Lucas 8 - Bíblia Online

Logo depois andava Jesus pelas cidades e aldeias, pregando e anunciando as boas novas do reino de Deus, e iam com ele os doze, 
e algumas mulheres que haviam sido curadas de espíritos malignos e de enfermidades: Maria, chamada Madalena, da qual tinham saído sete demônios, 
Joana, mulher de Cuza, procurador de Herodes, Susana e muitas outras, as quais lhe assistiam com os seus bens. 
Afluindo uma grande multidão e vindo ter com ele gente de todas as cidades, disse Jesus em parábola: 
Saiu o semeador para semear a sua semente. Quando semeava, uma parte da semente caiu à beira do caminho; foi pisada, e as aves do céu a comeram. 
Outra caiu sobre a pedra; e tendo crescido, secou, porque não havia umidade. 
Outra caiu no meio dos espinhos; com ela cresceram os espinhos, e sufocaram-na. 
Outra caiu na boa terra e, tendo crescido, deu fruto a cento por um. Dizendo isto, clamou: Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça. 
Seus discípulos perguntaram-lhe o que significava esta parábola. 
Respondeu-lhes Jesus: A vós vos é dado conhecer os mistérios do reino de Deus, mas aos outros se lhes fala em parábolas, para que vendo, não vejam; e ouvindo, não entendam. 
O sentido da parábola é este: A semente é a palavra de Deus. 
Os que estão à beira do caminho, são os que têm ouvido; então vem o Diabo e tira a palavra dos seus corações, para que não suceda que, crendo, sejam salvos. 
Os que estão sobre a pedra, são os que, depois de ouvirem, recebem a palavra com gozo; estes não têm raiz, e crêem por algum tempo, mas na hora de provação voltam atrás. 
A parte que caiu entre os espinhos, estes são os que ouviram e, indo seu caminho, são sufocados pelos cuidados, riquezas e deleites da vida, e o seu fruto não amadurece. 
A que caiu na boa terra, estes são os que, tendo ouvido a palavra com coração reto e bom, a retêm e dão fruto com perseverança. 
Ninguém, depois de acender uma candeia, a cobre com um vaso ou a põe debaixo duma cama; pelo contrário coloca-a sobre um velador, a fim de que os que entram, vejam a luz. 
Pois não há coisa oculta, que não venha a ser manifesta; nem coisa secreta, que se não haja de saber e vir à luz. 
Vede, pois, como ouvis; porque ao que tiver, ser-lhe-á dado; e ao que não tiver, até aquilo que pensa ter, ser-lhe-á tirado. 
Vieram ter com ele sua mãe e seus irmãos, e não podiam aproximar-se dele por causa da multidão. 
Foi-lhe dito: Tua mãe e teus irmãos estão lá fora e desejam ver-te. 
Ele, porém, respondeu: Minha mãe e meus irmãos são aqueles que ouvem a palavra de Deus e a observam. 
Num daqueles dias entrou numa barca com seus discípulos e disse-lhes: Atravessemos o lago; e partiram. 
Enquanto navegavam, adormeceu. Desceu uma tempestade de vento sobre o lago; a barca começou a encher-se, e eles estavam em perigo. 
Aproximando-se, despertaram-no, dizendo: Mestre, Mestre, perecemos. Despertado, repreendeu o vento e a fúria da água; eles cessaram, e houve bonança. 
Então lhes perguntou: Onde está a vossa fé? Eles, aterrorizados, se maravilharam, dizendo uns aos outros: Quem, porventura, é este, que manda aos ventos e à água, e eles lhe obedecem? 
Aportaram à terra dos gerasenos, que é fronteira à Galiléia. 
Depois de haver ele desembarcado, veio da cidade ao seu encontro um homem, possesso de demônios, que havia muito tempo não vestia roupa e não habitava em casa alguma, mas nos túmulos. 
Ele, vendo a Jesus, gritou, caiu-lhe aos pés e disse em alta voz: Que tenho eu contigo, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Rogo-te que não me atormentes. 
Pois Jesus ordenara ao espírito imundo que saísse do homem. Muitas vezes se apoderara dele; o homem era posto sob guarda e preso com algemas e grilhões, mas ele, partindo as cadeias, era impelido pelo demônio para os desertos. 
Perguntou-lhe Jesus: Qual é o teu nome? Respondeu ele: Legião, porque eram muitos os demônios que nele haviam entrado. 
Estes lhe suplicaram que não os mandasse ir para o abismo. 
Havia ali uma grande manada de porcos pastando no monte; e pediram-lhe que lhes permitisse passar para eles. 
E foi-lhes permitido. Os demônios, tendo saído do homem, entraram nos porcos; a manada precipitou-se pelo declive no lago e afogou-se. 
Quando os pastores viram o que havia acontecido, fugiram e foram contá-lo na cidade e nos campos. 
Então saiu o povo para ver o que se tinha passado; e foram ter com Jesus, a cujos pés encontraram, sentado, vestido e em perfeito juízo, o homem do qual tinham saído os demônios: e ficaram com medo. 
Os que o haviam visto, contaram-lhes de que modo se realizara a cura do endemoninhado. 
Todo o povo da terra dos gerasenos rogou-lhe que se retirasse deles, pois estavam possuídos de grande medo; Jesus entrou na barca e voltou. 
Mas o homem de quem tinham saído os demônios, suplicava-lhe que o deixasse acompanhá-lo. Jesus, porém, despediu-o, dizendo: 
Volta para tua casa e conta tudo o que Deus te fez. O homem partiu, publicando por toda a cidade tudo o que lhe fizera Jesus. 
Quando regressou, foi Jesus bem recebido pelo povo; pois todos o esperavam. 
Veio um homem chamado Jairo, que era chefe da sinagoga e, prostrando-se aos pés de Jesus, suplicou-lhe que chegasse à sua casa, 
porque tinha uma filha única, de cerca de doze anos, que estava à morte. Enquanto ele ia, a multidão o apertava. 
Uma mulher que por doze anos estava padecendo de uma hemorragia, e a quem ninguém podia curar, 
chegando-se por detrás, tocou-lhe a fímbria da capa; e imediatamente cessou a sua hemorragia. 
Perguntou Jesus: Quem é o que me tocou? Negando-o todos, disse Pedro: Mestre, a multidão te aperta e te oprime. 
Mas Jesus disse: Alguém me tocou, porque eu percebi que saíra de mim uma virtude. 
A mulher, vendo-se percebida, veio tremendo prostrar-se diante dele, e declarou na presença de todo o povo o motivo por que o havia tocado, e como fora imediatamente curada. 
Ele lhe disse: Filha, a tua fé te curou; vai-te em paz. 
Quando ele ainda falava, veio uma pessoa da casa do chefe da sinagoga, dizendo a este: Tua filha morreu, não incomodes mais o Mestre. 
Ouvindo isto, disse-lhe Jesus: Não temas; crê somente, e ela será salva. 
Tendo chegado à casa, não permitiu que ninguém entrasse com ele, senão Pedro, João, Tiago e o pai e a mãe da menina. 
Todos choravam, e a pranteavam. Mas ele disse: Não choreis; ela não está morta, mas sim dormindo. 
Riam-se dele, porque sabiam que ela estava morta. 
Porém ele, tomando-a pela mão, disse em voz alta: Menina, levanta-te. 
Voltou o seu espírito, e ela se levantou imediatamente; e ele mandou que lhe dessem a ela de comer. 
Seus pais encheram-se de pasmo; e ele lhes advertiu que a ninguém contassem o que havia acontecido. 

And it came about, after a short time, that he went through town and country giving the good news of the kingdom of God, and with him were the twelve, 
And certain women who had been made free from evil spirits and diseases, Mary named Magdalene, from whom seven evil spirits had gone out, 
And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's chief house-servant, and Susanna and a number of others, who gave him of their wealth for his needs. 
And when a great number of people came together, and men from every town went out to him, he gave them teaching in the form of a story: 
A man went out to put in seed, and while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside and it was crushed under foot, and was taken by the birds of heaven. 
And some went on the rock, and when it came up it became dry and dead because it had no water. 
And some went among thorns, and the thorns came up with it and it had no room for growth. 
And some falling on good earth, came up and gave fruit a hundred times as much. And with these words he said in a loud voice, He who has ears, let him give ear. 
And his disciples put questions to him about the point of the story. 
And he said, To you is given knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to the others, they are given in stories, so that seeing, they may not see, and though they give hearing, the sense will not be clear to them. 
Now this is the point of the story: The seed is the word of God. 
Those by the side of the road are those who have given hearing; then the Evil One comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not have faith and get salvation. 
And those on the rock are those who with joy give hearing to the word; but having no root, they have faith for a time, and when the test comes they give up. 
And those which went among thorns are those who have given hearing, and go on their way, but they are overcome by cares and wealth and the pleasures of life, and they give no fruit. 
And those in the good earth are those who, having given ear to the word, keep it with a good and true heart, and in quiet strength give fruit. 
No man, when the light is lighted, puts a cover over it, or puts it under a bed, but he puts it on its table, so that those who come in may see the light. 
For nothing is put out of view which will not be made clear, and nothing is secret of which the knowledge will not come to light. 
So take care how you give hearing, for to him who has will be given, and from him who has not will be taken even what he seems to have. 
And his mother and his brothers came to him, and they were not able to get near him because of the great number of people. 
And someone said to him, Your mother and your brothers are outside desiring to see you. 
But he said to them in answer, My mother and my brothers are those who have knowledge of the word of God and do it. 
Now it came about on one of those days that he got into a boat with his disciples; and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the water: and they put out the boat. 
But while they were sailing he went to sleep: and a storm of wind came down on the sea, and the boat became full of water and they were in danger. 
Then they came to him and, awaking him out of his sleep, said, Master, Master, destruction is near. And he, when he was awake, gave orders to the wind and the rolling waves, and the storm came to an end, and all was calm. 
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And fear and wonder overcame them, and they said to one another, Who then is this, who gives orders even to the winds and the water and they do what he says? 
And they came to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. 
And when he had come to the land, there came to him a certain man from the town who had evil spirits; and for a long time he had had no clothing on, and was not living in a house but in the place of the dead. 
And when he saw Jesus, he gave a loud cry and went down on the earth before him and in a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Do not be cruel to me. 
For he gave an order to the evil spirit to come out of the man. For frequently it would take a grip of him: and he was kept under control, and prisoned with chains; but parting the chains in two, he would be sent by the driving of the evil spirit into waste places. 
And Jesus said to him, What is your name? And he said, Legion; for a number of spirits had gone into him. 
And they made a request to him that he would not give them an order to go away into the deep. 
Now there was a great herd of pigs in that place, getting food on the mountain: and the evil spirits made a request to him that he would let them go into the pigs, and he let them. 
And the evil spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs: and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the water and came to destruction. 
And when the men who took care of them saw what had come about, they went quickly and gave news of it in the town and the country. 
And they went out to see what had taken place, and they came to Jesus and saw the man out of whom the evil spirits had gone, seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, at the feet of Jesus; and fear came on them. 
And those who had seen it gave them an account of how the man who had the evil spirits was made well. 
And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes made a request to him to go away from them; for they were in great fear: and he got into a boat and went back. 
But the man from whom the evil spirits had gone out had a great desire to be with him, but he sent him away, saying, 
Go back to your house and let them have news of all the great things which God has done for you. And he went away, giving word through all the town of the great things which Jesus had done for him. 
And when Jesus went back, the people were glad to see him, for they were all waiting for him. 
Then there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler in the Synagogue: and he went down at the feet of Jesus, desiring him to come to his house; 
For he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was near to death. But while he was on his way, the people were pushing to be near him. 
And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had given all her money to medical men, and not one of them was able to make her well, 
Came after him and put her hand on the edge of his robe, and straight away the flowing of her blood was stopped. 
And Jesus said, Who was touching me? And when they all said, It is not I, Peter and those who were with him said, Master, the people are pushing round you on every side. 
But Jesus said, Someone was touching me, for I had the feeling that power had gone out from me. 
And when the woman saw that she was not able to keep it secret, she came, shaking with fear, and falling down before him she made clear before all the people the reason for her touching him, and how she was made well straight away. 
And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace. 
While he was still talking, someone came from the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, saying, Your daughter is dead; do not go on troubling the Master. 
But Jesus at these words said to him, Have no fear, only have faith, and she will be made well. 
And when he came to the house he did not let any man go in with him, but only Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and her mother. 
And all the people were weeping and crying for her; but he said, Do not be sad, for she is not dead, but sleeping. 
And they were laughing at him, being certain that she was dead. 
But he, taking her hand, said to her, My child, get up. 
And her spirit came back to her and she got up straight away: and he gave orders that food was to be given to her. 
And her father and mother were full of wonder, but he gave orders to them to say nothing about it to anyone.

Pois não há coisa oculta, que não venha a ser manifesta; nem coisa secreta, que se não haja de saber e vir à luz. 
Vede, pois, como ouvis; porque ao que tiver, ser-lhe-á dado; e ao que não tiver, até aquilo que pensa ter, ser-lhe-á tirado. 
Vieram ter com ele sua mãe e seus irmãos, e não podiam aproximar-se dele por causa da multidão. 
Foi-lhe dito: Tua mãe e teus irmãos estão lá fora e desejam ver-te. 
Ele, porém, respondeu: Minha mãe e meus irmãos são aqueles que ouvem a palavra de Deus e a observam. 
Num daqueles dias entrou numa barca com seus discípulos e disse-lhes: Atravessemos o lago; e partiram. 
Enquanto navegavam, adormeceu. Desceu uma tempestade de vento sobre o lago; a barca começou a encher-se, e eles estavam em perigo. 
Aproximando-se, despertaram-no, dizendo: Mestre, Mestre, perecemos. Despertado, repreendeu o vento e a fúria da água; eles cessaram, e houve bonança.

No man, when the light is lighted, puts a cover over it, or puts it under a bed, but he puts it on its table, so that those who come in may see the light. 
For nothing is put out of view which will not be made clear, and nothing is secret of which the knowledge will not come to light. 
So take care how you give hearing, for to him who has will be given, and from him who has not will be taken even what he seems to have. 
And his mother and his brothers came to him, and they were not able to get near him because of the great number of people. 
And someone said to him, Your mother and your brothers are outside desiring to see you. 
But he said to them in answer, My mother and my brothers are those who have knowledge of the word of God and do it.

And when the woman saw that she was not able to keep it secret, she came, shaking with fear, and falling down before him she made clear before all the people the reason for her touching him, and how she was made well straight away. 
And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace. 
While he was still talking, someone came from the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, saying, Your daughter is dead; do not go on troubling the Master. 
But Jesus at these words said to him, Have no fear, only have faith, and she will be made well. 
And when he came to the house he did not let any man go in with him, but only Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and her mother. 
And all the people were weeping and crying for her; but he said, Do not be sad, for she is not dead, but sleeping. 
And they were laughing at him, being certain that she was dead. 
But he, taking her hand, said to her, My child, get up. 
And her spirit came back to her and she got up straight away: and he gave orders that food was to be given to her. 
And her father and mother were full of wonder, but he gave orders to them to say nothing about it to anyone.
