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;
And it came to passe afterwarde, that hee himselfe went through euery citie and towne, preaching and publishing the kingdome of God, and the twelue 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;
And certaine women, which were healed of euill spirites, and infirmities, as Mary which was called Magdalene, out of whom went seuen deuils,
3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, an official of Herod; and Susanna, and many others—these were providing for Him from their substance.
And Ioanna the wife of Chuza Herods steward, and Susanna, and many other which ministred vnto him of their substance.
4 Now when a large crowd had gathered, with people coming to Him from town after town, He spoke by a parable:
Nowe when much people were gathered together, and were come vnto him out of all cities, he spake by a parable.
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.
A sower went out to sowe his seede, and as he sowed, some fell by the wayes side, and it was troden vnder feete, and the foules of heauen deuoured it vp.
6 And some fell on the rock ledge, and upon sprouting it withered, because it had no moisture.
And some fell on the stones, and when it was sprong vp, it withered away, because it lacked moystnesse.
7 And some fell among thorns, and springing up together the thorns choked it.
And some fell among thornes, and the thornes sprang vp with it, and choked it.
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!”
And some fell on good ground, and sprang vp, and bare fruite, an hundreth folde. And as hee sayd these things, he cryed, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
9 Then His disciples asked Him saying, “What does this parable mean?”
Then his disciples asked him, demaunding what parable that was.
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.’
And he sayd, Vnto you it is giuen to know the secrets of ye kingdome of God, but to other in parables, that when they see, they shoulde not see, and when they heare, they should not vnderstand.
11 “Now here is the parable: The seed is the Word of God.
The parable is this, The seede is the worde of God.
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.
And they that are beside the way, are they that heare: afterward commeth the deuill, and taketh away the worde out of their hearts, least they should beleeue, and be saued.
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.
But they that are on the stones, are they which when they haue heard, receiue ye word with ioy: but they haue no rootes: which for a while beleeue, but in the time of tentation goe away.
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.
And that which fell among thornes, are they which haue heard, and after their departure are choked with cares and with riches, and voluptuous liuing, and bring forth no fruite.
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.”
But that which fell in good ground, are they which with an honest and good heart heare the worde, and keepe it, and bring forth fruite with patience.
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.
No man when he hath lighted a candle, couereth it vnder a vessell, neither putteth it vnder the bed, but setteth it on a candlesticke, that they that enter in, may see the light.
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.
For nothing is secret, that shall not be euident: neither any thing hid, that shall not be knowen, and come to light.
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.”
Take heede therefore how ye heare: for whosoeuer hath, to him shall be giuen: and whosoeuer hath not, from him shalbe taken euen that which it seemeth that he hath.
19 Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and they could not get near Him because of the crowd.
Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come neere to him for the preasse.
20 And it was told Him by some saying, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
And it was tolde him by certaine which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, and would see thee.
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!”
But he answered, and sayd vnto them, My mother and my brethren are these which heare the worde of God, and doe it.
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.
And it came to passe on a certaine day, that he went into a ship with his disciples, and he sayd vnto them, Let vs goe ouer vnto the other side of the lake. And they lanched forth.
23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. A windstorm descended on the lake, and they were being swamped and were in jeopardy.
And as they sayled, he fell a sleepe, and there came downe a storme of winde on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in ieopardie.
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!
Then they went to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we perish. And he arose, and rebuked the winde, and the waues of water: and they ceased, and it was calme.
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!”
Then he sayde vnto them, Where is your fayth? and they feared, and wondered among them selues, saying, Who is this that commandeth both the windes and water, and they obey him!
26 Then they sailed to the district of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
So they sailed vnto the region of the Gadarenes, which is ouer against Galile.
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.
And as he went out to land, there met him a certaine man out of the citie, which had deuils long time, and he ware no garment, neither abode in house, but in the graues.
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!”
And when he sawe Iesus, he cryed out and fell downe before him, and with a loude voyce sayd, What haue I to doe with thee, Iesus the Sonne of God the most High? I beseech thee torment me not.
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).
For he commanded ye foule spirit to come out of the man: (for oft times he had caught him: therefore he was bound with chaines, and kept in fetters: but he brake the bands, and was caried of the deuill into wildernesses.)
30 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion” (because many demons had gone into him).
Then Iesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he sayd, Legion, because many deuils were entred into him.
And they besought him, that he would not commaund them to goe out into the deepe. (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.
And there was there by, an hearde of many swine, feeding on an hill: and the deuils besought him, that he would suffer them to enter into them. So he suffered them.
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!
Then went the deuils out of the man, and entred into the swine: and the hearde was caried with violence from a steepe downe place into the lake, and was choked.
34 Well when the herders saw what had happened they ran away and reported it in the town and in the countryside.
When the heardmen sawe what was done, they fled: and when they were departed, they tolde it in the citie and in the countrey.
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.
Then they came out to see what was done, and came to Iesus, and found the man, out of whom the deuils were departed, sitting at the feete of Iesus, clothed, and in his right minde: and they were afrayd.
36 Also, the eyewitnesses reported to them how the demonized man was healed.
They also which saw it, tolde them by what meanes he that was possessed with the deuill, 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.
Then the whole multitude of the countrey about the Gadarenes, besought him that he would depart from them: for they were taken with a great feare: and he went into the ship, and returned.
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,
Then the man, out of whome the deuils were departed, besought him that hee might be with him: but Iesus 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.
Returne into thine owne house, and shewe what great things God hath done to thee. So hee went his way, and preached throughout all the citie, what great things Iesus had done vnto him.
40 Now it happened, when Jesus returned, that the crowd welcomed Him, because they were all waiting for Him.
And it came to passe, when Iesus was come againe, that the people receiued him: for they all waited 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,
And beholde, there came a man named Iairus, and he was the ruler of the Synagogue, who fell downe at Iesus feete, and besought him that he would come into 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.
For he had but a daughter onely, about twelue yeeres of age, and she lay a dying (and as he went, the people thronged 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—
And a woman hauing an yssue of blood, twelue yeeres long, which had spent all her substance vpon physicians, and could not be healed of any:
44 approaching from behind touched the border of His garment; and immediately the flow of her blood stopped!
When she came behind him, she touched the hemme of his garment, and immediatly her yssue of blood stanched.
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?’”
Then Iesus sayd, Who is it that hath touched me? When euery man denied, Peter sayd and they that were with him, Master, the multitude thrust thee, and tread on thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me?
46 But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, because I noticed power going out from me.”
And Iesus sayde, Some one hath touched me: for I perceiue that vertue is gone out of 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.
When the woman sawe that she was not hid, she came trembling, and fell downe before him, and tolde him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediatly.
48 So He said: “Courage, daughter, your faith has healed you. Go into peace.”
And he said vnto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath saued thee: go in 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.”
While he yet spake, there came one from the ruler of the Synagogues house, which sayde to him, Thy daughter is dead: disease not the Master.
50 But upon hearing it Jesus reacted by saying to him, “Don't be afraid; just believe and she will be healed.”
When Iesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Feare not: beleeue onely, and she shall be saued.
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.
And when he went into the house, he suffered no man to goe in with him, saue Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and the father and mother of the maide.
52 Now all were weeping and mourning for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.”
And all wept, and sorowed for her: but he sayd, Weepe not: for she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 They started ridiculing Him, knowing that she had died.
And they laught him to scorne, knowing that she was dead.
54 So He put them all outside, and grasping her hand He called, saying, “Child, arise!”
So he thrust them all out, and tooke her by the hand, and cryed, saying, Maide, arise.
55 Then her spirit returned, and she got right up! And He directed that she be given something to eat.
And her spirite came againe, and she rose straightway: and he comanded to giue her meate.
56 Her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
Then her parents were astonied: but hee commanded them that they should tell no man what was done.
