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, in due course, that he was passing through, city by city and village by village, proclaiming, and delivering the glad-message of the kingdom of God, —and, the twelve, were 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 had been cured from evil spirits and infirmities, —Mary, the one 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 Joana, wife of Chuza steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, —who indeed were ministering unto them out of their possessions.
4 When a large crowd came together, and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable.
And, seeing that a great multitude were coming together, and they who from every city were journeying forth unto him, he spake through means of a parable: —
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, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell beside the pathway, and was trodden down; and, the birds of heaven, 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 down upon the rock; and, growing, was withered, because it had not moisture.
7 Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.
And, other, fell and thorns; and, growing together, the thorns, 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 into good ground; and, growing, brought forth fruit, a hundredfold. These things, saying, he went on to cry aloud—He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Then his disciples asked him, "What does this parable mean?"
But his disciples began to question him—What might, this very, parable 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—Unto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of God; but, unto the rest, in parables, —in order 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.
Now the parable, is this—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 pathway, are they who have heard; afterwards, cometh the adversary, and catcheth away the word from their heart, lest, believing, they should, 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 upon the rock, are they who, as soon as they hear, with joy, welcome the word; and, these, not having, root, are they who, for a season, believe, —and, in a season of testing, draw back.
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 in among the thorns fell, these, are they who have heard; and, by anxieties and wealth and pleasures of life being borne along, are choked up, and bear not to perfection.
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.
But, that in the good ground, these, are they who, indeed, in a noble and good heart having heard the word, hold fast, and bear fruit with endurance.
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 lit a lamp, covereth it up with a vessel, or, beneath a couch, putteth it; but, upon a lamp-stand, putteth it, that, they who come 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 there is no secret, which shall not be made, manifest; neither a hidden thing, which shall in anywise not be made known, or not come, where it can be seen.
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."
Be taking heed therefore how ye hear; for, whosoever shall have, it shall be given unto him; and, whosoever shall not have, even what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.
19 His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
And his mother and brethren came near unto him, and were unable to reach 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 reported to him—Thy mother and thy brethren, are standing outside, desiring, to see, thee.
21 But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it."
But, he, answering, said unto them—My mother and my brethren, are, these—they who, the word of God, are hearing 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, entered into a boat, and his disciples; and he said unto them—Let us pass over unto the other side of the lake. And they set sail.
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.
Now, as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And there came down a hurricane of wind upon the lake, and they began to be filled, and to be 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, coming near, they roused him up, saying—Master! Master! we perish! And, he, roused up, rebuked the wind, and the surging of the water; and they ceased, and it became 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 unto them—Where was your faith? But, struck with fear, they marvelled, saying one to another—Who then is, this, —that, even unto the winds, he giveth orders, and unto the water, and they hearken unto him.
26 They arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
And they sailed down into the country of the Gerasenes, the which is over against 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, when he went forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, having demons; and, for a considerable time, he had put on no garment, and, in a house, would not abide, but among 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."
But, seeing Jesus, he cried out aloud, and fell down before him, and, with a loud voice, said—What have I in common with thee, O Jesus, Son of [God] the Most High? I beg of thee—Do not torment 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 was about to charge the impure spirit to come out from the man. For, many times, had it snatched him away; and he used to be bound with chains and fetters, for a safe-guard, and was wont to break in pieces the bonds, and to be driven by the demon 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—What name hast thou? And, he, said—Legion! because many demons had entered into him.
And they were beseeching him that he would not order them, into the abyss, to depart. (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.
Now there was there, a herd of a good many swine, feeding in the mountain; and they besought him, that he would suffer them, into those, to enter; and he suffered 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, going forth from the man entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down the cliff, into the lake, and were choked.
34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
And they who had been feeding them, seeing what had happened, fled, and carried tidings into the city, and into the country-places.
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 went forth to see what had happened; and came unto Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone forth, sitting, clothed, and of sound mind, near the feet of Jesus, —and they were struck with fear.
36 Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
And they who had seen it, reported unto them, how the demonized man 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 one and all of the throng of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes, requested him, to depart from them; because, with a great fear, were they oppressed. And, he, entering into a boat, returned.
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, began to beg of him, that he might be with him; but he dismissed him, 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.
Be returning unto thy house, and telling forth what great things, God, for thee, hath done. And he departed, through all the city, proclaiming what great things, Jesus, had done for him.
40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
Now, when Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him back, for they were all expecting 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 lo! there came a man, whose name was Jairus, and, the same, was, a ruler of the synagogue, —and, falling down near the feet of Jesus, he began beseeching him to enter into 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-begotten daughter, about twelve years old, and, she, was dying. Now, as he withdrew, the multitudes, were hemming him in.
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, with a flow of blood of twelve years standing, who indeed could, from no one, be cured,
44 came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
coming near behind, touched the fringe of his mantle; and, instantly, was stayed the flow of her blood.
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, when all were denying, Peter said—Master! the multitudes, are hemming thee in, and pressing along.
46 But Jesus said, "Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me."
But, Jesus, said—Some one touched me, for, I, took note of power, gone out 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 seeing that she had not escaped notice, trembling, came, and, falling down before him, reported before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, 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—Daughter! thy faith, hath saved thee: Go thy way into 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 yet he is speaking, there cometh one from the synagogue ruler’s, saying—Thy daughter, is dead: No further, be troubling the teacher.
50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, "Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed."
But, Jesus, hearing, answered him—Do not fear! Only believe, and she shall 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, when he came into the house, he suffered no one to enter with him, save Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl, 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—Be not weeping; for she died not, but is sleeping.
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."
But, he, grasping her hand, called aloud, saying—O girl! arise!
55 Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
And her spirit returned, and she rose up instantly, and he ordered that something should be given her to eat.
56 Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
And her parents were beside themselves. But, he, charged them to tell, no one, what had happened.
