Jesus Heals the Gerasene Demoniac

5They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes.G2532G2064G1519G4008G2281G1519G5561G10462And when he had stepped out of the boat, immediately a man out of the tombs with an unclean spirit met him.G2532G846G1831G1537G4143G2112G528G846G1537G3419G444G1722G169G41513He lived among the tombs; and no one could restrain him any more, even with a chain;G3739G2192G2731G1722G3419G2532G3762G1410G1210G846G3777G2544for he had often been restrained with shackles and chains, but the chains he wrenched apart, and the shackles he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him.G1223G846G4178G1210G3976G2532G254G2532G254G1288G5259G846G2532G3976G4937G2532G2480G1150G846G37625Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always howling and bruising himself with stones.G2532G1275G3571G2532G2250G2258G1722G3735G2532G1722G3418G2896G2532G2629G1438G30376When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him;G1161G1492G2424G575G3113G5143G2532G4352G8467and he shouted at the top of his voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."G2532G2896G3173G5456G2036G5101G1698G2532G4671G2424G5207G5310G2316G3726G4571G2316G928G3165G33618For he had said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"G1063G3004G846G1831G1537G444G169G41519Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion; for we are many."G2532G1905G846G5101G4671G3686G2532G611G3004G3427G3686G3003G3754G2070G418310He begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country.G2532G3870G846G4183G3363G649G3363G649G846G649G1854G556111Now there on the hillside a great herd of swine was feeding;G1161G2258G1563G4314G3735G3173G34G5519G100612and the unclean spirits begged him, "Send us into the swine; let us enter them."G2532G3956G1142G3870G846G3004G3992G2248G1519G5519G2443G1525G1519G84613So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the swine; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and were drowned in the sea.G2532G2112G2424G2010G846G2010G2532G169G4151G1831G1525G1519G5519G2532G34G3729G2596G2911G1519G2281G1161G2258G5613G1367G2532G4155G1722G228114The swineherds ran off and told it in the city and in the country. Then people came to see what it was that had happened.G1161G1006G5519G5343G2532G312G1519G4172G2532G1519G68G2532G1831G1492G5101G2076G109615They came to Jesus and saw the demoniac sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had had the legion; and they were afraid.G2532G2064G4314G2424G2532G2334G1139G2192G3003G2521G2532G2439G2532G4993G2532G539916Those who had seen what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine reported it.G2532G1492G1334G846G4459G1096G1139G2532G4012G551917Then they began to beg Jesus to leave their neighborhood.G2532G756G3870G846G565G575G846G372518As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.G2532G846G1684G1519G4143G1139G3870G846G2443G5600G3326G84619But Jesus refused, and said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy he has shown you."G1161G2424G863G846G3756G235G3004G846G5217G1519G3624G4675G4314G4674G2532G312G846G3745G2962G4160G4671G2532G1653G457120And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.G2532G565G2532G756G2784G1722G1179G3745G2424G4160G846G2532G3956G2296

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

21When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered around him; and he was by the sea.G2532G2424G1276G3825G1722G4143G1519G4008G4183G3793G4863G1909G846G2532G2258G3844G228122Then one of the leaders of the synagogue named Jairus came and, when he saw him, fell at his feetG2532G2400G2064G1520G752G2383G3686G2532G1492G846G4098G4314G846G422823and begged him repeatedly, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live."G2532G3870G846G4183G3004G3754G3450G2365G2079G2192G2064G2443G2007G5495G846G3704G4982G2532G219824So he went with him. And a large crowd followed him and pressed in on him.G2532G565G3326G846G2532G4183G3793G190G846G2532G4918G84625Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years.G2532G5100G1135G1722G4511G129G5607G1427G209426She had endured much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had; and she was no better, but rather grew worse.G2532G3958G4183G5259G4183G2395G2532G1159G3956G1438G3844G2532G5623G3367G5623G235G3123G2064G1519G550127She had heard about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,G191G4012G2424G2064G1722G3793G3693G680G846G244028for she said, "If I but touch his clothes, I will be made well."G1063G3004G3754G2579G680G2579G846G2440G498229Immediately her hemorrhage stopped; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.G2532G2112G4077G846G129G3583G2532G1097G4983G3754G2390G575G314830Immediately aware that power had gone forth from him, Jesus turned about in the crowd and said, "Who touched my clothes?"G2532G2424G2112G1921G1722G1438G1411G1831G1537G846G1994G1722G3793G3004G5101G680G3450G244031And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing in on you; how can you say, 'Who touched me?'"G2532G846G3101G3004G846G991G3793G4918G4571G2532G3004G5101G680G345032He looked all around to see who had done it.G2532G4017G1492G4160G512433But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.G1161G1135G5399G2532G5141G1492G3739G1096G1909G846G2064G2532G4363G846G2532G2036G846G3956G22534He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease."G1161G2036G846G2364G4675G4102G4982G4571G4982G5217G1519G1515G2532G2468G5199G575G4675G314835While he was still speaking, some people came from the leader's house to say, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any further?"G2089G846G2089G2980G2064G575G752G3004G3754G4675G2364G599G5101G4660G1320G208936But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the leader of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe."G1161G2112G2424G191G3056G2980G3004G752G5399G3361G5399G3440G410037He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.G2532G863G3756G3762G4870G846G1508G4074G2532G2385G2532G2491G80G238538When they came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, he saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly.G2532G2064G1519G3624G752G2532G2334G2351G2799G2532G214G418339When he had entered, he said to them, "Why do you make a commotion and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping."G2532G1525G3004G846G5101G2350G2532G2799G3813G599G3756G599G235G251840And they laughed at him. Then he put them all outside, and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.G2532G2606G846G2606G1161G1544G537G1544G3880G3962G2532G3384G3813G2532G3326G846G2532G1531G3699G3813G2258G34541He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha cum," which means, "Little girl, get up!"G2532G2902G3813G5495G3004G846G5008G2891G3739G2076G3177G2877G3004G4671G145342And immediately the girl got up and began to walk about (she was twelve years of age). At this they were overcome with amazement.G2532G2112G2877G450G2532G4043G1063G2258G1427G2094G2532G1839G3173G161143He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.G2532G1291G846G4183G2443G3367G1097G5124G2532G2036G1325G846G5315
