5They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.G2532G2064G1519G4008G2281G1519G5561G10462When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him.G2532G846G1831G1537G4143G2112G528G846G1537G3419G444G1722G169G41513This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.G3739G2192G2731G1722G3419G2532G3762G1410G1210G846G3777G2544For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him.G1223G846G4178G1210G3976G2532G254G2532G254G1288G5259G846G2532G3976G4937G2532G2480G1150G846G37625Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.G2532G1275G3571G2532G2250G2258G1722G3735G2532G1722G3418G2896G2532G2629G1438G30376When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him.G1161G1492G2424G575G3113G5143G2532G4352G8467He shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name don't torture me!"G2532G2896G3173G5456G2036G5101G1698G2532G4671G2424G5207G5310G2316G3726G4571G2316G928G3165G33618For Jesus had said to him, "Come out of this man, you evil spirit!"G1063G3004G846G1831G1537G444G169G41519Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" "My name is Legion," he replied, "for we are many."G2532G1905G846G5101G4671G3686G2532G611G3004G3427G3686G3003G3754G2070G418310And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.G2532G3870G846G4183G3363G649G3363G649G846G649G1854G556111Alarge herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside.G1161G2258G1563G4314G3735G3173G34G5519G100612The demons begged Jesus, "Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them."G2532G3956G1142G3870G846G3004G3992G2248G1519G5519G2443G1525G1519G84613He gave them permission, and the evil spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.G2532G2112G2424G2010G846G2010G2532G169G4151G1831G1525G1519G5519G2532G34G3729G2596G2911G1519G2281G1161G2258G5613G1367G2532G4155G1722G228114Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.G1161G1006G5519G5343G2532G312G1519G4172G2532G1519G68G2532G1831G1492G5101G2076G109615When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.G2532G2064G4314G2424G2532G2334G1139G2192G3003G2521G2532G2439G2532G4993G2532G539916Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well.G2532G1492G1334G846G4459G1096G1139G2532G4012G551917Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.G2532G756G3870G846G565G575G846G372518As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him.G2532G846G1684G1519G4143G1139G3870G846G2443G5600G3326G84619Jesus did not let him, but said, "Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."G1161G2424G863G846G3756G235G3004G846G5217G1519G3624G4675G4314G4674G2532G312G846G3745G2962G4160G4671G2532G1653G457120So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.G2532G565G2532G756G2784G1722G1179G3745G2424G4160G846G2532G3956G229621When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.G2532G2424G1276G3825G1722G4143G1519G4008G4183G3793G4863G1909G846G2532G2258G3844G228122Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.G2532G2400G2064G1520G752G2383G3686G2532G1492G846G4098G4314G846G422823He pleaded earnestly with him, "My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live."G2532G3870G846G4183G3004G3754G3450G2365G2079G2192G2064G2443G2007G5495G846G3704G4982G2532G219824So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him.G2532G565G3326G846G2532G4183G3793G190G846G2532G4918G84625And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years.G2532G5100G1135G1722G4511G129G5607G1427G209426She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.G2532G3958G4183G5259G4183G2395G2532G1159G3956G1438G3844G2532G5623G3367G5623G235G3123G2064G1519G550127When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,G191G4012G2424G2064G1722G3793G3693G680G846G244028because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed."G1063G3004G3754G2579G680G2579G846G2440G498229Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.G2532G2112G4077G846G129G3583G2532G1097G4983G3754G2390G575G314830At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"G2532G2424G2112G1921G1722G1438G1411G1831G1537G846G1994G1722G3793G3004G5101G680G3450G244031"You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "and yet you can ask, 'Who touched me?' "G2532G846G3101G3004G846G991G3793G4918G4571G2532G3004G5101G680G345032But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.G2532G4017G1492G4160G512433Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth.G1161G1135G5399G2532G5141G1492G3739G1096G1909G846G2064G2532G4363G846G2532G2036G846G3956G22534He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."G1161G2036G846G2364G4675G4102G4982G4571G4982G5217G1519G1515G2532G2468G5199G575G4675G314835While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. "Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher anymore?"G2089G846G2089G2980G2064G575G752G3004G3754G4675G2364G599G5101G4660G1320G208936Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, "Don't be afraid; just believe."G1161G2112G2424G191G3056G2980G3004G752G5399G3361G5399G3440G410037He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.G2532G863G3756G3762G4870G846G1508G4074G2532G2385G2532G2491G80G238538When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.G2532G2064G1519G3624G752G2532G2334G2351G2799G2532G214G418339He went in and said to them, "Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep."G2532G1525G3004G846G5101G2350G2532G2799G3813G599G3756G599G235G251840But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.G2532G2606G846G2606G1161G1544G537G1544G3880G3962G2532G3384G3813G2532G3326G846G2532G1531G3699G3813G2258G34541He took her by the hand and said to her, (which means "Little girl, I say to you, get up!").G2532G2902G3813G5495G3004G846G5008G2891G3739G2076G3177G2877G3004G4671G145342Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.G2532G2112G2877G450G2532G4043G1063G2258G1427G2094G2532G1839G3173G161143He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.G2532G1291G846G4183G2443G3367G1097G5124G2532G2036G1325G846G5315
