Luke 8
1 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;
And it came to pass afterward, that he journeyed through cities and villages, preaching and publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him,
2 and certain women, who had been cured from evil spirits and infirmities, —Mary, the one called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,
and certain women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,
3 and Joana, wife of Chuza steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, —who indeed were ministering unto them out of their possessions.
and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who afforded them aid from their substance.
4 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: —
And a great multitude collecting together, and people from the cities going out to him, he spoke by a parable:
5 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.
A sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way-side; and they were trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured them.
6 And, other, fell down upon the rock; and, growing, was withered, because it had not moisture.
And others fell upon rocky ground; and when they had sprung up they withered away, because they had no moisture.
7 And, other, fell and thorns; and, growing together, the thorns, choked it.
And others fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up with them, and choked them.
8 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.
And others fell upon good ground, and sprung up, and bore fruit, a hundred-fold. While saying these things, he cried aloud, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 But his disciples began to question him—What might, this very, parable be?
And his disciples asked him what this parable meant.
10 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.
And he said, To you it hath been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others [[these things are spoken]] in parables; that while seeing they may not see, and while hearing they may not understand.
11 Now the parable, is this—The seed, is, the word of God.
Now the meaning of the parable is this. The seed is the word of God.
12 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.
Those by the way-side are they that hear; then cometh the Devil and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
13 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.
Those on the rocky ground are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root; and for a while they believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 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.
And those seeds which fell among the thorns, these are they who, when they have heard, go away and are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 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.
But the seeds on the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, when they have heard the word, hold it fast, and bear fruit with constancy.
16 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.
And no one having lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.
17 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.
For nothing is secret, that will not be made manifest; nor hidden, that will not be known, and come to light.
18 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.
Take heed therefore how ye hear; for whoever hath, to him will be given; and whoever hath not, from him will be taken even what he seemeth to have.
19 And his mother and brethren came near unto him, and were unable to reach him, because of the multitude.
And his mother and his brothers came where he was, and could not get to him on account of the crowd.
20 And it was reported to him—Thy mother and thy brethren, are standing outside, desiring, to see, thee.
And word was brought to him, Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 But, he, answering, said unto them—My mother and my brethren, are, these—they who, the word of God, are hearing and doing.
And he answering said to them, My mother and my brothers are these, who hear the word of God, and do it.
22 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.
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a boat with his disciples, and said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake; and they put off.
23 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.
But as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 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.
And they came and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing! And he rose, and rebuked the wind, and the surging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 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.
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they were afraid, and wondered, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?
26 And they sailed down into the country of the Gerasenes, the which is over against Galilee.
And they sailed to the country of the Gergesenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 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.
And when he had landed, there met him a certain man out of the city who had demons, and for a long time had worn no clothes, and abode not in a house, but in the tombs.
28 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!—
And seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.
29 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.
For he was about to command the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for it had possessed him for a long time, and he had been kept bound and secured with chains and fetters; and bursting the bands, he had been driven by the demon into the wilderness.
30 And Jesus questioned him—What name hast thou? And, he, said—Legion! because many demons had entered into him.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; because many demons had entered into him.
31 And they were beseeching him that he would not order them, into the abyss, to depart. (Abyssos g12)
And they besought him not to command them to go away into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 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.
Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain; and they besought him to permit them to go into them. And he permitted them.
33 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.
And the demons coming out of the man went into the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.
34 And they who had been feeding them, seeing what had happened, fled, and carried tidings into the city, and into the country-places.
And the herdsmen, seeing what was done, fled, and told the news in the city and in the country.
35 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.
And they went out to see what had been done. And they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid.
36 And they who had seen it, reported unto them, how the demonized man was saved.
And they who had seen it told them how he that was possessed by demons was made well.
37 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.
And the whole multitude in the surrounding country of the Gergesenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he went on board a boat and returned.
38 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—
And the man out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying,
39 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.
Return to thy house, and tell what great things God hath done for thee. And he went and published through the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40 Now, when Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him back, for they were all expecting him.
And it came to pass when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.
41 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;
And lo! there came a man, named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he besought him to come into his house;
42 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.
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went, the multitudes thronged him.
43 And, a woman, with a flow of blood of twelve years standing, who indeed could, from no one, be cured,
And a woman who had had an issue of blood twelve years, and had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be cured by any one,
44 coming near behind, touched the fringe of his mantle; and, instantly, was stayed the flow of her blood.
came up behind and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her issue of blood ceased.
45 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.
And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied it, Peter and those with him said, Master, the multitudes are thronging thee, and pressing against thee.
46 But, Jesus, said—Some one touched me, for, I, took note of power, gone out from me.
But Jesus said, Some one touched me; for I perceived that power went out from me.
47 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!
And the woman, seeing that she was discovered, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was cured immediately.

And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace.
49 While yet he is speaking, there cometh one from the synagogue ruler’s, saying—Thy daughter, is dead: No further, be troubling the teacher.
While he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher any further.
50 But, Jesus, hearing, answered him—Do not fear! Only believe, and she shall be saved.
But Jesus hearing this, answered him, Fear not; only believe, and she will be made well.
51 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.
And going into the house, he suffered no one to go in with him but Peter and John and James, and the father of the maiden, and the mother.
52 And they were all weeping, and beating themselves, for her. And he said—Be not weeping; for she died not, but is sleeping.
And all were weeping, and lamenting for her. But he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeping.
53 And they were deriding him, knowing that she died.
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 But, he, grasping her hand, called aloud, saying—O girl! arise!
But he took hold of her hand, and called aloud, saying, Maiden, arise!
