1 E eles chegaram ao outro lado do mar, à terra dos gadarenos.2 E, saindo ele do barco, imediatamente veio ao encontro, dos sepulcros, um homem com espírito imundo,3 o qual tinha sua morada nos sepulcros; e nenhum homem podia prendê-lo, não, nem com correntes;4 porque, tendo sido ele muitas vezes preso com grilhões e correntes, e as correntes foram por ele arrancadas, e os grilhões quebrados em partes, e nenhum homem podia amansá-lo.5 E sempre, noite e dia, ele estava nos montes, e nos sepulcros, gritando, e cortando-se com pedras.6 Mas quando ele 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 Pois ele lhe dizia: Sai deste homem, espírito imundo.9 E ele perguntou-lhe: Qual é o teu nome? E lhe respondeu, dizendo: Meu nome é Legião, porque somos muitos.10 E pedia-lhe muito que não os enviasse para fora daquela terra.11 Ora, estavam ali perto nos montes, uma grande manada de porcos se alimentando.12 E todos os demônios lhe pediram, dizendo: Manda-nos para aqueles porcos, para que possamos entrar neles.13 E imediatamente Jesus lhes deu permissão. E os espíritos imundos saíram, e entraram nos porcos; e a manada desceu violentamente pelo declive para o mar, (eram cerca de dois mil); e eles se afogaram no mar.14 E os que apascentavam os porcos fugiram, e o anunciaram na cidade e nos campos; e eles saíram para ver o que havia acontecido.15 E eles foram até Jesus, e viram aquele que fora possuído pelo demônio, e tivera a legião, assentado, vestido e em perfeito juízo; e eles ficaram com medo.16 E os que tinham visto isso, contaram-lhes o que acontecera ao possuído pelo demônio, e também acerca dos porcos.17 E eles começaram a suplicar-lhe para que saísse das suas regiões.18 E, entrando ele no barco, suplicava-lhe o que fora possuído pelo demônio que pudesse estar com ele.19 Todavia, Jesus não o permitiu, mas disse-lhe: Vai para casa, para teus amigos, e anuncia-lhes quão grandes coisas o Senhor te fez, e como teve compaixão de ti.20 E ele partiu, e começou a divulgar em Decápolis quão grandes coisas Jesus lhe fizera; e todos os homens se maravilharam.21 E, passando Jesus outra vez com o barco para o outro lado, ajuntaram-se a ele muitas pessoas; e ele estava junto do mar.22 E eis que chegou um dos governantes da sinagoga, por nome Jairo, e, vendo-o, prostrou-se aos seus pés,23 e rogava-lhe muito, dizendo: Minha filhinha jaz à beira da morte: Rogo-te, venhas e lhe imponhas as mãos, para que ela seja curada, e ela viverá.24 E Jesus foi com ele, e muitas pessoas o seguiam, e o apertavam.25 E certa mulher, vítima de um fluxo de sangue havia doze anos,26 e tinha sofrido muitas coisas de muitos médicos, e tinha gasto tudo o que ela tinha, e não havia melhorado, mas antes cada vez pior.27 Quando ela tinha ouvido falar de Jesus, veio por detrás comprimida , e tocou na sua veste.28 Porque ela dizia: Se eu somente tocar nas suas vestes eu serei sã.29 E imediatamente a fonte do seu sangue secou, e ela sentiu no seu corpo já estar curada daquela aflição.30 E Jesus, no mesmo instante sabendo que saíra virtude de si mesmo, voltou-se para a multidão, e disse: Quem tocou nas minhas vestes?31 E disseram-lhe os seus discípulos: Tu vês que a multidão te aperta, e dizes: Quem me tocou?32 E ele olhava em redor para ver aquela que tinha feito isso.33 Mas a mulher, atemorizada e trêmula, sabendo o que foi feito a ela, aproximou-se, e caiu no chão diante dele, e disse-lhe toda a verdade.34 E ele lhe disse: Filha, a tua fé te sarou; vai-te em paz, e sê curada desta tua aflição.35 Enquanto ele ainda falava, vieram alguns da casa do governante da sinagoga, a quem disseram: A tua filha está morta; porque ainda incomodas o Mestre?36 Mas Jesus, tão logo ouviu essas palavras, disse ao governante da sinagoga: Não temas, crê somente.37 E ele não permitiu que nenhum homem o seguisse, senão Pedro, Tiago, e João, irmão de Tiago.38 E, tendo chegado à casa do governante da sinagoga, viu o alvoroço, e os que choravam e pranteavam muito.39 E ele entrando, disse-lhes: Por que fazeis alvoroço e chorais? A menina não está morta, mas dorme.40 E riam-se dele. Ele, porém, tendo feito sair a todos, tomou consigo o pai e a mãe da menina, e os que com ele estavam, e entrou onde a menina estava deitada.41 E ele tomando a menina pela mão, disse-lhe: Talita cumi; que, traduzido, é: Menina, a ti te digo, levanta-te.42 E imediatamente a menina se levantou, e andava, pois ela tinha doze anos. E eles assombraram-se com grande espanto.43 E ele ordenou-lhes expressamente que nenhum homem soubesse; e mandou que lhe dessem alguma coisa para ela comer.

1 And they came to the other side of the sea, to 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 was able to bind him, not even with chains,4 because 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.5 And continually, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and did homage to Him.7 And he cried out with a loud voice and said, What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure You by God that You do not torment me.8 For He said to him, Come out of the man, unclean spirit.9 And He asked him, What is your name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion; for we are many.10 He also begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country.11 Now a large herd of swine was feeding there near the mountains.12 So all the demons begged Him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.13 And Jesus immediately gave them permission. And 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.14 And 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.15 And they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been demon-possessed 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 had been demon-possessed, and about the swine.17 And they began to beg Him to depart from their borders.18 And when He got into the boat, he who had been demon-possessed 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 what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.20 And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and everyone marveled.21 And 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 And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet23 and begged Him earnestly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.24 So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.25 And a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years,26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.28 For she said, If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.29 And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she was healed of the 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 But His disciples said to Him, You see the multitude thronging You, and do You say, Who touched Me?32 And He looked around to see her who had done this thing.33 And the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened 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 well. Go in peace, and be healed of your plague.35 While 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?36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, Do not be afraid; only believe.37 And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, Jacob, and John the brother of Jacob.38 And He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who wept and wailed loudly.39 And when He came in, He said to them, Why do you make this commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is sleeping.40 And they ridiculed Him. But 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.41 And He took the child by the hand, and said to her, Talitha, koumi, which is translated, Little girl, I say to you, Arise.42 And immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were beside themselves with great amazement.43 And He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given to her to eat.
