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
5
A Demon-Possessed Man Healed
1Then #Matt. 8:28–34; Luke 8:26–37they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes. 2And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an #Mark 1:23; 7:25; (Rev. 16:13, 14)unclean spirit, 3who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains, 4because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. 5And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. 7And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I #Matt. 26:63; Mark 1:24; Acts 19:13implore You by God that You do not torment me.”
8For He said to him, #Mark 1:25; 9:25; (Acts 16:18)“Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” 9Then He asked him, “What is your name?”
And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” 10Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country.
11Now a large herd of #Lev. 11:7, 8; Deut. 14:8; Luke 15:15, 16swine was feeding there near the mountains. 12So all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the swine, that we may enter them.” 13And at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.
14So those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had happened. 15Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been #Matt. 4:24; 8:16; Mark 1:32demon-possessed and had the legion, #Luke 10:39sitting and #(Is. 61:10)clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. 16And those who saw it told them how it happened to him who had been demon-possessed, and about the swine. 17Then #Matt. 8:34; Acts 16:39they began to plead with Him to depart from their region.
18And when He got into the boat, #Luke 8:38, 39he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him. 19However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.” 20And he departed and began to #Ex. 15:2; Ps. 66:16proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all #Matt. 9:8, 33; John 5:20; 7:21; Acts 3:12; 4:13marveled.
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed
21#Matt. 9:1; Luke 8:40Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. 22#Matt. 9:18–26; Luke 8:41–56; Acts 13:15And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet 23and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and #Matt. 8:15; Mark 6:5; 7:32; 8:23, 25; 16:18; Luke 4:40; Acts 9:17; 28:8lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” 24So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.
25Now a certain woman #Lev. 15:19, 25; Matt. 9:20had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. 27When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and #Matt. 14:35, 36; Mark 3:10; 6:56touched His garment. 28For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”
29Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. 30And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that #Luke 6:19; 8:46power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”
31But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
32And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. 33But the woman, #(Ps. 89:7)fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34And He said to her, “Daughter, #Matt. 9:22; Mark 10:52; Acts 14:9your faith has made you well. #1 Sam. 1:17; 20:42; 2 Kin. 5:19; Luke 7:50; 8:48; Acts 16:36; (James 2:16)Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”
35#Luke 8:49While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”
36As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only #(Mark 9:23; John 11:40)believe.” 37And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who #Mark 16:10; Acts 9:39wept and wailed loudly. 39When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but #John 11:4, 11sleeping.”
40And they ridiculed Him. #Acts 9:40But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. 41Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” 42Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were #Mark 1:27; 7:37overcome with great amazement. 43But #(Matt. 8:4; 12:16–19; 17:9); Mark 3:12He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.
