and they begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs; let us enter into them.”
13 At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
So he allowed them; the unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs, and they rushed down the steep hill into the sea, and about two thousand pigs drowned in the sea.
14 Those who fed the pigs fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.
Then those who were feeding the pigs ran away and reported what had happened in the city and in the countryside, and so people went out to see what had happened.

But Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go to your house and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you, and how he has shown you mercy.”
20 He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.

28 For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.”

36 But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid, only believe.”
But when Jesus overheard what they said, he said to the leader of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid. Just believe.”
37 He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

When he entered the house, he said to them, “Why are you upset and why do you weep? The child is not dead but sleeps.”

They laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the father of the child and the mother and those who were with him, and he went in where the child was.

He took the hand of the child and said to her, “Talitha, koum!” which being translated would be, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.”
