1 他们到了海的那边, 进入格拉森人的地区。

2 耶稣一下船, 就有一个被污灵附着的人, 从墓地里迎面而来。

3 那人经常住在坟墓中间, 从来没有人能绑住他, 甚至用锁链都不能。

4 曾经有很多次, 人用脚镣和锁链捆绑他, 锁链却被他挣断, 脚镣也被他弄碎, 始终没有人能制伏他。

5 他昼夜在坟墓里和山野间喊叫, 又用石头砍自己。

6 他远远地看见耶稣, 就跑过去拜他,

7 大声呼叫, 说: "至高 神的儿子耶稣, 我跟你有什么关系呢?我指着 神恳求你, 不要叫我受苦。"

8 因为当时耶稣吩咐他: "你这污灵, 从这人身上出来! "

9 耶稣问他: "你叫什么名字?"他回答: "我名叫‘群’, 因为我们众多。"

10 他再三央求耶稣, 不要把他们从那地方赶走。

11 附近的山坡上有一大群猪正在吃东西;

12 污灵求耶稣说: "打发我们到猪群那里附在猪身上吧。"

13 耶稣准了他们。污灵就出来, 进到猪群里去, 于是那群猪闯下山崖, 掉在海里淹死了, 猪的数目约有两千。

14 放猪的人都逃跑了, 到城里和各乡村去报告, 大家就来看发生了什么事。

15 他们来到耶稣跟前, 看见那被鬼附过的人, 就是曾被名叫‘群’的鬼附过的人, 坐在那里, 穿上了衣服, 神志清醒, 他们就害怕。

16 看见的人把被鬼附过的人所遭遇的和那群猪的事, 告诉了他们。

17 他们就要求耶稣离开他们的地区。

18 耶稣上船的时候, 那被鬼附过的人来求他, 要和他在一起。

19 耶稣不许, 却对他说: "你回家到你的亲属那里去, 把主为你作了多么大的事, 并他怎样怜悯你, 都告诉他们。"

20 那人就走了, 开始在低加波利传讲耶稣为他所作的大事, 众人都希奇。

21 耶稣又坐船渡到那边; 还在海边的时候, 有一大群人向他围拢过来。

22 当时来了一位会堂的主管, 名叫叶鲁。他一看见耶稣, 就俯伏在他脚前,

23 迫切地求他说: "我的小女儿快要死了, 请你来按手在她身上, 把她救活。"

24 耶稣就和他一起去了。一大群人跟着他, 拥挤着他。

25 有一个女人, 患了十二年的血漏病,

26 在好些医生手中受了许多痛苦, 又花尽了她一切所有的, 不仅毫无起色, 反而更加沉重。

27 她听见耶稣的事, 就从后面来杂在人群中间, 摸耶稣的衣服。

28 因为她说: "只要摸到他的衣服, 我就必痊愈。"

29 于是她血漏的源头立刻干了, 她在身体上感觉到病已经得了医治。

30 耶稣自己立刻觉得有能力从他里面出去, 就转过身来对群众说: "谁摸了我的衣服?"

31 门徒对他说: "你看, 这么多人拥挤你, 你还问‘谁摸我’吗?"

32 耶稣周围观看, 要看作这事的女人。

33 那女人知道在她身上所成就的事, 就恐惧战兢地前来向耶稣俯伏, 把实情全告诉了他。

34 耶稣对她说: "女儿, 你的信使你痊愈了, 平安地回去吧, 你的病已经好了。"

35 耶稣还在说话的时候, 有人从会堂主管的家里来说: "你的女儿已经死了, 何必还劳动老师呢?"

36 耶稣听见所说的话, 就对会堂主管说: "不要怕! 只要信! "

37 于是他不许别人跟他一起去, 只带了彼得、雅各和雅各的弟弟约翰。

38 他们来到会堂主管的家, 耶稣看见许多人哭泣哀号, 一片混乱,

39 就走进去, 对众人说: "为什么大哭大嚷呢?孩子不是死了, 是睡着了。"

40 众人就嘲笑他。耶稣把众人都赶出去, 带着孩子的父母和跟随他的门徒, 进入孩子所在的房间。

41 耶稣拉着孩子的手, 对她说: "大利大, 古米! "翻译出来就是: "小女孩, 我吩咐你起来! "

42 那女孩子就立刻起来行走; 那时她已经十二岁了。众人就非常惊奇。

43 耶稣再三嘱咐他们, 不要让人知道这事, 又吩咐给她东西吃。

1 And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes. 2 And when he was come out of the boat, straightway there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3 who had his dwelling in the tombs: and no man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain; 4 because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him. 5 And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones. 6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him; 7 and crying out with a loud voice, he saith, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not. 8 For he said unto him, Come forth, thou unclean spirit, out of the man. 9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he saith unto him, My name is Legion; for we are many. 10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. 11 Now there was there on the mountain side a great herd of swine feeding. 12 And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 13 And he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the sea, in number about two thousand; and they were drowned in the sea. 14 And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came to see what it was that had come to pass. 15 And they come to Jesus, and behold him that was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him that had the legion: and they were afraid. 16 And they that saw it declared unto them how it befell him that was possessed with demons, and concerning the swine. 17 And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders. 18 And as he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with demons besought him that he might be with him. 19 And he suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go to thy house unto thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and how he 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 marvelled.

21 And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat unto the other side, a great multitude was gathered unto him; and he was by the sea. 22 And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and seeing him, he falleth at his feet, 23 and beseecheth him much, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: I pray thee, that thou come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live. 24 And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.

25 And a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27 having heard the things concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment. 28 For she said, If I touch but his garments, I shall be made whole. 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague. 30 And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments? 31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

35 While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Teacher any further? 36 But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe. 37 And he suffered no man to follow with him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. 38 And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he beholdeth a tumult, and many weeping and wailing greatly. 39 And when he was entered in, he saith unto them, Why make ye a tumult, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleepeth. 40 And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all forth, taketh the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him, and goeth in where the child was. 41 And taking the child by the hand, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, Arise. 42 And straightway the damsel rose up, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed straightway with a great amazement. 43 And he charged them much that no man should know this: and he commanded that something should be given her to eat.
