Luke 8
1 Shortly afterwards, Jesus went on a journey through the towns and villages, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of God. With him went the Twelve,
ⲁ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲟⲗⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲁⲧⲁϯⲙⲉ ⲉϥⲕⲏⲣⲩⲥⲥⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ
2 as well as some women who had been cured of wicked spirits and of infirmities. They were Mary, known as Mary of Magdala (from whom seven demons had been expelled),

3 and Joanna (the wife of Herod’s steward, Chuza), and Susannah, and many others — all of whom ministered to Jesus and his Apostles out of their means.

4 Once, when a great crowd was collecting, and, when the people of town after town were flocking to Jesus, he spoke to them in the form of a parable:
ⲇ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ. ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲟⲗⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ
5 “The sower went out to sow his seed; and, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path and was trodden upon; and the wild birds ate it up.
ⲉ̅ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲧϫⲟ ⲉⲧϫⲉⲡⲉϥϭⲣⲟϭ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥϫⲟ. ⲁϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ϩⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲛⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲁⲩϩⲟⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛϩⲁⲗⲁⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲙⲟⲩ.
6 Other seed fell upon rock, and, as soon as it began to grow, having no moisture, withered away.
ⲋ̅ⲁϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲉ ⲉϫⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲣⲱⲧʾ ⲁⲩϣⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲁϭⲃⲉⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ.
7 Other seed fell in the middle of brambles, but the brambles grew up with it and choked it entirely.
ⲍ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲣⲱⲧʾ ⲁⲩⲟϭⲧⲟⲩ.
8 Other seed fell into rich soil, and grew, and gave a hundred-fold return.” After saying this, Jesus cried aloud: “Let him who has ears to hear with hear.”
ⲏ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲣⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲩⲉⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲱⲃ. ⲛⲁⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅.
9 His disciples asked Jesus the meaning of this parable.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ.
10 “To you,” he said, “the knowledge of the hidden truths of the Kingdom of God has been imparted, but to others in parables only, that ‘though they have eyes they may not see, and though they have ears, they may not understand.’
ⲓ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲓ̈ⲱⲣϩ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲓ̈ⲙⲉ.
11 This is the parable — The seed is God’s Message.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ. ⲡⲉϭⲣⲟϭ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
12 By the seed which fell along the path are meant those who hear the Message; but then comes the Devil and carries away the Message from their minds, to prevent their believing it and being saved.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲧϩⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉⲡ̅ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛϥ̅ϥⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩϩⲏⲧʾ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
13 By the seed which fell upon the rock are meant those who, as soon as they hear the Message, welcome it joyfully; but they have no root, and believe it only for a time, and, when the time of temptation comes, they draw back.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲇⲉ (ⲛⲉ) ⲛⲁⲉⲓ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛⲥⲉϣⲉⲡⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ. ⲛⲁⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϣⲁⲩⲕⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
14 By that which fell among the brambles are meant those who hear the Message, but who, as they go on their way, are completely choked by this world’s cares and wealth and pleasures, and bring nothing to perfection.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲛⲙ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲇⲟⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲃⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲱϭⲧ̅ʾ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ.
15 But by that in the good ground are meant those who, having heard the Message, keep it in the good, rich soil of their hearts, and patiently yield a return.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲧʾϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ.
16 No man sets light to a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or puts it underneath a couch, but he puts it on a lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.

17 Nothing is hidden which will not be brought into the light of day, not ever kept hidden which will not some day become known and come into the light of day.

18 Take care, then, how you listen. For, to all those who have, more will be given; while, from all those who have nothing, even what they seem to have will be taken away.”
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ. ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ. ⲡⲉⲧϥ̅ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲥϥ̅ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϥⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅·
19 Presently Jesus’ mother and brothers came where he was, but they were not able to join him on account of the crowd.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉ͡ⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉϥⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲉϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ.
20 So word was brought to him — ‘Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲡⲥⲁ ⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ.
21 His reply, spoken to them all, was: “My mother and my brothers are those who listen to God’s teaching and do what it bids.”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ. ⲧⲁⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲙⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲉϯⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ·
22 One day about that time, Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them: “Let us go across the lake.”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲟⲓ̈ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲗⲓⲙⲛⲏ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲣ̅ϩⲱⲧʾ
23 So they put off. While they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A squall swept down upon the lake, and their boat was filling and they were in danger.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲩⲣϩⲱⲧʾ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲱⲃϣ̅. ⲁⲩⲧⲣⲱⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧʾ ⲉⲧⲗⲓⲙⲛⲏ ⲁⲩϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϭⲓⲛⲇⲩⲛⲉⲩⲉ.
24 So the disciples came and roused him. “Sir, Sir,” they cried, “we are lost!” Jesus rose and rebuked the wind and the rushing waves, and they fell, and a calm followed.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ̅ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲫⲟⲉⲓⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲗⲟ ⲁⲩϫⲁⲙⲏ ϣⲱⲡⲉ.
25 “Where is your faith?” he exclaimed. But in great awe and amazement they said to one another: “Who can this be, that he commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey him?”
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲧⲱⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲉⲩⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲣ̅ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ϥⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲛⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ.
26 And they reached the country of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite side to Galilee;

27 and, on getting ashore, Jesus met a man, who had demons in him, coming out of the town. For a long time this man had worn no clothing, and he had not lived in a house, but in the tombs.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲁⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲛϩⲉⲛⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ. ⲉⲁϥⲣⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲙⲡϥ̅ϯϩⲟⲓ̈ⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲙⲡϥ̅ⲟⲩⲱϩ ϩⲛ̅ⲏⲉⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥϩⲛⲛⲉⲙϩⲁⲟⲩ.
28 Catching sight of Jesus, he shrieked out and threw himself down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you not to torment me.”
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥⲡⲁϩⲧϥ̅ ϩⲁⲣⲁⲧϥ̅. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲏ ϫⲉ. ⲉⲕⲟⲩⲉϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ. ϯⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲃⲁⲥⲁⲛⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈.
29 For Jesus was commanding the foul spirit to come out from the man. On many occasions it had seized him, and, even when secured with chains and fetters, and watched, he would break through anything that bound him, and be driven by the demon into the Wilds.

30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he answered (for many demons had taken possession of him);

32 There was a drove of many pigs close by feeding upon the hill-side; and the demons begged Jesus to give them leave to enter into them. Jesus gave them leave.

33 They came out from the man and took possession of the pigs; and the drove rushed down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.

35 The people went out to see what had happened, and, when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at Jesus’ feet; and they were awe-struck.

37 upon which all the people in the neighbourhood of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, for they were terrified. Jesus got into a boat and returned.

41 And a man named Jaeirus, who was a President of the Synagogue, came to Jesus, and threw himself at Jesus’ feet, with entreaties that he would come to his house,

45 “Who was it that touched me?” Jesus asked; and, while everyone was denying having done so, Peter exclaimed: “Why, Sir, the people are crowding round you and pressing upon you!”

47 Then the woman, when she saw that she was discovered, came forward trembling, and threw herself down before him; and, in the presence of all the people, she told him her reason for touching him, and that she had been cured instantly.

49 Before he had finished speaking, some one came from the house of the President of the Synagogue and said: “Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Teacher further.”

50 But Jesus, hearing this, spoke to the President: “Do not be afraid; only have faith, and she shall yet be delivered.”

51 When he reached the house, he did not allow any one to go in with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother.
