1 Passaram à outra margem do lago, ao território dos gerasenos.
2 Assim que saíram da barca, um homem possesso do espírito imundo saiu do cemitério
3 onde tinha seu refúgio e veio-lhe ao encontro. Não podiam atá-lo nem com cadeia, mesmo nos sepulcros,
4 pois tinha sido ligado muitas vezes com grilhões e cadeias, mas os despedaçara e ninguém o podia subjugar.
5 Sempre, dia e noite, andava pelos sepulcros e nos montes, gritando e ferindo-se com pedras.
6 Vendo Jesus de longe, correu e prostrou-se diante dele, gritando em alta voz:
7 Que queres de mim, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo?Conjuro-te por Deus, que não me atormentes.
8 É que Jesus lhe dizia: Espírito imundo, sai deste homem!
9 Perguntou-lhe Jesus: Qual é o teu nome? Respondeu-lhe: Legião é o meu nome, porque somos muitos.
10 E pediam-lhe com instância que não os lançasse fora daquela região.
11 Ora, uma grande manada de porcos andava pastando ali junto do monte.
12 E os espíritos suplicavam-lhe: Manda-nos para os porcos, para entrarmos neles.
13 Jesus lhos permitiu. Então os espíritos imundos, tendo saído, entraram nos porcos; e a manada, de uns dois mil, precipitou-se no mar, afogando-se.
14 Fugiram os pastores e narraram o fato na cidade e pelos arredores. Então saíram a ver o que tinha acontecido.
15 Aproximaram-se de Jesus e viram o possesso assentado, coberto com seu manto e calmo, ele que tinha sido possuído pela Legião. E o pânico apoderou-se deles.
16 As testemunhas do fato contaram-lhes como havia acontecido isso ao endemoninhado, e o caso dos porcos.
17 Começaram então a rogar-lhe que se retirasse da sua região.
18 Quando ele subia para a barca, veio o que tinha sido possesso e pediu-lhe permissão de acompanhá-lo.
19 Jesus não o admitiu, mas disse-lhe: Vai para casa, para junto dos teus e anuncia-lhes tudo o que o Senhor fez por ti, e como se compadeceu de ti.
20 Foi-se ele e começou a publicar, na Decápole, tudo o que Jesus lhe havia feito. E todos se admiravam.
21 Tendo Jesus navegado outra vez para a margem oposta, de novo afluiu a ele uma grande multidão. Ele se achava à beira do mar, quando
22 um dos chefes da sinagoga, chamado Jairo, se apresentou e, à sua vista, lançou-se-lhe aos pés,
23 rogando-lhe com insistência: Minha filhinha está nas últimas. Vem, impõe-lhe as mãos para que se salve e viva.
24 Jesus foi com ele e grande multidão o seguia, comprimindo-o.
25 Ora, havia ali uma mulher que já por doze anos padecia de um fluxo de sangue.
26 Sofrera muito nas mãos de vários médicos, gastando tudo o que possuía, sem achar nenhum alívio; pelo contrário, piorava cada vez mais.
27 Tendo ela ouvido falar de Jesus, veio por detrás, entre a multidão, e tocou-lhe no manto.
28 Dizia ela consigo: Se tocar, ainda que seja na orla do seu manto, estarei curada.
29 Ora, no mesmo instante se lhe estancou a fonte de sangue, e ela teve a sensação de estar curada.
30 Jesus percebeu imediatamente que saíra dele uma força e, voltando-se para o povo, perguntou: Quem tocou minhas vestes?
31 Responderam-lhe os seus discípulos: Vês que a multidão te comprime e perguntas: Quem me tocou?
32 E ele olhava em derredor para ver quem o fizera.
33 Ora, a mulher, atemorizada e trêmula, sabendo o que nela se tinha passado, veio lançar-se-lhe aos pés e contou-lhe toda a verdade.
34 Mas ele lhe disse: Filha, a tua fé te salvou. Vai em paz e sê curada do teu mal.
35 Enquanto ainda falava, chegou alguém da casa do chefe da sinagoga, anunciando: Tua filha morreu. Para que ainda incomodas o Mestre?
36 Ouvindo Jesus a notícia que era transmitida, dirigiu-se ao chefe da sinagoga: Não temas; crê somente.
37 E não permitiu que ninguém o acompanhasse, senão Pedro, Tiago e João, irmão de Tiago.
38 Ao chegar à casa do chefe da sinagoga, viu o alvoroço e os que estavam chorando e fazendo grandes lamentações.
39 Ele entrou e disse-lhes: Por que todo esse barulho e esses choros? A menina não morreu. Ela está dormindo.
40 Mas riam-se dele. Contudo, tendo mandado sair todos, tomou o pai e a mãe da menina e os que levava consigo, e entrou onde a menina estava deitada.
41 Segurou a mão da menina e disse-lhe: Talita cumi, que quer dizer: Menina, ordeno-te, levanta-te!
42 E imediatamente a menina se levantou e se pôs a caminhar {pois contava doze anos}. Eles ficaram assombrados.
43 Ordenou-lhes severamente que ninguém o soubesse, e mandou que lhe dessem de comer.Jesus de Nazaré
1 And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes,
2 and he having come forth out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3 who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains was any one able to bind him,
4 because that he many times with fetters and chains had been bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him,
5 and always, night and day, in the mountains, and in the tombs he was, crying and cutting himself with stones.
6 And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him,
7 and having called with a loud voice, he said, `What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by God, mayest thou not afflict me!`
8 (for he said to him, `Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,`)
9 and he was questioning him, `What [is] thy name?` and he answered, saying, `Legion [is] my name, because we are many;`
10 and he was calling on him much, that he may not send them out of the region.
11 And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding,
12 and all the demons did call upon him, saying, `Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;`
13 and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea -- and they were about two thousand -- and they were choked in the sea.
14 And those feeding the swine did flee, and told in the city, and in the fields, and they came forth to see what it is that hath been done;
15 and they come unto Jesus, and see the demoniac, sitting, and clothed, and right-minded -- him having had the legion -- and they were afraid;
16 and those having seen [it], declared to them how it had come to pass to the demoniac, and about the swine;
17 and they began to call upon him to go away from their borders.
18 And he having gone into the boat, the demoniac was calling on him that he may be with him,
19 and Jesus did not suffer him, but saith to him, `Go away to thy house, unto thine own [friends], and tell them how great things the Lord did to thee, and dealt kindly with thee;
20 and he went away, and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus did to him, and all were wondering.
21 And Jesus having passed over in the boat again to the other side, there was gathered a great multitude to him, and he was near the sea,
22 and lo, there doth come one of the chiefs of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and having seen him, he doth fall at his feet,
23 and he was calling upon him much, saying -- `My little daughter is at the last extremity -- that having come, thou mayest lay on her [thy] hands, so that she may be saved, and she shall live;`
24 and he went away with him. And there was following him a great multitude, and they were thronging him,
25 and a certain woman, having an issue of blood twelve years,
26 and many things having suffered under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having profited nothing, but rather having come to the worse,
27 having heard about Jesus, having come in the multitude behind, she touched his garment,
28 for she said -- `If even his garments I may touch, I shall be saved;`
29 and immediately was the fountain of her blood dried up, and she knew in the body that she hath been healed of the plague.
30 And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude, said, `Who did touch my garments?`
31 and his disciples said to him, `Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and thou sayest, `Who did touch me!`
32 And he was looking round to see her who did this,
33 and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth,
34 and he said to her, `Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go away in peace, and be whole from thy plague.`
35 As he is yet speaking, there come from the chief of the synagogue`s [house, certain], saying -- `Thy daughter did die, why still dost thou harass the Teacher?`
36 And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, `Be not afraid, only believe.`
37 And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James;
38 and he cometh to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, much weeping and wailing;
39 and having gone in he saith to them, `Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but doth sleep;
40 and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying,
41 and, having taken the hand of the child, he saith to her, `Talitha cumi;` which is, being interpreted, `Damsel (I say to thee), arise.`
42 And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she was twelve years [old]; and they were amazed with a great amazement,
43 and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.
