1 E aconteceu, depois disto, que andava de cidade em cidade, e de aldeia em aldeia, pregando e anunciando o evangelho do reino de Deus; e os doze iam com ele,
2 E algumas mulheres que haviam sido curadas de espíritos malignos e de enfermidades: Maria, chamada Madalena, da qual saíram sete demônios;
3 E Joana, mulher de Cuza, procurador de Herodes, e Suzana, e muitas outras que o serviam com seus bens.
4 E, ajuntando-se uma grande multidão, e vindo de todas as cidades ter com ele, disse por parábola:
5 Um semeador saiu a semear a sua semente e, quando semeava, caiu alguma junto do caminho, e foi pisada, e as aves do céu a comeram;
6 E outra caiu sobre pedra e, nascida, secou-se, pois que não tinha umidade;
7 E outra caiu entre espinhos e crescendo com ela os espinhos, a sufocaram;
8 E outra caiu em boa terra, e, nascida, produziu fruto, a cento por um. Dizendo ele estas coisas, clamava: Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça.
9 E os seus discípulos o interrogaram, dizendo: Que parábola é esta?
10 E ele disse: A vós vos é dado conhecer os mistérios do reino de Deus, mas aos outros por parábolas, para que vendo, não vejam, e ouvindo, não entendam.
11 Esta é, pois, a parábola: A semente é a palavra de Deus;
12 E os que estão junto do caminho, estes são os que ouvem; depois vem o diabo, e tira-lhes do coração a palavra, para que não se salvem, crendo;
13 E os que estão sobre pedra, estes são os que, ouvindo a palavra, a recebem com alegria, mas, como não têm raiz, apenas crêem por algum tempo, e no tempo da tentação se desviam;
14 E a que caiu entre espinhos, esses são os que ouviram e, indo pordiante, são sufocados com os cuidados e riquezas e deleites da vida, e não dão fruto com perfeição;
15 E a que caiu em boa terra, esses são os que, ouvindo a palavra, a conservam num coração honesto e bom, e dão fruto com perseverança.
16 E ninguém, acendendo uma candeia, a cobre com algum vaso, ou a põe debaixo da cama; mas põe-na no velador, para que os que entram vejam a luz.
17 Porque não há coisa oculta que não haja de manifestar-se, nem escondida que não haja de saber-se e vir à luz.
18 Vede, pois, como ouvis; porque a qualquer que tiver lhe será dado, e a qualquer que não tiver até o que parece ter lhe será tirado.
19 E foram ter com ele sua mãe e seus irmãos, e não podiam aproximar-se dele, por causa da multidão.
20 E foi-lhe dito: Estão lá fora tua mãe e teus irmãos, que querem ver-te.
21 Mas, respondendo ele, disse-lhes: Minha mãe e meus irmãos são aqueles que ouvem a palavra de Deus e a executam.
22 E aconteceu que, num daqueles dias, entrou num barco com seus discípulos, e disse-lhes: Passemos para o outro lado do lago. E partiram.
23 E, navegando eles, adormeceu; e sobreveio uma tempestade de vento no lago, e enchiam-se de água, estando em perigo.
24 E, chegando-se a ele, o despertaram, dizendo: Mestre, Mestre, perecemos. E ele, levantando-se, repreendeu o vento e a fúria da água; e cessaram, e fez-se bonança.
25 E disse-lhes: Onde está a vossa fé? E eles, temendo, maravilharam-se, dizendo uns aos outros: Quem é este, que até aos ventos e à água manda, e lhe obedecem?
26 E navegaram para a terra dos gadarenos, que está defronte da Galiléia.
27 E, quando desceu para terra, saiu-lhe ao encontro, vindo da cidade, um homem que desde muito tempo estava possesso de demônios, e não andava vestido, nem habitava em qualquer casa, mas nos sepulcros.
28 E, quando viu a Jesus, prostrou-se diante dele, exclamando, e dizendo com grande voz: Que tenho eu contigo, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Peço-te que não me atormentes.
29 Porque tinha ordenado ao espírito imundo que saísse daquele homem; pois já havia muito tempo que o arrebatava. E guardavamno preso, com grilhões e cadeias; mas, quebrando as prisões, era impelido pelo demônio para os desertos.
30 E perguntou-lhe Jesus, dizendo: Qual é o teu nome? E ele disse: Legião; porque tinham entrado nele muitos demônios.
31 E rogavam-lhe que os não mandasse para o abismo.
32 E andava ali pastando no monte uma vara de muitos porcos; e rogaram-lhe que lhes concedesse entrar neles; e concedeu-lho.
33 E, tendo saído os demônios do homem, entraram nos porcos, e a manada precipitou-se de um despenhadeiro no lago, e afogou-se.
34 E aqueles que os guardavam, vendo o que acontecera, fugiram, e foram anunciá-lo na cidade e nos campos.
35 E saíram a ver o que tinha acontecido, e vieram ter com Jesus. Acharam então o homem, de quem haviam saído os demônios, vestido, e em seu juízo, assentado aos pés de Jesus; e temeram.
36 E os que tinham visto contaram-lhes também como fora salvo aquele endemoninhado.
37 E toda a multidão da terra dos gadarenos ao redor lhe rogou que se retirasse deles; porque estavam possuídos de grande temor. E entrando ele no barco, voltou.
38 E aquele homem, de quem haviam saído os demônios, rogou-lhe que o deixasse estar com ele; mas Jesus o despediu, dizendo:
39 Torna para tua casa, e conta quão grandes coisas te fez Deus. E ele foi apregoando por toda a cidade quão grandes coisas Jesus lhe tinha feito.
40 E aconteceu que, quando voltou Jesus, a multidão o recebeu, porque todos o estavam esperando.
41 E eis que chegou um homem de nome Jairo, que era príncipe da sinagoga; e, prostrando-se aos pés de Jesus, rogava-lhe que entrasse em sua casa;
42 Porque tinha uma filha única, quase de doze anos, que estava à morte. E indo ele, apertava-o a multidão.
43 E uma mulher, que tinha um fluxo de sangue, havia doze anos, e gastara com os médicos todos os seus haveres, e por nenhum pudera ser curada,
44 Chegando por detrás dele, tocou na orla do seu vestido, e logo estancou o fluxo do seu sangue.
45 E disse Jesus: Quem é que me tocou? E, negando todos, disse Pedro e os que estavam com ele: Mestre, a multidão te aperta e te oprime, e dizes: Quem é que me tocou?
46 E disse Jesus: Alguém me tocou, porque bem conheci que de mim saiu virtude.
47 Então, vendo a mulher que não podia ocultar-se, aproximou-se tremendo e, prostrando-se ante ele, declarou-lhe diante de todo o povo a causa por que lhe havia tocado, e como logo sarara.
48 E ele lhe disse: Tem bom ânimo, filha, a tua fé te salvou; vai em paz.
49 Estando ele ainda falando, chegou um dos do príncipe da sinagoga, dizendo: A tua filha já está morta, não incomodes o Mestre.
50 Jesus, porém, ouvindo-o, respondeu-lhe, dizendo: Não temas; crê somente, e será salva.
51 E, entrando em casa, a ninguém deixou entrar, senão a Pedro, e a Tiago, e a João, e ao pai e a mãe da menina.
52 E todos choravam, e a pranteavam; e ele disse: Não choreis; não está morta, mas dorme.
53 E riam-se dele, sabendo que estava morta.
54 Mas ele, pondo-os todos fora, e pegando-lhe na mão, clamou, dizendo: Levanta-te, menina.
55 E o seu espírito voltou, e ela logo se levantou; e Jesus mandou que lhe dessem de comer.
56 E seus pais ficaram maravilhados; e ele lhes mandou que a ninguém dissessem o que havia sucedido.
1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod' steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered to him of their substance.
4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:
5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And some fell on a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit an hundred times. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No man, when he has lighted a candle, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but sets it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Take heed therefore how you hear: for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.
19 Then came to him his mother and his brothers, and could not come at him for the press.
20 And it was told him by certain which said, Your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to see you.
21 And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brothers are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commands even the winds and water, and they obey him.
26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither stayed in any house, but in the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God most high? I beseech you, torment me not.
29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he broke the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
31 And they sought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they sought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about sought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed sought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Return to your own house, and show how great things God has done to you. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done to him.
40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus'feet, and sought him that he would come into his house:
42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living on physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng you and press you, and say you, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody has touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared to him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 And he said to her, Daughter, be of good comfort: your faith has made you whole; go in peace.
49 While he yet spoke, there comes one from the ruler of the synagogue' house, saying to him, Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.
53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
