Revised Literal Translation

1AndG2532 it came to passG1096 afterwardG2517, thatG2532 heG846 went throughoutG1353 everyG2596 cityG4172 andG2532 villageG2968, preachingG2784 andG2532 shewing the glad tidingsG2097 of the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316: andG2532 the twelveG1427 were withG4862 himG846, 2AndG2532 certainG5100 womenG1135, whichG3739 had beenG1510 healedG2323 ofG575 evilG4190 spiritsG4151 andG2532 infirmitiesG769, MaryG3137 calledG2564 MagdaleneG3094, out ofG575 whomG3739 wentG1831 sevenG2033 devilsG1140, 3AndG2532 JoannaG2489 the wifeG1135 of ChuzaG5529 Herod’sG2264 stewardG2012, andG2532 SusannaG4677, andG2532 manyG4183 othersG2087, whichG3748 ministeredG1247 unto himG846 ofG575 theirG846 substanceG5225. 4

And whenG1161 muchG4183 peopleG3793 were gathered togetherG4896, andG2532 were comeG1975 toG4314 himG846 out of everyG2596 cityG4172, he spakeG3004 byG1223 a parableG3850: 5A sowerG3588G4687 went outG1831 to sowG3588G4687 hisG846 seedG3588G4703: andG2532 asG1722 heG846 sowedG3588G4687, someG3739G3303 fellG4098 byG3844 the way sideG3588G3598; andG2532 it was trodden downG2662, andG2532 the fowlsG3588G4071 of the airG3588G3772 devouredG2719 itG846. 6AndG2532 someG2087 fellG4098 uponG1909 a rockG3588G4073; andG2532 as soon as it was sprung upG5453, it withered awayG3583, becauseG1223 itG3588 lackedG3361G2192 moistureG2429. 7AndG2532 someG2087 fellG4098 amongG3319 thornsG3588G173; andG2532 the thornsG3588G173 sprang up with itG4855, and chokedG638 itG846. 8AndG2532 otherG2087 fellG4098 onG1909 goodG18 groundG3588G1093, andG2532 sprang upG5453, and bareG4160 fruitG2590 an hundredfoldG1542. And when he had saidG3004 these thingsG3778, he criedG5455, He that hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191. 9AndG1161 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 mightG1510 thisG3778 parableG3588G3850 beG1510? 10AndG1161 he saidG3004, Unto youG4771 it is givenG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3588G3466 of the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316: butG1161 to othersG3062 inG1722 parablesG3850; thatG2443 seeingG991 they mightG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 hearingG191 they mightG4920 notG3361 understandG4920. 11NowG1161 the parableG3588G3850 isG1510 thisG3778: The seedG3588G4703 isG1510 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316. 12ThoseG3588 byG3844 the way sideG3588G3598 are theyG1510 thatG3588 hearG191; thenG1534 comethG2064 the devilG1228, andG2532 taketh awayG142 the wordG3588G3056 out ofG575 theirG846 heartsG3588G2588, lestG3361 they should believeG4100 and be savedG4982. 13TheyG3588 onG1909 the rockG3588G4073 are they, whichG3739, whenG3752 they hearG191, receiveG1209 the wordG3588G3056 withG3326 joyG5479; andG2532 theseG3778 haveG2192 noG3756 rootG4491, whichG3739 forG4314 a whileG2540 believeG4100, andG2532 inG1722 timeG2540 of temptationG3986 fall awayG868. 14AndG1161 thatG3588 which fellG4098 amongG1519 thornsG3588G173 areG1510 theyG3778, whichG3588, when they have heardG191, go forthG4198, andG2532 are chokedG4846 withG5259 caresG3308 andG2532 richesG4149 andG2532 pleasuresG2237 ofG3588G979 this lifeG3588G979, andG2532 bringG5052 no fruitG3756 to perfectionG5052. 15ButG1161 thatG3588 onG1722 the goodG2570 groundG1093 areG1510 theyG3778, whichG3748 inG1722 an honestG18 andG2532 goodG2570 heartG2588, having heardG191 the wordG3588G3056, keepG2722 it, andG2532 bring forth fruitG2592 withG1722 patienceG5281. 16

No manG3762, when he hath lightedG681 a candleG3088, coverethG2572 itG846 with a vesselG4632, orG2228 puttethG5087 it underG5270 a bedG2825; butG235 settethG2007 it onG1909 a candlestickG3087, thatG2443 they which enter inG1531 may seeG991 the lightG3588G5457. 17ForG1063 nothingG3756 isG1510 secretG2927, thatG3739 shallG1096 notG3756 be madeG1096 manifestG5318; neitherG3761 any thing hidG614, thatG3739 shallG1097 notG3756 be knownG1097 andG2532 comeG2064 abroadG5318. 18Take heedG991 thereforeG3767 howG4459 ye hearG191: forG1063 whosoeverG302 hathG2192, to himG846 shall be givenG1325; andG2532 whosoeverG302 hathG2192 notG3361, fromG575 himG846 shall be takenG142 evenG2532 thatG3739 which he seemethG1380 to haveG2192.

19ThenG1161 cameG3854 toG4314 himG846 his motherG3588G3384 andG2532 hisG846 brethrenG3588G80, andG2532 couldG1410 notG3756 comeG4940 at himG846 forG1223 the pressG3588G3793. 20AndG2532 it was toldG518 himG846 by certain which saidG3004, ThyG4771 motherG3588G3384 andG2532 thyG4771 brethrenG3588G80 standG2476 withoutG1854, desiringG2309 to seeG3708 theeG4771. 21AndG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, MyG1473 motherG3384 andG2532 myG1473 brethrenG80 areG1510 theseG3778 whichG3588 hearG191 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316, andG2532 doG4160 itG846. 22

NowG2532 it came to passG1096 onG1722 a certainG1520 dayG3588G2250, thatG2532 heG846 wentG1684 intoG1519 a shipG4143 withG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101: andG2532 he saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, Let us go overG1330 untoG1519 the other sideG4008 of the lakeG3588G3041. AndG2532 they launched forthG321. 23ButG1161 as theyG846 sailedG4126 he fell asleepG879: andG2532 there came downG2597 a stormG2978 of windG417 onG1519 the lakeG3588G3041; andG2532 they were filledG4845 with water, andG2532 were in jeopardyG2793. 24AndG1161 they came to himG4334, and awokeG1326 himG846, sayingG3004, MasterG1988, masterG1988, we perishG622. ThenG1161 he aroseG1453, and rebukedG2008 the windG3588G417 andG2532 the ragingG3588G2830 of the waterG3588G5204: andG2532 they ceasedG3973, andG2532 there wasG1096 a calmG1055. 25AndG1161 he saidG3004 unto themG846, WhereG4226 isG1510 yourG4771 faithG3588G4102? AndG1161 they being afraidG5399 wonderedG2296, sayingG3004 oneG240 toG4314 anotherG240, WhatG5101 manner of manG687 isG1510 thisG3778! forG3754 he commandethG2004 evenG2532 the windsG3588G417 andG2532 waterG3588G5204, andG2532 they obeyG5219 himG846. 26

AndG2532 they arrivedG2668 atG1519 the countryG3588G5561 of the GadarenesG1046, whichG3748 isG1510 over againstG495 GalileeG3588G1056. 27AndG1161 whenG1831 heG846 wentG1831 forthG1909 to landG3588G1093, there metG5221 himG846 out ofG1537 the cityG3588G4172 a certainG5100 manG435, whichG3739 hadG2192 devilsG1140 longG2425 timeG5550, andG2532 wareG1737 noG3756 clothesG2440, neitherG3756 abodeG3306 inG1722 any houseG3614, butG235 inG1722 the tombsG3588G3418. 28WhenG1161 he sawG3708 JesusG3588G2424, he cried outG349, and fell downG4363 before himG846, andG2532 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456 saidG3004, WhatG5101 have IG1473 to doG2532 with theeG4771, JesusG2424, thou SonG5207 of GodG3588G2316 most highG5310? I beseechG1189 theeG4771, tormentG928 meG1473 notG3361. 29(ForG1063 he had commandedG3853 the uncleanG3588G169 spiritG3588G4151 to come outG1831 ofG575 the manG3588G444. ForG1063 oftentimesG4183G5550 it had caughtG4884 himG846: andG2532 he was keptG5442 boundG1196 with chainsG254 andG2532 in fettersG3976; andG2532 he brakeG1284 the bandsG3588G1199, and was drivenG1643 ofG5259 the devilG3588G1142 intoG1519 the wildernessG3588G2048.) 30AndG1161 JesusG3588G2424 askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 isG1510 thyG4771 nameG3686? AndG1161 he saidG3004, LegionG3003: becauseG3754 manyG4183 devilsG1140 were enteredG1525 intoG1519 himG846. 31AndG2532 they besoughtG3870 himG846 thatG2443 he wouldG2004 notG3361 commandG2004 themG846 to go outG565 intoG1519 the abyssG3588G12. 32AndG1161 there wasG1510 thereG1563 an herdG34 of manyG2425 swineG5519 feedingG1006 onG1722 the mountainG3588G3735: andG2532 they besoughtG3870 himG846 thatG2443 he would sufferG2010 themG846 to enterG1525 intoG1519 themG1565. AndG2532 he sufferedG2010 themG846. 33ThenG1161 wentG1831 the devilsG3588G1140 out ofG575 the manG3588G444, and enteredG1525 intoG1519 the swineG3588G5519: andG2532 the herdG3588G34 ran violentlyG3729 downG2596 a steep placeG3588G2911 intoG1519 the lakeG3588G3041, andG2532 were chokedG638. 34WhenG1161 they that fedG1006 them sawG3708 what was doneG1096, they fledG5343, andG2532 wentG565 and toldG518 it inG1519 the cityG3588G4172 andG2532 inG1519 the countryG3588G68. 35ThenG1161 they went outG1831 to seeG3708 what was doneG1096; andG2532 cameG2064 toG4314 JesusG3588G2424, andG2532 foundG2147 the manG3588G444, out ofG575 whomG3739 the devilsG3588G1140 were departedG1831, sittingG2521 atG3844 the feetG3588G4228 of JesusG3588G2424, clothedG2439, andG2532 in his right mindG4993: andG2532 they were afraidG5399. 36TheyG846 alsoG2532 whichG3588 sawG3708 it toldG518 them by what meansG4459 he that was possessed of the devilsG1139 was healedG4982. 37

ThenG2532 the wholeG537 multitudeG3588G4128 of the countryG4066 of the GadarenesG1046 round aboutG4066 besoughtG2065 himG846 to departG565 fromG575 themG846; forG3754 they were taken withG4912 greatG3173 fearG5401: andG1161 heG846 went upG1684 intoG1519 the shipG3588G4143, and returned back againG5290. 38NowG1161 the manG3588G435 out ofG575 whomG3739 the devilsG3588G1140 wereG1510 departedG1831 besoughtG1189 himG846 that he might be withG4862 himG846: butG1161 JesusG3588G2424 sentG630 himG846 awayG630, sayingG3004, 39ReturnG5290 toG1519 thine ownG4771 houseG3588G3624, andG2532 shewG1334 how great thingsG3745 GodG3588G2316 hath doneG4160 unto theeG4771. AndG2532 he went his wayG565, and publishedG2784 throughoutG2596 the wholeG3650 cityG3588G4172 how great thingsG3745 JesusG3588G2424 had doneG4160 unto himG846. 40AndG1161 it came to pass, thatG1096, whenG1722 JesusG3588G2424 was returnedG5290, the peopleG3588G3793 gladly receivedG588 himG846: forG1063 they wereG1510 allG3956 waitingG4328 for himG846.

41AndG2532, beholdG3708, there cameG2064 a manG435 namedG3686 JairusG2383, andG2532 heG846 wasG5225 a rulerG758 of the synagogueG3588G4864: andG2532 he fell downG4098 atG3844 Jesus’G3588G2424 feetG3588G4228, and besoughtG3870 himG846 that he would comeG1525 intoG1519 hisG846 houseG3588G3624: 42ForG3754 heG846 hadG1510 one onlyG3439 daughterG2364, aboutG5613 twelveG1427 years of ageG2094, andG2532 sheG3778 lay a dyingG599. ButG1161 asG1722 heG846 wentG5217 the peopleG3588G3793 throngedG4846 himG846.

43AndG2532 a womanG1135 havingG1510 an issueG4511 of bloodG129 twelveG1427 yearsG2094, whichG3748 had spentG4321 allG3650 her livingG3588G979 uponG1519 physiciansG2395, neitherG3756 couldG2480 be healedG2323 ofG5259 anyG3762, 44CameG4334 behindG3693 him, and touchedG680 the borderG3588G2899 of hisG846 garmentG3588G2440: andG2532 immediatelyG3916 herG846 issueG3588G4511 of bloodG3588G129 stanchedG2476. 45AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 saidG3004, WhoG5101 touchedG680 meG1473? WhenG1161 allG3956 deniedG720, PeterG3588G4074 andG2532 they that were withG3326 himG846 saidG3004, MasterG1988, the multitudeG3588G3793 throngG4912 theeG4771 andG2532 pressG598 thee, andG2532 sayest thouG3004, WhoG5101 touchedG680 meG1473? 46AndG1161 JesusG3588G2424 saidG3004, SomebodyG5100 hath touchedG680 meG1473: forG1063 IG1473 perceive thatG1097 virtueG1411 is gone outG1831 ofG575 meG1473. 47And whenG1161 the womanG3588G1135 sawG3708 thatG3754 she wasG2990 notG3756 hidG2990, she cameG2064 tremblingG5141, andG2532 falling down beforeG4363 himG846, she declaredG518 unto himG846 beforeG1799 allG3956 the peopleG3588G2992 forG1223 whatG3739 causeG156 she had touchedG680 himG846, andG2532 howG5613 she was healedG2390 immediatelyG3916. 48AndG1161 he saidG3004 unto herG846, DaughterG2364, be of good comfortG2293: thyG4771 faithG3588G4102 hath madeG4982 theeG4771 wholeG4982; goG4198 inG1519 peaceG1515.

49WhileG2980 heG846 yetG2089 spakeG2980, there comethG2064 oneG5100 fromG3844 the ruler of the synagogue’sG3588G752 house, sayingG3004 to himG846, ThyG4771 daughterG3588G2364 is deadG2348; troubleG4660 notG3361 the MasterG3588G1320. 50ButG1161 whenG191 JesusG2424 heardG191 it, he answeredG611 himG846, sayingG3004, FearG5399 notG3361: believeG4100 onlyG3440, andG2532 she shall be made wholeG4982. 51AndG1161 when he cameG1525 intoG1519 the houseG3588G3614, he sufferedG863 noG3756 manG3762 to go inG1525, saveG3361 PeterG4074, andG2532 JamesG2385, andG2532 JohnG2491, andG2532 the fatherG3588G3962 andG2532 the motherG3588G3384 of the maidenG3588G3816. 52AndG1161 allG3956 weptG2799, andG2532 bewailedG2875 herG846: butG1161 he saidG3004, WeepG2799 notG3361; she isG599 notG3756 deadG599, butG235 sleepethG2518. 53AndG2532 they laughedG2606 himG846 to scornG2606, knowingG1492 thatG3754 she was deadG599. 54AndG1161 heG846 put themG1544 allG3956 outG1854, andG2532 tookG2902 herG846 by the handG3588G5495, and calledG5455, sayingG3004, MaidG3588G3816, ariseG1453. 55AndG2532 herG846 spiritG3588G4151 came againG1994, andG2532 she aroseG450 straightwayG3916: andG2532 he commandedG1299 to giveG1325 herG846 meatG5315. 56AndG2532 herG846 parentsG3588G1118 were astonishedG1839: butG1161 he chargedG3853 themG846 that they should tellG3004 no manG3367 what was doneG1096.
