AND they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. ²And as he was going out of the vessel, immediately there met him a man with an unclean spirit, ³coming out of the tombs; who had his abode among the tombs; and no man could secure him, not even with chains; ⁴for he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were burst asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces, and no man was able to master him: ⁵and continually night and day he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, screaming, and cutting himself with stones. ⁶But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, ⁷and crying with a loud voice, said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus thou Son of God most high? I adjure thee by God, that thou dost not send me to torment. ⁸(For he had said unto him, Come out, unclean spirit, from the man.) ⁹And he interrogated him, What is thy name? and he replied, saying, Legion is my name; for we are many. ¹⁰And he entreated him much that he would not send them out of the country. ¹¹And a great herd of swine was there feeding on the mountain: ¹²and all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. ¹³And immediately Jesus permitted them. And the unclean spirits going forth, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were suffocated in the sea. ¹⁴Then the swineherds fled, and carried the tidings into the city and into the country. And they went out to see what was done. ¹⁵And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac that had the legion, seated and clothed, and in his sound mind: and they were afraid. ¹⁶And they who saw the transaction, told them how it had been with the demoniac, and concerning the swine. ¹⁷And they began to entreat him to depart out of their coasts.

¹⁸And when he embarked on board the vessel, the demoniac besought him, that he might go with him. ¹⁹But Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, Go to thine house, and to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. ²⁰And he went out, and began to publish in Decapolis, what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men marvelled.

²¹And when Jesus had passed over again in the vessel to the other side, a vast multitude came together unto him; and he was by the sea side. ²²And, behold, there cometh to him one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus; and seeing him, fell at his feet, ²³and entreated him importunately, saying, My little daughter is at the last gasp; wilt thou come, and lay thy hands upon her, that she may recover, and she shall live. ²⁴And he went with him: and there followed him a great crowd, and they thronged him. ²⁵And a certain woman, having a flux of blood twelve years, ²⁶and had suffered much from many physicians; and had expended all she had, and was nothing better, but rather growing worse and worse; ²⁷when she heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment: ²⁸for she said, If I but touch his clothes, I shall recover. ²⁹And instantly the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her afflictive disease. ³⁰And Jesus immediately perceiving in himself that miraculous power had gone forth from him, turning about in the crowd, said, Who touched my garments? ³¹And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the crowd thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? ³²And he looked round to see her who had done this. ³³Then the woman, fearful and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. ³⁴And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace, and be whole from thy distressing disease.

³⁵And while he was yet speaking, they came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying, Thy daughter is dead; why dost thou trouble the master any further? ³⁶But Jesus, instantly hearing the account given, said to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe. ³⁷And he permitted no person to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John a brother of James. ³⁸And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the confusion, as they were greatly lamenting and making loud moanings. ³⁹And entering in he saith, Why make ye this uproar, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. ⁴⁰And they derided him; but he thrusting them all out, took the father and the mother of the maiden, and those who were with him, and went in where the damsel was laid out. ⁴¹And taking the hand of the damsel, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi! which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise! ⁴²And immediately the damsel arose and walked about, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with vast astonishment. ⁴³And he very strongly charged them that no person should know it; and ordered something to be given her to eat.
