1 Og de kom over på hin side av sjøen, til gerasenernes bygd.
2 Og da han var gått ut av båten, kom det straks mot ham ut av gravene en mann som var besatt av en uren ånd.
3 Han hadde sitt tilhold der i gravene, og de kunde ikke lenger binde ham, ikke engang med lenker;
4 for han hadde ofte vært bundet med fot-jern og lenker, og lenkene hadde han revet av sig, og fot-jernene hadde han sønderslitt, og ingen kunde rå med ham,
5 og han var alltid, natt og dag, i gravene og på fjellene og skrek og slo sig selv med stener.
6 Og da han så Jesus langt borte, løp han til og falt ned for ham,
7 og ropte med høi røst: Hvad har jeg med dig å gjøre, Jesus, du den høieste Guds Sønn? Jeg besverger dig ved Gud at du ikke må pine mig!
8 For han sa til ham: Far ut av mannen, du urene ånd!
9 Og han spurte ham: Hvad er ditt navn? Og han sa til ham: Legion er mitt navn; for vi er mange.
10 Og han bad ham meget at han ikke måtte drive dem ut av bygden.
11 Men det gikk en stor svinehjord og beitet der ved fjellet,
12 Og de bad ham: Send oss inn i svinene, så vi kan fare i dem!
13 Og han gav dem lov til det. Og de urene ånder fór ut og fór i svinene; og hjorden styrtet sig ut over stupet ned i sjøen, omkring to tusen i tallet, og druknet i sjøen.
14 Og de som gjætte dem, tok flukten, og fortalte det i byen og i bygden. Og folk kom ut for å se hvad som hadde hendt.
15 Og de kom til Jesus og så den besatte sitte påklædd og ved sans og samling, han som hadde vært besatt av legionen, og de blev forferdet.
16 Og de som hadde sett det, fortalte dem hvorledes det var gått med den besatte, og om svinene.
17 Og de begynte å be ham at han vilde dra bort fra deres landemerker.
18 Og da han gikk i båten, bad den besatte om å få være med ham.
19 Og han gav ham ikke lov, men sa til ham: Gå hjem til dine og fortell dem hvor store ting Herren har gjort imot dig, og at han har miskunnet sig over dig!
20 Og han gikk bort og begynte å kunngjøre i Dekapolis hvor store ting Jesus hadde gjort imot ham; og alle undret sig.
21 Og da Jesus var faret over med båten til hin side igjen, samlet meget folk sig om ham; og han var ved sjøen.
22 Og det kom en av synagoge-forstanderne ved navn Jairus; og da han så ham, falt han ned for hans føtter,
23 og han bad ham meget og sa: Min datter ligger på det siste; kom og legg dine hender på henne, så hun må bli frelst og leve!
24 Og han gikk bort med ham, og meget folk fulgte ham, og de trengte ham.
25 Og der var en kvinne som hadde hatt blodsott i tolv år;
26 og hun hadde lidt meget av mange læger og satt til alt det hun eide, og hadde ikke hatt nogen hjelp av det, men var heller blitt verre;
27 da hun hadde hørt ryktet om Jesus, kom hun midt iblandt folket og rørte bakfra ved hans klædebon.
28 For hun sa: Kan jeg få røre, om det så bare er ved hans klær, så blir jeg helbredet.
29 Og straks uttørkedes hennes blods kilde, og hun kjente i sitt legeme at hun var helbredet for sin plage.
30 Og Jesus kjente straks hos sig selv den kraft som gikk ut fra ham, og han vendte sig om i hopen og sa: Hvem var det som rørte ved mine klær?
31 Og hans disipler sa til ham: Du ser at folket trenger dig på alle kanter, og du sier: Hvem var det som rørte ved mig?
32 Og han så sig om for å få øie på henne som hadde gjort dette.
33 Men kvinnen kom redd og skjelvende, for hun visste hvad som var skjedd med henne, og hun falt ned for ham og sa ham hele sannheten.
34 Da sa han til henne: Datter! din tro har frelst dig; gå bort i fred, og vær helbredet for din plage!
35 Mens han ennu talte, kom det folk fra synagoge-forstanderen og sa: Din datter er død; hvorfor umaker du mesteren lenger?
36 Men Jesus hørte det ord som blev sagt, og sa til synagoge-forstanderen: Frykt ikke, bare tro!
37 Og han lot ingen følge med sig uten Peter og Jakob og Johannes, Jakobs bror.
38 Og de kom til synagoge-forstanderens hus, og han så en larmende hop og folk i stor gråt og jammer,
39 og han gikk inn og sa til dem: Hvorfor larmer og gråter I? Barnet er ikke død; hun sover.
40 Og de lo ham ut. Men han driver alle ut, og tar med sig barnets far og mor og dem som var med ham, og går inn der hvor barnet var.
41 Og han tar barnet ved hånden og sier til henne: Talita kumi; det er utlagt: Pike! jeg sier dig: Stå op!
42 Og straks stod piken op og gikk omkring; for hun var tolv år gammel. Og de blev storlig forferdet.
43 Og han bød dem strengt at ikke nogen skulde få dette å vite; og han sa at de skulde gi henne noget å ete.
1 And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
2 And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.
3 He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;
4 Because he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.
5 And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 And when he saw Jesus from far off, he went quickly to him and gave him worship;
7 And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.
8 For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.
9 And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.
10 And he made strong prayers to him not to send them away out of the country.
11 Now on the mountain side there was a great herd of pigs getting their food.
12 And they said to him, Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.
13 And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.
14 And their keepers went running and gave an account of it in the town and in the country. And people came to see what had taken place.
15 And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.
16 And those who had seen it gave them an account of what had been done to him who had the evil spirits, and of the fate of the pigs.
17 And they made a request to him to go out of their country.
18 And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.
19 And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.
20 And he went on his way, and made public in the country of Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men were full of wonder.
21 And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.
22 And one of the rulers of the Synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and seeing him, went down at his feet,
23 And made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.
24 And he went with him; and a great number of people went after him, and came round him.
25 And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,
26 And had undergone much at the hands of a number of medical men, and had given all she had, and was no better, but even worse,
27 When she had news of the things which Jesus did, went among the people coming after him, and put her hand on his robe.
28 For she said, If I may only put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.
29 And straight away the fountain of her blood was stopped, and she had a feeling in her body that her disease had gone and she was well.
30 And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?
31 And his disciples said to him, You see the people round you on every side, and you say, Who was touching me?
32 And on his looking round to see her who had done this thing,
33 The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.
34 And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be free from your disease.
35 And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?
36 But Jesus, giving no attention to their words, said to the ruler of the Synagogue, Have no fear, only have faith.
37 And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.
38 And they came to the house of the ruler of the Synagogue; and he saw people running this way and that, and weeping and crying loudly.
39 And when he had gone in, he said to them, Why are you making such a noise and weeping? The child is not dead, but sleeping.
40 And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.
42 And the young girl got up straight away, and was walking about; she being twelve years old. And they were overcome with wonder.
43 And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.
