Mark 5

1 They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. 2 When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs. 3 He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains, 4 because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him. 5 Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones. 6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him, 7 and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don’t torment me." 8 For he said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"

9 He asked him, "What is your name?"

He said to him, "My name is Legion, for we are many." 10 He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country. 11 Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding. 12 All the demons begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."

13 At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea. 14 Those who fed the pigs fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

The people came to see what it was that had happened. 15 They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid. 16 Those who saw it declared to them what happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs. 17 They began to beg him to depart from their region.

18 As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him. 19 He didn’t allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you and how he had mercy on you."

20 He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.

21 When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea. 22 Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet 23 and begged him much, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."

24 He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides. 25 A certain woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse, 27 having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes. 28 For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well." 29 Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

31 His disciples said to him, "You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’"

32 He looked around to see her who 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 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."

35 While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"

36 But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Don’t be afraid, only believe." 37 He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38 He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing. 39 When he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."

40 They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying. 41 Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha cumi!" which means, being interpreted, "Girl, I tell you, get up!" 42 Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement. 43 He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.

Jesus cura o endemoninhado geraseno

Mateus 8:28-34; Lucas 8:26-39

1 E chegaram ao outro lado 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 afogaram-se no mar. 14 E os que apascentavam os porcos fugiram, e o anunciaram na cidade e nos campos; e saíram 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 dos seus termos.

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 maravilharam.

A súplica de Jairo

Mateus 9:18,19; Lucas 8:40-42

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 à morte; 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.

Jesus cura uma mulher enferma

Mateus 9:20-22; Lucas 8:42-48

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 veste. 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 poder 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 isto 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.

A filha de Jairo torna a viver

Mateus 9:23-26; Lucas 8:49-56

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 estas palavras, disse ao principal da sinagoga: Não temas, crê somente.

37 E não permitiu que alguém o seguisse, a não ser Pedro, 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: Talita 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.
