< Luke 8 >

1 And it came to pass afterward soon that He himself was traveling throughout city and village preaching and evangelising of the kingdom of God And the Twelve [were] with Him
Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,
2 and women certain who were cured from spirits evil and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene from whom demons seven had gone out,
as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 and Joanna wife of Chuza a steward of Herod and Susanna and others many who were ministering (to them *N+KO) (out of *N+kO) the possessions of theirs.
Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.
4 When were assembling now a crowd great and those from each town are coming to Him He spoke through a parable:
While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:
5 Went out the [one] sowing to sow the seed of him; And in the sowing of him some indeed fell along the road and it was trampled upon, and the birds of the air devoured it.
“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 However other (fell *N+kO) upon the rock, and having sprung up it withered through not having moisture.
Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.
7 And other fell in [the] midst of the thorns, and having sprung up with [it] the thorns choked choked it.
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.
8 And other fell (upon *N+kO) the soil good, and having sprung up it produced fruit a hundredfold. These things saying He was calling out; The [one] having ears to hear he should hear.
Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 Were asking then Him the disciples of Him (saying: *k) What this would mean the parable
Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.
10 And He said; To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, to the however rest [it is] in parables so that Seeing not shall they see and hearing not shall they understand.’
He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’
11 Is now this the parable: The seed is the word of God.
Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
12 Those now along the road are which [are] (having heard, *N+kO) then comes the devil and takes away the word from the heart of them that not having believed they may be saved.
The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
13 Those now upon the rock, those who when they may hear with joy receive the word; and these a root not have, who for a time believe and in time of testing fall away.
The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.
14 That now into the thorns having fallen, these are those having heard, and under cares and riches and pleasures of life moving along are choked and not do mature.
The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
15 That now in the good soil, these are those in a heart worthy and good having heard the word keep [it] and they bring forth fruit by perseverance.
But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.
16 No [one] now a lamp having lighted covers it with a vessel or under a bed puts [it], but on a lampstand (puts [it] *N+kO) so that those entering in may see the light.
No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.
17 Nothing for is hidden which not manifest will become, nor [is] secret which certainly (not *no) (may be known *N+kO) and to light come.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.
18 do take heed therefore how you hear; who[ever] (maybe *NK+o) for shall have, will be given to him, and who[ever] (maybe *NK+o) not shall have, even what he seems to have it will be taken away from him.
Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 (she came *N+kO) then to Him the mother and the brothers of Him and not they were able to get to Him because of the crowd.
Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.
20 (and *k) It was told (also *no) to Him (saying: *k) The mother of You and the brothers of You have stood outside to see wanting You.
He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”
21 But answering He said to them; Mother of Mine and brothers of mine those are who the word of God are hearing and doing (it. *k)
But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”
22 (and *k) It came to pass (then *no) on one of the days also He himself climbed into a boat with the disciples of Him and He said to them; Let us pass over to the other side of the lake. And they launched out.
One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.
23 When were sailing then they He fell asleep, And came down a storm of wind on the lake, and they were being swamped and were in danger.
As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24 Having come to [Him] then they awoke Him saying; Master Master, we are perishing! And (having arisen up *N+kO) He rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. and they ceased, and there was a calm.
The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.
25 He said then to them; Where (is *k) the faith of you? Having been afraid then they marveled saying to one another; Who then this is for even to the winds He commands and to the water, and they obey Him?
“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”
26 And they sailed down to the region of the (Gerasenes *N+KO) which is opposite Galilee.
Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.
27 Having gone forth then to Him upon the land met (with him *ko) a man certain out of the city (who *ko) (is having *N+kO) demons. and (from *k) (time a long *N+kO) not (was wearing *N+kO) clothing and in a house not was abiding but in the tombs.
When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.
28 Having seen then Jesus (and *k) having cried out he fell down before Him and in a voice loud said; What to me myself and to You, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I implore of You not me You may torment!
When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”
29 He was commanding for to the spirit unclean to come out from the man; Many for times it had seized him, and (he was shackled *N+kO) with chains and in fetters being kept, and breaking the chains he was driven (by *NK+o) the (demon *N+kO) into the deserts.
For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.
30 Asked now him Jesus (saying: *ko) What your name is And he said; (Legion; *N+kO) because were entered demons many into him.
“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.
31 And (they were begging *N+kO) Him that not he would command to them into the abyss to go away. (Abyssos g12)
And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was now there a herd of pigs many (feeding *N+kO) in the mountain, and (they begged *N+kO) Him that He would allow them into them to enter. and He allowed them.
There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.
33 Having gone out then the demons from the man (they entered *N+kO) into the pigs, and rushed the herd down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
34 Having seen then those feeding [them] what (already happening *N+kO) they fled and (having gone *K) they reported [it] to the city and to the country.
When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.
35 They went out then to see that having happened and they came to Jesus and found sitting the man from whom the demons (had gone out *N+kO) clothed and being of sound mind at the feet of Jesus, And they were afraid.
So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 Related then to them (and *k) those having seen [it] how was healed the [one] having been demonised.
Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37 And (asked *N+kO) Him all the multitude of the surrounding region of the (Gerasenes *N+KO) to depart from them, because with fear great they were seized. He himself now having climbed into (the *k) boat turned back.
Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.
38 (Was begging *N+kO) however Him the man from whom had gone out the demons to be [taken] with Him. He sent away however him (Jesus *K) saying;
The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,
39 do return to the house of you and do relate how much for you has done God. And he departed through all the city proclaiming how much did for him Jesus.
“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.
40 (it came to pass *K) When then ([is] returning *N+kO) Jesus received Him the crowd; they were for all looking for Him.
When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.
41 And behold came a man whose name [was] Jairus, and (he *N+kO) a ruler of the synagogue was. and having fallen at the feet of Jesus he was begging Him to come to the house of him
Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,
42 because daughter an only was to him about years [old] twelve and she was dying. As then [is] to go He the crowds were pressing around Him.
because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,
43 And a woman being with a flux of blood for years twelve, who (into *k) (on physicians *N+kO) having spent all the living (of her *ko) neither was able (by *N+kO) no [one] to be healed,
including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.
44 having come behind [Him] she touched the fringe the of cloak of Him, and immediately stopped the flux of the blood of her.
She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 And said Jesus; Who [is] the [one] having touched Me? When is denying [it] however everyone said Peter (and those *KO) (with him: *K+o) Master, the people surround You and press in (and say which one having touched me. *KO)
“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”
46 But Jesus said; Touched Me someone; I myself for know power (having left *N+kO) from Me.
But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”
47 Having seen then the woman that not she was hid, trembling she came and having fallen down before Him, for what cause she touched Him she declared (to him *k) before all the people and how she was healed immediately.
Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.
48 And He said to her; (Take courage *K) (daughter, *N+kO) the faith of you has healed you; do go in peace.
“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
49 Still when he is speaking comes one from the synagogue ruler saying (to him *ko) that Has died the daughter of You; (no longer *N+KO) do trouble the Teacher.
While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”
50 But Jesus having heard He answered to him (saying; *k) Not do fear; only (do believe, *N+kO) and she will be saved.
But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51 (having entered *N+kO) then into the house not He did allow to go in (anyone *N+kO) (with Him *NO) only except Peter and John and James, and the father of the child and the mother.
When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.
52 They were weeping now all and they were mourning for her. But He said; Not do weep; not (for *no) she is dead but sleeps.
Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”
53 And they were laughing at Him, knowing that she was dead.
And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 He himself now (having taken out outside all and *K) having taken hold of the hand of her called out saying: O Child, (do arise. *N+kO)
But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”
55 And returned the spirit of her, and she arose immediately, and He directed to her to be given to eat.
Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.
56 And were amazed the parents of her. and He instructed to them no one to tell what having happened.
