Chapter 5 (CV)

¹ And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gergesenes.
² And at His coming out of the ship, straightway there meets Him a man out of the tombs, with an unclean spirit,
³ who had a dwelling among the tombs. And not even with chains was anyone able any longer to bind him,
⁴ because of his having often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were pulled to pieces by him and the fetters crushed. And no one was strong enough to tame him.
⁵ And continually, night and day, among the tombs and in the mountains was he, crying and gashing himself with stones.
⁶ And perceiving Jesus from afar, he ran and worships Him,
⁷ and, crying with a loud voice, he is saying, "What is it to me and to Thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High! I am adjuring Thee by God: Not me shouldst Thou be tormenting!"
⁸ For He said to it, "Come out, unclean spirit, out of the man!"
⁹ And He inquired of it, "What is your name?" And it is saying to Him, "Legion is my name, for many are we."
¹⁰ And it entreated Him much that He should not be dispatching it out of the country.
¹¹ Now there, toward the mountain, was a great herd of hogs, grazing.
¹² And all the demons entreat Him, saying, "Send us into the hogs, that we may be entering into them."
¹³ And Jesus immediately permits them. And, coming out, the unclean spirits entered into the hogs, and the herd rushes down the precipice into the sea. Now they were about two thousand, and they were choked in the sea.
¹⁴ And those grazing them fled, and they report it in the city and in the fields. And they came to see what it is that has occurred.
¹⁵ And they are coming to Jesus and beholding the demoniac who had the legion, sitting and garmented and sane, and they were afraid.
¹⁶ And those who perceived it relate to them how it came to be with the demoniac, and concerning the hogs.
¹⁷ And they begin to be entreating Him to come away from their boundaries.
¹⁸ And at His stepping into the ship, the demoniac entreated Him that he may be with Him.
¹⁹ And He does not let him, but He is saying to him, "Go into your home, to those who are yours, and report to them whatever the Lord has done for you and how He is merciful to you."
²⁰ And he came away, and begins to herald in the Decapolis whatever Jesus does for him. And all marveled.
²¹ And at Jesus' ferrying again in the ship to the other side a vast throng was gathered to Him, and He was beside the sea.
²² And lo! coming is one of the chiefs of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and, perceiving Him, he is falling at His feet.
²³ And he is entreating Him much, saying that "My little daughter is having her last gasp!" that, "Coming, Thou mayest be placing Thy hands on her, that she may be saved and should be living!"
²⁴ And He came away with him, and a vast throng followed Him, and they crowded Him.
²⁵ And a woman having a hemorrhage twelve years,
²⁶ and suffering much under many physicians, and spending her all and being nothing benefitted, but rather coming to be worse,
²⁷ hearing about Jesus, coming in the throng from behind, touches His cloak.
²⁸ For she said that "If ever I should be touching Him, even if it should be His garments, I shall be saved."
²⁹ And straightway dried is the spring of her blood, and she knew in her body that she has been healed of the scourge.
³⁰ And straightway Jesus, recognizing in Himself the power coming out of Him, being turned about in the throng, said, "Who touches My garments?"
³¹ And His disciples said to Him, "Thou art observing the throng crowding Thee, and art Thou saying, 'Who touches Me?'"
³² And He looked about to see who does this.
³³ Now the woman, being afraid and trembling, being aware of what has occurred to her, came and prostrates to Him, and told Him the entire truth.
³⁴ Now He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be sound from your scourge."
³⁵ While He is still speaking, they are coming from the chief of the synagogue, saying that "Your daughter died. Why are you still bothering the Teacher?"
³⁶ Yet Jesus immediately, disregarding the word spoken, is saying to the chief of the synagogue, "Do not fear! Only believe!"
³⁷ And He does not let anyone follow together with Him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James.
³⁸ And they are coming into the house of the chief of the synagogue, and He is beholding a tumult, and they are lamenting much and screaming.
³⁹ And entering, He is saying to them, "Why are you making a tumult and lamenting? The little girl did not die, but is drowsing."
⁴⁰ And they ridiculed Him. Yet He, ejecting them all, is taking along the father of the little girl and the mother and those with Him, and He is going in where the little girl was lying.
⁴¹ And, holding the hand of the little girl, He is saying to her, "Talitha, coumi!" (which is, being construed, "Maiden, I am saying to you, rouse!").
⁴² And straightway the maiden rose and walked about, for she was about twelve years old. And they were beside themselves, straightway, with great amazement.
⁴³ And He cautions them much that no one may be knowing of this. And He told them to give her something to eat.

Chapter 5 (KJV)

¹ And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
² And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
³ Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
⁴ 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.
⁵ And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
⁶ But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
⁷ 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.
⁸ For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
⁹ And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
¹⁰ And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
¹¹ Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
¹² And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
¹³ 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.
¹⁴ 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.
¹⁵ 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.
¹⁶ And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
¹⁷ And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
¹⁸ And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
¹⁹ 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.
²⁰ And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
²¹ 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.
²² And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
²³ 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.
²⁴ And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
²⁵ And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
²⁶ And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
²⁷ When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
²⁸ For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
²⁹ And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
³⁰ 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?
³¹ And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
³² And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
³³ But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
³⁴ And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
³⁵ 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?
³⁶ As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
³⁷ And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
³⁸ And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
³⁹ And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
⁴⁰ 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.
⁴¹ And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
⁴² And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
⁴³ And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
