Mark 5

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.
