1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into
the country of the Gadarenes. 2 And when he was come out of the ship,
immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3 Who
had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with
chains: 4 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 And always, night
and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself
with stones. 6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped
him, 7 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 For he said unto him, Come
out of the man, thou unclean spirit. 9 And he asked him,
What is thy name? And he answered, saying,
My name is Legion: for we are many. 10 And he besought him much
that he would not send them away out of the country. 11 Now there was
there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. 12 And
all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter
into them. 13 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 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 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 And
they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with
the devil, and also concerning the swine. 17 And they began to
pray him to depart out of their coasts. 18 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 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 And he departed, and began
to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men
did marvel.
21 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 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 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 And
Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. 25 And
a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 And had
suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was
nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27 When she had heard of
Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28 For she
said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29 And
straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her
body that she was healed of that plague. 30 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 And
his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest
thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had
done this thing. 33 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 And
he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee
whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogues house
certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any
further? 36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith
unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only
believe. 37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter,
and James, and John the brother of James. 38 And he cometh to the
house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept
and wailed greatly. 39 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 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 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 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 And he charged them
straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be
given her to eat.
