Luke 8:22-56

221NowG1161 on oneG1520 of those daysG2250 2Jesus and His disciplesG3101 gotG1684 into a boatG4143, and He saidG3004 to them, “Let’s crossG1330 overG1330 to the otherG4008 sideG4008 of 3the lakeG3041.” SoG2532 they launchedG321 outG321. 23But as they were sailingG4126 along He fellG879 asleepG879; and a fierceG2978 galeG2978 of windG417 descendedG2597 on 4the lakeG3041, and they began to be swampedG4845 and to beG2793 inG2793 dangerG2793. 24They cameG4334 upG4334 toG4334 Jesus and wokeG1326 Him, sayingG3004, “5MasterG1988, MasterG1988, we are perishingG622!” And He gotG1326 upG1326 and 6rebukedG2008 the windG417 and the surgingG2830 7wavesG2830, and they stoppedG3973, and 8it becameG1096 calmG1055. 25And He saidG3004 to them, “WhereG4226 is your faithG4102?” But they wereG5399 fearfulG5399 and amazedG2296, sayingG3004 to oneG240 anotherG240, “WhoG5101 thenG686 is thisG3778, that He commandsG2004 evenG2532 the windsG417 and the waterG5204, and they obeyG5219 Him?”

269ThenG2532 they sailedG2668 to the countryG5561 of the GerasenesG1086, whichG3748 is oppositeG495 GalileeG1056. 27And when He steppedG1831 outG1831 ontoG1909 the landG1093, a manG435 from the cityG4172 metG5221 Him who was possessedG2192 with demonsG1140; and he had not putG1746 on clothingG2440 for a longG2425 timeG5550 and was not livingG3306 in a houseG3614, but amongG1722 the tombsG3418. 28And seeingG3708 JesusG2424, he criedG349 outG349 and fellG4363 downG4363 beforeG4363 Him, and saidG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “1011WhatG5101 business do You have with me, JesusG2424, SonG5207 of 12the MostG5310 HighG5310 GodG2316? I begG1189 You, do not tormentG928 me!” 29For He had already commandedG3853 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151 to comeG1831 outG1831 of the manG444. For it had seizedG4884 him manyG4183 timesG5550; and he was boundG1195 with chainsG254 and shacklesG3976 and keptG5442 underG5442 guardG5442, and yet he would breakG1284 the restraintsG1199 and be drivenG1643 by the demonG1140 into the desertG2048. 30And JesusG2424 askedG1905 him, “WhatG5101 is your nameG3686?” And he saidG3004, “13LegionG3003”; becauseG3754 manyG4183 demonsG1140 had enteredG1525 him. 31And they were beggingG3870 Him not to commandG2004 them to goG565 awayG565 into 14the abyssG12.

32NowG1161 there was a herdG34 of manyG2425 pigsG5519 feedingG1006 thereG1563 on the mountainG3735; and the demons beggedG3870 Him to permitG2010 them to enterG1525 15the pigs. And He gaveG2010 them permissionG2010. 33And the demonsG1140 cameG1831 outG1831 of the manG444 and enteredG1525 the pigsG5519; and the herdG34 rushedG3729 downG2596 the steepG2911 bankG2911 into 16the lakeG3041 and was drownedG638.

34NowG1161 when the herdsmenG1006 sawG3708 what had happenedG1096, they ranG5343 awayG5343 and reportedG518 everything in the cityG4172, and in the countryG68. 35And the people cameG1831 outG1831 to seeG3708 what had happenedG1096; and they cameG2064 to JesusG2424 and foundG2147 the manG444 from whomG3739 the demonsG1140 had goneG1831 outG1831, sittingG2521 downG2521 17at the feetG4228 of JesusG2424, clothedG2439 and in his rightG4993 mindG4993; and they becameG5399 frightenedG5399. 36ThoseG3588 who had seenG3708 everything reportedG518 to them howG4459 the man who had been 18demon-possessedG1139 had been 19madeG4982 wellG4982. 37And allG537 the 20peopleG4128 of the territoryG4066 of the GerasenesG1086 andG4066 theG4066 surroundingG4066 regionG4066 askedG2065 Him to leaveG565 them, becauseG3754 they were overwhelmedG4912 by greatG3173 fearG5401; and He gotG1684 into a boatG4143 and returnedG5290. 3821But the manG435 from whomG3739 the demonsG1140 had goneG1831 outG1831 was beggingG1189 Him that he might 22accompanyG1510G4862 Him; but Jesus sentG630 him awayG630, sayingG3004, 39“ReturnG5290 to your homeG3624 and describeG1334 whatG3745 greatG3745 thingsG3745 GodG2316 has doneG4160 for you.” SoG2532 he wentG565 awayG565, proclaimingG2784 throughoutG2596G3650 the cityG4172 whatG3745 greatG3745 thingsG3745 JesusG2424 had doneG4160 for him.

4023And as JesusG2424 was returningG5290, the 24peopleG3793 welcomedG588 Him, for they had allG3956 beenG1510 waitingG4328 forG4328 Him. 4125And a manG435 namedG3686 JairusG2383 cameG2064, and he was an 2627officialG758 of the synagogueG4864; and he fellG4098 at Jesus’G2424 feetG4228, and began urgingG3870 Him to comeG1525 to his houseG3624; 42for he hadG1510 an onlyG3439 daughterG2364, aboutG5613 twelveG1427 yearsG2094 old, and she was dyingG599. But as He wentG5217, the crowdsG3793 were pressingG4846 againstG4846 Him.

43And a womanG1135 who had sufferedG1510G1722 a chronic flowG4511 of bloodG129 for twelveG1427 yearsG2094, and couldG2480 not be healedG2323 by anyoneG3762, 44cameG4334 upG4334 behindG3693 Him and touchedG681 the fringeG2899 of His 28cloakG2440, and immediatelyG3916 her bleedingG4511G129 stoppedG2476. 45And JesusG2424 saidG3004, “WhoG5101 is the one who touchedG681 Me?” And while they were allG3956 denyingG720 it, PeterG4074 saidG3004, “29MasterG1988, the 30peopleG3793 are crowdingG4912 and pressingG598 in on You.” 46But JesusG2424 saidG3004, “SomeoneG5100 did touchG681 Me, for I was awareG1097 that 31powerG1411 had leftG1831 Me.” 47NowG1161 when the womanG1135 sawG3708 that she had not escapedG2990 noticeG2990, she cameG2064 tremblingG5141 and fellG4363 downG4363 beforeG4363 Him, and admittedG518 inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 allG3956 the peopleG2992 the reasonG156 whyG1223G3739 she had touchedG681 Him, and howG5613 she had been immediatelyG3916 healedG2390. 48And He saidG3004 to her, “DaughterG2364, 32your faithG4102 has 33madeG4982 you wellG4982; 34goG4198 in peaceG1515.”

49While He was stillG2089 speakingG2980, someoneG5100 cameG2064 from the house of 35the synagogueG752 officialG752, sayingG3004, “Your daughterG2364 has diedG2348; do not troubleG4660 the TeacherG1320 anymoreG3371.” 50But when JesusG2424 heardG191 this, He respondedG611 to him, “36Do not beG5399 afraidG5399 any longer; onlyG3440 believeG4100, and she will be 37madeG4982 wellG4982.” 51When He cameG2064 to the houseG3614, He did not allowG863 anyoneG5100 to enterG1525 with Him exceptG1508 PeterG4074, JohnG2491, and JamesG2385, and the girl’sG3816 fatherG3962 and motherG3384. 52NowG1161 they were allG3956 weepingG2799 and 38mourningG2875 for her; but He saidG3004, “StopG3361 weepingG2799, for she has not diedG599, but 39isG2518 asleepG2518.” 53And they began laughingG2606 atG2606 Him, knowingG3609 that she had diedG599. 54He, howeverG1161, tookG2902 her by the handG5495 and spokeG5455 40forcefullyG5455, sayingG3004, “ChildG3816, ariseG1453!” 55And her spiritG4151 returnedG1994, and she gotG450 upG450 immediatelyG3916; and He orderedG1299 that something be givenG1325 her to eatG2068. 56Her parentsG1118 were amazedG1839; but He 41instructedG3853 them to tellG3004 noG3367 oneG3367 what had happenedG1096.
