Mark 5

1And they cameG2064 to the otherG4008 sideG4008 of the seaG2281, into the countryG5561 of the GerasenesG1086. 2And when he was comeG1831 out of the boatG4143, straightway there met him out of the tombsG3419 a manG444 with an uncleanG169 spiritG4151, 3who had his dwelling in the tombsG3418: and no man could any more bindG1210 him, no, not with a chainG254; 4because that he had been oftenG4178 boundG1210 with fetters and chainsG254, and the chainsG254 had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him. 5And always, nightG3571 and dayG2250, in the tombsG3418 and in the mountainsG3735, he wasG1510 cryingG2896 out, and cutting himself with stonesG3037. 6And when he sawG3708 JesusG2424 from afar, he ranG5143 and worshipped him; 7and cryingG2896 out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, he saith, What have I to do with thee, JesusG2424, thou SonG5207 of the MostG5310 HighG5310 GodG2316? I adjureG3726 thee by GodG2316, tormentG928 me not. 8For he saidG3004 unto him, ComeG1831 forthG1831, thou uncleanG169 spiritG4151, out of the manG444. 9And he askedG1905 him, What isG1510 thy nameG3686? And he saith unto him, My nameG3686 isG1510 LegionG3003; for we areG1510 manyG4183. 10And he besought him muchG4183 that he would not sendG649 them away out of the countryG5561. 11NowG1161 there wasG1510 there on the mountainG3735 side a greatG3173 herdG34 of swine feedingG1006. 12And they besought him, sayingG3004, SendG3992 us into the swine, that we may enterG1525 into them. 13And he gave them leave. And the uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 cameG1831 out, and enteredG1525 into the swine: and the herdG34 rushedG3729 down the steepG2911 into the seaG2281, in number about two thousand; and they were drowned in the seaG2281. 14And they that fed them fledG5343, and toldG518 it in the cityG4172, and in the countryG68. And they cameG2064 to seeG3708 what it wasG1510 that had comeG2064 to passG1096. 15And they comeG2064 to JesusG2424, and behold him that was possessed with demons sittingG2521, clothed and in his right mind, evenG2532 him that had the legionG3003: and they were afraidG5399. 16And they that sawG3708 it declared unto them howG4459 it befell him that was possessed with demons, and concerningG4012 the swine. 17And they beganG757 to beseech him to departG565 from their borders. 18And as he wasG1510 entering into the boatG4143, he that had beenG1510 possessed with demons besought him that he might beG1510 with him. 19And he suffered him not, but saith unto him, GoG5217 to thy houseG3624 unto thy friends, and tellG3004 them howG3745 great things the LordG2962 hath done for thee, and howG3745 he had mercyG1653 on thee. 20And he wentG565 his way, and beganG757 to publish in DecapolisG1179 howG3745 great thingsG3956 JesusG2424 had done for him: and all men marvelled.

21And when JesusG2424 had crossed over againG3825 in the boatG4143 unto the otherG4008 sideG4008, a greatG4183 multitudeG3793 wasG1510 gatheredG4863 unto him; and he wasG1510 by the seaG2281. 22And there cometh oneG1520 of the rulers of the synagogueG752, JaïrusG2383 by nameG3686; and seeingG3708 him, he falleth at his feetG4228, 23and beseecheth him muchG4183, sayingG3004, My littleG2365 daughterG2365 is at the point of death: I pray thee, that thou comeG2064 and lay thy handsG5495 on her, that she may be made whole, and liveG2198. 24And he wentG565 with him; and a greatG4183 multitudeG3793 followedG190 him, and they thronged him.

25And a womanG1135, who had an issue of bloodG129 twelveG1427 yearsG2094, 26and had sufferedG3958 manyG4183 thingsG3956 of manyG4183 physiciansG2395, and had spentG1159 all that she had, and was nothingG3367 bettered, but ratherG3123 grew worse, 27having heardG191 the things concerningG4012 JesusG2424, cameG2064 in the crowdG3793 behind, and touchedG681 his garmentG2440. 28For she saidG3004, If I touchG681 but his garmentsG2440, I shall be made whole. 29And straightway the fountain of her bloodG129 was dried up; and she felt in her bodyG4983 that she was healedG2390 of her plague. 30And straightway JesusG2424, perceiving in himself that the powerG1411 proceeding from him had goneG1831 forthG1831, turnedG1994 him about in the crowdG3793, and saidG3004, Who touchedG681 my garmentsG2440? 31And his disciplesG3101 saidG3004 unto him, Thou seest the multitudeG3793 thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touchedG681 me? 32And he looked round about to seeG3708 her that had done this thingG3778. 33But the womanG1135 fearingG5399 and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, cameG2064 and fell downG4363 before him, and toldG3004 him all the truthG225. 34And he saidG3004 unto her, DaughterG2364, thy faithG4102 hath made thee whole; goG5217 in peaceG1515, and beG1510 whole of thy plague.

35While he yetG2089 spake, they comeG2064 from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, sayingG3004, Thy daughterG2364 is deadG599: whyG5101 troublest thou the TeacherG1320 any further? 36But JesusG2424, not heeding the wordG3056 spokenG2980, saith unto the ruler of the synagogueG752, FearG5399 not, onlyG3440 believeG4100. 37And he suffered no man to follow with him, save PeterG4074, and JamesG2385, and JohnG2491 the brotherG80 of JamesG2385. 38And they comeG2064 to the houseG3624 of the ruler of the synagogueG752; and he beholdeth a tumult, and manyG4183 weepingG2799 and wailing greatly. 39And when he was enteredG1525 in, he saith unto them, WhyG5101 make ye a tumult, and weepG2799? the childG3813 is not deadG599, but sleepeth. 40And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having putG1544 them all forth, taketh the fatherG3962 of the childG3813 and her motherG3384 and them that wereG1510 with him, and goeth in whereG3699 the childG3813 wasG1510. 41And takingG2902 the childG3813 by the handG5495, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi; which isG1510, beingG1510 interpreted, Damsel, I sayG3004 unto thee, AriseG1453. 42And straightway the damsel roseG450 up, and walkedG4043; for she wasG1510 twelveG1427 yearsG2094 old. And they wereG1510 amazed straightway with a greatG3173 amazementG1611. 43And he charged them muchG4183 that no manG3778 should knowG1097 this: and he commanded that something should be givenG1325 her to eatG2068.
