Luke 8
1 It happened soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the Kingdom of God. With him were the twelve,
And it came to pass thereafter, that He was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the Kingdom of God, and the Twelve [are] with Him,
2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;
and certain women who were healed of evil spirits and sicknesses, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,
3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward; Susanna; and many others; who provided for them from their possessions.
and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to Him from their substance.
4 When a large crowd came together, and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable.
And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming to Him, He spoke by an allegory:
5 "The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
“The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
And other fell on the rock, and having sprung up, it withered, through having no moisture.
7 Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.
And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, choked it.
8 Other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit one hundred times." As he said these things, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
And other fell on the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit a hundredfold.” Saying these things, He was calling, “He having ears to hear—let him hear.”
9 Then his disciples asked him, "What does this parable mean?"
And His disciples were questioning Him, saying, “What may this allegory be?”
10 He said, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'
And He said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in allegories, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
And this is the allegory: the seed is the word of God,
12 Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
and those beside the way are those hearing, then comes the Devil, and takes up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.
13 Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
And those on the rock: they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
And that which fell to the thorns: these are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and do not bear to completion.
15 That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and bring forth fruit with patience.
And that in the good ground: these are they who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.
16 "No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel, or puts [it] under a bed; but he puts [it] on a lampstand, that those coming in may see the light,
17 For nothing is hidden, that will not be revealed; nor anything secret, that will not be known and come to light.
for nothing is secret, that will not become visible, nor hid, that will not be known and become visible.
18 So consider carefully how you listen. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has."
See, therefore, how you hear, for whoever may have, there will be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seems to have will be taken from him.”
19 His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
And there came to Him His mother and brothers, and they were not able to get to Him because of the multitude,
20 It was told him by some saying, "Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you."
and it was told Him, saying, “Your mother and Your brothers stand outside, wishing to see You”;
21 But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it."
and He answering said to them, “My mother and My brothers! They are those who are hearing the word of God, and doing.”
22 Now it happened on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and 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 pass, on one of the days, that He Himself went into a boat with His disciples, and He said to them, “We may go over to the other side of the lake”; and they set forth,
23 But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
and as they are sailing He fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.
24 So they came to him, and awoke him, saying, "Master, master, we are dying." And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm.
And having come near, they awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we perish!” And He, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,
25 He said to them, "Where is your faith?" But they were terrified and astonished, saying to one another, "Who is this, then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?"
and He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they being afraid wondered, saying to one another, “Who, then, is this, that He even commands the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”
26 They arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes that is opposite Galilee,
27 And when he came out onto the land he was met by a certain man from the town who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and did not live in a house, but in the tombs.
and He having gone forth on the land, there met Him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and was not clothed with a garment, and was not abiding in a house, but in the tombs,
28 When he saw Jesus, he shouted, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, "What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me."
and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before Him, and with a loud voice, said, “What [regards] me and You, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I implore You, may You not afflict me!”
29 For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bands apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
For He commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and shackles—guarded, and breaking apart the bonds he was driven by the demons into the deserts.
30 Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He said, "Legion," for many demons had entered into him.
And Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons were entered into him,
and he was calling on Him that He may not command them to go away into the abyss, (Abyssos g12)
32 Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. He allowed them.
and there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they were calling on Him that He might permit them to enter into these, and He permitted them,
33 The demons came out from the man, and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned.
and the demons having gone forth from the man, entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.
34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the fields;
35 Then people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;
36 Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.
37 All the people of the surrounding region of the Geresenes asked him to leave them, for they were very much afraid; and he entered into the boat and returned.
And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes asked Him to go away from them, because they were pressed with great fear, and He having entered into the boat, turned back.
38 But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was imploring of Him to be with Him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 "Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you." He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
“Return to your house, and tell how God did great things to you”; and he went away through all the city proclaiming how Jesus did great things to him.
40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received Him, for they were all looking for Him,
41 And look, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet, and pleaded with him to come into his house,
and behold, there came a man whose name [is] Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on Him to come to his house,
42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the crowds pressed against him.
because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in His going away, the multitudes were thronging Him,
43 A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years (who had spent all her living on physicians) and could not be healed by any,
and a woman, being with a flow of blood for twelve years, who, having spent all her living on physicians, was not able to be healed by any,
44 came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
having come near behind, touched the fringe of His garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stood still.
45 Jesus said, "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the crowds press and jostle you."
And Jesus said, “Who [is] it that touched Me?” And all denying, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press You, and throng [You], and You say, Who [is] it that touched Me?”
46 But Jesus said, "Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me."
And Jesus said, “Someone touched Me, for I knew power having gone forth from Me.”
47 When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before Him, for what cause she touched Him declared to Him before all the people, and how she was healed instantly;
48 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
and He said to her, “Take courage, daughter, your faith has saved you, be going on to peace.”
49 While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue's house came, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher."
While He is yet speaking, there comes a certain one from the chief of the synagogue’s [house], saying to him, “Your daughter has died, do not harass the Teacher”;
50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, "Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed."
and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid, only believe, and she will be saved.”
51 When he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter in with him, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
And having come into the house, He permitted no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;
52 All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Do not weep. She is not dead, but sleeping."
and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and He said, “Do not weep, she did not die, but sleeps”;
53 They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
and they were deriding Him, knowing that she died;
54 But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, "Child, arise."
and He having put all forth outside, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, “Child, arise”;
55 Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
and her spirit came back, and she arose immediately, and He directed that there be given to her to eat;
56 Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
and her parents were amazed, but He charged them to say to no one what had come to pass.
