He heals a man possessed by a legion of demons
5
📚✭And they came over to the other side of the lake, into the country of the Gadarenes. 2 📚✭And when he came out of the boat, immediately, out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit met him. 3 📚✭The man had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, not even with chains. 4 📚Because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been pulled apart, and the shackles broken in pieces by him. And no one could tame him. 5 📚And night and day, he was always in the mountains and in the tombs crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6 📚✭But when he saw Jesus at a distance, he ran and worshipped him, 7 📚and cried out with a loud voice, and said, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I plead with you by God not to torment me”.
8 📚For he had said to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit”.
9 📚✭And he asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion, for we are many”.
10 📚✭And he begged him at length that he would not send them away out of the country. 11 📚Now a large herd of pigs was there feeding near the mountains.
12 📚And all the demons begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, so that we can go into them”.
13 📚And immediately Jesus gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down a steep place into the lake (there were about two thousand of them), and were drowned in the lake. 14 📚And those who had been feeding the pigs ran off, and told this in the city and countryside. And they went out to see what had happened. 15 📚✭And they came to Jesus and saw the one who had been demon-possessed, the one who had the legion, sitting there clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.
16 And those who had seen it told them what had happened to the demon-possessed man, and also about the pigs. 17 📚And they began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.
18 📚And when he got into the boat, the one who had been demon-possessed begged him that he might be with him. 19 📚However Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your own family, and tell them✭ what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he has had compassion on you”. 20 📚✭And he left and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.
He raises Jairus’ daughter from the dead and heals the woman with an issue of blood
21 📚✭And when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, many people gathered to him. And he was near the lake. 22 📚✭And, suddenly, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came to him, and seeing him, fell at his feet 23 📚and pleaded with him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Please come and place your hands on her, so that she may be healed and live”.
24 📚And Jesus went with him, and many people were following him and crowding him. 25 📚✭And a certain woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 📚✭and had suffered many things from many physicians, and had spent all that she had without getting any better, but got worse instead, 27 📚when she heard about Jesus, came in the crowd behind him and touched his cloak. 28 For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will get well”. 29 📚And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of that affliction.
30 📚✭And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 📚And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowds pressing around you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
32 And he looked around to see the one who had done this thing. 33 📚But the woman afraid and trembling, knowing what had happened inside her, came and fell down before him and told him all the truth.
34 📚✭And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed from your affliction”.
35 📚✭While he was still speaking, they came from the house of the ruler of the synagogue and said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”
36 📚✭As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid, only believe”.
37 📚And he allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38 📚And he came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the commotion and those who were loudly weeping and wailing. 39 📚And when he had come in, he said to them, “Why are you making this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep”.
40 📚And they laughed at him. But when he had put them all out, he took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying. 41 📚✭And he took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha cumi”, that is, by translation, “Little girl, I say to you, get up”.
