Luke 8
1 Soon afterward Jesus was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him,
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,
2 as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had gone out,
and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Maryam who was called Magdalitha, from whom seven demons had gone out;
3 Joanna the wife of Chuza (Herod's steward), Susanna, and many others. These women provided for Jesus and his disciples out of their own resources.
and Yokhan, the wife of Kuza, Herod' steward; Shushan; and many others; who provided for them from their possessions.
4 As a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he spoke by way of a parable:
When a large crowd came together, and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable.
5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some seed fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
"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.
6 Other seed fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away because it had no moisture.
Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.
Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.
8 But other seed fell into good soil, and when it grew, it produced a hundred times more than what was sown.” As he said this, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
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."
9 Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
Then his disciples asked him, "What does this parable mean?"
10 He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest I speak in parables, so that ‘they may see but not perceive, and hear but not understand.’
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.'
11 “Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 The ones along the path are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they may not believe and be saved.
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.
13 The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. Yet they have no root; they believe for a while, but in a time of testing they fall away.
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.
14 The seed that fell among the thorns are those who have heard, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
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.
15 But the seed in the good soil are those who hear the word, hold fast to it with an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.
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.
16 “No one lights a lamp and covers it with a container or puts it under a bed. Instead, it is put on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see its light.
"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.
17 For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything hidden away that will not be made known and come to light.
For nothing is hidden, that will not be revealed; nor anything secret, that will not be known and come to light.
18 Therefore consider how you hear, for whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
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."
19 Then Jesus' mother and brothers came to him, but they were not able to reach him because of the crowd.
His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
20 So some people told him, “Yoʋr mother and yoʋr brothers are standing outside, wishing to see yoʋ.”
It was told him by some saying, "Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you."
21 But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it."
22 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they set out,
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.
23 and as they were sailing along, he fell asleep. Then a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were in danger as the boat was being swamped by the waves.
But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
24 So they came to Jesus and woke him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then he rose and rebuked the wind and the raging water. They ceased, and all was calm.
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.
25 Then he said to his disciples, “Where is your faith?” But they were afraid and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
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?"
26 Then they sailed to the region of the Gadarenes, which is across the lake from Galilee.
They arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galila.
27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a man from the city who had been possessed by demons for a long time. This man did not wear clothes or live in a house but among the tombs.
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.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, “What do yoʋ have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg yoʋ, do not torment me.”
When he saw Yeshua, he shouted, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, "What do I have to do with you, Yeshua, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me."
29 For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and he would be bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, but he would break the chains and be driven by the demon into desolate places.
For Yeshua 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.
30 Jesus then asked him, “What is yoʋr name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him.
Yeshua asked him, "What is your name?" He said, "Legion," for many demons had entered into him.
They pleaded with him that he would not command them to go into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding there on the mountain. The demons begged Jesus to permit them to enter the pigs. So he gave them permission.
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.
33 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 were drowned.
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.
34 When those who had been feeding the pigs saw what happened, they ran off and reported it in the city and in the countryside.
When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
35 So the people came out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.
Then people went out to see what had happened. They came to Yeshua, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Yeshua's feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 Those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been delivered.
Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
37 Then the entire multitude from the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Jesus to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and left.
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.
38 Now the man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Yeshua sent him away, saying,
39 “Return to yoʋr house, and declare all that God has done for yoʋ.” So the man went away, proclaiming throughout the entire city all that Jesus had done for him.
"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 Yeshua had done for him.
40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they had all been waiting for him.
When Yeshua returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet and begged him to come to his house,
And look, there came a man named Yuarash, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Yeshua's feet, and pleaded with him to come into his house,
42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As Jesus went on his way, the crowds were pressing in on him.
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the crowds pressed against him.
43 Now there was a woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, and even though she had spent her entire livelihood on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone.
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,
44 She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his garment, and the flow of her blood stopped at once.
came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
45 Then Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone denied it, Peter and those who were with him said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding yoʋ and pressing against yoʋ, and yet yoʋ say, ‘Who touched me?’”
Yeshua said, "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Kipha and those with him said, "Master, the crowds press and jostle you."
46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I know that power has gone out from me.”
But Yeshua said, "Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me."
47 When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him, and in the presence of all the people she told him the reason why she had touched him, and how she had been healed at once.
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.
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Take courage, daughter; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ. Go in peace.”
He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said to him, “Yoʋr daughter has died; do not trouble the teacher.”
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."
50 But when Jesus heard this, he said to him in response, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be healed.”
But Yeshua hearing it, answered him, "Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed."
51 When he came to the house, Jesus allowed no one to go in, except Peter, John, James, and the child's father and mother.
When he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter in with him, except Kipha, Yukhanan, Yaquv, the father of the child, and her mother.
52 Meanwhile, all the people were weeping and mourning for her, but Jesus said, “Do not weep; she is not dead but sleeping.”
All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Do not weep. She is not dead, but sleeping."
53 And they began laughing at him, knowing that she was dead.
They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
54 But Jesus put them all outside, took hold of the girl's hand, and called out, “Child, arise!”
But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, "Child, arise."
55 Her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then he told them to give her something to eat.
