And they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes.
And they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes.
When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him.
And immediately on his going out of the ship there met him out of the tombs a man possessed by an unclean spirit,
This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.
who had his dwelling in the tombs; and no one was able to bind him, not even with chains;
For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him.
because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn asunder by him, and the fetters were shattered; and no one was able to subdue him.
Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.
And continually night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying and cutting himself with stones.
When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him.
But seeing Jesus from afar off, he ran and did him homage,
He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!”
and crying with a loud voice he says, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not.
For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”
For he said to him, Come forth, unclean spirit, out of the man.
Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”
“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”
And he asked him, What is thy name? And he says to him, Legion is my name, because we are many.
And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.
And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside.
Now there was there just at the mountain a great herd of swine feeding;
The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.”
and they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine that we may enter into them.
He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
And Jesus [immediately] allowed them. And the unclean spirits going out entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep slope, into the sea (about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.
Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.
And those that were feeding them fled and reported it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had taken place.
When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
And they come to Jesus, and they see the possessed of demons sitting [and] clothed and sensible, [him] that had had the legion: and they were afraid.
Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man — and told about the pigs as well.
And they that had seen [it] related to them how it had happened to the [man] possessed by demons, and concerning the swine.
Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.
And they began to beg him to depart from their coasts.
As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him.
And as he went on board ship, the man that had been possessed by demons besought him that he might be with him.
Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”
And he suffered him not, but says to him, Go to thine home to thine own people, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for thee, and has had mercy on thee.
And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and all wondered.

He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.”
and he besought him much, saying, My little daughter is at extremity; [I pray] that thou shouldest come and lay thy hands upon her so that she may be healed, and may live.

And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years.
And a certain woman who had had a flux of blood twelve years,
She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.
and had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent everything she had and had found no advantage from it, but had rather got worse,
When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,
having heard concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind and touched his clothes;
because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.”
for she said, If I shall touch but his clothes I shall be healed.
Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.
And immediately her fountain of blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she was cured from the scourge.
At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
And immediately Jesus, knowing in himself the power that had gone out of him, turning round in the crowd said, Who has touched my clothes?
“You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”
And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the crowd pressing on thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.
And he looked round about to see her who had done this.
Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth.
But the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had taken place in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”
And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith has healed thee; go in peace, and be well of thy scourge.
While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”
While he was yet speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's [house], saying, Thy daughter has died, why troublest thou the teacher any further?
But Jesus [immediately], having heard the word spoken, says to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not; only believe.
He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.
And he suffered no one to accompany him save Peter and James, and John the brother of James.
When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.
And he comes to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and sees the tumult, and people weeping and wailing greatly.
He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.”
And entering in he says to them, Why do ye make a tumult and weep? the child has not died, but sleeps.
But they laughed at him.
After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.
After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.
And they derided him. But he, having put [them] all out, takes with [him] the father of the child, and the mother, and those that were with him, and enters in where the child was lying.
He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).
And having laid hold of the hand of the child, he says to her, Talitha koumi, which is, interpreted, Damsel, I say to thee, Arise.
Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
And immediately the damsel arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with great astonishment.
