Mark 5
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
1 Ref And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
2 Ref And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.
3 Ref He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;
4 Ref Because he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.
5 Ref And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 Ref And when he saw Jesus from far off, he went quickly to him and gave him worship;
7 Ref And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.
8 Ref For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.
9 Ref And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.
10 Ref And he made strong prayers to him not to send them away out of the country.
11 Ref Now on the mountain side there was a great herd of pigs getting their food.
12 Ref And they said to him, Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.
13 Ref And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.
14 Ref And their keepers went running and gave an account of it in the town and in the country. And people came to see what had taken place.
15 Ref And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.
16 And those who had seen it gave them an account of what had been done to him who had the evil spirits, and of the fate of the pigs.
17 Ref And they made a request to him to go out of their country.
18 Ref And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.
19 Ref And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.
20 Ref And he went on his way, and made public in the country of Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men were full of wonder.
21 Ref And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.
22 Ref And one of the rulers of the Synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and seeing him, went down at his feet,
23 Ref And made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.
24 Ref And he went with him; and a great number of people went after him, and came round him.
25 Ref And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,
26 Ref And had undergone much at the hands of a number of medical men, and had given all she had, and was no better, but even worse,
27 Ref When she had news of the things which Jesus did, went among the people coming after him, and put her hand on his robe.
28 For she said, If I may only put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.
29 Ref And straight away the fountain of her blood was stopped, and she had a feeling in her body that her disease had gone and she was well.
30 Ref And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?
31 Ref And his disciples said to him, You see the people round you on every side, and you say, Who was touching me?
32 And on his looking round to see her who had done this thing,
33 Ref The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.
34 Ref And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be free from your disease.
35 Ref And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?
36 Ref But Jesus, giving no attention to their words, said to the ruler of the Synagogue, Have no fear, only have faith.
37 Ref And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.
38 Ref And they came to the house of the ruler of the Synagogue; and he saw people running this way and that, and weeping and crying loudly.
39 Ref And when he had gone in, he said to them, Why are you making such a noise and weeping? The child is not dead, but sleeping.
40 Ref And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 Ref And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.
42 Ref And the young girl got up straight away, and was walking about; she being twelve years old. And they were overcome with wonder.
43 Ref And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.

14 Ref Those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.
15 Ref They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.

22 Ref Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
23 Ref and begged him much, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."
24 Ref He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.

26 Ref and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
27 Ref having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.
28 For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well."
29 Ref Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
30 Ref Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 Ref His disciples said to him, "You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"
32 He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
33 Ref But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 Ref He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."
35 Ref While he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"
36 Ref But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Don't be afraid, only believe."
37 Ref He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38 Ref He came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
39 Ref When he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."
40 Ref They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.
41 Ref Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha cumi;" which means, being interpreted, "Girl, I tell you, get up."
42 Ref Immediately the girl rose up, and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.
43 Ref He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
