Mark 5




1.  And they came over * unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

2.  And when he was come * out of the ship, immediately there met * him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

3.  Who had * his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could * bind * him, no, not with chains:

4.  Because that he had been often bound * with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder * by him, and the fetters broken in pieces * : neither could * any man tame * him.

5.  And always, night and day,he was * in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying * , and cutting * himself with stones.

6.  But when he saw * Jesus afar off, he ran * and worshipped * him,

7.  And cried * with a loud voice, and said * , What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure * thee by God, that thou torment * me not.

8.  For he said * unto him, Come * out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

9.  And he asked * him, What is thy name? And he answered * , saying * , My name is Legion:for we are * many.

10.  And he besought * him much that * he would * not send * them away * out of the country.

11.  Now there was * there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding * .

12.  And all the devils besought * him, saying * , Send * us into the swine, that we may enter * into them.

13.  And forthwith Jesus gave * them leave * . And the unclean spirits went out * , and entered * into the swine: and the herd ran * violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were * about two thousand;) and were choked * in the sea.

14.  And they that fed * the swine fled * , and told * it in the city, and in the country. And they went out * to see * what it was * that was done * .

15.  And they come * to Jesus,and see * him that was possessed with the devil * , and had * the legion,sitting * , and clothed * , and in his right mind * : and they were afraid * .

16.  And they that saw * it told * them how it befell * to him that was possessed with the devil * , and also concerning the swine.

17.  And they began * to pray * him to depart * out of their coasts.

18.  And when he was come * into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil * prayed * him that he might be * with him.

19.  Howbeit Jesus suffered * him not, but saith * unto him, Go * home to thy friends, and tell * them how great things the Lord hath done * for thee,and hath had compassion * on thee.

20.  And he departed * , and began * to publish * in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done * for him: and all men did marvel * .

21.  And when Jesus was passed over * again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered * unto him: and he was * nigh unto the sea.

22.  And, behold * , there cometh * one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw * him, he fell * at his feet,

23.  And besought * him greatly,saying * , My little daughter lieth at the point of death * : I pray thee, come * and lay * thy hands on her, that she may be healed * ; and she shall live * .

24.  And Jesus went * with him;and much people followed * him, and thronged * him.

25.  And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood * twelve years,

26.  And had suffered * many things of many physicians, and had spent * all that she had, and was * nothing bettered * , but rather grew * worse,

27.  When she had heard * of Jesus, came * in the press behind, and touched * his garment.

28.  For she said * , If * I may touch * but his clothes, I shall be whole * .

29.  And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up * ; and she felt * in her body that she was healed * of that plague.

30.  And Jesus, immediately knowing * in himself that virtue had gone * out of him, turned him about * in the press, and said * , Who touched * my clothes?

31.  And his disciples said * unto him, Thou seest * the multitude thronging * thee, and sayest thou * , Who touched * me?

32.  And he looked round about * to see * her that had done * this thing.

33.  But the woman fearing * and trembling * , knowing * what was done * in her, came * and fell down before * him, and told * him all the truth.

34.  And he said * unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made * thee whole * ; go * in peace, and be * whole of thy plague.

35.  While * he yet spake * , there came * from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said * , Thy daughter is dead * : why troublest thou * the Master any further?

36.  As soon as Jesus heard * the word that was spoken * , he saith * unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be * not afraid * , only believe * .

37.  And he suffered * no man to follow * him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

38.  And he cometh * to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth * the tumult, and them that wept * and wailed * greatly.

39.  And when he was come in * , he saith * unto them, Why make ye this ado * , and weep * ? the damsel is * not dead * , but sleepeth * .

40.  And they laughed * him to scorn * . But when he had put * them all out * , he taketh * the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in * where the damsel was * lying * .

41.  And he took * the damsel by the hand, and said * unto her, Talitha cumi; which is * , being interpreted * , Damsel, I say * unto thee, arise * .

42.  And straightway the damsel arose * , and walked * ; for she was * of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished * with a great astonishment.

43.  And he charged * them straitly that no man should know * it; and commanded * that something should be given * her to eat * .
