Jesus Heals a Man Controlled by Demons
1They went across the Sea of Galilee to the area of the Gerasenes. 2When Jesus got out of the boat, a man controlled by an evil spirit came out of the tombs to meet him. 3He lived in the tombs, and no one could keep him tied up anymore, not even with a chain. 4His hands and feet had often been chained, but he tore the chains apart and broke the iron cuffs off his ankles. No one was strong enough to control him. 5Night and day, among the tombs and in the hills, he screamed and cut himself with stones.
6When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran to him and fell on his knees in front of him. 7He shouted at the top of his voice, “Jesus, Son of the Most High God, what do you want with me? Swear by God that you won’t hurt me!” 8This was because Jesus had already said, “Come out of this man, you evil spirit!”
9Then Jesus asked the demon, “What is your name?”
“My name is Legion,” he answered, “because there are many of us.” 10He begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.
11A large herd of pigs was feeding on a hillside nearby. 12The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs. Let us go into them.” 13Jesus permitted that, and the evil spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs. There were about 2,000 pigs in the herd. They all rushed down the steep bank, ran into the lake, and drowned.
14Those who were tending the pigs ran off and told the people in the town and countryside what had happened. The people went out to see for themselves. 15When they got to Jesus, they found the man who’d been controlled by many demons sitting there quietly. He was now dressed and thinking clearly. All this made the people afraid. 16Those who’d been there told them what had happened to the man and to the pigs. 17The people asked Jesus to leave their region.
18As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who’d been controlled by the demons begged to go with him, 19but Jesus wouldn’t let him. Instead, he said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how kind he has been to you.” 20So the man went to the area known as the Ten Cities and began telling how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Suffering Woman
21Jesus went by boat back across the Sea of Galilee. When he landed on the other side, a large crowd gathered around him. 22A man named Jairus, who was a synagogue leader, came with the crowd. When he saw Jesus, he bowed down to the ground in front of him 23and begged him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and place your hands on her to heal her, and then she’ll live.” 24So Jesus went with him.
A large group of people came along with them, and they were crowding all around Jesus. 25Among them was a woman who had a sickness that made her bleed. She’d had it for 12 years 26and she’d suffered a great deal, even though she’d gone to many doctors. Though she’d spent all the money she had, she didn’t get better. She kept getting worse! 27But then she heard about Jesus, 28and she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I’ll be healed.” So she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes. 29Right away her bleeding stopped. She felt in her body that she was free from her suffering.
30Jesus knew right away that some power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31“You can see all these people crowding around you,” his disciples responded. “So why are you asking, ‘Who touched me?’ ”
32But Jesus kept looking around to see who had touched him. 33Then the woman came and fell at his feet. She knew what had happened to her, and she was shaking with fear, but she told him the whole truth. 34He said to her, “My daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”
35While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they told him. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”
36Jesus heard what they were saying. He told Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just believe.”
37Jesus only let Peter, James, and John, the brother of James, come with him. 38As they approached the home of the synagogue leader, they could hear the noise of people crying and sobbing loudly. 39Jesus went inside and asked them, “Why are you all crying so loudly? The child isn’t dead. She’s only sleeping.” 40But they laughed at him.
He made them all go outside, and he brought only the child’s father and mother and his disciples in to where the child was. 41He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (That means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”) 42Right away the girl, who was 12 years old, stood up and began to walk around. They were totally amazed at this. 43Jesus gave them strict orders not to let anyone know what had happened, and he told them to give her something to eat.

Power Over Demons
1They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
2As soon as Yeshua got out of the boat, a man from the graveyard with an unclean spirit met Him.
3He lived among the tombs, and no one could restrain him anymore, even with a chain.
4For he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but the chains had been ripped apart by him and the shackles broken. No one was strong enough to tame him.
5And through it all, night and day, at the graveyard and in the mountains, he kept screaming and gashing himself with stones.
6When he saw Yeshua from a distance, he ran and bowed down before Him.
7Crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What’s between You and me, Yeshua, Ben El Elyon? I’m warning you, in the name of God, do not torment me!”
8For Yeshua had said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”
9Then Yeshua began questioning him, “What is your name?” And he answered, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
10He kept begging Him not to send them out of the country.
11Now a large herd of pigs was feeding on the hillside nearby.
12The unclean spirits urged Him, saying, “Send us to the pigs, so we may enter them.”
13So Yeshua gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs. And the herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the cliff and were drowned in the sea.
14The herdsmen ran away and told the town and countryside, and they came to see what had happened.
15Now they came to Yeshua and saw the madman who had had the legion. He was sitting there, dressed in clothes and in his right mind. The people were scared.
16Those who had seen it described in detail what had happened to the man plagued by a demon, and they also told about the pigs.
17And they began to beg Yeshua to leave their country.
18As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been infested with demons kept begging to remain with Him.
19Yeshua did not let him, but He told him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much Adonai has done for you, how He showed you mercy.”
20So he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Yeshua had done for him. And all were amazed.
Power in His Touch
21When Yeshua had crossed over in the boat again to the other side, a big crowd gathered around Him; and He was by the sea.
22Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, comes. Seeing Him, he falls at His feet.
23He begs Him a great deal, saying, “My little daughter is near death! Come and lay hands on her so that she may be healed and live!”
24So Yeshua went off with him, and a big crowd was following Him and pressing upon Him.
25And there was a woman with a blood flow for twelve years,
26who had suffered much under many doctors. She had spent all that she had without benefit; instead, she grew worse.
27When she heard about Yeshua, she came through the crowd from behind and touched His garment.
28For she kept saying, “If I touch even His clothes, I shall be healed.”
29Right away the blood flow stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed from her disease.
30At once Yeshua, knowing in Himself that power had gone out from Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”
31His disciples responded, “You see the crowd pressing upon You and you say, ‘Who touched Me?’”
32But He kept looking around to see who had done this.
33But the woman, scared and shaking, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.
34And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in shalom and be healed from your disease.”
35While Yeshua was still speaking, messengers come from the house of the synagogue leader, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why do you still trouble the Teacher?”
36But ignoring what they said, Yeshua tells the synagogue leader, “Do not be afraid; only believe.”
37He did not let anyone follow Him except Peter, Jacob, and John, the brother of Jacob.
38They come to the house of the synagogue leader. He sees a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly.
39After entering, He said to them, “Why make such a fuss and weep? The child didn’t die, but is sleeping.”
40They start jeering at Him. But after sending all of them out, He takes the child’s father and mother, and those with Him, and enters where the child was.
41Then, taking hold of the child’s hand, He tells her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.”
42Immediately, the girl stood up and began to walk around! (She was twelve years old.) And they were overcome with astonishment.
43But He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said something to eat should be given to her.
