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.

1 Nad jõudsid järve vastaskaldale gerasalaste maale. 2 Kui Jeesus paadist välja astus, tuli tema juurde hauakoobastest tulnud rüveda vaimuga mees. 3 See mees elas haudades ja keegi ei olnud suutnud teda isegi ahelatega kinni hoida. 4 Teda oli korduvalt käsist ja jalust aheldatud, kuid ta oli katki rebinud ahelad ja purustanud jalarauad. Keegi ei olnud suutnud teda kinni hoida. 5 Ööl ja päeval viibis ta hauakoobastes ja mägedes, röökis ning tagus end kividega.

6 Kui mees märkas kaugelt Jeesust, jooksis ta ja langes põlvili ta ette maha. 7 Ta kisendas valju häälega: „Mida sa minust tahad, Jeesus, Kõigekõrgema Jumala Poeg? Jumala nimel, ära piina mind!" 8 Sest Jeesus oli öelnud temale: „Rüve vaim, mine temast välja!"

9 „Mis su nimi on?" küsis Jeesus temalt.

„Mu nimi on Leegion, sest meid on palju," vastas ta 10 ja anus väga, et Jeesus neid ära ei ajaks sellelt maalt.

11 Seal lähedal oli mäeveerul suur seakari söömas. 12 Rüvedad vaimud anusid Jeesust: „Saada meid sigadesse, luba, et me läheksime neisse!" 13 Ta andis neile loa ning rüvedad vaimud lahkusid mehest ja läksid sigadesse. Seakari, kokku umbes kaks tuhat looma, tormas järsakust alla järve ja uppus.

14 Ja seakarjused põgenesid ning rääkisid sellest linnas ja maal ning inimesed tulid vaatama, mis oli juhtunud. 15 Kui nad tulid Jeesuse juurde ja nägid kurjast vaimust vaevatud meest, kelles oli olnud terve Leegion, istumas seal riietatuna ja täie mõistuse juures, valdas neid hirm. 16 Pealtnägijad kirjeldasid, mis oli juhtunud kurjast vaimust vaevatud mehe ja sigadega, 17 ja inimesed hakkasid paluma Jeesust, et ta nende piirkonnast lahkuks.

18 Ja kui Jeesus oli paati astumas, palus mees, kes oli olnud kurjast vaimust vaevatud, luba minna koos temaga. 19 Ent Jeesus ei lubanud, vaid ütles: „Mine koju omade juurde ja tunnista neile, mida Issand on sinu heaks teinud ja kuidas ta sinu peale on halastanud." 20 Mees läks ära ja hakkas Dekapolises kuulutama, mida Jeesus oli talle teinud. Ja kõik panid seda imeks.

21 Ja kui Jeesus oli sõitnud paadiga taas vastaskaldale, kogunes suur rahvahulk tema ümber, kui ta alles oli järve ääres. 22 Siis tuli Jairus, üks sünagoogi ülemaist, ja langes Jeesuse ette maha. 23 Ta palus teda tungivalt: „Mu tütreke on suremas! Tule ometi ja pane käed tema peale, et ta saaks terveks ja jääks ellu!" 24 Ja Jeesus läks temaga.

Suur rahvahulk käis tema järel ja tungles tema ümber. 25 Nende hulgas oli kaksteist aastat verejooksu käes kannatanud naine, 26 kes oli palju pidanud vaevlema arstide käes ja ära kulutanud kogu oma vara, kuid polnud saanud abi, vaid haigus oli läinud aina hullemaks. 27 See naine oli kuulnud lugusid Jeesusest ning tuli nüüd rahvahulga seas Jeesuse selja taha ja puudutas tema kuube, 28 sest ta arvas: „Kui ma saaksin kasvõi tema rõivaid puudutada, siis ma paraneksin!" 29 Kohe lakkaski verejooks ning ta tundis oma ihus, et ta oli vabastatud kannatustest.

30 Samal hetkel tundis Jeesus, kuidas vägi temast väljus, ta pööras rahvahulga seas ümber ja küsis: „Kes puudutas mu kuube?"

31 Ta jüngrid ütlesid talle: „Sa näed ju, milline tunglemine on su ümber, ja küsid veel: „Kes mind puudutas?" "

32 Ent Jeesus vaatas ringi, et näha, kes seda oli teinud. 33 Naine, mõistes, mis talle oli sündinud, tuli kartlikult värisedes ning langes Jeesuse jalge ette maha ja rääkis talle kogu tõe. 34 Jeesus lausus talle: „Tütar, sinu usk on sind terveks teinud, mine rahus ja ole vaba oma kannatustest!"

35 Kui Jeesus alles rääkis, tuldi sünagoogi ülema kodust ja öeldi: „Su tütar on surnud, ära enam ilmaaegu Õpetajat tülita!" 36 Ent Jeesus ei hoolinud nende jutust, vaid ütles sünagoogi ülemale: „Ära karda, usu vaid!"

37 Ta ei lubanud kedagi enesega kaasa tulla peale Peetruse, Jaakobuse ja tema venna Johannese. 38 Kui nad saabusid sünagoogi ülema majja, nägi Jeesus käratsemist ja valjult nutvaid ja halisevaid inimesi. 39 Ta astus sisse ja küsis neilt: „Miks te käratsete ja nutate? Laps ei ole surnud, vaid magab!" 40 Ja nad naersid tema üle.

Aga kui ta oli nad kõik välja saatnud, võttis ta kaasa lapse isa ja ema ja oma kaaslased ja astus lapse juurde. 41 Ta võttis kinni lapse käest ja ütles talle: „Talitaa kuum!" See tähendab „Tüdruk, tõuse üles!" 42 Ja tüdruk tõusis otsekohe püsti ja kõndis ringi; ta oli juba kaheteistkümneaastane. Ja neid kõiki valdas tohutu hämmastus. 43 Aga Jeesus keelas neid karmilt sellest rääkimast, ja käskis anda tüdrukule süüa.
