1 And after these things Jesus travelled about the cities and the villages, and proclaimed and announced the kingdom of God. And with him were his twelve disciples,

4 And when a great multitude was assembled, and people came to him from all the cities, he said, in similitudes:

9 And his disciples asked him: what meaneth this similitude?

10 And he said to them: To you it is given, to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others, it is spoken in allegories; that, while seeing, they may not see, and while hearing, may not understand.

12 And those by the side of the path, are they that hear the word, and the enemy cometh and taketh the word out of their heart, that they may not believe and live.

13 And those upon the rock, are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy: but they have no root in them, and their faith is temporary, and in time of temptation they are stumbled.

22 And on a certain day Jesus embarked and sat in a ship, he and his disciples. And he said to them; Let us pass over to the other side of the sea.

24 And they came and awaked him, and said to him: Our Rabbi, our Rabbi, we are perishing! And he arose, and rebuked the winds and the agitations of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.

25 And he said to them: Where is your faith? And they being in awe, wondered, and said one to another: Who is this, that commandeth even the winds, and the waves, and the sea; and they obey him?

27 And when he went out upon the land, there, met him a man of the city, in whom had been a demon for a long time; and he wore no clothing, and did not reside in a house, but among the tombs.

28 And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said, with a loud voice: What have we to do with thee? Jesus, thou Son of the exalted God. I entreat of thee, torment me not.

29 For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit, to come out of the man: for, of a long time he had been held captive by him; and he had been bound with chains, and held in fetters; but he had burst the bonds, and had been driven by the demon into the desert.

32 And there was a herd of many swine grazing on the mountain. And they besought him, that he would permit them to enter the swine. And he permitted them.

37 And the whole throng of the Gadarenes requested him, that he would depart from them: for great fear had seized them. And Jesus embarked in a ship, and retired from among them.

45 And Jesus said: Who touched me? And when all denied, Simon Cephas and those with him said to him: Our Rabbi, crowds press upon thee and sayest thou, Who touched me?

46 And he said: Some one touched me; for I perceive, that energy hath gone out from me.

47 And the woman, when she saw that she had not escaped his notice, came trembling, and fell down and worshipped him. And in the presence of all the people, she declared for what cause she had touched him, and that she was instantly healed.

48 And Jesus said to her: Take courage, my daughter: Thy faith hath given thee life: Go in peace.

49 And while he was speaking, one came from the house of the chief of the synagogue, and said to him: Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the teacher.

50 And Jesus heard it, and said to the father of the maid: Fear not; believe only, and she will live.

51 And Jesus came to the house; and he suffered none to go in with him, except Simon, and James, and John, and the father and mother of the maid.

52 And all were weeping and wailing over her. And Jesus said: Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth

53 And they derided him, knowing that she was dead.

54 And he put every one out, and took her by the hand, and called, and said: Maid, arise.

55 And her spirit returned, and she instantly arose. And he directed them to give her food.

56 And her parents were astonished: and he charged them to tell no one what had occurred.
