1. And they came over to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2. And when he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3. Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, no, not with chains:
4. Because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
5. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6. But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped him,
7. And cried out with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I appeal to you by God, that you do not torment me.
8. For he said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.
9. And he asked him, What is your name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
10. And he pleaded with him earnestly that he would not send them away out of the country.
11. Now there was there near to the mountains a large herd of swine feeding.
12. And all the devils pleaded with him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13. And immediately Jesus gave them permission. 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 drowned in the sea.
14. And those who 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.
15. And they came to Jesus, and saw him who was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
16. And those who saw it told them how it happened to him who was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
17. And they began to urge him to depart out of their area.
18. And when he had come into the boat, he who had been possessed with the devil begged him that he might be with him.
19. However Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and has had compassion on you.
20. And he departed, and began to make known in Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him: and all men marveled.
21. And when Jesus had passed over again by boat to the other side, many people gathered to him: and he was near to the sea.
22. And, behold, there came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
23. And pleaded with him urgently, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death: I pray you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
24. And Jesus went with him; and many people followed him, and crowded around him.
25. And a certain woman, who had a flow of blood twelve years,
26. And had suffered many things from many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was not helped at all, but rather grew worse,
27. When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment.
28. For she said, If I may only touch his clothes, I shall be whole.
29. And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him, turned around in the crowd, and said, Who touched my clothes?
31. And his disciples said to him, You see the multitude crowding around you, and you say, Who touched me?
32. And he looked round about to see her who had done this thing.
33. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34. And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you whole; go in peace, and be whole from your infirmity.
35. While he yet spoke, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain people who said, Your daughter is dead: why do you trouble the Master any further?
36. As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he said to the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
37. And he permitted no one to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38. And he came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the tumult, and those who wept and wailed greatly.
39. And when he had come in, he said to them, Why do you make this commotion, and weep? The girl is not dead, but sleeps.
40. And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he took the father and the mother of the girl, and those who were with him, and entered in where the girl was lying.
41. And he took the girl by the hand, and said to her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Child, I say to you, arise.
42. And immediately the girl arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43. And he instructed them strictly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
