< Luke 8 >

1 AND it was after these things that Jeshu itinerated among the cities and villages, and preached and announced the kingdom of Aloha, and his twelve with him,
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 and those women who had been healed from infirmities and from evil spirits, Mariam who was called Magdalitha, she from whom he had cast out seven devils,
And certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven demons,
3 and Juchana the wife of Kusa, chief of the household of Herodes, and Shushan, and many others, who ministered unto him from their possessions.
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him of their substance.
4 And when a great multitude had assembled, and from all the cities had come to him, he discoursed in parables.
And when many people were gathered together, and had come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:
5 A sower went forth to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the road-side; and it was trodden down, and the fowl devoured it.
A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And other fell upon the rock; and it immediately sprang up, and, because it had no moisture, it withered.
And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 And other fell among thorns, and they sprang up with it, and choked it.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 And other fell into ground good and fair, and sprang up, and made fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these (words), he cried, Whoever hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And his disciples asked him, What is (the signification of) this parable?
And his disciples asked him, saying, What doth this parable mean?
10 But he said to them, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Aloha; but to those who are the rest in similitudes is it spoken; that while seeing they may not see, and while hearing they may not understand.
And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 But this is the parable: The seed is the word of Aloha.
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Now they by the road-side are they who hear the word; and the adversary cometh, and taketh up the word from their hearts, that they should not believe and be saved.
Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 But those who fell upon the rock are those who, when they hear, with joy receive the word; yet root they have not, but for a time is their faith, and in the time of temptation they are offended.
They on the rock are they, who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 But that which fell among thorns are they who hear the word, and by the cares, and by the riches, and by the lusts of the world, they are choked, and fruit they give not.
And that which fell among thorns are they, who, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that which (was) in good ground are they who, with hearts humble and good, hear the word and retain, and give fruits with perseverance.
But that on the good ground are they, who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 NO man lighteth a lamp, and covereth it with a measure, or setteth it under a bed; but setteth it upon a candlestick, that every one who cometh in may see the light of it.
No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a lampstand, that they who enter in may see the light.
17 For there is nothing hidden which shall not be revealed, and nothing secret that shall not be known and come into openness.
For nothing is secret, that shall not become evident; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come to light.
18 Take heed how you hear: for unto him who hath, it shall be given; and from him who hath not, that also which he thinketh that he hath shall be taken from him.
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whoever hath, to him shall be given; and whoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
19 Now came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not speak with him on account of the assembly.
Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come near to him for the crowd.
20 And they said to him, Thy mother and thy brethren are standing without, desiring to see thee.
And it was told to him by certain who said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand outside, desiring to see thee.
21 But he answered and said to them, These are my mother and my brethren, they who hear the word of Aloha, and do it.
And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are these who hear the word of God, and do it.
22 NOW it was on one of the days that Jeshu ascended and sat in a vessel and his disciples: and he said to them, Let us pass to the other side of the water.
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a boat with his disciples: and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 But as they went, Jeshu himself slept. And there became a storm of wind on the water, and nigh was the vessel to be swallowed up.
But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 And they approached (and) awoke him, saying to him, Our master, our master, we perish! But he arose and rebuked the winds and the waves of the sea; and they quieted, and there was a calm.
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he said to them, Where is your faith? But they, afraid, wondered, saying one with another, Who is this that also commandeth the winds, and to whom the waves and the sea are obedient?
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid marvelled, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
26 And they went forward and came to the country of the Godroyee, which is over against Galila.
And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 And when he had gone forth to the land, there met him a certain man from the city, who had a devil in him a great time, and (who) wore no clothes, and in a house dwelt not, but in the place of the buried.
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, who had demons a long time, and wore no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
28 But when he saw Jeshu, he cried out, and fell before him, and said in a high voice, What to us and to thee, Jeshu, son of Aloha Marima? I beseech of thee, torment me not.
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
29 For Jeshu commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man. For long was the time that he had been enthralled of him; and (when) bound with chains, and kept with fetters, he had burst asunder his bonds, and had been driven by the demon into the waste.
( For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For often it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he broke the bands, and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.)
30 And Jeshu demanded of him, What is thy name? He saith to him, Legion: because that many devils 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 besought from him that he would not cast them out to go into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. (Abyssos g12)
32 Now there was there a great herd of many swine which fed on the hill: and they besought from him that he would permit them to enter into the swine. And he permitted them.
And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would allow them to enter into them. And he permitted them.
33 And the demons went forth from the man, and entered into the swine; and the whole herd went directly to the precipice, and plunged into the waters, and were suffocated.
Then the demons went out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34 And when the herdmen saw the thing that was done, they fled, and made known in the city and in the villages.
When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35 And the men went forth to see the thing which was done. And they came to Jeshu, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, clothed, sober, and sitting at the feet of Jeshu. And they feared.
Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 And they who had seen it showed to them how the man of the demon had been healed.
They also who saw it told them by what means he that was possessed by the demons was healed.
37 And the whole multitude of the Godroyee besought of Jeshu that he would go from them, because great fear had taken them. And he, Jeshu, ascended the ship, and returned from them.
Then the whole multitude of the country of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear: and he went into the boat, and returned back again.
38 But he, the man from whom had gone forth the demons, besought of him that he might be with him. But Jeshu dismissed him, and said to him,
Now the man out of whom the demons had departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Return to thine house, and show what Aloha hath done for thee. And he went and proclaimed in every city what Jeshu had done for him.
Return to thy own house, and show what great things God hath done to thee. And he went away, and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done to him.
40 WHEN Jeshu returned, a great multitude received him: for they were all expecting him.
And it came to pass, that, when Jesus had returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41 And a certain man whose name was Jorush, head of the synagogue, fell before the feet of Jeshu, and besought him to enter into his house;
And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him that he would come into his house:
42 for he had an only daughter, as a daughter of twelve years, and she was nigh unto death. And as Jeshu went with him, the great multitude pressed him.
For he had one daughter only, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he was going the people thronged him.
43 And a certain woman whose blood had gushed forth twelve years, she who among the physicians had spent all her substance, but could not be healed by any one,
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed by any,
44 approached him from behind, and touched the border of his garment, and immediately stood the flowing of her blood.
Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stopped.
45 And Jeshu said, Who touched me? And when all denied, Shemun Kipha and those with him said, Raban, the crowd straiteneth and presseth thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 But he said, Some one hath touched me, for I know that power hath gone forth from me.
And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that power hath gone out of me.
47 And she, the woman, when she saw that she was not hid, came trembling and fell (and) worshipped him. And she told before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how at once she had been healed.
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared to him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 But he, Jeshu, said to her, Be comforted, my daughter: thy faith hath saved thee, go in peace.
And he said to her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace.
49 And while he was speaking, there came a man from the chief of the synagogue and said to him, Thy daughter is dead, weary not the Malphona.
While he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 But Jeshu heard, and said to the father of the damsel, Fear not, only believe, and she lives!
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made well.
51 But Jeshu came to the house, and he suffered no man to enter with him, save Shemun, and Jakub, and Juchanon, and the father of the damsel, and her mother.
And when he came into the house, he allowed no man to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 And they were all weeping and wailing for her; but Jeshu said, Weep not, for she is not dead, but asleep.
And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they laughed at him, for they knew that she was dead.
And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.
54 But he put every man forth without. And he took her by the hand, and called and said, Damsel, arise.
And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit returned, and she arose. And he directed that they should give her to eat.
And her spirit came again, and she arose immediately: and he commanded to give her something to eat.
56 And her parents were astonished; but he cautioned them that no man they should tell what he had done.
And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
