< Luke 8 >

1 And it fortuned after that that he him sylfe went throughout cities and tounes preachynge and shewinge ye kyngdom of God and the twelve with him.
And it came to pass thereafter, that He was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the Kingdom of God, and the Twelve [are] with Him,
2 And also certayne wemen which wer healed of evell spretes and infirmities: Mary called Magdalen out of whom went seven devyls
and certain women who were healed of evil spirits and sicknesses, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,
3 and Ioanna ye wyfe of Chusa Herodees stewarde and Susanna and many other: which ministred vnto the of their substaunce.
and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to Him from their substance.
4 When moch people were gadred to gether and were come to him out of all cities he spake by a similitude.
And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming to Him, He spoke by an allegory:
5 A sower went out to sowe his seede: and as he sowed some fell by the waye syde and it was troden vnder fete and the foules of the ayre devoured it vp.
“The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 And some fell on ston and assone as it was spronge vp it widdred awaye because it lacked moystnes.
And other fell on the rock, and having sprung up, it withered, through having no moisture.
7 And some fell amonge thornes and ye thornes spronge vp with it and choked it.
And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, choked it.
8 And some fell on good grounde and sproge vp and bare frute an hondred foolde. And as he sayde these thinges he cryed: He that hath eares to heare let him heare.
And other fell on the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit a hundredfold.” Saying these things, He was calling, “He having ears to hear—let him hear.”
9 And his disciples axed him sayinge: what maner similitude is this?
And His disciples were questioning Him, saying, “What may this allegory be?”
10 And he sayde: vnto you is it geven to knowe the secretes of the kyngdom of God: but to other in similitudes that when they se they shuld not se: and when they heare they shuld not vnderstonde.
And He said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in allegories, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 The similitude is this. The seede is ye worde of God.
And this is the allegory: the seed is the word of God,
12 Thoose yt are besyde the waye are they that heare and afterwarde cometh ye devyll and taketh awaye the worde out of their hertes lest they shuld beleve and be saved.
and those beside the way are those hearing, then comes the Devil, and takes up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.
13 They on the stonnes are they which when they heare receave the worde with ioye. But these have noo rootes which for a whyle beleve and in tyme of temtacio goo awaye.
And those on the rock: they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And yt which fell amonge thornes are they which heare and goo forth and are choked wt cares and wt riches and volupteous lyvinge and bringe forth noo frute.
And that which fell to the thorns: these are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and do not bear to completion.
15 That in ye good grounde are they which with a good and pure hert heare the worde and kepe it and bringe forth frute with pacience.
And that in the good ground: these are they who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.
16 No man lyghteth a candell and covereth it vnder a vessell nether putteth it vnder ye table: but setteth it on a candelsticke that they that enter in maye se ye lyght.
And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel, or puts [it] under a bed; but he puts [it] on a lampstand, that those coming in may see the light,
17 No thinge is in secret yt shall not come abroode: Nether eny thinge hyd that shall not be knowen and come to lyght.
for nothing is secret, that will not become visible, nor hid, that will not be known and become visible.
18 Take hede therfore how ye heare. For whosoever hath to him shalbe geve: And whosoever hath not fro him shalbe take even that same which he supposeth that he hath.
See, therefore, how you hear, for whoever may have, there will be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seems to have will be taken from him.”
19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren and coulde not come at him for prease.
And there came to Him His mother and brothers, and they were not able to get to Him because of the multitude,
20 And they tolde him sayinge: Thy mother and thy brethren stonde with out and wolde se the.
and it was told Him, saying, “Your mother and Your brothers stand outside, wishing to see You”;
21 He answered and sayd vnto them: my mother and my brethren are these which heare the worde of God and do it.
and He answering said to them, “My mother and My brothers! They are those who are hearing the word of God, and doing.”
22 And it chaunsed on a certayne daye that he went into a shippe and his disciples also and he sayde vnto them: Let vs goo over vnto the other syde of the lake. And they Lanched forthe.
And it came to pass, on one of the days, that He Himself went into a boat with His disciples, and He said to them, “We may go over to the other side of the lake”; and they set forth,
23 And as they sayled he fell a slepe and there arose a storme of wynde in ye lake and they were fylled with water and were in ieopardy.
and as they are sailing He fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.
24 And they went to him and awoke him sayinge: Master Master we are loost. Then he arose and rebuked the wynde and the tempest of water and they ceased and it wexed calme.
And having come near, they awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we perish!” And He, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,
25 And he sayd vnto the: where is youre faith? They feared and wondred sayinge one to another: what felowe is this? for he comaundeth bothe the wyndes and water and they obey him?
and He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they being afraid wondered, saying to one another, “Who, then, is this, that He even commands the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”
26 And they sayled vnto the region of ye Gaderenites which is over agaynst Galile.
And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes that is opposite Galilee,
27 And as he went out to londe ther met him a certayne man out of ye cite which had a devyll longe tyme and ware noo clothes nether aboode in eny housse: but amonge graves.
and He having gone forth on the land, there met Him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and was not clothed with a garment, and was not abiding in a house, but in the tombs,
28 When he sawe Iesus he cryed and fell doune before him and with a loude voyce sayde: What have I to do with the Iesus the sonne of the God moost hyest? I beseche the torment me not.
and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before Him, and with a loud voice, said, “What [regards] me and You, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I implore You, may You not afflict me!”
29 Then he comaunded ye foule sprete to come out of the man. For ofte tymes he caught him and he was bounde with chaynes and kept with fetters: and he brake the bondes and was caryed of the fende into wyldernes.
For He commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and shackles—guarded, and breaking apart the bonds he was driven by the demons into the deserts.
30 And Iesus axed him sayinge: what is thy name? And he sayde: Legion because many devyls were entred into him.
And Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons were entered into him,
31 And they besought him yt he wolde not comaunde the to goo out into ye depe. (Abyssos g12)
and he was calling on Him that He may not command them to go away into the abyss, (Abyssos g12)
32 And ther was there by an heerde of many swyne fedynge on an hyll: and they besought him yt he wolde soffre the to enter into the. And he soffred the.
and there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they were calling on Him that He might permit them to enter into these, and He permitted them,
33 Then went the devyls out of the man and entred into the swyne: And the heerd toke their course and ran heedlynge into the lake and were choked.
and the demons having gone forth from the man, entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.
34 When the herdmen sawe what had chaunsed they fleed and tolde it in the cite and in the villages.
And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the fields;
35 And they came out to se what was done: and came to Iesus and founde ye man out of who the devyls were departed sittynge at the fete of Iesus clothed and in his right mynde and they were afrayde.
and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;
36 They also wich sawe it tolde the by what meanes he yt was possessed of ye devyll was healed.
and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.
37 And all the whole multitude of ye cotrye of the Gaderenites besought him yt he wolde departe from the: for they were taken wt greate feare. And he gate him into the shippe and returned backe agayne.
And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes asked Him to go away from them, because they were pressed with great fear, and He having entered into the boat, turned back.
38 Then the man out of whom the devyls were departed besought him yt he myght be wt him: But Iesus sent him awaye sayinge:
And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was imploring of Him to be with Him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Goo home agayne into thyne awne housse and shewe what great thinges God hath done to ye. And he went his waye and preached thorow out all the cite what great thinges Iesus had done vnto him.
“Return to your house, and tell how God did great things to you”; and he went away through all the city proclaiming how Jesus did great things to him.
40 And it fortuned when Iesus was come agayne that ye people receaved him. For they all wayted for him.
And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received Him, for they were all looking for Him,
41 And beholde ther came a man named Iairus (and he was a ruler of ye synagoge) and he fell doune at Iesus fete and besought him yt he wolde come into his housse
and behold, there came a man whose name [is] Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on Him to come to his house,
42 for he had but a doughter only apon a twelve yere of age and she laye a dyinge. And as he went the people thronged him.
because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in His going away, the multitudes were thronging Him,
43 And a woman havynge an issue of bloud twelve yeres (which had spent all her substance amonge phisicios nether coulde be holpen of eny)
and a woman, being with a flow of blood for twelve years, who, having spent all her living on physicians, was not able to be healed by any,
44 came behinde him and touched the hem of his garmet and immediatly her issue of bloud staunched.
having come near behind, touched the fringe of His garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stood still.
45 And Iesus sayde: Who is it that touched me? when every man denyed Peter and they yt were with him sayde: Master the people thrust the and vexe the: and sayest thou who touched me?
And Jesus said, “Who [is] it that touched Me?” And all denying, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press You, and throng [You], and You say, Who [is] it that touched Me?”
46 And Iesus sayd: Some body touched me. For I perceave that vertue is gone out of me.
And Jesus said, “Someone touched Me, for I knew power having gone forth from Me.”
47 When the woman sawe that she was not hid she came trimblynge and fell at is fete and tolde him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediatly.
And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before Him, for what cause she touched Him declared to Him before all the people, and how she was healed instantly;
48 And he sayde vnto hyr: Doughter be of good comforte Thy faith hath made the hoale goo in peace.
and He said to her, “Take courage, daughter, your faith has saved you, be going on to peace.”
49 Whyll he yet spake there came one from ye rulers of the synagogis housse which sayde to him: thy doughter is deed disease not the master.
While He is yet speaking, there comes a certain one from the chief of the synagogue’s [house], saying to him, “Your daughter has died, do not harass the Teacher”;
50 When Iesus hearde that He answered the father sayinge: Feare not beleve only and she shalbe made whole.
and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid, only believe, and she will be saved.”
51 And when he came to ye housse he suffred no man to goo in with him save Peter Iames and Iohn and the father and the mother of the mayden.
And having come into the house, He permitted no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;
52 Every body weept and sorowed for her. And he sayde: Wepe not: for she is not deed but slepeth.
and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and He said, “Do not weep, she did not die, but sleeps”;
53 And they lewgh him to scorne. For they knew that she was deed.
and they were deriding Him, knowing that she died;
54 And he thrust the all out and caught her by the honde and cryed sayinge: Mayde aryse.
and He having put all forth outside, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, “Child, arise”;
55 And hyr sprete came agayne and she roose strayght waye. And he commaunded to geve her meate.
and her spirit came back, and she arose immediately, and He directed that there be given to her to eat;
56 And the father and the mother of hyr were astonyed. But he warned the that they shuld tell noo man what was done.
and her parents were amazed, but He charged them to say to no one what had come to pass.
