Luke 8
8Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him,G2532G1096G1722G2517G2532G846G1353G2596G4172G2532G2968G2784G2532G2097G932G2316G2532G1427G4862G8462and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,G2532G5100G1135G3739G2258G2323G575G4190G4151G2532G769G3137G2564G3094G575G3739G1831G2033G11403and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance.G2532G2489G1135G5529G2264G2012G2532G4677G2532G4183G2087G3748G1247G846G575G846G52244And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable:G1161G4183G3793G4896G2532G1975G4314G846G2596G4172G2036G1223G38505"A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.G4687G1831G4687G846G4703G2532G1722G846G4687G3739G3303G4098G3844G3598G2532G2662G2532G4071G3772G2719G8466"Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.G2532G2087G4098G1909G4073G2532G5453G3583G1223G3361G2192G24297"And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.G2532G2087G4098G1722G3319G173G2532G173G4855G638G1970G8468"But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold." When He had said these things He cried, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"G2532G2087G4098G1909G18G1093G2532G5453G4160G2590G1542G3004G5023G5455G2192G3775G191G1919Then His disciples asked Him, saying, "What does this parable mean?"G1161G846G3101G1905G846G3004G5101G1498G3778G3850G149810And He said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that 'Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.'G1161G2036G5213G1325G1097G3466G932G2316G1161G3062G1722G3850G2443G991G991G3361G991G2532G191G4920G3361G492011"Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.G1161G3850G2076G3778G4703G2076G3056G231612"Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.G1161G3844G3598G1526G191G1534G2064G1228G2532G142G3056G575G846G2588G3363G4100G498213"But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.G1161G1909G4073G3739G3752G191G1209G3056G3326G5479G2532G3778G2192G3756G4491G3739G4314G2540G4100G2532G1722G2540G3986G86814"Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.G1161G4098G1519G173G1526G3778G191G4198G2532G4846G5259G3308G2532G4149G2532G2237G979G2532G5052G3756G505215"But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.G1161G1722G2570G1093G1526G3778G3748G1722G2570G2532G18G2588G191G3056G2722G2532G2592G1722G528116"No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light.G1161G3762G681G3088G2572G846G4632G2228G5087G5270G2825G235G2007G1909G3087G2443G1531G991G545717"For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.G1063G3756G2076G2927G3739G1096G3756G1096G5318G3761G614G3739G1097G3756G1097G2532G2064G1519G531818"Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him."G991G3767G4459G191G1063G3739G302G2192G846G1325G2532G3739G302G2192G3361G575G846G142G2532G3739G1380G219219Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd.G1161G3854G4314G846G3384G2532G846G80G2532G1410G3756G4940G846G1223G379320And it was told Him by some, who said, "Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You."G2532G518G846G3004G4675G3384G2532G4675G80G2476G1854G2309G1492G457121But He answered and said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it."G1161G611G2036G4314G846G3450G3384G2532G3450G80G1526G3778G3588G191G3056G2316G2532G4160G84622Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the lake." And they launched out.G2532G1096G1722G3391G2250G2532G846G1684G1519G4143G2532G846G3101G2532G2036G4314G846G1330G1519G4008G3041G2532G32123But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.G1161G846G4126G879G2532G2597G2978G417G1519G3041G2532G4845G2532G279324And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm.G1161G4334G1326G846G3004G1988G1988G622G1161G1453G2008G417G2532G2830G5204G2532G3973G2532G1096G105525But He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, "Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!"G1161G2036G846G4226G2076G5216G4102G1161G5399G2296G3004G4314G240G5101G686G2076G3778G3754G2004G2532G417G2532G5204G2532G5219G84626Then they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.G2532G2668G1519G5561G1046G3748G2076G495G105627And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs.G1161G846G1831G1909G1093G5221G846G1537G4172G5100G435G3739G2192G1140G1537G2425G5550G2532G1737G3756G2440G2532G3756G3306G1722G3614G235G1722G341828When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!"G1161G1492G2424G349G2532G4363G846G2532G3173G5456G2036G5101G1698G2532G4671G2424G5207G2316G5310G1189G4675G928G3165G336129For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.G1063G3853G3853G169G4151G1831G575G444G1063G4183G5550G4884G846G2532G5442G1196G254G2532G3976G2532G1284G1199G1643G5259G1142G1519G204830Jesus asked him, saying, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion," because many demons had entered him.G1161G2424G1905G846G3004G5101G2076G4671G3686G1161G2036G3003G3754G4183G1140G1525G1519G84631And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss.G2532G3870G3870G846G3363G2004G3363G2004G846G565G1519G1232Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them.G1161G2258G1563G34G2425G5519G1006G1722G3735G2532G3870G846G2443G2010G846G1525G1519G1565G2532G2010G84633Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.G1161G1831G1140G575G444G1525G1519G5519G2532G34G3729G2596G2911G1519G3041G2532G63834When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.G1161G1006G1492G1096G5343G2532G565G518G1519G4172G2532G1519G6835Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.G1161G1831G1492G1096G2532G2064G4314G2424G2532G2147G444G575G3739G1140G1831G2521G3844G4228G2424G2439G2532G4993G2532G539936They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was healed.G1161G2532G1492G518G846G4459G1139G498237Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned.G2532G537G4128G4066G1046G4066G2065G846G565G575G846G3754G4912G3173G5401G1161G846G1684G1519G4143G529038Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,G1161G435G575G3739G1140G1831G1189G846G1511G4862G846G1161G2424G630G846G630G300439"Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you." And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.G5290G1519G4675G3624G2532G1334G3745G2316G4160G4671G2532G565G2784G2596G3650G4172G3745G2424G4160G84640So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.G1161G1096G1722G2424G5290G3793G588G846G1063G2258G3956G4328G84641And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus' feet and begged Him to come to his house,G2532G2400G2064G435G3739G3686G2383G2532G846G5225G758G4864G2532G4098G3844G2424G4228G3870G846G1525G1519G846G362442for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.G3754G846G2258G3439G2364G5613G1427G2094G2532G3778G846G599G1161G1722G846G5217G3793G4846G84643Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any,G2532G1135G5607G1722G4511G129G1427G575G2094G3748G4321G3650G979G1519G2395G3756G2480G2323G5259G376244came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.G4334G3693G680G2899G846G2440G2532G3916G846G4511G129G247645And Jesus said, "Who touched Me?" When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, 'Who touched Me?'"G2532G2424G2036G5101G680G3450G1161G3956G720G4074G2532G3326G846G2036G1988G3793G4912G4571G2532G598G2532G3004G5101G680G345046But Jesus said, "Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me."G1161G2424G2036G5100G680G3450G1063G1473G1097G1411G1831G575G170047Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.G1161G1135G1492G3754G2990G3756G2990G2064G5141G2532G4363G846G518G846G1799G3956G2992G1223G3739G156G680G846G2532G5613G2390G391648And He said to her, "Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace."G1161G2036G846G2364G2293G4675G4102G4982G4571G4982G4198G1519G151549While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher."G846G2089G2980G2064G5100G3844G752G3004G846G3754G4675G2364G2348G4660G3361G132050But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well."G1161G2424G191G611G846G3004G5399G3361G4100G3440G2532G498251When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.G1161G1525G1519G3614G863G3756G3762G1525G1508G4074G2532G2385G2532G2491G2532G3962G2532G3384G381652Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, "Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping."G1161G3956G2799G2532G2875G846G1161G2036G2799G3361G599G3756G599G235G251853And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.G2532G2606G846G2606G1492G3754G59954But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, "Little girl, arise."G1161G846G1544G3956G1854G2532G2902G846G5495G5455G3004G3816G145355Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat.G2532G846G4151G1994G2532G450G3916G2532G1299G1325G846G531556And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.G2532G846G1118G1839G1161G3853G846G2036G3367G1096
