< Luke 8 >

1 Now it happened after this that He started going around town by town, village by village, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God, and the twelve were with Him;

2 also certain women who had been healed of malignant spirits and infirmities: Mary (the one called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had gone out;

3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, an official of Herod; and Susanna, and many others—these were providing for Him from their substance.
ⲅ̅ⲛⲙ̅ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲁ ⲑⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲭⲟⲩⲍⲁ ⲡⲉⲡⲓⲧⲣⲟⲡⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲣⲱⲇⲏⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲥⲟⲩⲥⲁⲛⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲉⲩⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲩⲡⲁⲣⲭⲟⲛⲧⲁ.
4 Now when a large crowd had gathered, with people coming to Him from town after town, He spoke by a parable:
ⲇ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ. ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲟⲗⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ
5 “A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed some fell along the road, and it got trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.
ⲉ̅ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲧϫⲟ ⲉⲧϫⲉⲡⲉϥϭⲣⲟϭ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥϫⲟ. ⲁϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ϩⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲛⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲁⲩϩⲟⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛϩⲁⲗⲁⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲙⲟⲩ.
6 And some fell on the rock ledge, and upon sprouting it withered, because it had no moisture.
ⲋ̅ⲁϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲉ ⲉϫⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲣⲱⲧʾ ⲁⲩϣⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲁϭⲃⲉⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ.
7 And some fell among thorns, and springing up together the thorns choked it.
ⲍ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲣⲱⲧʾ ⲁⲩⲟϭⲧⲟⲩ.
8 The rest fell into the good ground, and growing up it produced fruit a hundredfold.” Upon saying these things He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
ⲏ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲣⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲩⲉⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲱⲃ. ⲛⲁⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅.
9 Then His disciples asked Him saying, “What does this parable mean?”
ⲑ̅ⲁⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ.
10 So He said: “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest only in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
ⲓ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲓ̈ⲱⲣϩ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲓ̈ⲙⲉ.
11 “Now here is the parable: The seed is the Word of God.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ. ⲡⲉϭⲣⲟϭ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
12 Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, in order that they not be saved, having believed.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲧϩⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉⲡ̅ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛϥ̅ϥⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩϩⲏⲧʾ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
13 Those on the rock ledge are the ones who, whenever they hear, receive the word with joy; yet these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of testing fall away.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲇⲉ (ⲛⲉ) ⲛⲁⲉⲓ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛⲥⲉϣⲉⲡⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ. ⲛⲁⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϣⲁⲩⲕⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
14 Now that which fell into the thorns: these are the ones who heard, yet as they go they are choked by cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲛⲙ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲇⲟⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲃⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲱϭⲧ̅ʾ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ.
15 But that on the good ground: these are the ones who having heard the word with a noble and good heart, hold on to it and produce fruit with perseverance.”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲧʾϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ.
16 Upon saying these things He called out: “He who has ears to hear, let him hear! No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but he sets it on a lamp stand, so that those who come in may see the light.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϫⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩϩⲏⲃⲥ̅ ⲛϥ̅ϩⲟⲃⲥϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲛⲁⲁⲩ ⲏ ⲛϥ̅ⲕⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁⲟⲩϭⲗⲟϭ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϣⲁϥⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲗⲩⲭⲛⲓⲁ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲧⲃⲏⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ.
17 Further, there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything concealed that will not be made known and come into the open.

18 So be careful how you hear: Because whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

19 Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and they could not get near Him because of the crowd.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉ͡ⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉϥⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲉϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ.
20 And it was told Him by some saying, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲡⲥⲁ ⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ.
21 But in answer He said to them, “My mother and my brothers are these, the ones who hear the word of God and do it!”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ. ⲧⲁⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲙⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲉϯⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ·
22 Now it happened on one of those days that He got into a boat with His disciples; and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲟⲓ̈ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲗⲓⲙⲛⲏ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲣ̅ϩⲱⲧʾ
23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. A windstorm descended on the lake, and they were being swamped and were in jeopardy.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲩⲣϩⲱⲧʾ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲱⲃϣ̅. ⲁⲩⲧⲣⲱⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧʾ ⲉⲧⲗⲓⲙⲛⲏ ⲁⲩϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϭⲓⲛⲇⲩⲛⲉⲩⲉ.
24 So they came and awakened Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then He got up and rebuked the wind and the waves of water—and they stopped, and there was a calm!
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ̅ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲫⲟⲉⲓⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲗⲟ ⲁⲩϫⲁⲙⲏ ϣⲱⲡⲉ.
25 So He said to them, “Where is your faith?” But being terrified they marveled, saying to each other: “Who can this be? Because He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲧⲱⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲉⲩⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲣ̅ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ϥⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲛⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ.
26 Then they sailed to the district of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.

27 Well when He stepped out on the land, a certain man of that town met Him, who had had demons for a long time—he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house, but among the tombs.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲁⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲛϩⲉⲛⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ. ⲉⲁϥⲣⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲙⲡϥ̅ϯϩⲟⲓ̈ⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲙⲡϥ̅ⲟⲩⲱϩ ϩⲛ̅ⲏⲉⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥϩⲛⲛⲉⲙϩⲁⲟⲩ.
28 When he saw Jesus he gave a yell, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice he said: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torment me!”
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥⲡⲁϩⲧϥ̅ ϩⲁⲣⲁⲧϥ̅. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲏ ϫⲉ. ⲉⲕⲟⲩⲉϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ. ϯⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲃⲁⲥⲁⲛⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈.
29 because He had commanded the unclean spirit to get out of the man (it had seized him many times—he would be bound with chains and shackles, being kept under guard; then bursting the bonds he would be driven by the demon into deserted places).
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲓⲗⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲛ̅ⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲧⲟⲛ ⲉⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲛⲉⲁϥⲣ̅ϩⲉⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉϣⲁϥⲧⲟⲣⲡϥ̅ ⲛⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲣϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲁⲗⲩⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ϩⲉⲛⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲉⲩϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁϥⲡⲱϩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϫⲁⲓ̈ⲉ.
30 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion” (because many demons had gone into him).
ⲗ̅ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲗⲉⲅⲉⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
31 And he kept imploring Him that He would not order them to go away into the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ (Abyssos g12)
32 Now a herd of many pigs was feeding there on the hillside; and they started begging Him that He would allow them to go into those; so He gave them permission.
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲁⲅⲉⲗⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲣ̅ⲣⲓⲣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲕⲁⲁⲩ.
33 Then the demons exited the man and entered the pigs—and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned!
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲛⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲣⲓⲣ. ⲁⲥϯⲡⲉⲥⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲧⲁⲅⲉⲗⲏ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧϣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧʾ ⲉⲧⲗⲓⲙⲛⲏ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩ.
34 Well when the herders saw what had happened they ran away and reported it in the town and in the countryside.
ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲡⲱⲧʾ ⲁⲩϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲥⲱϣⲉ.
35 So they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus; they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

36 Also, the eyewitnesses reported to them how the demonized man was healed.

37 Then the whole multitude from the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, because they were overcome by fear. So He got into the boat and returned.
ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉⲣⲓⲭⲱⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲛ̅ⲅⲉⲣⲁⲍⲏⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲧⲁϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲟⲓ̈ ⲁϥⲕⲧⲟϥ.
38 Now the man from whom the demons had gone out had started begging Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,

39 “Return to your house and recount how much God has done for you.” So he went his way and proclaimed all over town how much Jesus had done for him.

40 Now it happened, when Jesus returned, that the crowd welcomed Him, because they were all waiting for Him.

41 And then, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; he fell down at Jesus' feet and started begging Him to come to his house,

42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. Now as He was going, the crowds were pressing against Him.

43 And a woman—suffering with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent her whole livelihood on physicians, but could not be healed by any—

44 approaching from behind touched the border of His garment; and immediately the flow of her blood stopped!

45 So Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said: “Master, the people are pressing against you and crowding in, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
ⲙ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϫⲱϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ. ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ. ⲡⲥⲁϩ. ⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲛⲉⲧʾϩⲟϫϩⲉϫ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ⲉⲧʾⲑⲗⲓⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ.
46 But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, because I noticed power going out from me.”

47 Now when the woman saw that she could not hide, she came trembling, and falling down before Him she told Him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.

48 So He said: “Courage, daughter, your faith has healed you. Go into peace.”

49 While He was still speaking, here came someone from the synagogue ruler's house, saying to him: “Your daughter has died. Don't bother the teacher.”

50 But upon hearing it Jesus reacted by saying to him, “Don't be afraid; just believe and she will be healed.”
ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ. ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅.
51 When He arrived at the house, He allowed no one to go in except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.

52 Now all were weeping and mourning for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.”

53 They started ridiculing Him, knowing that she had died.

54 So He put them all outside, and grasping her hand He called, saying, “Child, arise!”

55 Then her spirit returned, and she got right up! And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56 Her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
