St Mark 5
5
1AND they came over the strait of the sea into the country of the Gerasens.
2And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the monuments a man with an unclean spirit,
3Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains.
4For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him.
5And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.
6And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him.
7And crying with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus the Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not.
8For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
9And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is Legion, for we are many.
10And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of the country.
11And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine, feeding.
12And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits going out, entered into the swine: and the herd with great violence was carried headlong into the sea, being about two thousand, and were stifled in the sea.
14And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the fields. And they went out to see what was done:
15And they came to Jesus, and they see him that was troubled with the devil, sitting, clothed, and well in his wits, and they were afraid.
16And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine.
17And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts.
18And when he went up into the ship, he that had been troubled with the devil, began to beseech him that he might be with him.
19And he admitted him not, but saith to him: Go into thy house to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had mercy on thee.
20And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men wondered.
21And when Jesus had passed again in the ship over the strait, a great multitude assembled together unto him, and he was nigh unto the sea.
22And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue named Jairus: and seeing him, falleth down at his feet.
23And he besought him much, saying: My daughter is at the point of death, come, lay thy hand upon her, that she may be safe, and may live.
24And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.
25And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years,
26And had suffered many things from many physicians; and had spent all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse,
27When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment.
28For she said: If I shall touch but his garment, I shall be whole.
29And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil.
30And immediately Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had proceeded from him, turning to the multitude, said: Who hath touched my garments?
31And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou who hath touched me?
32And he looked about to see her who had done this.
33But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be thou whole of thy disease.
35While he was yet speaking, some come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying: Thy daughter is dead: why dost thou trouble the master any further?
36But Jesus having heard the word that was spoken, saith to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not, only believe.
37And he admitted not any man to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing much.
39And going in, he saith to them: Why make you this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
40And they laughed him to scorn. But he having put them all out, taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
41And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise.
42And immediately the damsel rose up, and walked: and she was twelve years old: and they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43And he charged them strictly that no man should know it: and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

Mark 5

Mark 5
1¶ And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him a man of the tombs, with an unclean spirit,
3who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, no, not with chains,
4because many times he had been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been broken in pieces by him, and the fetters shattered; neither could anyone tame him.
5And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and hurting himself with stones.
6But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him.
7Crying out with a loud voice, he said, What hast thou with me, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
8For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
9And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion, for we are many.
10And he besought him much that he would not send him away out of that country.
11Now near unto the mountains there was a great herd of swine feeding,
12and all those devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out and entered into the swine, and the herd fell over a cliff into the sea (they were about two thousand) and were choked in the sea.
14And those that fed the swine fled and told it in the city and in the country. And people went out to see what it was that had happened.
15And they come to Jesus and see him that was tormented by the demon and had the legion sitting and clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16And those that saw it told them what happened to him that had the demon and also concerning the swine.
17And they began to plead with him to depart out of their borders.
18And as he was entering into the ship, he that had been troubled by the demon besought him that he might be with him.
19But Jesus suffered him not but said unto him, Go home to thy friends and family and tell them what great things the Lord has done with thee and how he has had mercy on thee.
20And he went and began to publish in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done with him, and everyone marveled.
21¶ And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, a great multitude gathered unto him, and he was near the sea.
22And one of the princes of the synagogue came, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet
23and besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death; come and lay thy hands on her that she may be saved, and she shall live.
24And Jesus went with him; and a great multitude followed him and thronged him.
25And a certain woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years
26and had suffered many things of many physicians and had spent all that she had and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse;
27when she had heard of Jesus, came from behind among the multitude and touched his garment.
28For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be saved.
29And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned to the crowd and said, Who touched my clothes?
31And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him and told him all the truth.
34And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith has made thee saved; go in peace and remain whole of thy plague.
35¶ While he yet spoke, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain who said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
36As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he said unto the prince of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
37And he suffered no one to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38And they came to the house of the prince of the synagogue and saw the tumult and those that wept and wailed greatly.
39And when he was come in, he said unto them, Why make ye this ado and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleeps.
40And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he took the father and the mother of the damsel and those that were with him and entered in where the damsel was lying.
41And taking the damsel by the hand, he said unto her, Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
42And straightway the damsel arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43And he charged them straitly that no one should know it and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
