< Mark 5 >

1 And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
And he came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes.
2 And when he was come out of the boat, straightway there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
And as he went out of the ship, there met him from the place of sepulchres a man in whom was an unclean spirit.
3 who had his dwelling in the tombs: and no man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain;
And he dwelt in the place of sepulchres; and no one could confine him with chains:
4 because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him.
because, as often as he had been confined with fetters and chains, he had broken the chains and burst the fetters: and no one could subdue him.
5 And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
And continually, by night and by day, he was in the place of sepulchres, and cried and wounded himself with stones.
6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him;
And when he saw Jesus at a distance, he ran and worshipped him;
7 and crying out with a loud voice, he saith, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not.
and cried with a loud voice, and said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the High God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
8 For he said unto him, Come forth, thou unclean spirit, out of the man.
For he had said to him: Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he saith unto him, My name is Legion; for we are many.
And he demanded of him: What is thy name? And he replied to him: Our name is Legion; for we are many.
10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
And he besought him much, that he would not send him out of the country.
11 Now there was there on the mountain side a great herd of swine feeding.
And there was there by the mountain, a great herd of swine grazing.
12 And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
And the demons besought him, and said: Send us upon those swine, that we may enter them.
13 And he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the sea, [in number] about two thousand; and they were drowned in the sea.
And he permitted them. And those unclean spirits went out, and entered the swine: and the herd, of about two thousand, ran to a precipice, and fell into the sea, and were strangled in the waters.
14 And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came to see what it was that had come to pass.
And they who tended them, fled and told it in the city and in the villages: and they came out to see what had occurred.
15 And they come to Jesus, and behold him that was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, [even] him that had the legion: and they were afraid.
And: they came to Jesus, and saw him in whom the demons had been, him in whom had been the legion, clothed, and sober, and sitting; and they were afraid.
16 And they that saw it declared unto them how it befell him that was possessed with demons, and concerning the swine.
And those who had seen it told them how it occurred to him who had the demons, and also concerning the swine.
17 And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders.
And they began to request him, that he would go from their border.
18 And as he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with demons besought him that he might be with him.
And as he ascended the ship, the late demoniac requested that he might continue with him.
19 And he suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go to thy house unto thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and [how] he had mercy on thee.
And he suffered him not, but said to him: Go home to thy people, and tell them what the Lord hath done for thee, and hath compassionated thee.
20 And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men marvelled.
And he went, and began to publish in Decapolis, what Jesus had done for him. And they were all amazed.
21 And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat unto the other side, a great multitude was gathered unto him; and he was by the sea.
And when Jesus had passed by ship to the other side, great multitudes again assembled about him as he was on the shore of the sea.
22 And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jaïrus by name; and seeing him, he falleth at his feet,
And one of the rulers of the synagogue, whose name was Jairus, came, and, on seeing him, fell at his feet,
23 and beseecheth him much, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: [I pray thee], that thou come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live.
and besought him much, and said to him: My daughter is very sick; but come and lay thy hand on her, and she will be cured, and will live.
24 And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.
And Jesus went with him; and a great company attended him, and pressed upon him.
25 And a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years,
And a woman who had had a defluxion of blood twelve years,
26 and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
and who had suffered much from many physicians, and had expended all she possessed, and was not profited, but was even the more afflicted;
27 having heard the things concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment.
when she heard of Jesus, came behind him in the press of the crowd, and touched his garment
28 For she said, If I touch but his garments, I shall be made whole.
For she said: If I but touch his garment, I shall live.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.
And immediately the fountain of her blood dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.
30 And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power [proceeding] from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments?
And Jesus at once knew in himself, that virtue had issued from him: and he turned to the throng, and said: Who touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the throngs that press upon thee; and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
And he looked around, to see who had done this.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
And the woman, fearing and trembling, for she knew what had taken place in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
And he said to her: My daughter, thy faith hath made thee live: go in peace; and be thou healed of thy plague.
35 While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue’s [house], saying, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Teacher any further?
And while he was speaking, some domestics of the ruler of the synagogue came, and said: Thy daughter is dead: why therefore troublest thou the teacher?
36 But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe.
But Jesus heard the word they spoke, and said to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not; only believe.
37 And he suffered no man to follow with him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
And he suffered no one to go with him, except Simon Cephas, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he beholdeth a tumult, and [many] weeping and wailing greatly.
And they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he saw, that they were in a tumult, and weeping, and howling.
39 And when he was entered in, he saith unto them, Why make ye a tumult, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleepeth.
And he entered in and said to them: Why are ye in a tumult, and weep? The maid is not dead, but is asleep.
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all forth, taketh the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him, and goeth in where the child was.
And they laughed at him. But Jesus put them all out. And he took the maids father, and her mother, and those that accompanied him, and entered into where the maid lay.
41 And taking the child by the hand, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, Arise.
And he took the maid's hand, and said to her: Maiden, arise.
42 And straightway the damsel rose up, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed straightway with a great amazement.
And immediately the maid arose, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43 And he charged them much that no man should know this: and he commanded that [something] should be given her to eat.
And he enjoined it upon them much, that no one should know of it. And he directed, that they should give her to eat.
