Luke 8
1 It happened shortly afterwards that he began to go from town to town and village to village, preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God.
And it came to pass consecutively, that He was going through city and village, proclaiming and preaching the gospel of God, and the twelve along with Him.
2 The twelve were with him, and certain women whom he had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases. Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons have been driven,
And certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many other women, who used to minister to him out of their substance.
and Joanna the wife of Chuzas the steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many other women, who were accustomed to minister unto Him from those things belonging to them.
4 As a great crowd was gathering, and men of town after town kept restoring to him, he spoke a parable to them.
A great multitude being with Him, and coming to Him throughout every city, He spoke in a parable:
5 "A sower went out to sow his seed, and as he sowed some fell by the wayside, and was trodden under foot, and the wild birds ate it up.
A sower went out to sow his seed. And while he was sowing, some fell by the way, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 "Some other seed dropped on the rock, as soon as it grew it withered away, because it had no moisture.
And other fell on the rock; and springing up, withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 "Another part fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
And other fell in the midst of thorns, and the thorns growing together, choked it out.
8 "But some fell on good soil, and grew up, and brought forth fruit, a hundredfold." When he said this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear with, let him listen."
And other fell into good ground, and springing up, produced fruit, a hundredfold. Speaking these things, He cried out, Let the one having ears to hear, hear.
9 Then his disciples began to interrupt him, saying, "What does this parable mean?"
And His disciples asked Him saying, What might this parable be?
10 He answered. "To you it is given to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of God; But all others are taught in parables so that seeing they shall not see, and hearing they shall not hear.
And He said; To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 "This is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of God.
And this is the parable: The seed is the word of God.
12 "Those by the wayside are people who hear, but then comes the devil and carries off the word from their heart, so that they may not believe and not be saved.
And there are those who hear by the wayside; then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, lest they believing may be saved.
13 "Those on the rock are people who, upon hearing, receive the word with joy; but they have no root. For a time indeed they all believe, but in time of temptation they fall away.
And those on the stones are they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy; and they have no root in them, who believe for a time, and in time of temptation they fall away.
14 "And that which fell upon thorns is those who have heard, but as they go on their way of word is choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of life; so they bring no fruit of perfection.
And that which falleth among thorns, there are those who hear, and going forward, by the cares and riches and pleasures are choked out, and bring forth no fruit to perfection.
15 "And that in the good soil is those who have listened to the message and, in an honest and good heart, hold fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.
And that which is in the good ground, are those whosoever hearing the word in a beautiful and good heart, retain it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 "When he lights a lamp no one covers it with a vase or hides it under a bed; he puts it on a lamp-stand so whoever may behold the light.
But no one having lighted a candle covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but he places it on a candlestick, in order that those coming in may see the light.
17 "For is nothing hidden that shall not be disclosed; there is nothing secret which shall not be made known and come to the light.
For there is nothing hidden which shall not be made manifest; neither is there any thing concealed, which may not be made known and come into the light.
18 "Take heed, then, how you listen. for he who has, to him shall it be given, but from him who has not, shall be taken away even what he has."
Therefore see how you hear: for whosoever may have, it shall be given unto him; and whosoever may not have, it shall be taken from him, even that which he seems to have.
19 There came to him his mother and his brothers, and they could not reach him because of the crowd.
And His mother and His brothers came to Him, and were not able to reach Him on account of the crowd.
20 But some one told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you."
And it was told Him, Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, wishing to see thee.
21 "My mother and brothers," he answered, "are those who listen to the word of God and obey it."
And He responding said to them, My mother and my brothers are the ones hearing the word of God, and doing it.
22 Now it happened that one of these days he got into a boat, And him his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us cross to the other side of the lake."
And it came to pass on one of the days, He and His disciples went into a ship. And He said to them, Let us go to the other side of the lake. And they were embarked.
23 So they set sail. While they were sailing he fell asleep. And there fell on the lake a squall of wind, so that the boat began to fill, and they to be in deadly peril.
And they sailing, He was asleep: and a storm of wind came down into the lake; and they were being filled, and imperiled.
24 Then they came to him and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are lost!" Then he awoke, and rebuked the winds and the raging of the sea. They ceased, and there was a calm.
And they having come to Him, awakened Him, saying, Master, Master, we perish. And He having arisen, rebuked the wind and the wave of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 "Where is your faith?" he asked them, In their terror they were filled with amazement, and said to one another, "Who is this who commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him?"
And He said to them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid were astonished, saying to one another, Who then is this, because He commands the winds and the water, and they obey Him?
26 Then they put in at the country of Gadarenes, which is across from Galilee.
And they sailed into the country of the Gergesenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 When he landed here he was met by a certain townsman who was possessed by demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes and nor lived in any house, but in tombs.
And a certain man from the city, who a long time had demons, and did not wear clothing, and did not remain in the house, but in the tombs; met Him having come to the land.
28 When he saw Jesus he cried out, and fell down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed. "What have we to do with you, Jesus, you son of God Most High? I implore you to torment me not!"
And seeing Jesus, and crying out, he worshiped Him, and said with a loud voice; What is there to me and to thee, O Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I pray thee torment me not.
29 For Jesus was already commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him and held him, and they again and again kept him under guard, and put him in chains and fetters. But he would break his bonds asunder, as he was driven by the demon in to the desert.
For He commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man; for since a long time he had possessed him, and he was frequently bound, secured with chains and fetters, and smashing his bonds, was driven by the demons into the desert.
30 So Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he answered, "Legion" (for many demons had entered into him).
And Jesus asked him saying, What is thy name? And he said Legion; because many demons entered into him.
And he continued to intreat Him that He should not command them to depart into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Now there was a great herd of swine feeding on the hillside, and the demons begged him to give them leave to enter them. He gave them leave.
And there was a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain: and they continued to intreat Him that He should permit them to go into them. And He permitted them.
33 The demons came out of the man, and entered into the swine; the herd rushed violently down over the cliff into the lake.
And the demons having come out from the man, came into the swine: and the herd rushed down a precipice into the sea, and were strangled.
34 And those who saw what had happened fled and reported it in the town and the villages.
And the herders seeing that which took place, fled, and proclaimed it in the city and in the country.
35 Then the people came out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the demons had gone sitting clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus. And they were terrified.
And they came out to see that which had happened; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the demons had gone, 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 demon-possessed man had been saved.
And those seeing reported to them how the demonized man was saved.
37 And the whole populace of Gadarenes and the surrounding territory besought Jesus to go away from them; for they were terror-stricken. So he entered a boat and returned.
And all the multitudes of the surrounding country of the Gergesenes, asked Him to depart from them; because they were seized with great fear. And He having come Into the ship, returned.
38 But the man out of whom the demons had gone kept begging him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away saying,
And the man out of whom the demons had gone prayed to be with Him. And Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 "Return to your home, and tell them all that God has done for you." So he went away and throughout the whole city he published how much Jesus had done for him.
Return to thy own house, and relate, how many things God has done unto thee. And he departed throughout the whole city, preaching how many things Jesus did unto him.
40 And as Jesus returned the crowd welcomed him;
And it came to pass when Jesus returned, the multitude received Him; for they were all looking for Him.
41 for they were all waiting for him. Just then there came a man named Jarius, and he was ruler in the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come into his house;
Behold, a man to whom was the name Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and falling at the feet of Jesus, he continued to intreat Him to come into his house;
42 for he had only one daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he went the crowds continued to press in on him.
for there was an only daughter to him, of twelve years, and she was dying. And while He was going the multitudes were thronging Him.
43 And a woman who for twelve years had had a hemorrhage, and had spent on doctors all that she had, but none had cured her,
And a woman being in an issue of blood twelve years, who having expended all her living with physicians, was not able to be healed by any of them,
44 came close behind him, and touched the hem of his garment; and instantly the hemorrhage ceased.
and having come to Him behind, she touched the hem of His garment: and immediately the issue of blood ceased.
45 "Who is that touched me?" said Jesus and when everybody denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing upon you."
And Jesus said, Who is the one having touched me? And all denying, Peter and the disciples with Him said, The multitudes crowd thee and press upon thee, and dost thou say, Who is the one having touched me?
46 But Jesus said. "Some one did touch me; for I perceived that the power was proceeding out of me."
And Jesus said, Some one touched me: for I know the power went out from me.
47 Then the woman, who saw that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and falling down before him, stated before the people for what reason she had touched him, and how she had been instantly healed.
And the woman seeing that she was not concealed, came trembling, and falling down before Him, proclaimed on account of what cause she touched Him, in the presence of all the people, and how she was healed immediately.
48 "Daughter," he said "your faith has made you well, go on into peace."
And He said to her, Be of good cheer, daughter; thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
49 As he was speaking some one came from the house of the synagogue, saying. "Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Master."
And He yet speaking, a certain one comes from the house of the chief ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher:
50 But Jesus heard and answered. "Have no fear. Only believe, and she shall be restored."
and Jesus hearing, responded to him, saying, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be saved.
51 So he came to the house, and would not permit anyone to go in with him except Peter and Johnand James, and the father and Mother of the little girl.
And having come to the house, He did not suffer any to enter except Peter, John, and James, and the father and mother of the child.
52 The people were weeping and bewailing her, but he said. "Stop your wailing; for she is not dead, but asleep."
And they were all weeping, and wailing over her: and He said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 They began to laugh him to scorn, because they knew well that she was dead.
And they hooted at Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 But he took her by the hand and called to her, "Little daughter, rise!"
And having put all out, taking her by the hand, He spoke, saying, Child, arise.
55 And her spirit returned and instantly she stood up.
And her spirit returned, and she stood up immediately. And He commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
56 He bade them to get her some food. Her parents were amazed; but he forbade them to tell any one what had been done.
And her parents were delighted: and He commanded them to tell no one that which had taken place.
