Women Minister to Jesus

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,

1

Ministering Women

Soon afterwards, He began going around from one city and village to another, proclaiming and preaching the kingdom of God. 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,

2

and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: 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.

3

and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who were contributing to their support out of their private means.

4

The Parable of the Sower

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

4

Parable of the Sower

When a large crowd was coming together, and those from the various cities were journeying to Him, He spoke by way of a 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;

5

“The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road, and it was trampled under foot and the birds of the air ate it up.

6

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

6

“Other seed fell on rocky soil, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

7

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

7

“Other seed fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it out.

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.

8

“Other seed fell into the good soil, and grew up, and produced a crop a hundred times as great.” As He said these things, He would call out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

9

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

9

His disciples began questioning Him as to what this parable meant.

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.

10

And He said, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so 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.

11

“Now 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.

12

“Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will 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.

13

“Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation 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.

14

“The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

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.

15

“But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance.

16

The Lesson of the Lamp

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.

16

Parable of the Lamp

“Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come 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.

17

“For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will 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.

18

“So take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him.”

19

Jesus' Mother and Brothers

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

19

And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to 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.

20

And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.”

21

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

21

But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”

22

Jesus Stills the Storm

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.

22

Jesus Stills the Sea

Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.

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;

23

But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be 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.

24

They came to Jesus and woke Him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became 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?

25

And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” They were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”

26

Demons Cast into Pigs

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

26

The Demoniac Cured

Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite 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.

27

And when He came out onto the land, He was met by a man from the city who was possessed with demons; and who had not put on any clothing for a long time, and was not living 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.

28

Seeing Jesus, he cried out and fell before Him, and said in a loud voice, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me.”

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.

29

For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had seized him many times; and he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, and yet he would break his bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.

30

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

30

And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion”; for many demons had entered him.

31

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

31

They were imploring Him not to command them to go away into the abyss.

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.

32

Now there was a herd of many swine feeding there on the mountain; and the demons implored Him to permit them to enter the swine. And He gave them permission.

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.

33

And the demons came out of the man and entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

34

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

34

When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and reported it in the city and out in 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.

35

The people went out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they became frightened.

36

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

36

Those who had seen it reported to them how the man who was demon-possessed had been made well.

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.

37

And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes and the surrounding district asked Him to leave them, for they were gripped with great fear; and He got into a boat and 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,

38

But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him that he might accompany 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.

39

“Return to your house and describe what great things God has done for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

40

The Healing Touch of Jesus

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

40

Miracles of Healing

And as Jesus returned, the people welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for 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,

41

And there came a man named Jairus, and he was an official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus’ feet, and began to implore 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.

42

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against 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,

43

And a woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone,

44

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

44

came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her hemorrhage 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?

45

And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched Me?” And while they were all denying it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing in on You.”

46

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

46

But Jesus said, “Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that power had gone out of 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.

47

When the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before Him, and declared in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed.

48

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

48

And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; 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.

49

While He was still speaking, someone came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacher anymore.”

50

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

50

But when Jesus heard this, He answered him, “Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will 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.

51

When He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him, except Peter and John and James, and the girl’s father and mother.

52

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

52

Now they were all weeping and lamenting for her; but He said, “Stop weeping, for she has not died, but is asleep.”

53

And they derided him, knowing that she had died.

53

And they began laughing at Him, knowing that she had died.

54

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

54

He, however, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Child, arise!”

55

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

55

And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately; and He gave orders for something to be given her to eat.

56

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

56

Her parents were amazed; but He instructed them to tell no one what had happened.
