1 And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
2 And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.
3 He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;
4 Because he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.
5 And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 And when he saw Jesus from far off, he went quickly to him and gave him worship;
7 And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.
8 For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.
9 And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.
10 And he made strong prayers to him not to send them away out of the country.
11 Now on the mountain side there was a great herd of pigs getting their food.
12 And they said to him, Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.
13 And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.
14 And their keepers went running and gave an account of it in the town and in the country. And people came to see what had taken place.
15 And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.
16 And those who had seen it gave them an account of what had been done to him who had the evil spirits, and of the fate of the pigs.
17 And they made a request to him to go out of their country.
18 And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.
19 And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.
20 And he went on his way, and made public in the country of Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men were full of wonder.
21 And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.
22 And one of the rulers of the Synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and seeing him, went down at his feet,
23 And made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.
24 And he went with him; and a great number of people went after him, and came round him.
25 And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,
26 And had undergone much at the hands of a number of medical men, and had given all she had, and was no better, but even worse,
27 When she had news of the things which Jesus did, went among the people coming after him, and put her hand on his robe.
28 For she said, If I may only put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.
29 And straight away the fountain of her blood was stopped, and she had a feeling in her body that her disease had gone and she was well.
30 And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?
31 And his disciples said to him, You see the people round you on every side, and you say, Who was touching me?
32 And on his looking round to see her who had done this thing,
33 The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.
34 And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be free from your disease.
35 And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?
36 But Jesus, giving no attention to their words, said to the ruler of the Synagogue, Have no fear, only have faith.
37 And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.
38 And they came to the house of the ruler of the Synagogue; and he saw people running this way and that, and weeping and crying loudly.
39 And when he had gone in, he said to them, Why are you making such a noise and weeping? The child is not dead, but sleeping.
40 And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.
42 And the young girl got up straight away, and was walking about; she being twelve years old. And they were overcome with wonder.
43 And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.
1 Ils arrivèrent de l'autre côté de la mer, dans la contrée des Gadaréniens.
2 Et aussitôt que Jésus fut descendu de la barque, un homme, obsédé d'un esprit haineux, sortit des sépulcres et vint au-devant de lui.
3 Il faisait sa demeure dans les sépulcres, et personne ne pouvait le tenir lié, pas même avec des chaînes;
4 Car souvent, ayant eu les fers aux pieds, et ayant été lié de chaînes, il avait rompu les chaînes et brisé les fers; et personne ne pouvait le dompter.
5 Et il demeurait continuellement, nuit et jour, sur les montagnes et dans les sépulcres, criant et se meurtrissant avec des pierres.
6 Quand il eut vu Jésus de loin, il accourut et l'adora,
7 Et il dit, criant à haute voix: Qu'y a-t-il entre toi et moi, Jésus, Fils du Dieu Très-Haut? Je te conjure par le nom de Dieu de ne point me tourmenter.
8 Car Jésus lui disait: Esprit haineux, sors de cet homme.
9 Et Jésus lui demanda: Comment t'appelles-tu? Et il répondit: Je m'appelle Légion; car nous sommes plusieurs.
10 Et il le priait instamment de ne pas les envoyer hors de cette contrée.
11 Or, il y avait là, vers les montagnes, un grand troupeau de pourceaux qui paissait.
12 Et tous les contradicteurs le priaient en disant: Envoie-nous parmi ces pourceaux, afin que nous y entrions. Et aussitôt Jésus le leur permit.
13 Alors ces esprits haineux étant sortis, entrèrent parmi les pourceaux, et le troupeau se précipita violemment d'une falaise dans la mer, et ils se noyèrent dans les flots; or il y en avait environ deux mille.
14 Et ceux qui paissaient les pourceaux s'enfuirent, et en portèrent la nouvelle dans la ville et par la campagne.
15 Alors le peuple sortit pour voir ce qui était arrivé; et ils vinrent vers Jésus et virent le contradicteur, celui qui avait été dominé d’une légion de contradictions, assis, habillé et dans son bon sens; et ils furent remplis de crainte.
16 Et ceux qui avaient vu cela, leur racontèrent ce qui était arrivé à celui qui avait été obsédé de contradictions et aux pourceaux.
17 Alors ils se mirent à le prier de se retirer de leurs quartiers.
18 Et quand il fut entré dans la barque, celui qui avait été dominé le pria de lui permettre d'être avec lui.
19 Mais Jésus ne le lui permit pas, et il dit: Va-t'en dans ta maison vers tes parents, et raconte-leur les grandes choses que l'Éternel t'a faites, et comment il a eu pitié de toi.
20 Et il s'en alla, et se mit à publier dans la Décapole les grandes choses que Jésus lui avait faites; et ils étaient tous dans l'admiration.
21 Jésus étant repassé dans la barque à l'autre bord, une grande foule de peuple s'assembla auprès de lui et il était près de la mer.
22 Et un des chefs de la synagogue, nommé Jaïrus, vint, et l'ayant vu, se jeta à ses pieds,
23 Et le pria instamment, disant: Ma petite fille est à l'extrémité; viens lui imposer les mains, afin qu'elle soit guérie, et elle vivra.
24 Et Jésus s'en alla avec lui; et il fut suivi d'une grande foule, qui le pressait.
25 Alors une femme malade d'une perte de sang, depuis douze ans,
26 Qui avait beaucoup souffert entre les mains de plusieurs médecins, et qui avait dépensé tout son bien sans en avoir reçu aucun soulagement, mais qui était plutôt allée en empirant,
27 Ayant entendu parler de Jésus, vint dans la foule par-derrière, et toucha son vêtement.
28 Car elle disait: Si je touche seulement ses vêtements, je serai guérie.
29 Et au même instant la perte de sang s'arrêta; et elle sentit en son corps qu'elle était guérie de son mal.
30 Aussitôt Jésus, connaissant en lui-même la vertu qui était sortie de lui, se tourna dans la foule, en disant: Qui a touché mon vêtement?
31 Et ses disciples lui dirent: Tu vois que la foule te presse et tu dis: Qui m'a touché?
32 Et il regardait tout autour, pour découvrir celle qui avait fait cela.
33 Alors la femme, effrayée et tremblante, sachant ce qui avait été fait en sa personne, vint et se jeta à ses pieds, et lui dit toute la vérité.
34 Et Jésus lui dit: Ma fille, ta foi t'a guérie; va-t'en en paix, et sois délivrée de ta maladie.
35 Comme il parlait encore, des gens du chef de la synagogue vinrent lui dire: Ta fille est morte; ne donne pas davantage de peine au Maître.
36 Aussitôt que Jésus eut entendu cela, il dit au chef de la synagogue: Ne crains point, crois seulement.
37 Et il ne permit à personne de le suivre, sinon à Pierre, à Jacques et à Jean, frère de Jacques.
38 Étant arrivé à la maison du chef de la synagogue, il vit qu'on y faisait un grand bruit, et des gens qui pleuraient et qui jetaient de grands cris.
39 Et étant entré, il leur dit: Pourquoi faites-vous ce bruit, et pourquoi pleurez-vous? l'enfant n'est pas morte, mais elle dort.
40 Et ils se moquaient de lui; mais les ayant tous fait sortir, il prit le père et la mère de l'enfant, et ceux qui étaient avec lui, et il entra dans le lieu où elle était couchée.
41 Et l'ayant prise par la main, il lui dit: Talitha coumi; c'est-à-dire: Petite fille, lève-toi, je te le dis.
42 Aussitôt la petite fille se leva et se mit à marcher, car elle était âgée de douze ans. Et ils en furent dans un grand ravissement.
43 Et il leur commanda fortement que personne ne le sût; et il dit qu'on donnât à manger à la petite fille.
