King James Version
On
the other side of the sea, they
arrived
in
the region
of the Gerasenes
.
And
they
came
over
unto
the other side of the sea, into
the country
of the Gadarenes
.
As
soon
as
Jesus
got
out of the boat
, He
was
met by
a man with an unclean spirit, who
was
coming
from
the
tombs.
And
when
he
was
come
out of the ship
, immediately
there
met him
out
of
the
tombs
a man with an unclean spirit,
This
man
had been
living
in
the tombs and could no longer
be
restrained
, even
with chains .
Who
had his
dwelling
among
the tombs ;
and no
man
could bind
him,
no, not
with chains :
Though
he was
often bound with chains
and shackles
, he
had
broken
the chains and shattered
the shackles.
Now
there
was
no
one
with
the
strength
to
subdue
him.
Because
that
he had
been
often bound with fetters
and chains
, and
the chains had
been
plucked
asunder
by
him,
and the fetters
broken
in
pieces:
neither
could
any
man
tame
him.
Night and day in the tombs
and in the mountains
he
kept
crying out
and cutting himself with stones.
And
always,
night and day ,
he
was
in the mountains,
and in the tombs,
crying ,
and cutting himself with stones.
When the
man
saw Jesus from
a
distance
, he ran and fell
on
his
knees
before
Him .
But
when he
saw Jesus afar
off
, he ran and worshipped
him ,
And he
shouted
in
a loud voice, “
What do You
want
with me
, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg
You
before
God not
to
torture
me !”
And cried
with
a loud voice, and
said,
What have
I
to
do with thee
, Jesus, thou
Son of the most high God? I adjure
thee
by
God ,
that
thou
torment
me not.
For Jesus
had
already
declared
, “
Come out of this
man, you
unclean spirit !”
For he
said
unto
him
, Come out of the
man, thou
unclean spirit .
“
What is your
name? ”
Jesus
asked.
“
My name is Legion ,”
he
replied,
“
for we are many. ”
And
he
asked
him,
What is thy
name? And
he
answered,
saying,
My name is Legion :
for we are many.
And he begged
Jesus
repeatedly
not to
send them out of that
region
.
And he besought
him
much
that
he
would
not send them away
out of the
country
.
There on
the nearby
hillside
a large
herd of pigs
was
feeding.
Now
there was
there
nigh
unto
the mountains
a great
herd of swine
feeding.
So
the demons
begged
Jesus
, “
Send us to
the pigs
, so
that we may enter them. ”
And
all
the devils
besought
him
, saying,
Send us into
the swine
, that we may enter into
them.
He
gave them permission,
and the unclean spirits came
out and went
into the pigs,
and the herd of
about
two
thousand
rushed
down the
steep bank
into the sea and drowned
in the water
.
And
forthwith
Jesus
gave them leave.
And the unclean spirits went
out ,
and entered
into the swine:
and the herd ran
violently
down a
steep place
into the sea ,
(they
were
about
two
thousand;)
and were
choked
in the sea
.
Those
tending
the pigs
ran
off
and reported
this
in the town
and
countryside
, and the people
went out to see what had
happened
.
And
they
that
fed
the swine
fled,
and told
it
in the city
, and in
the country.
And
they
went out to see what it
was
that
was
done
.
When
they came
to Jesus, they
saw
the man
who
had been
possessed
by
the legion of
demons
sitting there
, clothed and in his right mind ;
and they were afraid.
And
they come
to Jesus, and
see
him
that
was
possessed
with
the devil,
and
had the legion ,
sitting, and
clothed ,
and in his right mind :
and they were afraid.
Those
who
had
seen
it described
what
had
happened
to the
demon-
possessed man
and also to
the pigs
.
And
they
that
saw
it told
them
how
it
befell
to him
that
was
possessed with
the
devil,
and also concerning
the swine
.
And the
people
began to beg
Jesus
to leave
their region
.
And they
began to pray
him
to depart
out
of
their coasts
.
As
He was getting
into the boat
, the
man
who
had been possessed by
the demons
begged
to
go
with Him.
And
when
he was come
into the ship
, he
that
had been possessed with
the devil
prayed
him
that
he
might
be
with him.
But
Jesus would
not allow
him .
“
Go home to your
own
people,”
He
said
, “
and tell them how much
the Lord has
done for you
, and what
mercy
He
has
shown
you
. ”
Howbeit
Jesus suffered
him
not ,
but
saith
unto
him ,
Go home to thy
friends
, and tell them how great
things
the Lord hath
done for thee
, and hath
had
compassion
on
thee
.
So
the
man
went
away
and began to proclaim
throughout
the
Decapolis how much
Jesus had done for him .
And everyone
was
amazed
.
And he
departed,
and
began to publish
in
Decapolis how great
things
Jesus had done for him :
and all
men
did
marvel
.
When Jesus had
again crossed
by boat
to
the other side, a
large
crowd
gathered around
Him beside
the sea.
And
when Jesus was
passed
over
again by ship
unto
the other side, much
people
gathered unto
him :
and
he
was
nigh
unto
the sea.
A
synagogue leader
named
Jairus
arrived
, and seeing
Jesus
, he fell at His feet
And,
behold,
there
cometh
one
of
the
rulers
of
the
synagogue, Jairus
by
name;
and when
he
saw
him
, he fell at his feet ,
and pleaded
with
Him urgently
, “
My little daughter is
near
death .
Please
come and place
Your
hands on her, so
that she will
be healed and live. ”
And besought
him greatly
, saying,
My little daughter lieth
at
the
point
of
death :
I
pray
thee,
come and lay
thy
hands on her, that she may
be healed ;
and she
shall
live.
So
Jesus went with him ,
and a
large
crowd
followed and pressed
around
Him.
And
Jesus went with him ;
and much
people
followed him,
and thronged
him.
And a woman was
there
who
had suffered
from
bleeding
for
twelve years .
And a certain
woman ,
which
had an
issue
of
blood
twelve years ,
She
had borne
much
agony
under
the
care
of many physicians and had spent all she had, but
to
no
avail.
Instead
, her
condition
had
only
grown
worse .
And
had suffered
many
things
of many physicians ,
and had spent all that
she had, and
was
nothing
bettered
, but
rather
grew
worse ,
When the
woman
heard about
Jesus, she
came up
through
the crowd
behind Him
and touched His cloak
.
When she
had
heard of
Jesus, came in
the press
behind ,
and touched his garment
.
For she kept
saying
, “
If only
I touch His garments
, I will
be healed
. ”
For she said
, If I may
touch but
his clothes
, I shall
be whole
.
Immediately
her bleeding
stopped,
and she sensed
in her body that she was healed of her
affliction
.
And
straightway
the
fountain
of
her blood
was
dried
up;
and she felt
in her body that she was healed of that
plague
.
At
once
Jesus was
aware
that power
had gone out from
Him .
Turning
to
the crowd
, He
asked
, “
Who touched My garments
? ”
And
Jesus ,
immediately
knowing
in
himself
that virtue
had gone out of
him ,
turned
him
about
in
the press
, and
said
, Who touched my clothes
?
His disciples answered
, “You
can
see
the crowd
pressing
in
on
You
, and yet
You
ask
, ‘
Who touched Me? ’”
And
his disciples said
unto
him
, Thou
seest
the multitude
thronging
thee
, and sayest
thou
, Who touched me?
But
He kept
looking
around
to see who
had done this.
And
he looked
round
about
to see her
that
had done this thing
.
Then
the woman, knowing what had
happened
to
her, came and fell down before Him trembling
in
fear
, and she
told Him the whole
truth.
But
the woman fearing
and
trembling
, knowing what was
done
in
her, came and fell down before him, and told him all
the truth.
“Daughter,”
said Jesus
, “your
faith has
healed
you.
Go in peace and be free
of your
affliction
. ”
And
he
said unto
her
, Daughter,
thy
faith hath
made
thee
whole;
go in peace ,
and be whole
of thy
plague
.
While He was
still
speaking
, messengers
from the house
of Jairus
arrived
and
said, “Your
daughter is dead ;
why bother
the Teacher
anymore
? ”
While he yet
spake
, there
came
from the ruler
of the
synagogue's
house
certain
which
said, Thy
daughter is dead :
why troublest
thou
the Master
any
further
?
But
Jesus overheard
their
conversation
and
said
to
Jairus
, “Do
not
be afraid ;
just
believe. ”
As
soon
as
Jesus heard
the
word
that
was
spoken
, he
saith
unto
the
ruler
of
the
synagogue,
Be not
afraid ,
only
believe.
And He did
not
allow
anyone
to accompany
Him except
Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
And he suffered
no
man
to follow
him ,
save
Peter, and
James, and John the brother of James.
When
they
arrived
at
the house of the synagogue leader
, Jesus
saw
the
commotion
and the people
weeping
and wailing
loudly
.
And
he
cometh
to
the house of the ruler
of
the
synagogue, and seeth
the tumult,
and them
that
wept
and
wailed
greatly
.
He
went
inside
and asked
, “
Why all
this commotion
and weeping
? The child
is not dead, but asleep
. ”
And when
he
was
come
in
, he
saith
unto
them,
Why make
ye
this ado,
and weep
? the damsel
is not dead, but sleepeth
.
And they laughed at
Him. After
He had put them all outside
, He took
the child’s
father and mother and His
own
companions
, and went
in to
see
the child
.
And they laughed him to
scorn
. But
when
he had put them all out
, he taketh
the father and the
mother of
the
damsel,
and them
that
were
with
him
, and entereth
in where
the damsel
was
lying
.
Taking
her
by the hand, Jesus
said, “
Talitha koum!”
which means
, “Little
girl
, I say to
you
, get
up!”
And
he
took
the
damsel
by the hand, and
said unto
her
, Talitha cumi;
which is
, being
interpreted
, Damsel,
I say unto
thee
, arise.
Immediately
the girl
got
up
and began
to
walk
around.
She was twelve years old,
and at
once
they were utterly
astounded
.
And
straightway
the damsel
arose,
and walked;
for
she was of
the
age
of
twelve years .
And they were astonished
with
a
great
astonishment
.
Then
Jesus
gave
strict
orders
that no one
should know about
this,
and He
told
them
to
give
her
something to eat.
And
he
charged
them
straitly
that no man
should know it;
and commanded
that
something should
be
given
her
to eat.
