Mark 5

1And they came over the strait of the sea, into the country of the Gerasens.

1And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

2And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the monuments a man with an unclean spirit,

2And 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.

3Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains.

3He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;

4For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him.

4Because 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.

5And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.

5And 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.

6And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him.

6And when he saw Jesus from far off, he went quickly to him and gave him worship;

7And crying with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus the Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not.

7And 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.

8For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

8For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

9And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is Legion, for we are many.

9And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.

10And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of the country.

10And he made strong prayers to him not to send them away out of the country.

11And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine, feeding.

11Now on the mountain side there was a great herd of pigs getting their food.

12And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

12And they said to him, Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.

13And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits going out, entered into the swine: and the herd with great violence was carried headlong into the sea, being about two thousand, were stifled in the sea.

13And 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.

14And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the fields. And they went out to see what was done:

14And 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.

15And they came to Jesus, and they see him that was troubled with the devil, sitting, clothed, and well in his wits, and they were afraid.

15And 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.

16And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine.

16And 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.

17And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts.

17And they made a request to him to go out of their country.

18And when he went up into the ship, he that had been troubled with the devil, began to beseech him that he might be with him.

18And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.

19And he admitted him not, but saith him: Go into thy house to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had mercy thee.

19And 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.

20And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men wondered.

20And 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.

21And when Jesus had passed again in the ship over the strait, a great multitude assembled together unto him, and he was nigh unto the sea.

21And 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.

22And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue named Jairus: and seeing him, falleth down at his feet.

22And one of the rulers of the Synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and seeing him, went down at his feet,

23And he besought him much, saying: My daughter is at the point of death, come, lay thy hand upon her, that she may be safe, and may live.

23And 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.

24And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.

24And he went with him; and a great number of people went after him, and came round him.

25And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years,

25And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,

26And had suffered many things from many physicians; and had spent all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse,

26And 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,

27When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment.

27When she had news of the things which Jesus did, went among the people coming after him, and put her hand on his robe.

28For she said: If I shall touch but his garment, I shall be whole.

28For she said, If I may only put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.

29And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil.

29And 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.

30And immediately Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had proceeded from him, turning to the multitude, said: Who hath touched my garments?

30And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?

31And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou who hath touched me?

31And his disciples said to him, You see the people round you on every side, and you say, Who was touching me?

32And he looked about to see her who had done this.

32And on his looking round to see her who had done this thing,

33But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

33The 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.

34And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be thou whole of thy disease.

34And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be free from your disease.

35While he was yet speaking, some come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying: Thy daughter is dead: why dost thou trouble the master any further?

35And 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?

36But Jesus having heard the word that was spoken, saith to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not, only believe.

36But Jesus, giving no attention to their words, said to the ruler of the Synagogue, Have no fear, only have faith.

37And he admitted not any man to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

37And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

38And they cone to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing much.

38And 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.

39And going in, he saith to them Why make you this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

39And 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.

40And they laughed him to scorn. But he having put them all out, taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

40And 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.

41And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise.

41And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.

42And immediately the damsel rose up, and walked: and she was twelve years old: and they were astonished with a great astonishment.

42And the young girl got up straight away, and was walking about; she being twelve years old. And they were overcome with wonder.

43And he charged them strictly that no man should know it: and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

43And 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.
