1 And it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the gospel of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him,
2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities; Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,
3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herods steward, and Susanna, and many others who ministered to Him out of their possessions.
4 And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke through a parable:
5 A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.
8 But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and produced fruit a hundredfold. When He had said these things He cried out, He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
9 And His disciples asked Him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 And He said, To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the Word of God.
12 Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the Word out of their hearts, that they should not believe and be saved.
13 And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the Word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of trial draw back away.
14 And the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
15 But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the Word with an honest and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with steadfastness.
16 No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light.
17 For nothing is concealed that will not be made manifest, nor anything hidden that will not be perceived and come into plain view.
18 Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.
19 Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and were not able to come up to Him through the crowd.
20 And it was told to Him, saying, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You.
21 But He answered and said to them, My mother and My brothers are these who hear the Word of God and do it.
22 Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, Let us cross over to the other side of the lake. And they launched out.
23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in peril.
24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, Master, Master, we are perishing! Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And He said to them, Where is your faith? And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him.
26 And they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is across from Galilee.
27 And when He stepped out onto the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but among the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!
29 For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demons into the wilderness.
30 Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name? And he said, Legion, because many demons had entered him.
31 And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss.
32 Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them.
33 Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.
34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.
36 They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was healed.
37 Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned.
38 Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you. And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40 So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.
41 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus feet and begged Him to come to his house,
42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds pressed in on Him.
43 And a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any,
44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched Me? When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, Master, the crowds are pressing and crowding You, and You say, Who touched Me?
46 But Jesus said, Somebody touched Me, for I know that power has gone forth out from Me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.
48 And He said to her, Daughter, be of good courage; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.
49 While He was still speaking, someone came from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Your daughter has died. Do not trouble the Teacher.
50 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, Do not fear; only believe, and she will be made well.
51 And when He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, Jacob, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.
52 Now all wept and bewailed her; but He said, Do not weep; she has not died, but is sleeping.
53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she had died.
54 But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, Little girl, arise.
55 And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat.
56 And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
1 E ACONTECEU, depois disto, que andava de cidade em cidade, e de aldeia em aldeia, pregando e anunciando o evangelho do reino de Deus; e os doze iam com ele, 2 E algumas mulheres que haviam sido curadas de espíritos malignos e de enfermidades: Maria, chamada Madalena, da qual saíram sete demônios; 3 E Joana, mulher de Cuza, procurador d’Herodes, e Suzana, e muitas outras que o serviam com suas fazendas.
4 E, ajuntando-se uma grande multidão, e vindo de todas as cidades ter com ele, disse por parábolas: 5 Um semeador saiu a semear a sua semente, e, quando semeava, caiu alguma junto do caminho, e foi pisada, e as aves do céu a comeram; 6 E outra caiu sobre pedra, e, nascida, secou-se, pois que não tinha umidade; 7 E outra caiu entre espinhos, e crescendo com ela os espinhos, a sufocaram; 8 E outra caiu em boa terra, e, nascida, produziu fruto, cento por um. Dizendo ele estas coisas, clamava: Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça. 9 E os seus discípulos o interrogaram, dizendo: Que parábola é esta? 10 E ele disse: A vós vos é dado conhecer os mistérios do reino de Deus, mas aos outros por parábolas, para que, vendo, não vejam, e, ouvindo, não entendam. 11 Esta é pois a parábola: A semente é a palavra de Deus; 12 E os que estão junto do caminho, estes são os que ouvem; depois vem o diabo, e tira-lhes do coração a palavra, para que se não salvem, crendo; 13 E os que estão sobre pedra, estes são os que, ouvindo a palavra, a recebem com alegria, mas, como não têm raiz, apenas creem por algum tempo, e no tempo da tentação se desviam; 14 E a que caiu entre espinhos, esses são os que ouviram, e, indo por diante, são sufocados com os cuidados, e riquezas e deleites da vida, e não dão fruto com perfeição; 15 E a que caiu em boa terra, esses são os que, ouvindo a palavra, a conservam num coração honesto e bom, e dão fruto com perseverança.
16 E ninguém, acendendo uma candeia, a cobre com algum vaso, ou a põe debaixo da cama; mas põe-na no velador, para que os que entram vejam a luz. 17 Porque não há coisa oculta que não haja de manifestar-se, nem escondida que não haja de saber-se e vir à luz. 18 Vede pois como ouvis; porque a qualquer que tiver lhe será dado, e a qualquer que não tiver até o que parece ter lhe será tirado.
19 E foram ter com ele sua mãe e seus irmãos, e não podiam aproximar-se dele, por causa da multidão. 20 E foi-lhe dito: Estão lá fora tua mãe e teus irmãos, que querem ver-te. 21 Mas, respondendo ele, disse-lhes: Minha mãe e meus irmãos são aqueles que ouvem a palavra de Deus e a executam.
22 E aconteceu que, num daqueles dias, entrou num barco com seus discípulos, e disse-lhes: Passemos para a outra banda do lago. E partiram. 23 E, navegando eles, adormeceu; e sobreveio uma tempestade de vento no lago, e enchiam-se d’água, estando em perigo. 24 E, chegando-se a ele, o despertaram, dizendo: Mestre, Mestre, perecemos. E ele, levantando-se, repreendeu o vento e a fúria da água; e cessaram, e fez-se bonança. 25 E disse-lhes: Onde está a vossa fé? E eles, temendo, maravilharam-se, dizendo uns aos outros: Quem é este, que até aos ventos e à água manda, e lhe obedecem?
26 E navegaram para a terra dos gadarenos, que está defronte da Galileia. 27 E, quando desceu para terra, saiu-lhe ao encontro, vindo da cidade, um homem que desde muito tempo estava possesso de demônios, e não andava vestido, nem habitava em qualquer casa, mas nos sepulcros. 28 E, quando viu a Jesus, prostrou-se diante dele, exclamando, e dizendo com grande voz: Que tenho eu contigo Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Peço-te que não me atormentes. 29 Porque tinha ordenado ao espírito imundo que saísse daquele homem; pois já havia muito tempo que o arrebatava. E guardavam-no preso com grilhões e cadeias; mas, quebrando as prisões, era impelido pelo demônio para os desertos. 30 E perguntou-lhe Jesus, dizendo: Qual é o teu nome? E ele disse: Legião; porque tinham entrado nele muitos demônios. 31 E rogavam-lhe que os não mandasse para o abismo. 32 E andava ali pastando no monte uma vara de muitos porcos; e rogaram-lhe que lhes concedesse entrar neles; e concedeu-lho. 33 E, tendo saído os demônios do homem, entraram nos porcos, e a manada precipitou-se de um despenhadeiro no lago, e afogou-se. 34 E aqueles que os guardavam, vendo o que acontecera, fugiram, e foram anunciá-lo na cidade e nos campos. 35 E saíram a ver o que tinha acontecido, e vieram ter com Jesus. Acharam então o homem, de quem haviam saído os demônios, vestido, e em seu juízo, assentado aos pés de Jesus; e temeram. 36 E os que tinham visto contaram-lhes também como fora salvo aquele endemoninhado. 37 E toda a multidão da terra dos gadarenos ao redor lhe rogou que se retirasse deles; porque estavam possuídos de grande temor. E, entrando ele no barco, voltou. 38 E aquele homem, de quem haviam saído os demônios, rogou-lhe que o deixasse estar com ele; mas Jesus o despediu, dizendo: 39 Torna para tua casa, e conta quão grandes coisas te fez Deus. E ele foi apregoando por toda a cidade quão grandes coisas Jesus lhe tinha feito.
40 E aconteceu que, quando voltou Jesus, a multidão o recebeu, porque todos o estavam esperando. 41 E eis que chegou um varão de nome Jairo, que era príncipe da sinagoga; e, prostrando-se aos pés de Jesus, rogava-lhe que entrasse em sua casa; 42 Porque tinha uma filha única, quase de doze anos, que estava à morte. E, indo ele, apertava-o a multidão. 43 E uma mulher, que tinha um fluxo de sangue, havia doze anos, e gastara com os médicos todos os seus haveres, e por nenhum pudera ser curada. 44 Chegando por detrás dele, tocou na orla do seu vestido, e logo estancou o fluxo do seu sangue. 45 E disse Jesus: Quem é que me tocou? E, negando todos, disse Pedro e os que estavam com ele: Mestre, a multidão te aperta e te oprime, e dizes: Quem é que me tocou? 46 E disse Jesus: Alguém me tocou, porque bem conheci que de mim saiu virtude. 47 Então, vendo a mulher que não podia ocultar-se, aproximou-se tremendo, e, prostrando-se ante ele, declarou-lhe diante de todo o povo a causa por que lhe havia tocado, e como logo sarara. 48 E ele lhe disse: Tem bom ânimo, filha, a tua fé te salvou; vai em paz. 49 Estando ele ainda falando, chegou um dos do príncipe da sinagoga, dizendo: A tua filha já está morta, não incomodes o Mestre. 50 Jesus, porém, ouvindo-o, respondeu-lhe, dizendo: Não temas; crê somente, e será salva. 51 E, entrando em casa, a ninguém deixou entrar, senão a Pedro, e a Tiago, e a João, e ao pai e a mãe da menina. 52 E todos choravam, e a pranteavam; e ele disse: Não choreis; não está morta, mas dorme. 53 E riam-se dele, sabendo que estava morta. 54 Mas ele, pegando-lhe na mão, clamou, dizendo: Levanta-te, menina. 55 E o seu espírito voltou, e ela logo se levantou; e Jesus mandou que lhe dessem de comer. 56 E seus pais ficaram maravilhados; e ele lhes mandou que a ninguém dissessem o que havia sucedido.
