Mark 5
World English Bible (WEB)
1 Ref They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2 Ref When he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Ref who had his dwelling in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,
4 Ref because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him.
5 Ref Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6 Ref When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
7 Ref and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don't torment me."
8 Ref For he said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"
9 Ref He asked him, "What is your name?" He said to him, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
10 Ref He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11 Ref Now there was on the mountainside a great herd of pigs feeding.
12 Ref All the demons begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."
13 Ref At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
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.
16 Those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
17 Ref They began to beg him to depart from their region.
18 Ref As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.
19 Ref He didn't allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."
20 Ref He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.
21 Ref When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
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.
25 Ref A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,
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.

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.
