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 afterwards that *he* went through {the country} city by city, and village by village, preaching and announcing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve {were} with him,
2 and certain women who had been healed of wicked spirits and infirmities, Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 and Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him of their substance.
4 And a great crowd coming together, and those who were coming to him out of each city, he spoke by parable:
5 The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the way, and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it up;
6 and other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it was dried up because it had not moisture;
7 and other fell in the midst of the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with {it} choked it;
8 and other fell into the good ground, and having sprung up bore fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And his disciples asked him {saying}, What may this parable be?
10 And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 But the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 But those by the wayside are those who hear; then comes the devil and takes away the word from their heart that they may not believe and be saved.
13 But those upon the rock, those who when they hear receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a time, and in time of trial fall away.
14 But that that fell where the thorns were, these are they who having heard go away and are choked under cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that in the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a couch, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light.
17 For there is nothing hid which shall not become manifest, nor secret which shall not be known and come to light.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear; for whosoever has, to him shall be given, and whosoever has not, even what he seems to have shall be taken from him.
19 And his mother and his brethren came to him, and could not get to him because of the crowd.
20 And it was told him {saying}, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, wishing to see thee.
21 But he answering said to them, My mother and my brethren are those who hear the word of God and do {it}.
22 And it came to pass on one of the days, that *he* entered into a ship, himself and his disciples; and he said to them, Let us pass over to the other side of the lake; and they set off from shore.
23 And as they sailed, he fell asleep; and a sudden squall of wind came down on the lake, and they were filled {with water}, and were in danger;
24 and coming to {him} they woke him up, saying, Master, master, we perish. But he, rising up, 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, being afraid, they were astonished, saying to one another, Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?
26 And they arrived in the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 And as he got out {of the ship} on the land, a certain man out of the city met him, who had demons a long time, and put on no clothes, and did not abide in a house, but in the tombs.
28 But seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee torment me not.
29 For he had commanded the unclean spirit to go out from the man. For very often it had seized him; and he had been bound, kept with chains and fetters; and breaking the bonds he was driven by the demon into the deserts.
30 And Jesus asked him saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: for many demons had entered into him.
31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go away into the bottomless pit.
32 And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into those; and he suffered them.
33 And the demons, going out from the man, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the precipice into the lake, and were choked.
34 But they that fed {them}, seeing what had happened, fled, and told {it} to the city and to the country.
35 And they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and sensible, at the feet of Jesus. And they were afraid.
36 And they also who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been healed.
37 And all the multitude of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were possessed with great fear; and *he*, entering into the ship, returned.
38 But the man out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying,
39 Return to thine house and relate how great things God has done for thee. And he went away through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done for him.
40 And it came to pass when Jesus returned, the crowd received him gladly, for they were all expecting him.
41 And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was {a} ruler of the synagogue, and falling at the feet of Jesus besought him to come to his house,
42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as he went the crowds thronged him.
43 And a woman who had a flux of blood since twelve years, who, having spent all her living on physicians, could not be cured by any one,
44 coming up behind, touched the hem of his garment, and immediately her flux of blood stopped.
45 And Jesus said, Who has touched me? But all denying, Peter and those with him said, Master, the crowds close thee in and press upon thee, and sayest thou, Who has touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Some one has touched me, for *I* have known that power has gone out from me.
47 And the woman, seeing that she was not hid, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed.
48 And he said to her, {Be of good courage,} daughter; thy faith has healed thee; go in peace.
49 While he was yet speaking, comes some one from the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher.
50 But Jesus, hearing it, answered him saying, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made well.
51 And when he came to the house he suffered no one to go in but Peter and John and James and the father of the child and the mother.
52 And all were weeping and lamenting her. But he said, Do not weep, for she has not died, but sleeps.
53 And they derided him, knowing that she had died.
54 But *he*, having turned them all out and taking hold of her hand, cried saying, Child, arise.
55 And her spirit returned, and immediately she rose up; and he commanded {something} to eat to be given to her.
56 And her parents were amazed; but he enjoined them to tell no one what had happened.
