Mark 5
1 And they went across the strait of the sea into the region of the Gerasenes.
Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes.
2 And as he was departing from the boat, he was immediately met, from among the tombs, by a man with an unclean spirit,
As Jesus got out of the boat, he was immediately met by a man from the tombs who had an unclean spirit.
3 who had his dwelling place with the tombs; neither had anyone been able to bind him, even with chains.
This man lived among the tombs, and no one could bind him, not even with chains.
4 For having been bound often with shackles and chains, he had broken the chains and smashed the shackles; and no one had been able to tame him.
For he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he tore the chains apart and broke the shackles in pieces. No one was strong enough to subdue him.
5 And he was always, day and night, among the tombs, or in the mountains, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
Night and day, on the mountains and among the tombs, he would continually cry out and cut himself with stones.
6 And seeing Jesus from afar, he ran and adored him.
When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him.
7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said: “What am I to you, Jesus, the Son of the Most High God? I beseech you by God, that you not torment me.”
Then he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What do yoʋ have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure yoʋ by God, do not torment me.”
8 For he said to him, “Depart from the man, you unclean spirit.”
For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of the man, yoʋ unclean spirit!”
9 And he questioned him: “What is your name?” And he said to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
Then Jesus asked him, “What is yoʋr name?” He answered, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
10 And he entreated him greatly, so that he would not expel him from the region.
And he earnestly begged Jesus not to send them out of that region.
11 And in that place, near the mountain, there was a great herd of swine, feeding.
Now there was a large herd of pigs feeding there near the mountain.
12 And the spirits entreated him, saying: “Send us into the swine, so that we may enter into them.”
All the demons begged Jesus, “Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.”
13 And Jesus promptly gave them permission. And the unclean spirits, departing, entered into the swine. And the herd of about two thousand rushed down with great force into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
So he immediately gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs. Then the herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and were drowned in the sea.
14 Then those who pastured them fled, and they reported it in the city and in the countryside. And they all went out to see what was happening.
Those who had been feeding the pigs then ran off and reported it in the city and in the countryside. So the people went out to see what had happened.
15 And they came to Jesus. And they saw the man who had been troubled by the demon, sitting, clothed and with a sane mind, and they were afraid.
They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been possessed by demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind—the man who had been possessed by the “Legion”—and they were afraid.
16 And those who had seen it explained to them how he had dealt with the man who had the demon, and about the swine.
Those who had seen it told them what had happened to the man who had been possessed by demons, and they also told them about the pigs.
17 And they began to petition him, so that he would withdraw from their borders.
Then the people began begging Jesus to depart from their region.
18 And as he was climbing into the boat, the man who had been troubled by the demons began to beg him, so that he might be with him.
When Jesus got into the boat, the man who had been possessed by demons begged to go with him.
19 And he did not permit him, but he said to him, “Go to your own people, in your own house, and announce to them how great are the things that the Lord has done for you, and how he has taken pity on you.”
But Jesus did not permit him to do so. Instead, he said to him, “Go to yoʋr house and to yoʋr people, and report to them all that the Lord has done for yoʋ and how he has had mercy on yoʋ.”
20 And he went away and began to preach in the Ten Cities, how great were the things that Jesus had done for him. And everyone wondered.
So the man went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him, and all the people were amazed.
21 And when Jesus had crossed in the boat, over the strait again, a great crowd came together before him. And he was near the sea.
When Jesus had again crossed over in the boat to the other side of the sea, a large crowd was gathered around him, and he was by the sea.
22 And one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus, approached. And seeing him, he fell prostrate at his feet.
And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, whose name was Jairus. When he saw Jesus, he fell down at his feet
23 And he beseeched him greatly, saying: “For my daughter is near the end. Come and lay your hand on her, so that she may be healthy and may live.”
and begged him earnestly, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay yoʋr hands on her so that she may be healed, and she will live.”
24 And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him, and they pressed upon him.
So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed in on him.
25 And there was a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years.
Now there was a woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years.
26 And she had endured much from several physicians, and she had spent everything she owned with no benefit at all, but instead she became worse.
She had suffered a great deal under many physicians and had spent all she had, yet received no benefit from it, but had only grown worse.
27 Then, when she had heard of Jesus, she approached through the crowd behind him, and she touched his garment.
When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.
28 For she said: “Because if I touch even his garment, I will be saved.”
For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be healed.”
29 And immediately, the source of her bleeding was dried up, and she sensed in her body that she had been healed from the wound.
Immediately her flow of blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she had been healed from her affliction.
30 And immediately Jesus, realizing within himself that power that had gone out from him, turning to the crowd, said, “Who touched my garments?”
Jesus immediately perceived in himself that power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?”
31 And his disciples said to him, “You see that the crowd presses around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
His disciples said to him, “Yoʋ see the crowd pressing in on yoʋ, and yet yoʋ say, ‘Who touched me?’”
32 And he looked around to see the woman who had done this.
But he kept looking around to see who had done it.
33 Yet truly, the woman, in fear and trembling, knowing what had happened within her, went and fell prostrate before him, and she told him the whole truth.
Now the woman was frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, so she came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.
34 And he said to her: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be healed from your wound.”
Then Jesus said to her, “Daughter, yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ. Go in peace, and be healed of yoʋr affliction.”
35 While he was still speaking, they arrived from the ruler of the synagogue, saying: “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”
While he was still speaking, some people came from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said, “Yoʋr daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any further?”
36 But Jesus, having heard the word that was spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue: “Do not be afraid. You need only believe.”
But when Jesus heard what they said, he immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.”
37 And he would not permit anyone to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
From that point he did not allow anyone to accompany him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38 And they went to the house of the ruler of the synagogue. And he saw a tumult, and weeping, and much wailing.
When he came to the ruler of the synagogue's house, he saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly.
39 And entering, he said to them: “Why are you disturbed and weeping? The girl is not dead, but is asleep.”
Then he went in and said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.”
40 And they derided him. Yet truly, having put them all out, he took the father and mother of the girl, and those who were with him, and he entered to where the girl was lying.
And they began laughing at him. But he put them all outside, took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in to where the child was lying down.
41 And taking the girl by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha koumi,” which means, “Little girl, (I say to you) arise.”
Then he took hold of the child's hand and said to her, “Talitha koumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to yoʋ, arise.”
42 And immediately the young girl rose up and walked. Now she was twelve years old. And they were suddenly struck with a great astonishment.
Immediately the girl got up and began to walk (for she was twelve years old), and they were overcome with great amazement.
43 And he instructed them sternly, so that no one would know about it. And he told them to give her something to eat.
Then he gave them strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and he told them to give her something to eat.
