Mark 5

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.

Mark 5
5
1 And they went across the strait of the sea into the region of the Gerasenes.
2 And as he was departing from the boat, he was immediately met, from among the tombs, by a man with an unclean spirit,
3 who had his dwelling place with the tombs; neither had anyone been able to bind him, even with chains.
4 For having been bound often with shackles and chains, he had broken the chains and smashed the shackles; and no one had been able to tame him.
5 And he was always, day and night, among the tombs, or in the mountains, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 And seeing Jesus from afar, he ran and adored him.
7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said: "What am I to you, Jesus, the Son of the Most High God? I beseech you by God, that you not torment me."
8 For he said to him, "Depart from the man, you unclean spirit."
9 And he questioned him: "What is your name?" And he said to him, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
10 And he entreated him greatly, so that he would not expel him from the region.
11 And in that place, near the mountain, there was a great herd of swine, feeding.
12 And the spirits entreated him, saying: "Send us into the swine, so that we may enter into them."
13 And Jesus promptly gave them permission. And the unclean spirits, departing, entered into the swine. And the herd of about two thousand rushed down with great force into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
14 Then those who pastured them fled, and they reported it in the city and in the countryside. And they all went out to see what was happening.
15 And they came to Jesus. And they saw the man who had been troubled by the demon, sitting, clothed and with a sane mind, and they were afraid.
16 And those who had seen it explained to them how he had dealt with the man who had the demon, and about the swine.
17 And they began to petition him, so that he would withdraw from their borders.
18 And as he was climbing into the boat, the man who had been troubled by the demons began to beg him, so that he might be with him.
19 And he did not permit him, but he said to him, "Go to your own people, in your own house, and announce to them how great are the things that Lord has done for you, and how he has taken pity on you."
20 And he went away and began to preach in the Ten Cities, how great were the things that Jesus had done for him. And everyone wondered.
21 And when Jesus had crossed in the boat, over the strait again, a great crowd came together before him. And he was near the sea.
22 And one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus, approached. And seeing him, he fell prostrate at his feet.
23 And he beseeched him greatly, saying: "For my daughter is near the end. Come and lay your hand on her, so that she may be healthy and may live."
24 And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him, and they pressed upon him.
25 And there was a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years.
26 And she had endured much from several physicians, and she had spent everything she owned with no benefit at all, but instead she became worse.
27 Then, when she had heard of Jesus, she approached through the crowd behind him, and she touched his garment.
28 For she said: "Because if I touch even his garment, I will be saved."
29 And immediately, the source of her bleeding was dried up, and she sensed in her body that she had been healed from the wound.
30 And immediately Jesus, realizing within himself that power that had gone out from him, turning to the crowd, said, "Who touched my garments?"
31 And his disciples said to him, "You see that the crowd presses around you, and yet you say, 'Who touched me?' "
32 And he looked around to see the woman who had done this.
33 Yet truly, the woman, in fear and trembling, knowing what had happened within her, went and fell prostrate before him, and she told him the whole truth.
34 And he said to her: "Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be healed from your wound."
35 While he was still speaking, they arrived from the ruler of the synagogue, saying: "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?"
36 But Jesus, having heard the word that was spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue: "Do not be afraid. You need only believe."
37 And he would not permit anyone to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 And they went to the house of the ruler of the synagogue. And he saw a tumult, and weeping, and much wailing.
39 And entering, he said to them: "Why are you disturbed and weeping? The girl is not dead, but is asleep."
40 And they derided him. Yet truly, having put them all out, he took the father and mother of the girl, and those who were with him, and he entered to where the girl was lying.
41 And taking the girl by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha koumi," which means, "Little girl, (I say to you) arise.
42 And immediately the young girl rose up and walked. Now she was twelve years old. And they were suddenly struck with a great astonishment.
43 And he instructed them sternly, so that no one would know about it. And he told them to give her something to eat.
