1And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him from out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3who had his dwelling among the tombs. And no man could bind him, no, not even with chains,
4because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him and the fetters broken in pieces; neither could any man tame him.
5And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped Him,
7and 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!"
8For He had said unto him, "Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit."
9And Jesus asked him, "What is thy name?" And he answered, saying, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
10And he besought Him much that He would not send them away out of the country.
11Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
12And all the devils besought Him, saying, "Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them."
13And 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 and into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.
14And those who fed the swine fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And the people went out to see what it was that had been done.
15And they came to Jesus, and saw him that had been possessed by the devil and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16And those who saw it told the people what had befallen him that was possessed by the devil, and also concerning the swine.
17And they began to pray Him to depart from their borders.
18And when He had gotten into the boat, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed Him that he might be with Him.
19But Jesus suffered him not, and said unto him, "Go home to thy friends, and tell them what great things the Lord hath done for thee, and how He hath had compassion on thee."
20And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him. And all men marveled.
21And when Jesus had passed over again by boat unto the other side, many people gathered unto Him; and He was nigh unto the sea.
22And behold, there came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw Him, he fell at His feet
23and 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."
24And Jesus went with him, and many people followed Him and thronged Him.
25And a certain woman who had an issue of blood twelve years,
26and had suffered many things under many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse,
27when she had heard of Jesus, came up behind Him in the press of the crowd and touched His garment;
28for she said, "If I may touch but His clothes, I shall be whole."
29And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that virtue had gone out of Him, turned about in the press of the crowd and said, "Who touched My clothes?"
31And His disciples said unto Him, "Thou seest the multitude thronging Thee, and sayest Thou, `Who touched Me?'"
32And He looked round about to see her who had done this thing.
33But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came and fell down before Him and told Him all the truth.
34And He said unto her, "Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."
35While He yet spoke, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain ones who said, "Thy daughter is dead; why troublest thou the master any further?"
36As soon as Jesus heard the word that had been spoken, He said unto the ruler of the synagogue, "Be not afraid; only believe."
37And He suffered no man to follow Him, save Peter and James and John, the brother of James.
38And He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the tumult and those who wept and wailed greatly.
39And when He had come in, He said unto them, "Why make ye this ado and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth."
40And they laughed Him to scorn. But when He had put them all out, He took the father and the mother of the damsel and those who were with Him, and entered in where the damsel was lying.
41And He took the damsel by the hand and said unto her, "Talitha cumi," which is, being interpreted, "Damsel, I say unto thee, arise."
42And straightway the damsel arose and walked, for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43And He charged them strictly that no man should know about it, and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
