1 E chegaram à outra margem do mar, à província dos gadarenos. 2 E, saindo ele do barco, lhe saiu logo ao seu encontro, dos sepulcros, um homem com espírito imundo, 3 o qual tinha a sua morada nos sepulcros, e nem ainda com cadeias o podia alguém prender. 4 Porque, tendo sido muitas vezes preso com grilhões e cadeias, as cadeias foram por ele feitas em pedaços, e os grilhões, em migalhas, e ninguém o podia amansar. 5 E andava sempre, de dia e de noite, clamando pelos montes e pelos sepulcros e ferindo-se com pedras. 6 E, quando viu Jesus ao longe, correu e adorou-o. 7 E, clamando com grande voz, disse: Que tenho eu contigo, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Conjuro-te por Deus que não me atormentes. 8 (Porque lhe dizia: Sai deste homem, espírito imundo.) 9 E perguntou-lhe: Qual é o teu nome? E lhe respondeu, dizendo: Legião é o meu nome, porque somos muitos. 10 E rogava-lhe muito que os não enviasse para fora daquela província. 11 E andava ali pastando no monte uma grande manada de porcos. 12 E todos aqueles demônios lhe rogaram, dizendo: Manda-nos para aqueles porcos, para que entremos neles. 13 E Jesus logo lho permitiu. E, saindo aqueles espíritos imundos, entraram nos porcos; e a manada se precipitou por um despenhadeiro no mar (eram quase dois mil) e afogou-se no mar. 14 E os que apascentavam os porcos fugiram e o anunciaram na cidade e nos campos; e saíram muitos a ver o que era aquilo que tinha acontecido.

15 E foram ter com Jesus, e viram o endemoninhado, o que tivera a legião, assentado, vestido e em perfeito juízo, e temeram. 16 E os que aquilo tinham visto contaram-lhes o que acontecera ao endemoninhado e acerca dos porcos. 17 E começaram a rogar-lhe que saísse do seu território. 18 E, entrando ele no barco, rogava-lhe o que fora endemoninhado que o deixasse estar com ele. 19 Jesus, porém, não lho permitiu, mas disse-lhe: Vai para tua casa, para os teus, e anuncia-lhes quão grandes coisas o Senhor te fez e como teve misericórdia de ti. 20 E ele foi e começou a anunciar em Decápolis quão grandes coisas Jesus lhe fizera; e todos se maravilhavam.

21 E, passando Jesus outra vez num barco para o outro lado, ajuntou-se a ele uma grande multidão; e ele estava junto do mar. 22 E eis que chegou um dos principais da sinagoga, por nome Jairo, e, vendo-o, prostrou-se aos seus pés 23 e rogava-lhe muito, dizendo: Minha filha está moribunda; rogo-te que venhas e lhe imponhas as mãos para que sare e viva. 24 E foi com ele, e seguia-o uma grande multidão, que o apertava.

25 E certa mulher, que havia doze anos tinha um fluxo de sangue, 26 e que havia padecido muito com muitos médicos, e despendido tudo quanto tinha, nada lhe aproveitando isso, antes indo a pior, 27 ouvindo falar de Jesus, veio por detrás, entre a multidão, e tocou na sua vestimenta. 28 Porque dizia: Se tão somente tocar nas suas vestes, sararei. 29 E logo se lhe secou a fonte do seu sangue, e sentiu no seu corpo estar já curada daquele mal. 30 E logo Jesus, conhecendo que a virtude de si mesmo saíra, voltou-se para a multidão e disse: Quem tocou nas minhas vestes? 31 E disseram-lhe os seus discípulos: Vês que a multidão te aperta, e dizes: Quem me tocou? 32 E ele olhava em redor, para ver a que isso fizera. 33 Então, a mulher, que sabia o que lhe tinha acontecido, temendo e tremendo, aproximou-se, e prostrou-se diante dele, e disse-lhe toda a verdade. 34 E ele lhe disse: Filha, a tua fé te salvou; vai em paz e sê curada deste teu mal.

35 Estando ele ainda falando, chegaram alguns do principal da sinagoga, a quem disseram: A tua filha está morta; para que enfadas mais o Mestre? 36 E Jesus, tendo ouvido essas palavras, disse ao principal da sinagoga: Não temas, crê somente. 37 E não permitiu que alguém o seguisse, a não ser Pedro, e Tiago, e João, irmão de Tiago. 38 E, tendo chegado à casa do principal da sinagoga, viu o alvoroço e os que choravam muito e pranteavam. 39 E, entrando, disse-lhes: Por que vos alvoroçais e chorais? A menina não está morta, mas dorme. 40 E riam-se dele; porém ele, tendo-os feito sair, tomou consigo o pai e a mãe da menina e os que com ele estavam e entrou onde a menina estava deitada. 41 E, tomando a mão da menina, disse-lhe: Talitá cumi, que, traduzido, é: Menina, a ti te digo: levanta-te. 42 E logo a menina se levantou e andava, pois já tinha doze anos; e assombraram-se com grande espanto. 43 E mandou-lhes expressamente que ninguém o soubesse; e disse que lhe dessem de comer.

1 And they came over the strait of the sea into the country of the Gerasens.2 And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the monuments a man with an unclean spirit,3 Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains.4 For 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.5 And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.6 And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him.7 And 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.8 For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit.9 And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is Legion, for we are many.10 And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of the country.11 And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine, feeding.12 And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.13 And 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.14 And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the fields. And they went out to see what was done:15 And 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.16 And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine.17 And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts.18 And 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.19 And 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.20 And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men wondered.21 And 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.22 And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue named Jairus: and seeing him, falleth down at his feet.23 And 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.24 And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.25 And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years,26 And had suffered many things from many physicians; and had spent all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse,27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment.28 For she said: If I shall touch but his garment, I shall be whole.29 And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil.30 And immediately Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had proceeded from him, turning to the multitude, said: Who hath touched my garments?31 And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou who hath touched me?32 And he looked about to see her who had done this.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, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be thou whole of thy disease.35 While 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?36 But Jesus having heard the word that was spoken, saith to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not, only believe.37 And he admitted not any man to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.38 And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing much.39 And going in, he saith to them: Why make you this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.40 And 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.41 And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise.42 And immediately the damsel rose up, and walked: and she was twelve years old: and they were astonished with a great astonishment.43 And he charged them strictly that no man should know it: and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
