^{1 Ref} And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes,

^{2 Ref} and he having come forth 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, and not even with chains was any one able to bind him,

^{4 Ref} because that he many times with fetters and chains had been bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him,

^{5 Ref} and always, night and day, in the mountains, and in the tombs he was, crying and cutting himself with stones.

^{6 Ref} And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him,

^{7 Ref} and having called with a loud voice, he said, `What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by God, mayest thou not afflict me!'

^{8 Ref} (for he said to him, `Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,')

^{9 Ref} and he was questioning him, `What `is' thy name?' and he answered, saying, `Legion `is' my name, because we are many;'

^{10 Ref} and he was calling on him much, that he may not send them out of the region.

^{11 Ref} And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding,

^{12 Ref} and all the demons did call upon him, saying, `Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;'

^{13 Ref} and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea -- and they were about two thousand -- and they were choked in the sea.

^{14 Ref} And those feeding the swine did flee, and told in the city, and in the fields, and they came forth to see what it is that hath been done;

^{15 Ref} and they come unto Jesus, and see the demoniac, sitting, and clothed, and right-minded -- him having had the legion -- and they were afraid;

¹⁶ and those having seen `it', declared to them how it had come to pass to the demoniac, and about the swine;

^{17 Ref} and they began to call upon him to go away from their borders.

^{18 Ref} And he having gone into the boat, the demoniac was calling on him that he may be with him,

^{19 Ref} and Jesus did not suffer him, but saith to him, `Go away to thy house, unto thine own `friends', and tell them how great things the Lord did to thee, and dealt kindly with thee;

^{20 Ref} and he went away, and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus did to him, and all were wondering.

^{21 Ref} And Jesus having passed over in the boat again to the other side, there was gathered a great multitude to him, and he was near the sea,

^{22 Ref} and lo, there doth come one of the chiefs of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and having seen him, he doth fall at his feet,

^{23 Ref} and he was calling upon him much, saying -- `My little daughter is at the last extremity -- that having come, thou mayest lay on her `thy' hands, so that she may be saved, and she shall live;'

^{24 Ref} and he went away with him. And there was following him a great multitude, and they were thronging him,

^{25 Ref} and a certain woman, having an issue of blood twelve years,

^{26 Ref} and many things having suffered under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having profited nothing, but rather having come to the worse,

^{27 Ref} having heard about Jesus, having come in the multitude behind, she touched his garment,

²⁸ for she said -- `If even his garments I may touch, I shall be saved;'

^{29 Ref} and immediately was the fountain of her blood dried up, and she knew in the body that she hath been healed of the plague.

^{30 Ref} And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude, said, `Who did touch my garments?'

^{31 Ref} and his disciples said to him, `Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and thou sayest, `Who did touch me!'

³² And he was looking round to see her who did this,

^{33 Ref} and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth,

^{34 Ref} and he said to her, `Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go away in peace, and be whole from thy plague.'

^{35 Ref} As he is yet speaking, there come from the chief of the synagogue's `house, certain', saying -- `Thy daughter did die, why still dost thou harass the Teacher?'

^{36 Ref} And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, `Be not afraid, only believe.'

^{37 Ref} And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James;

^{38 Ref} and he cometh to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, much weeping and wailing;

^{39 Ref} and having gone in he saith to them, `Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but doth sleep;

^{40 Ref} and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying,

^{41 Ref} and, having taken the hand of the child, he saith to her, `Talitha cumi;' which is, being interpreted, `Damsel (I say to thee), arise.'

^{42 Ref} And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she was twelve years `old'; and they were amazed with a great amazement,

^{43 Ref} and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.

^{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.
