1 En daarna het Hy die een stad en dorp n die ander deurgereis en gepreek en die evangelie van die koninkryk van God verkondig; en die twaalf was saam met Hom,
2 ook sekere vroue wat genees was van bose geeste en siektes: Maria wat Magdal,na genoem word, uit wie sewe duiwels uitgegaan het,
3 en Johanna, die vrou van Gusa, 'n bestuurder van Herodes, en Susanna en baie ander wat Hom almal met hulle besittings gedien het.
4 En toe daar 'n groot menigte vergader, en die wat uit die verskillende stede by Hom aangesluit het, sê Hy aan hulle deur 'n gelykenis:
5 'n Saaier het uitgegaan om sy saad te saai; en toe hy saai, val 'n deel langs die pad en is vertrap, en die voëls van die hemel het dit opgeëet.
6 En 'n ander deel het op die rots geval; en nadat dit opgeskiet het, het dit verdroog, omdat dit geen vogtigheid gehad het nie.
7 En 'n ander deel het tussen die dorings in geval; en die dorings het daarmee saamgegroei en dit verstik.
8 En 'n ander deel het in die goeie grond geval en gegroei en honderdvoudige vrug opgelewer. Toe Hy dit gesê het, roep Hy uit: Wie ore het om te hoor, laat hom hoor!
9 En sy dissipels het Hom gevra en gesê: Wat beteken hierdie gelykenis tog?
10 En Hy antwoord: Aan julle is dit gegee om die verborgenhede van die koninkryk van God te ken; maar aan die ander deur gelykenisse, sodat hulle, terwyl hulle sien, nie sien nie, en terwyl hulle hoor, nie verstaan nie.
11 Dit is dan die gelykenis: Die saad is die woord van God.
12 Di, langs die pad is die hoorders. Daarna kom die duiwel en neem die woord uit hul harte weg, sodat hulle nie sou glo en gered word nie.
13 En die op die rots is hulle wat die woord met blydskap ontvang wanneer hulle dit hoor; en hulle het geen wortel nie, aangesien hulle net vir 'n tyd glo, en in die tyd van versoeking val hulle af.
14 En wat in die dorings geval het -- dit is die wat gehoor het, en hulle gaan weg en word verstik deur die sorge en rykdom en genietinge van die lewe en dra geen ryp vrug nie.
15 En wat in die goeie grond val -- dit is die wat, nadat hulle gehoor het, die woord in 'n edele en goeie hart hou en met volharding vrug dra.
16 En niemand steek 'n lamp op en maak dit met iets toe of sit dit onder 'n bed nie; maar hy sit dit op 'n staander, sodat die wat inkom, die lig kan sien.
17 Want daar is niks verborge wat nie openbaar sal word nie, of weggesteek wat nie bekend sal word en in die lig sal kom nie.
18 Pas dan op hoe julle hoor; want elkeen wat het, aan hom sal gegee word; en elkeen wat nie het nie, van hom sal weggeneem word ook wat hy dink dat hy het.
19 En sy moeder en broers het na Hom gekom, en weens die skare kon hulle Hom nie bereik nie.
20 Toe bring hulle Hom die boodskap en sê: U moeder en u broers staan buite en wil U sien.
21 Maar Hy antwoord en sê vir hulle: My moeder en my broers is die wat die woord van God hoor en dit doen.
22 En op een van daardie dae het Hy en sy dissipels in 'n skuit gegaan; en Hy het vir hulle gesê: Laat ons oorvaar na die oorkant van die see. En hulle het weggevaar
23 En terwyl hulle seil, raak Hy aan die slaap. Toe kom daar 'n stormwind op die see af en die skuit het begin vol word, en hulle was in gevaar.
24 En hulle het na Hom gegaan en Hom wakker gemaak en gesê: Meester, Meester, ons vergaan! Hy staan toe op en bestraf die wind en die watergolwe, en hulle het bedaar en daar het 'n stilte gekom.
25 En Hy sê vir hulle: Waar is julle geloof? Maar hulle was bang en verwonderd en het vir mekaar gesê: Wie is Hy tog, dat Hy selfs die winde en die water gebied en hulle Hom gehoorsaam is!
26 En hulle het geseil na die land van die Gadar,ners, wat reg anderkant Galil,a is.
27 En toe Hy aan wal uitklim, kom 'n sekere man uit die stad Hom tegemoet, wat vir 'n geruime tyd van duiwels besete was en geen klere gedra het nie; hy het ook nie in 'n huis gewoon nie, maar in die grafte.
28 En toe hy Jesus sien, skreeu hy uit en val voor Hom neer en sê met 'n groot stem: Wat het ons met U te doen, Jesus, Seun van die allerhoogste God? Ek bid U, moet my nie pynig nie --
29 want Hy het aan die onreine gees bevel gegee om uit die man uit te gaan. Want baiekeer het hy hom saamgesleep; en hulle het hom gebind met kettings en voetboeie om oor hom wag te hou; maar hy het die boeie uitmekaar geruk, en die duiwel het hom in die woestyne gedrywe.
30 Daarop vra Jesus hom en sê: Wat is jou naam? En hy antwoord: Legio -- want baie duiwels het in hom ingevaar.
31 En hulle het Hom gesmeek dat Hy hulle nie sou beveel om in die onderwêreld af te vaar nie.
32 En daar het 'n groot trop varke op die berg gewei. Toe smeek hulle Hom dat Hy hulle sou toelaat om in die varke in te vaar. En Hy het hulle toegelaat.
33 Daarop gaan die duiwels uit die man uit en vaar in die varke in, en die trop het van die krans af in die see gestorm en verdrink.
34 En toe die wagters sien wat gebeur het, het hulle gevlug en dit in die stad en in die buitewyke gaan vertel.
35 Daarop het hulle uitgegaan om te sien wat gebeur het; en hulle het by Jesus gekom en die man gevind uit wie die duiwels uitgevaar het, terwyl hy aan die voete van Jesus sit, gekleed en by sy verstand. En hulle het gevrees.
36 En die wat ooggetuies was, het ook aan hulle vertel hoe die besetene genees is.
37 En die hele menigte van die omtrek van die Gadar,ners het Hom gevra om van hulle weg te gaan, omdat hulle deur 'n groot vrees bevang was. Toe het Hy in die skuit geklim en teruggegaan.
38 En die man uit wie die duiwels uitgevaar het, het Hom gebid om by Hom te kan bly. Maar Jesus het hom laat gaan en gesê:
39 Gaan terug na jou huis en vertel watter groot dinge God aan jou gedoen het. En hy het gegaan en deur die hele stad verkondig watter groot dinge Jesus aan hom gedoen het.
40 En toe Jesus terugkom, het die skare Hom verwelkom; want almal was Hom te wagte.
41 En daar kom 'n man wie se naam Ja‹rus was, en hy was 'n owerste van die sinagoge; en hy val voor die voete van Jesus neer en smeek Hom om na sy huis te kom;
42 want sy enigste dogter van omtrent twaalf jaar het op sterwe gelê. En terwyl Hy gaan, het die skare Hom verdring.
43 En 'n vrou wat twaalf jaar lank aan bloedvloeiing gely het, en wat haar hele vermoë aan geneeshere uitgegee het en deur niemand gesond gemaak kon word nie,
44 het van agter af gekom en die soom van sy kleed aangeraak, en haar bloedvloeiing het onmiddellik opgehou.
45 Daarop sê Jesus: Wie is dit wat My aangeraak het? En toe almal dit ontken, sê Petrus en die wat by hom was: Meester, die skare druk en verdring U, en U sê: Wie is dit wat My aangeraak het?
46 Maar Jesus antwoord: Iemand het My aangeraak, want Ek het gemerk dat krag van My uitgegaan het.
47 En toe die vrou sien dat sy nie verborge gebly het nie, kom sy bewende en val voor Hom neer en vertel Hom voor die hele volk om watter rede sy Hom aangeraak het en hoe sy onmiddellik gesond geword het.
48 En Hy sê vir haar: Hou goeie moed, dogter, jou geloof het jou gered. Gaan in vrede.
49 Terwyl Hy nog spreek, kom daar iemand van die owerste van die sinagoge se huis en sê vir hom: U dogter is dood, moenie die Meester lastig val nie.
50 Maar toe Jesus dit hoor, antwoord Hy hom en sê: Moenie vrees nie. Glo net, en sy sal gered word.
51 En toe Hy in die huis kom, het Hy niemand toegelaat om in te gaan nie, behalwe Petrus en Jakobus en Johannes en die vader en die moeder van die meisie.
52 En almal het gehuil en oor haar rou bedryf. Maar Hy sê: Moenie huil nie; sy is nie dood nie, maar slaap.
53 En hulle het Hom uitgelag, want hulle het geweet dat sy dood was.
54 En toe Hy almal na buite uitgejaag het, gryp Hy haar hand en roep uit en sê: Dogtertjie, staan op!
55 En haar gees het teruggekom, en sy het onmiddellik opgestaan; en Hy het beveel dat hulle haar iets te ete moes gee.
56 En haar ouers was verbaas, maar Hy het hulle bevel gegee om aan niemand te sê wat gebeur het nie.
1 And it came about, after a short time, that he went through town and country giving the good news of the kingdom of God, and with him were the twelve,
2 And certain women who had been made free from evil spirits and diseases, Mary named Magdalene, from whom seven evil spirits had gone out,
3 And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's chief house-servant, and Susanna and a number of others, who gave him of their wealth for his needs.
4 And when a great number of people came together, and men from every town went out to him, he gave them teaching in the form of a story:
5 A man went out to put in seed, and while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside and it was crushed under foot, and was taken by the birds of heaven.
6 And some went on the rock, and when it came up it became dry and dead because it had no water.
7 And some went among thorns, and the thorns came up with it and it had no room for growth.
8 And some falling on good earth, came up and gave fruit a hundred times as much. And with these words he said in a loud voice, He who has ears, let him give ear.
9 And his disciples put questions to him about the point of the story.
10 And he said, To you is given knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to the others, they are given in stories, so that seeing, they may not see, and though they give hearing, the sense will not be clear to them.
11 Now this is the point of the story: The seed is the word of God.
12 Those by the side of the road are those who have given hearing; then the Evil One comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not have faith and get salvation.
13 And those on the rock are those who with joy give hearing to the word; but having no root, they have faith for a time, and when the test comes they give up.
14 And those which went among thorns are those who have given hearing, and go on their way, but they are overcome by cares and wealth and the pleasures of life, and they give no fruit.
15 And those in the good earth are those who, having given ear to the word, keep it with a good and true heart, and in quiet strength give fruit.
16 No man, when the light is lighted, puts a cover over it, or puts it under a bed, but he puts it on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.
17 For nothing is put out of view which will not be made clear, and nothing is secret of which the knowledge will not come to light.
18 So take care how you give hearing, for to him who has will be given, and from him who has not will be taken even what he seems to have.
19 And his mother and his brothers came to him, and they were not able to get near him because of the great number of people.
20 And someone said to him, Your mother and your brothers are outside desiring to see you.
21 But he said to them in answer, My mother and my brothers are those who have knowledge of the word of God and do it.
22 Now it came about on one of those days that he got into a boat with his disciples; and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the water: and they put out the boat.
23 But while they were sailing he went to sleep: and a storm of wind came down on the sea, and the boat became full of water and they were in danger.
24 Then they came to him and, awaking him out of his sleep, said, Master, Master, destruction is near. And he, when he was awake, gave orders to the wind and the rolling waves, and the storm came to an end, and all was calm.
25 And he said to them, Where is your faith? And fear and wonder overcame them, and they said to one another, Who then is this, who gives orders even to the winds and the water and they do what he says?
26 And they came to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 And when he had come to the land, there came to him a certain man from the town who had evil spirits; and for a long time he had had no clothing on, and was not living in a house but in the place of the dead.
28 And when he saw Jesus, he gave a loud cry and went down on the earth before him and in a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Do not be cruel to me.
29 For he gave an order to the evil spirit to come out of the man. For frequently it would take a grip of him: and he was kept under control, and prisoned with chains; but parting the chains in two, he would be sent by the driving of the evil spirit into waste places.
30 And Jesus said to him, What is your name? And he said, Legion; for a number of spirits had gone into him.
31 And they made a request to him that he would not give them an order to go away into the deep.
32 Now there was a great herd of pigs in that place, getting food on the mountain: and the evil spirits made a request to him that he would let them go into the pigs, and he let them.
33 And the evil spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs: and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the water and came to destruction.
34 And when the men who took care of them saw what had come about, they went quickly and gave news of it in the town and the country.
35 And they went out to see what had taken place, and they came to Jesus and saw the man out of whom the evil spirits had gone, seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, at the feet of Jesus; and fear came on them.
36 And those who had seen it gave them an account of how the man who had the evil spirits was made well.
37 And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes made a request to him to go away from them; for they were in great fear: and he got into a boat and went back.
38 But the man from whom the evil spirits had gone out had a great desire to be with him, but he sent him away, saying,
39 Go back to your house and let them have news of all the great things which God has done for you. And he went away, giving word through all the town of the great things which Jesus had done for him.
40 And when Jesus went back, the people were glad to see him, for they were all waiting for him.
41 Then there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler in the Synagogue: and he went down at the feet of Jesus, desiring him to come to his house;
42 For he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was near to death. But while he was on his way, the people were pushing to be near him.
43 And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had given all her money to medical men, and not one of them was able to make her well,
44 Came after him and put her hand on the edge of his robe, and straight away the flowing of her blood was stopped.
45 And Jesus said, Who was touching me? And when they all said, It is not I, Peter and those who were with him said, Master, the people are pushing round you on every side.
46 But Jesus said, Someone was touching me, for I had the feeling that power had gone out from me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not able to keep it secret, she came, shaking with fear, and falling down before him she made clear before all the people the reason for her touching him, and how she was made well straight away.
48 And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.
49 While he was still talking, someone came from the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, saying, Your daughter is dead; do not go on troubling the Master.
50 But Jesus at these words said to him, Have no fear, only have faith, and she will be made well.
51 And when he came to the house he did not let any man go in with him, but only Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and her mother.
52 And all the people were weeping and crying for her; but he said, Do not be sad, for she is not dead, but sleeping.
53 And they were laughing at him, being certain that she was dead.
54 But he, taking her hand, said to her, My child, get up.
55 And her spirit came back to her and she got up straight away: and he gave orders that food was to be given to her.
56 And her father and mother were full of wonder, but he gave orders to them to say nothing about it to anyone.
