therefore how ye hear; for whosoever has, to him shall be given, and whosoever has not, even what he seems to have shall be taken from him.

¹⁹ And his mother and his brethren came to him, and could not get to him because of the crowd.

²⁰ And it was told him [saying], Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, wishing to see thee.

²¹ But he answering said to them, My mother and my brethren are those who hear the word of God and do [it].

²² And it came to pass on one of the days, that *he* entered into a ship, himself and his disciples; and he said to them, Let us pass over to the other side of the lake; and they set off from shore.

²³ And as they sailed, he fell asleep; and a sudden squall of wind came down on the lake, and they were filled [with water], and were in danger;

²⁴ and coming to [him] they woke him up, saying, Master, master, we perish. But he, rising up, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.

²⁵ And he said to them, Where is your faith? And, being afraid, they were astonished, saying to one another, Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

²⁶ And they arrived in the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.

²⁷ And as he got out [of the ship] on the land, a certain man out of the city met him, who had demons a long time, and put on no clothes, and did not abide in a house, but in the tombs.

²⁸ But seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee torment me not.

²⁹ For he had commanded the unclean spirit to go out from the man. For very often it had seized him; and he had been bound, kept with chains and fetters; and breaking the bonds he was driven by the demon into the deserts.

³⁰ And Jesus asked him saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: for many demons had entered into him.

³¹ And they besought him that he would not command them to go away into the bottomless pit.

³² And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into those; and he suffered them.

³³ And the demons, going out from the man, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the precipice into the lake, and were choked.

³⁴ But they that fed [them], seeing what had happened, fled, and told [it] to the city and to the country.

³⁵ And they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and sensible, at the feet of Jesus. And they were afraid.

³⁶ And they also who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been healed.

³⁷ And all the multitude of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were possessed with great fear; and *he*, entering into the ship, returned.

³⁸ But the man out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying,

³⁹ Return to thine house and relate how great things God has done for thee. And he went away through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done for him.

⁴⁰ And it came to pass when Jesus returned, the crowd received him gladly, for they were all expecting him.

⁴¹ And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was [a] ruler of the synagogue, and falling at the feet of Jesus besought him to come to his house,

⁴² because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as he went the crowds thronged him.

⁴³ And a woman who had a flux of blood since twelve years, who, having spent all her living on physicians, could not be cured by any one,

⁴⁴ coming up behind, touched the hem of his garment, and immediately her flux of blood stopped.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, Who has touched me? But all denying, Peter and those with him said, Master, the crowds close thee in and press upon thee, and sayest thou, Who has touched me?

⁴⁶ And Jesus said, Some one has touched me, for *I* have known that power has gone out from me.

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

⁴⁸ And he said to her, [Be of good courage,] daughter; thy faith has healed thee; go in peace.

⁴⁹ While he was yet speaking, comes some one from the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher.

⁵⁰ But Jesus, hearing it, answered him saying, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made well.

⁵¹ And when he came to the house he suffered no one to go in but Peter and John and James and the father of the child and the mother.

⁵² And all were weeping and lamenting her. But he said, Do not weep, for she has not died, but sleeps.

⁵³ And they derided him, knowing that she had died.

⁵⁴ But *he*, having turned them all out and taking hold of her hand, cried saying, Child, arise.

⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and immediately she rose up; and he commanded [something] to eat to be given to her.

⁵⁶ And her parents were amazed; but he enjoined them to tell no one what had happened.

---

¹ It happened soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of the Kingdom of God. With him were the twelve,

² and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;

³ and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod's steward; Susanna; and many others; who ministered to them{TR reads "him" instead of "them"} from their possessions.

⁴ When a great multitude came together, and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable.

⁵ "The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.

⁶ Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

⁷ Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.

⁸ Other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit one hundred times." As he said these things, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

⁹ Then his disciples asked him, "What does this parable mean?"

¹⁰ He said, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'

¹¹ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

¹² Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.

¹³ Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.

¹⁴ That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

¹⁵ That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and bring forth fruit with patience.

¹⁶ "No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.

¹⁷ For nothing is hidden, that will not be revealed; nor anything secret, that will not be known and come to light.

¹⁸ Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn't have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has."

¹⁹ His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.

²⁰ It was told him by some saying, "Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you."

²¹ But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it."

²² Now it happened on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, "Let's go over to the other side of the lake." So they launched out.

²³ But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.

²⁴ They came to him, and awoke him, saying, "Master, master, we are dying!" He awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm.

²⁵ He said to them, "Where is your faith?" Being afraid they marveled, saying one to another, "Who is this, then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?"

²⁶ They arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.

²⁷ When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn't live in a house, but in the tombs.

²⁸ When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, "What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torment me!"

²⁹ For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bands apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.

³⁰ Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He said, "Legion," for many demons had entered into him.

³¹ They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.

³² Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. He allowed them.

³³ The demons came out from the man, and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned.

³⁴ When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

³⁵ People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

³⁶ Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.

³⁷ All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. He entered into the boat, and returned.

³⁸ But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

³⁹ "Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you." He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

⁴⁰ It happened, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.

⁴¹ Behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet, and begged him to come into his house,

⁴² for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.

⁴³ A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, and could not be healed by any,

⁴⁴ came behind him, and touched the fringe of his cloak, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.

⁴⁵ Jesus said, "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"

⁴⁶ But Jesus said, "Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me."

⁴⁷ When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁸ He said to her, "Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace."

⁴⁹ While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue's house came, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Don't trouble the Teacher."

⁵⁰ But Jesus hearing it, answered him, "Don't be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed."

⁵¹ When he came to the house, he didn't allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.

⁵² All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Don't weep. She isn't dead, but sleeping."

⁵³ They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴ But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, "Child, arise!"

⁵⁵ Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.

⁵⁶ Her parents were amazed, but he charged them to tell no one what had been done.

¹ And it came about, after a short time, that he went through town and country giving the good news of the kingdom of God, and with him were the twelve,

² And certain women who had been made free from evil spirits and diseases, Mary named Magdalene, from whom seven evil spirits had gone out,

³ And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's chief house-servant, and Susanna and a number of others, who gave him of their wealth for his needs.

⁴ And when a great number of people came together, and men from every town went out to him, he gave them teaching in the form of a story:

⁵ A man went out to put in seed, and while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside and it was crushed under foot, and was taken by the birds of heaven.

⁶ And some went on the rock, and when it came up it became dry and dead because it had no water.

⁷ And some went among thorns, and the thorns came up with it and it had no room for growth.

⁸ And some falling on good earth, came up and gave fruit a hundred times as much. And with these words he said in a loud voice, He who has ears, let him give ear.

⁹ And his disciples put questions to him about the point of the story.

¹⁰ And he said, To you is given knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to the others, they are given in stories, so that seeing, they may not see, and though they give hearing, the sense will not be clear to them.

¹¹ Now this is the point of the story: The seed is the word of God.

¹² Those by the side of the road are those who have given hearing; then the Evil One comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not have faith and get salvation.

¹³ And those on the rock are those who with joy give hearing to the word; but having no root, they have faith for a time, and when the test comes they give up.

¹⁴ And those which went among thorns are those who have given hearing, and go on their way, but they are overcome by cares and wealth and the pleasures of life, and they give no fruit.

¹⁵ And those in the good earth are those who, having given ear to the word, keep it with a good and true heart, and in quiet strength give fruit.

¹⁶ No man, when the light is lighted, puts a cover over it, or puts it under a bed, but he puts it on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.

¹⁷ For nothing is put out of view which will not be made clear, and nothing is secret of which the knowledge will not come to light.

¹⁸ So take care how you give hearing, for to him who has will be given, and from him who has not will be taken even what he seems to have.

¹⁹ And his mother and his brothers came to him, and they were not able to get near him because of the great number of people.

²⁰ And someone said to him, Your mother and your brothers are outside desiring to see you.

²¹ But he said to them in answer, My mother and my brothers are those who have knowledge of the word of God and do it.

²² Now it came about on one of those days that he got into a boat with his disciples; and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the water: and they put out the boat.

²³ But while they were sailing he went to sleep: and a storm of wind came down on the sea, and the boat became full of water and they were in danger.

²⁴ Then they came to him and, awaking him out of his sleep, said, Master, Master, destruction is near. And he, when he was awake, gave orders to the wind and the rolling waves, and the storm came to an end, and all was calm.

²⁵ And he said to them, Where is your faith? And fear and wonder overcame them, and they said to one another, Who then is this, who gives orders even to the winds and the water and they do what he says?

²⁶ And they came to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

²⁷ And when he had come to the land, there came to him a certain man from the town who had evil spirits; and for a long time he had had no clothing on, and was not living in a house but in the place of the dead.

²⁸ And when he saw Jesus, he gave a loud cry and went down on the earth before him and in a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Do not be cruel to me.

²⁹ For he gave an order to the evil spirit to come out of the man. For frequently it would take a grip of him: and he was kept under control, and prisoned with chains; but parting the chains in two, he would be sent by the driving of the evil spirit into waste places.

³⁰ And Jesus said to him, What is your name? And he said, Legion; for a number of spirits had gone into him.

³¹ And they made a request to him that he would not give them an order to go away into the deep.

³² Now there was a great herd of pigs in that place, getting food on the mountain: and the evil spirits made a request to him that he would let them go into the pigs, and he let them.

³³ And the evil spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs: and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the water and came to destruction.

³⁴ And when the men who took care of them saw what had come about, they went quickly and gave news of it in the town and the country.

³⁵ And they went out to see what had taken place, and they came to Jesus and saw the man out of whom the evil spirits had gone, seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, at the feet of Jesus; and fear came on them.

³⁶ And those who had seen it gave them an account of how the man who had the evil spirits was made well.

³⁷ And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes made a request to him to go away from them; for they were in great fear: and he got into a boat and went back.

³⁸ But the man from whom the evil spirits had gone out had a great desire to be with him, but he sent him away, saying,

³⁹ Go back to your house and let them have news of all the great things which God has done for you. And he went away, giving word through all the town of the great things which Jesus had done for him.

⁴⁰ And when Jesus went back, the people were glad to see him, for they were all waiting for him.

⁴¹ Then there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler in the Synagogue: and he went down at the feet of Jesus, desiring him to come to his house;

⁴² For he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was near to death. But while he was on his way, the people were pushing to be near him.

⁴³ And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had given all her money to medical men, and not one of them was able to make her well,

⁴⁴ Came after him and put her hand on the edge of his robe, and straight away the flowing of her blood was stopped.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, Who was touching me? And when they all said, It is not I, Peter and those who were with him said, Master, the people are pushing round you on every side.

⁴⁶ But Jesus said, Someone was touching me, for I had the feeling that power had gone out from me.

⁴⁷ And when the woman saw that she was not able to keep it secret, she came, shaking with fear, and falling down before him she made clear before all the people the reason for her touching him, and how she was made well straight away.

⁴⁸ And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.

⁴⁹ While he was still talking, someone came from the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, saying, Your daughter is dead; do not go on troubling the Master.

⁵⁰ But Jesus at these words said to him, Have no fear, only have faith, and she will be made well.

⁵¹ And when he came to the house he did not let any man go in with him, but only Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and her mother.

⁵² And all the people were weeping and crying for her; but he said, Do not be sad, for she is not dead, but sleeping.

⁵³ And they were laughing at him, being certain that she was dead.

⁵⁴ But he, taking her hand, said to her, My child, get up.

⁵⁵ And her spirit came back to her and she got up straight away: and he gave orders that food was to be given to her.

⁵⁶ And her father and mother were full of wonder, but he gave orders to them to say nothing about it to anyone.
