Mark

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.
