Luke 8

1And it cameG1096 to passG1096 soon afterwards, that he went about through citiesG4172 and villagesG2968, preachingG2784 and bringing the good tidings of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, and with him the twelveG1427, 2and certainG5100 womenG1135 who had beenG1510 healedG2323 of evilG4190 spiritsG4151 and infirmitiesG769: MaryG3137 that wasG1510 calledG2564 MagdaleneG3094, from whom sevenG2033 demonsG1140 had goneG1831 out, 3and JoannaG2489 the wifeG1135 of Chuzas Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and manyG4183 othersG2087, who ministeredG1247 unto them of their substance.

4And when a greatG4183 multitudeG3793 came together, and they of every cityG4172 resorted unto him, he spake by a parableG3850: 5The sower wentG1831 forthG1831 to sowG4687 his seedG4703: and as he sowedG4687, some fellG4098 by the wayG3598 side; and it was trodden under foot, and the birdsG4071 of the heavenG3772 devouredG2719 it. 6And otherG2087 fell on the rockG4073; and as soon as it grew, it witheredG3583 awayG3583, because it had no moisture. 7And otherG2087 fellG4098 amidst the thornsG173; and the thornsG173 grew with it, and choked it. 8And otherG2087 fellG4098 into the goodG18 groundG1093, and grew, and brought forth fruitG2590 a hundredfold. As he saidG3004 these thingsG3778, he cried, He that hath earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.

9And his disciplesG3101 askedG1905 him what this parableG3850 might beG1510. 10And he saidG3004, Unto you it is givenG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316: but to the restG3062 in parablesG3850; that seeingG991 they may not seeG991, and hearingG191 they may not understandG4920. 11NowG1161 the parableG3850 isG1510 this: The seedG4703 isG1510 the wordG3056 of GodG2316. 12And those by the wayG3598 side areG1510 they that have heardG191; then cometh the devilG1228, and taketh awayG142 the wordG3056 from their heartG2588, that they may not believeG4100 and beG1510 savedG4982. 13And those on the rockG4073 are they who, whenG3752 they have heardG191, receiveG1209 the wordG3056 with joyG5479; and these have no rootG4491, who for a while believeG4100, and in timeG2540 of temptationG3986 fall awayG868. 14And that which fellG4098 among the thornsG173, these areG1510 they that have heardG191, and as they goG4198 on their way they areG1510 chokedG4846 with caresG3308 and richesG4149 and pleasures of this lifeG979, and bring no fruit to perfection. 15And that in the goodG18 groundG1093, these areG1510 such as in an honest and goodG18 heartG2588, having heardG191 the wordG3056, holdG2722 it fastG2722, and bring forth fruitG2592 with patience.

16And no man, when he hath lighted a lampG3088, covereth it with a vesselG4632, or putteth it under a bedG2825; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enterG1531 in may seeG991 the lightG5457. 17For nothing isG1510 hid, that shall not beG1510 made manifest; nor anything secretG2927, that shall not beG1510 knownG1097 and comeG2064 to lightG5318. 18TakeG142 heedG991 thereforeG3767 howG4459 ye hearG191: for whosoever hath, to him shall be givenG1325; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be takenG142 awayG142 evenG2532 that which he thinketh he hath.

19And there cameG3854 to him his motherG3384 and brethren, and they could not comeG3854 at him for the crowdG3793. 20And it was toldG518 him, Thy motherG3384 and thy brethren standG2476 without, desiringG2309 to seeG3708 thee. 21But he answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, My motherG3384 and my brethren areG1510 these that hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, and do it.

22NowG1161 it cameG1096 to passG1330 on oneG1520 of those daysG2250, that he entered into a boatG4143, himself and his disciplesG3101; and he saidG3004 unto them, Let us goG1330 over unto the otherG4008 sideG4008 of the lakeG3041: and they launched forth. 23But as they sailedG4126 he fell asleep: and there cameG2597 down a stormG2978 of windG417 on the lakeG3041; and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy. 24And they cameG4334 to him, and awoke him, sayingG3004, MasterG1988, masterG1988, we perishG622. And he awoke, and rebukedG2008 the windG417 and the raging of the waterG5204: and they ceasedG3973, and there was a calmG1055. 25And he saidG3004 unto them, WhereG4226 isG1510 your faithG4102? And beingG1510 afraidG5399 they marvelled, sayingG3004 oneG240 to another, Who then isG1510 this, that he commandeth evenG2532 the windsG417 and the waterG5204, and they obeyG5219 him?

26And they arrived at the countryG5561 of the GerasenesG1086, which isG1510 over against GalileeG1056. 27And when he was comeG1831 forthG1831 upon the landG1093, there met him a certainG5100 manG435 out of the cityG4172, who had demonsG1140; and for a long timeG5550 he had worn no clothesG2440, and abode not in any houseG3614, but in the tombsG3418. 28And when he sawG3708 JesusG2424, he cried out, and fell downG4363 before him, and with a loudG3173 voiceG5456 saidG3004, What have I to do with thee, JesusG2424, thou SonG5207 of the MostG5310 HighG5310 GodG2316? I beseech thee, tormentG928 me not. 29For he was commandingG3853 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151 to comeG1831 out from the manG444. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was keptG5442 under guardG5442, and bound with chainsG254 and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the demonG1140 into the deserts. 30And JesusG2424 askedG1905 him, What isG1510 thy nameG3686? And he saidG3004, LegionG3003; for manyG4183 demonsG1140 wereG1510 enteredG1525 into him. 31And they entreated him that he would not commandG2004 them to departG565 into the abyssG12. 32NowG1161 there wasG1510 there a herdG34 of manyG2425 swine feedingG1006 on the mountainG3735: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enterG1525 into them. And he gave them leave. 33And the demonsG1140 cameG1831 out from the manG444, and enteredG1525 into the swine: and the herdG34 rushedG3729 down the steepG2911 into the lakeG3041, and were drowned. 34And when they that fed them sawG3708 what had comeG1096 to passG1096, they fledG5343, and toldG518 it in the cityG4172 and in the countryG68. 35And they wentG1831 out to seeG3708 what had comeG2064 to passG1096; and they cameG2064 to JesusG2424, and foundG2147 the manG444, from whom the demonsG1140 were goneG1831 out, sittingG2521, clothed and in his right mind, at the feetG4228 of JesusG2424: and they were afraidG5399. 36And they that sawG3708 it toldG518 them howG4459 he that was possessed with demons was made whole. 37And all the people of the country of the GerasenesG1086 round about askedG2065 him to departG565 from them; for they were holden with greatG3173 fearG5401: and he entered into a boatG4143, and returnedG5290. 38But the manG435 from whom the demonsG1140 wereG1510 goneG1831 out prayedG1189 him that he might beG1510 with him: but he sentG630 him awayG630, sayingG3004, 39ReturnG5290 to thy houseG3624, and declare howG3745 great things GodG2316 hath done for thee. And he wentG565 his way, publishing throughout the wholeG3650 cityG4172 howG3745 great things JesusG2424 had done for him.

40And as JesusG2424 returnedG5290, the multitudeG3793 welcomed him; for they wereG1510 all waiting for him. 41And beholdG2400, there cameG2064 a manG435 namedG3686 JairusG2383, and he was a rulerG758 of the synagogueG4864: and he fellG4098 downG4098 at Jesus’G2424 feetG4228, and besought him to comeG2064 into his houseG3624; 42for he had an onlyG3439 daughterG2364, about twelveG1427 yearsG2094 of age, and she wasG1510 dyingG599. But as he wentG5217 the multitudesG3793 thronged him.

43And a womanG1135 having an issue of bloodG129 twelveG1427 yearsG2094, who had spent all her living upon physiciansG2395, and could not beG1510 healedG2323 of any, 44cameG4334 behind him, and touchedG681 the border of his garmentG2440: and immediatelyG3916 the issue of her bloodG129 stanched. 45And JesusG2424 saidG3004, Who is it that touchedG681 me? And when all deniedG720, PeterG4074 saidG3004, and they that were with him, MasterG1988, the multitudesG3793 press thee and crush thee. 46But JesusG2424 saidG3004, Some oneG5100 did touchG681 me; for I perceived that powerG1411 had goneG1831 forthG1831 from me. 47And whenG5613 the womanG1135 sawG3708 that she was not hid, she cameG2064 trembling, and falling downG4363 before him declaredG518 in the presenceG1799 of all the peopleG2992 for what causeG156 she touchedG681 him, and howG5613 she was healedG2390 immediatelyG3916. 48And he saidG3004 unto her, DaughterG2364, thy faithG4102 hath made thee whole; goG4198 in peaceG1515.

49While he yetG2089 spake, there cometh oneG5100 from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, sayingG3004, Thy daughterG2364 is dead; troubleG4660 not the TeacherG1320. 50But JesusG2424 hearingG191 it, answeredG611 him, FearG5399 not: onlyG3440 believeG4100, and she shall be made whole. 51And when he cameG2064 to the houseG3614, he suffered not any man to enterG1525 in with him, save PeterG4074, and JohnG2491, and JamesG2385, and the fatherG3962 of the maiden and her motherG3384. 52And all were weepingG2799, and bewailing her: but he saidG3004, WeepG2799 not; for she is not deadG599, but sleepeth. 53And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was deadG599. 54But he, takingG2902 her by the handG5495, called, sayingG3004, Maiden, ariseG1453. 55And her spiritG4151 returnedG1994, and she roseG450 up immediatelyG3916: and he commandedG1299 that something be givenG1325 her to eatG2068. 56And her parentsG1118 were amazed: but he charged them to tellG3004 no man what had been done.
