1 And it came to pass af­ter­ward, that he went through­out ev­ery city and vil­lage, preach­ing and shew­ing the glad tid­ings of the king­dom of God: and the twelve were with him, 2 And cer­tain wom­en, which had been healed of evil spir­its and in­fir­mi­ties, Mary called Mag­da­lene, out of whom went sev­en dev­ils, 3 And Joan­na the wife of Chuza Herod's stew­ard, and Su­san­na, and many oth­ers, which min­is­tered unto him of their sub­stance. 4 And when much peo­ple were gath­ered to­geth­er, and were come to him out of ev­ery city, he spake by a para­ble: 5 A sow­er went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trod­den down, and the fowls of the air de­voured it. 6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it with­ered away, be­cause it lacked mois­ture. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. 8 And oth­er fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hun­dred­fold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 9 And his dis­ci­ples asked him, say­ing, What might this para­ble be? 10 And he said, Unto you it is giv­en to know the mys­ter­ies of the king­dom of God: but to oth­ers in para­bles; that see­ing they might not see, and hear­ing they might not un­der­stand. 11 Now the para­ble is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the dev­il, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should be­lieve and be saved. 13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, re­ceive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while be­lieve, and in time of temp­ta­tion fall away. 14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and rich­es and plea­sures of this life, and bring no fruit to per­fec­tion. 15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an hon­est and good heart, hav­ing heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with pa­tience. 16 No man, when he hath light­ed a can­dle, cov­ereth it with a ves­sel, or put­teth it un­der a bed; but set­teth it on a can­dle­stick, that they which en­ter in may see the light. 17 For noth­ing is se­cret, that shall not be made man­i­fest; nei­ther any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. 18 Take heed there­fore how ye hear: for whoso­ev­er hath, to him shall be giv­en; and whoso­ev­er hath not, from him shall be tak­en even that which he seemeth to have. 19 Then came to him his moth­er and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. 20 And it was told him ­by certain which said, Thy moth­er and thy brethren stand with­out, de­sir­ing to see thee. 21 And he an­swered and said unto them, My moth­er and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it. 22 Now it came to pass on a cer­tain day, that he went into a ship with his dis­ci­ples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the oth­er side of the lake. And they launched forth. 23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeop­ardy. 24 And they came to him, and awoke him, say­ing, Mas­ter, mas­ter, we per­ish. Then he arose, and re­buked the wind and the rag­ing of the wa­ter: and they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they be­ing afraid won­dered, say­ing one to an­oth­er, What man­ner of man is this! for he com­man­deth even the winds and wa­ter, and they obey him. 26 And they ar­rived at the coun­try of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. 27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a cer­tain man, which had dev­ils long time, and ware no clothes, nei­ther abode in any house, but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Je­sus, he cried out, and fell down be­fore him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Je­sus, thou Son of God most high? I be­seech thee, tor­ment me not. 29 (For he had com­mand­ed the un­clean spir­it to come out of the man. For of­ten­times it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fet­ters; and he brake the bands, and was driv­en of the dev­il into the wilder­ness.) 30 And Je­sus asked him, say­ing, What is thy name? And he said, Le­gion: be­cause many dev­ils were en­tered into him. 31 And they be­sought him that he would not com­mand them to go out into the deep. 32 And there was there an herd of many swine feed­ing on the moun­tain: and they be­sought him that he would suf­fer them to en­ter into them. And he suf­fered them. 33 Then went the dev­ils out of the man, and en­tered into the swine: and the herd ran vi­o­lent­ly down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. 34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the coun­try. 35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Je­sus, and found the man, out of whom the dev­ils were de­part­ed, sit­ting at the feet of Je­sus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. 36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was pos­sessed of the dev­ils was healed. 37 Then the whole mul­ti­tude of the coun­try of the Gadarenes round about be­sought him to de­part from them; for they were tak­en with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and re­turned back again. 38 Now the man out of whom the dev­ils were de­part­ed be­sought him that he might be with him: but Je­sus sent him away, say­ing, 39 Re­turn to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and pub­lished through­out the whole city how great things Je­sus had done unto him. 40 And it came to pass, that, when Je­sus was re­turned, the peo­ple gladly re­ceived him: for they were all wait­ing for him. 41 And, be­hold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the syn­a­gogue: and he fell down at Je­sus' feet, and be­sought him that he would come into his house: 42 For he had one only daugh­ter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dy­ing. But as he went the peo­ple thronged him. 43 And a wom­an hav­ing an is­sue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her liv­ing upon physi­cians, nei­ther could be healed of any, 44 Came be­hind him, and touched the bor­der of his gar­ment: and im­me­di­ate­ly her is­sue of blood stanched. 45 And Je­sus said, Who touched me? When all de­nied, Pe­ter and they that were with him said, Mas­ter, the mul­ti­tude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 46 And Je­sus said, Some­body hath touched me: for I per­ceive that virtue is gone out of me. 47 And when the wom­an saw that she was not hid, she came trem­bling, and falling down be­fore him, she de­clared unto him be­fore all the peo­ple for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed im­me­di­ate­ly. 48 And he said unto her, Daugh­ter, be of good com­fort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. 49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, say­ing to him, Thy daugh­ter is dead; trou­ble not the Mas­ter. 50 But when Je­sus heard it, he an­swered him, say­ing, Fear not: be­lieve on­ly, and she shall be made whole. 51 And when he came into the house, he suf­fered no man to go in, save Pe­ter, and James, and John, and the fa­ther and the moth­er of the maid­en. 52 And all wept, and be­wailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleep­eth. 53 And they laughed him to scorn, know­ing that she was dead. 54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, say­ing, Maid, arise. 55 And her spir­it came again, and she arose straight­way: and he com­mand­ed to give her meat. 56 And her par­ents were as­ton­ished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
