Luke 8
1 It happened soon afterward that Jesus began traveling around to different cities and villages, preaching and proclaiming the good news about the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him,
And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good tidings of the kingdom of God, and with him the twelve,
2 as well as certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had been driven out;
and certain women which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom seven devils had gone out,
3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's manager; Susanna; and many others, who, out of their possessions, provided for their needs.
and Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto them of their substance.
4 While a large crowd of people was gathering, and people were coming to him from town after town, he told a parable:
And when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable:
5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell beside the road and it was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
The sower went forth to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it.
6 Some fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
And other fell on the rock; and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up together with the seed and choked it.
And other fell amidst the thorns; and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.
8 But some fell on good soil and produced a crop that was a hundred times greater.” After Jesus had said these things, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
And other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 His disciples asked him what this parable meant.
And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.
10 He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but for others I speak in parables, so that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'
And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 The ones along the path are those who have heard, but then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so they may not believe and be saved.
And those by the way side are they that have heard; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
13 The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But they have no root; they believe for a while, and in a time of testing they fall away.
And those on the rock [are] they which, when they have heard, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 The seeds that fell among the thorns are people who hear the word, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of [this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But the seed that fell on the good soil, these are the ones who, hearing the word with an honest and good heart, hold it securely and bear fruit with patient endurance.
And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No one lights a lamp and covers it with a bowl or puts it under a bed. Rather, he puts it on a lampstand so that everyone who enters may see the light.
And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 For nothing is hidden that will not be made known, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come into the light.
For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest; nor [anything] secret, that shall not be known and come to light.
18 So listen carefully, for to the one who has, more will be given to him, but the one who does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinketh he hath.
19 Then his mother and brothers came to him, but they could not get near him because of the crowd.
And there came to him his mother and brethren, and they could not come at him for the crowd.
20 He was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
And it was told him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 But Jesus answered and said to them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
But he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 Now one day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” They set sail.
Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake: and they launched forth.
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep. A terrible windstorm came down on the lake, and their boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling [with water], and were in jeopardy.
24 Then Jesus' disciples came over to him and woke him up, saying, “Master! Master! We are about to die!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” and they were afraid. While they were afraid they were also amazed, and they asked one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And being afraid they marveled, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?
26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee.
And they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 When Jesus stepped on the land, he was met by a certain man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but among the tombs.
And when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had devils; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in [any] house, but in the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and he said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.”
And when 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 the Most High God? I beseech thee, torment me not.
29 For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and he would be driven by the demon into the wilderness.
For he commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the devil into the deserts.
30 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” and he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
And Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; for many devils were entered into him.
And they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Now a large herd of pigs was there feeding on the hillside. The demons begged him to let them go into them, and he gave them permission.
Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave.
33 So the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and was drowned.
And the devils came out from the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were choked.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and told about it in the city and countryside.
And when they that fed them saw what had come to pass, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
35 So 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. He was sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
And they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the devils were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid.
36 Then those who had seen it told them how the man who had been possessed by demons had been healed.
And they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with devils was made whole.
37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, for they were overwhelmed with great fear. So he got into the boat so they could start back.
And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them; for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged him to let him go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
But the man from whom the devils were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,
39 “Return to your home and give a full account of what God has done for you.” The man went on his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what Jesus had done for him.
Return to thy house, and declare how great things God hath done for thee. And he went his way, publishing throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him.
40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.
And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.
41 Behold, a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders of the synagogue, came and fell down at Jesus' feet, and he begged him to come to his house,
And 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 to come into his house;
42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve years of age, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds of people pressed together around him.
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the multitudes thronged him.
43 Now a woman was there who had been bleeding for twelve years and had spent all her money, and could not be healed by anyone.
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any,
44 She came behind Jesus and touched the edge of his coat, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately the issue of her blood stanched.
45 Jesus said, “Who was it who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds of people are all around you and they are pressing in against you.”
And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush [thee].
46 But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I know that power has gone out from me.”
But Jesus said, Some one did touch me: for I perceived that power had gone forth from me.
47 When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people she declared why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader's house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher any longer.”
While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s [house], saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 But when Jesus heard this, he answered Jairus, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be healed.”
But Jesus hearing it, answered him, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made whole.
51 When he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father of the child and her mother.
And when he came to the house, he suffered not any man to enter in with him, save Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the maiden and her mother.
52 Now all were mourning and wailing for her, but he said, “Do not weep; she is not dead but asleep.”
And all were weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 But they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 But he took her by the hand and called out, saying, “Child, get up!”
But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maiden, arise.
55 Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He ordered them to get her something to eat.
And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately: and he commanded that [something] be given her to eat.
56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
And her parents were amazed: but he charged them to tell no man what had been done.
