Book 41 Mark Chapter 005


005:001	And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
005:002	And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
005:003	Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
005:004	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.
005:005	And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
005:006	But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
005:007	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.
005:008	For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
005:009	And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
005:010	And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
005:011	Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
005:012	And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
005:013	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.
005:014	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.
005:015	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.
005:016	And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
005:017	And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
005:018	And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
005:019	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.
005:020	And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
005:021	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.
005:022	And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
005:023	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.
005:024	And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
005:025	And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
005:026	And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
005:027	When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
005:028	For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
005:029	And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
005:030	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?
005:031	And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
005:032	And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
005:033	But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
005:034	And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
005:035	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?
005:036	As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
005:037	And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
005:038	And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
005:039	And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
005:040	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.
005:041	And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
005:042	And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
005:043	And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
