Lucas 8
Riveduta 1927
1Ed avvenne in appresso che egli andava attorno di città in città e di villaggio in villaggio, predicando ed annunziando la buona novella del regno di Dio;
2e con lui erano i dodici e certe donne che erano state guarite da spiriti maligni e da infermità: Maria, detta Maddalena, dalla quale erano usciti sette demoni,
3e Giovanna, moglie di Cuza, amministratore d’Erode, e Susanna ed altre molte che assistevano Gesù ed i suoi coi loro beni.
4Or come si raunava gran folla e la gente d’ogni città accorreva a lui, egli disse in parabola:
5Il seminatore uscì a seminar la sua semenza; e mentre seminava, una parte del seme cadde lungo la strada, e fu calpestato e gli uccelli del cielo lo mangiarono.
6Ed un’altra cadde sulla roccia; e come fu nato seccò perché non avea umore.
7Ed un’altra cadde in mezzo alle spine; e le spine, nate insieme col seme, lo soffocarono.
8Ed un’altra parte cadde nella buona terra; e nata che fu, fruttò il cento per uno. Dicendo queste cose, esclamava: Chi ha orecchi da udire, oda.
9E i suoi discepoli gli domandarono che volesse dir questa parabola.
10Ed egli disse: A voi è dato di conoscere i misteri del regno di Dio; ma agli altri se ne parla in parabole, affinché vedendo non veggano, e udendo non intendano.
11Or questo è il senso della parabola: Il seme è la parola di Dio.
12Quelli lungo la strada son coloro che hanno udito; ma poi viene il diavolo e porta via la Parola dal cuor loro, affinché non credano e non siano salvati.
13E quelli sulla roccia son coloro i quali, quando hanno udito la Parola, la ricevono con allegrezza; ma costoro non hanno radice, credono per un tempo, e quando viene la prova, si traggono indietro.
14E quel ch’è caduto fra le spine, son coloro che hanno udito, ma se ne vanno e restan soffocati dalle cure e dalle ricchezze e dai piaceri della vita, e non arrivano a maturità.
15E quel ch’è in buona terra, son coloro i quali, dopo aver udita la Parola, la ritengono in un cuore onesto e buono, e portan frutto con perseveranza.
16Or niuno, accesa una lampada, la copre con un vaso, o la mette sotto il letto; anzi la mette sul candeliere, acciocché chi entra vegga la luce.
17Poiché non v’è nulla di nascosto che non abbia a diventar manifesto, né di segreto che non abbia a sapersi ed a farsi palese.
18Badate dunque come ascoltate: perché a chi ha sarà dato; ma a chi non ha, anche quel che pensa d’avere gli sarà tolto.
19Or sua madre e i suoi fratelli vennero a lui; e non poteano avvicinarglisi a motivo della folla.
20E gli fu riferito: Tua madre e i tuoi fratelli son là fuori, che ti voglion vedere.
21Ma egli, rispondendo, disse loro: Mia madre e miei fratelli son quelli che ascoltano la parola di Dio e la mettono in pratica.
22Or avvenne, in un di quei giorni, ch’egli entrò in una barca co’ suoi discepoli, e disse loro: Passiamo all’altra riva del lago. E presero il largo.
23E mentre navigavano, egli si addormentò; e calò sul lago un turbine di vento, talché la barca s’empiva d’acqua, ed essi pericolavano.
24E accostatisi, lo svegliarono, dicendo: Maestro, Maestro, noi periamo! Ma egli, destatosi, sgridò il vento e i flutti che s’acquetarono, e si fe’ bonaccia.
25Poi disse loro: Dov’è la fede vostra? Ma essi, impauriti e maravigliati, diceano l’uno all’altro: Chi è mai costui che comanda anche ai venti ed all’acqua e gli ubbidiscono?
26E navigarono verso il paese dei Geraseni che è dirimpetto alla Galilea.
27E quando egli fu smontato a terra, gli si fece incontro un uomo della città, il quale era posseduto da demoni, e da lungo tempo non indossava vestito, e non abitava casa ma stava ne’ sepolcri.
28Or quando ebbe veduto Gesù, dato un gran grido, gli si prostrò dinanzi, e disse con gran voce: Che v’è fra me e te, o Gesù, Figliuolo dell’Iddio altissimo? Ti prego, non mi tormentare.
29Poiché Gesù comandava allo spirito immondo d’uscir da quell’uomo; molte volte infatti esso se n’era impadronito; e benché lo si fosse legato con catene e custodito in ceppi, avea spezzato i legami, ed era portato via dal demonio ne’ deserti.
30E Gesù gli domandò: Qual è il tuo nome? Ed egli rispose: Legione; perché molti demoni erano entrati in lui.
31Ed essi lo pregavano che non comandasse loro d’andar nell’abisso.
32Or c’era quivi un branco numeroso di porci che pascolava pel monte; e que’ demoni lo pregarono di permetter loro d’entrare in quelli. Ed egli lo permise loro.
33E i demoni, usciti da quell’uomo, entrarono ne’ porci; e quel branco si avventò a precipizio giù nel lago ed affogò.
34E quando quelli che li pasturavano videro ciò ch’era avvenuto, se ne fuggirono e portaron la notizia in città e per la campagna.
35E la gente uscì fuori a veder l’accaduto; e venuta a Gesù, trovò l’uomo, dal quale erano usciti i demoni, che sedeva a’ piedi di Gesù, vestito ed in buon senno; e s’impaurirono.
36E quelli che aveano veduto, raccontarono loro come l’indemoniato era stato liberato.
37E l’intera popolazione della circostante regione de’ Geraseni pregò Gesù che se n’andasse da loro; perch’eran presi da grande spavento. Ed egli, montato nella barca, se ne tornò indietro.
38E l’uomo dal quale erano usciti i demoni, lo pregava di poter stare con lui, ma Gesù lo licenziò, dicendo:
39Torna a casa tua, e racconta le grandi cose che Iddio ha fatte per te. Ed egli se ne andò per tutta la città, proclamando quanto grandi cose Gesù avea fatte per lui.
40Al suo ritorno, Gesù fu accolto dalla folla, perché tutti lo stavano aspettando.
41Ed ecco venire un uomo, chiamato Iairo, che era capo della sinagoga; e gittatosi ai piedi di Gesù, lo pregava d’entrare in casa sua,
42perché avea una figlia unica di circa dodici anni, e quella stava per morire. Or mentre Gesù v’andava, la moltitudine l’affollava.
43E una donna che avea un flusso di sangue da dodici anni ed avea spesa ne’ medici tutta la sua sostanza senza poter esser guarita da alcuno,
44accostatasi per di dietro, gli toccò il lembo della veste; e in quell’istante il suo flusso ristagnò.
45E Gesù domandò: Chi m’ha toccato? E siccome tutti negavano, Pietro e quelli ch’eran con lui, risposero: Maestro, le turbe ti stringono e t’affollano.
46Ma Gesù replicò: Qualcuno m’ha toccato, perché ho sentito che una virtù è uscita da me.
47E la donna, vedendo che non era rimasta inosservata, venne tutta tremante, e gittatasi a’ suoi piedi, dichiarò, in presenza di tutto il popolo, per qual motivo l’avea toccato e com’era stata guarita in un istante.
48Ma egli le disse: Figliuola, la tua fede t’ha salvata; vattene in pace.
49Mentr’egli parlava ancora, venne uno da casa del capo della sinagoga, a dirgli: La tua figliuola è morta; non incomodar più oltre il Maestro.
50Ma Gesù, udito ciò, rispose a Iairo: Non temere; solo abbi fede, ed ella sarà salva.
51Ed arrivato alla casa, non permise ad alcuno d’entrarvi con lui, salvo che a Pietro, a Giovanni, a Giacomo e al padre e alla madre della fanciulla.
52Or tutti piangevano e facean cordoglio per lei. Ma egli disse: Non piangete; ella non è morta, ma dorme.
53E si ridevano di lui, sapendo ch’era morta.
54Ma egli, presala per la mano, disse ad alta voce: Fanciulla, lèvati!
55E lo spirito di lei tornò; ella s’alzò subito, ed egli comandò che le si desse da mangiare.
56E i gentori di lei sbigottirono: ma egli ordinò loro di non dire ad alcuno quel che era accenuto.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y ACONTECIÓ después, que él caminaba por todas las ciudades y aldeas, predicando y anunciando el evangelio del reino de Dios, y los doce con él,
2Y algunas mujeres que habían sido curadas de malos espíritus y de enfermedades: María, que se llamaba Magdalena, de la cual habían salido siete demonios,
3Y Juana, mujer de Chuza, procurador de Herodes, y Susana, y otras muchas que le servían de sus haciendas.
4Y como se juntó una grande compañía, y los que estaban en cada ciudad vinieron á él, dijo por una parábola:
5Uno que sembraba, salió á sembrar su simiente; y sembrando, una parte cayó junto al camino, y fué hollada; y las aves del cielo la comieron.
6Y otra parte cayó sobre la piedra; y nacida, se secó, porque no tenía humedad.
7Y otra parte cayó entre las espinas; y naciendo las espinas juntamente, la ahogaron.
8Y otra parte cayó en buena tierra, y cuando fué nacida, llevó fruto á ciento por uno. Diciendo estas cosas clamaba: El que tiene oídos para oir, oiga.
9Y sus discípulos le preguntaron, diciendo, qué era esta parábola.
10Y él dijo: A vosotros es dado conocer los misterios del reino de Dios; mas á los otros por parábolas, para que viendo no vean, y oyendo no entiendan.
11Es pues ésta la parábola: La simiente es la palabra de Dios.
12Y los de junto al camino, éstos son los que oyen; y luego viene el diablo, y quita la palabra de su corazón, porque no crean y se salven.
13Y los de sobre la piedra, son los que habiendo oído, reciben la palabra con gozo; mas éstos no tienen raíces; que á tiempo creen, y en el tiempo de la tentación se apartan.
14Y la que cayó entre las espinas, éstos son los que oyeron; mas yéndose, son ahogados de los cuidados y de las riquezas y de los pasatiempos de la vida, y no llevan fruto.
15Mas la que en buena tierra, éstos son los que con corazón bueno y recto retienen la palabra oída, y llevan fruto en paciencia.
16Ninguno que enciende la antorcha la cubre con vasija, ó la pone debajo de la cama; mas la pone en un candelero, para que los que entran vean la luz.
17Porque no hay cosa oculta, que no haya de ser manifestada; ni cosa escondida, que no haya de ser entendida, y de venir á luz.
18Mirad pues cómo oís; porque á cualquiera que tuviere, le será dado; y á cualquiera que no tuviere, aun lo que parece tener le será quitado.
19Y vinieron á él su madre y hermanos; y no podían llegar á él por causa de la multitud.
20Y le fué dado aviso, diciendo: Tu madre y tus hermanos están fuera, que quieren verte.
21El entonces respondiendo, les dijo: Mi madre y mis hermanos son los que oyen la palabra de Dios, y la ejecutan.
22Y aconteció un día que él entró en un barco con sus discípulos, y les dijo: Pasemos á la otra parte del lago. Y partieron.
23Pero mientras ellos navegaban, él se durmió. Y sobrevino una tempestad de viento en el lago; y henchían de agua, y peligraban.
24Y llegándose á él, le despertaron, diciendo: ¡Maestro, Maestro, que perecemos! Y despertado él, increpó al viento y á la tempestad del agua; y cesaron, y fué hecha bonanza.
25Y les dijo: ¿Qué es de vuestra fe? Y atemorizados, se maravillaban, diciendo los unos á los otros: ¿Quién es éste, que aun á los vientos y al agua manda, y le obedecen?
26Y navegaron á la tierra de los Gadarenos, que está delante de Galilea.
27Y saliendo él á tierra, le vino al encuentro de la ciudad un hombre que tenía demonios ya de mucho tiempo; y no vestía vestido, ni estaba en casa, sino por los sepulcros.
28El cual, como vió á Jesús, exclamó y se postró delante de él, y dijo á gran voz: ¿Qué tengo yo contigo, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo? Ruégote que no me atormentes.
29(Porque mandaba al espíritu inmundo que saliese del hombre: porque ya de mucho tiempo le arrebataba; y le guardaban preso con cadenas y grillos; mas rompiendo las prisiones, era agitado del demonio por los desiertos.)
30Y le preguntó Jesús, diciendo: ¿Qué nombre tienes? Y él dijo: Legión. Porque muchos demonios habían entrado en él.
31Y le rogaban que no les mandase ir al abismo.
32Y había allí un hato de muchos puercos que pacían en el monte; y le rogaron que los dejase entrar en ellos; y los dejó.
33Y salidos los demonios del hombre, entraron en los puercos; y el hato se arrojó de un despeñadero en el lago, y ahogóse.
34Y los pastores, como vieron lo que había acontecido, huyeron, y yendo dieron aviso en la ciudad y por las heredades.
35Y salieron á ver lo que había acontecido; y vinieron á Jesús, y hallaron sentado al hombre de quien habían salido los demonios, vestido, y en su juicio, á los pies de Jesús; y tuvieron miedo.
36Y les contaron los que lo habían visto, cómo había sido salvado aquel endemoniado.
37Entonces toda la multitud de la tierra de los Gadarenos alrededor, le rogaron que se fuese de ellos; porque tenían gran temor. Y él, subiendo en el barco, volvióse.
38Y aquel hombre, de quien habían salido los demonios, le rogó para estar con él; mas Jesús le despidió, diciendo:
39Vuélvete á tu casa, y cuenta cuán grandes cosas ha hecho Dios contigo. Y él se fué, publicando por toda la ciudad cuán grandes cosas había hecho Jesús con él.
40Y aconteció que volviendo Jesús, recibióle la gente; porque todos le esperaban.
41Y he aquí un varón, llamado Jairo, y que era príncipe de la sinagoga, vino, y cayendo á los pies de Jesús, le rogaba que entrase en su casa;
42Porque tenía una hija única, como de doce años, y ella se estaba muriendo. Y yendo, le apretaba la compañía.
43Y una mujer, que tenía flujo de sangre hacía ya doce años, la cual había gastado en médicos toda su hacienda, y por ninguno había podido ser curada,
44Llegándose por las espaldas, tocó el borde de su vestido; y luego se estancó el flujo de su sangre.
45Entonces Jesús dijo: ¿Quién es el que me ha tocado? Y negando todos, dijo Pedro y los que estaban con él: Maestro, la compañía te aprieta y oprime, y dices: ¿Quién es el que me ha tocado?
46Y Jesús dijo: Me ha tocado alguien; porque yo he conocido que ha salido virtud de mí.
47Entonces, como la mujer vió que no se había ocultado, vino temblando, y postrándose delante de él declaróle delante de todo el pueblo la causa por qué le había tocado, y cómo luego había sido sana.
48Y él le dijo: Hija, tu fe te ha salvado: ve en paz.
49Estando aún él hablando, vino uno del príncipe de la sinagoga á decirle: Tu hija es muerta, no des trabajo al Maestro.
50Y oyéndolo Jesús, le respondió: No temas: cree solamente, y será salva.
51Y entrado en casa, no dejó entrar á nadie consigo, sino á Pedro, y á Jacobo, y á Juan, y al padre y á la madre de la moza.
52Y lloraban todos, y la plañían. Y él dijo: No lloréis; no es muerta, sino que duerme.
53Y hacían burla de él, sabiendo que estaba muerta.
54Mas él, tomándola de la mano, clamó, diciendo: Muchacha, levántate.
55Entonces su espíritu volvió, y se levantó luego: y él mandó que le diesen de comer.
56Y sus padres estaban atónitos; á los cuales él mandó, que á nadie dijesen lo que había sido hecho.
King James Version
1And 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,
2And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
4And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
5A 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.
6And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8And 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.
9And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
10And 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.
11Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12Those 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.
13They 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.
14And 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.
15But 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.
16No 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.
17For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18Take 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.
19Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
20And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
21And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22Now 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.
23But 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.
24And 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.
25And 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.
26And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27And 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.
28When 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.)
30And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
31And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
32And 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.
33Then 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.
34When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35Then 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.
36They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37Then 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.
38Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39Return 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.
40And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41And, 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:
42For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45And 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?
46And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47And 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.
48And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
49While 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.
50But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51And 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.
52And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
World English Bible
1Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve,
2and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;
3and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who served them from their possessions.
4When 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.
6Some seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7Some fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
8Some fell into the good ground and grew and produced one hundred times as much fruit.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
9Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
10He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest it is given 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.
12Those 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.
13Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
14What 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 they bring no fruit to maturity.
15Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.
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.
17For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
18Be 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.”
19His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
20Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”
21But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
22Now on one of those days, 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.
23But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
24They came to him and awoke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are dying!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; then they ceased, and it was calm.
25He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, “Who is this then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
26Then they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27When 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.
28When 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!”
29For 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 bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
30Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
31They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.
32Now 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. Then he allowed them.
33The demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
34When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35People 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.
36Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
37All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. Then he entered into the boat and returned.
38But 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.
40When Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come into his house,
42for he had an only born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
43A 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,
44came behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak. Immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
45Jesus 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?’”
46But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”
47When 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.
48He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49While 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.”
50But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.”
51When 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.
52All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”
53They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
54But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”
55Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
56Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
