1 Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve, 2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out; 3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who served them from their possessions. 4 When a great multitude came together and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable: 5 "The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it. 6 Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 7 Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it. 8 Other fell into the good ground and grew and produced one hundred times as much fruit." As he said these things, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"
9 Then his disciples asked him, "What does this parable mean?"
10 He said, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
11 "Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation. 14 What fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life; and they bring no fruit to maturity. 15 Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.
16 "No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light. 17 For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. 18 Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has."
19 His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd. 20 Some people told him, "Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you."
21 But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it."
22 Now on one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, "Let’s go over to the other side of the lake." So they launched out. 23 But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water. 24 They came to him and awoke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are dying!" He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; then they ceased, and it was calm. 25 He said to them, "Where is your faith?" Being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, "Who is this then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?"
26 Then they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a 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 do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!" 29 For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
30 Jesus asked him, "What is your name?"
He said, "Legion," for many demons had entered into him. 31 They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.
32 Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. Then he allowed them. 33 The demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35 People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed. 37 All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. Then he entered into the boat and returned. 38 But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 "Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you." He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40 When Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. 41 Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come into his house, 42 for he had an only born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him. 43 A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak. Immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
45 Jesus said, "Who touched me?"
When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’"
46 But Jesus said, "Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me." 47 When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 48 He said to her, "Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
49 While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher."
50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, "Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed."
51 When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother. 52 All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping."
53 They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, "Child, arise!" 55 Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat. 56 Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
1 不久， 耶稣周游各城各村讲道， 宣扬 神的国的福音， 和他在一起的有十二个门徒，
2 还有几个蒙了医治、脱离污鬼与疾病的妇女， 其中有称为抹大拉的马利亚， 曾有七个鬼从她身上赶出来；
3 有希律的管家古撒的妻子约亚拿， 又有苏珊娜， 和许多别的妇女， 她们都用自己的财物供给耶稣和门徒。
4 当时有许多人聚在一起， 还有人从各城来到耶稣那里， 他就用比喻说：
5 "有一个撒种的出去撒种， 撒的时候， 有的落在路旁， 被人践踏， 或给空中的小鸟吃掉。
6 有的落在石头地上， 一长出来就枯萎了， 因为得不着滋润。
7 有的落在荆棘丛中， 荆棘也一齐生长， 把它挤住了。
8 有的落在好土里， 就生长起来， 结出百倍的果实。"他说了这些话， 就大声说： "有耳可听的， 就应当听！ "
9 门徒问他这比喻是什么意思。
10 他说： " 神的国的奥秘， 只给你们知道， 对别人就用比喻， 叫他们看却看不见， 听却听不明白。
11 "这比喻是说， 种子是 神的道，
12 那落在路旁的， 就是人听了， 魔鬼随即来到， 从他们心里把道夺去， 恐怕他们相信就得救了。
13 那落在石头地上的， 就是人听了， 欢欢喜喜地接受， 但是没有根， 不过是暂时相信， 一旦遭遇试炼， 就倒退了。
14 那落在荆棘里的， 就是人听了， 走开以后， 被今世的忧虑、财富和宴乐挤住了， 结不出成熟的子粒来。
15 但那落在好土里的， 就是人用诚实良善的心来听， 把道持守住， 忍耐着结出果实。
16 "没有人点灯用器皿盖上， 或放在床底下， 而是放在灯台上， 叫进来的人都看得见光。
17 因为没有什么隐藏的事不被显明， 也没有什么掩盖的事不被人知道而暴露出来。
18 所以你们应当留心怎样听， 因为凡是有的， 还要给他； 凡是没有的， 连他自以为有的， 也要拿去。"
19 耶稣的母亲和弟弟来到他那里， 因为人多， 不能到他跟前。
20 有人转告耶稣： "你母亲和弟弟站在外面要见你。"
21 他回答他们： "听了 神的道而遵行的人， 才是我的母亲， 我的弟兄。"
22 有一天， 耶稣和门徒上了船， 他对他们说： "我们渡到海那边去吧。"他们就开了船。
23 船行的时候， 他睡着了。海上忽然起了狂风， 他们全身湿透， 非常危险。
24 门徒来叫醒耶稣， 说： "主啊！ 主啊！ 我们没命了！ "他醒过来， 斥责风浪， 风浪就止息、平静了。
25 耶稣对他们说： "你们的信心在哪里？"他们又惧怕、又希奇， 彼此说： "这到底是谁？他吩咐风浪， 连风浪也听从他。"
26 船到了格拉森人的地区， 正在加利利对面，
27 耶稣一上岸， 就有城里一个被鬼附着的人， 迎面而来。这人已经很久不穿衣服， 不住在家里， 只住在坟墓里。
28 他一见耶稣， 就俯伏喊叫， 大声说： "至高 神的儿子耶稣， 我跟你有什么关系呢？求你不要使我受苦。"
29 因为耶稣已经吩咐这污灵从那人身上出来。原来这污灵屡次抓住那人； 那人被铁链和脚链捆锁， 而且有人看管， 他竟挣断锁链， 被鬼赶入旷野。
30 耶稣问他： "你叫什么名字？"他说： "群。"因为进到那人里面的鬼很多。
31 他们求耶稣， 不要赶他们进入无底坑。
32 那里有一大群猪正在山上吃东西。他们求耶稣准他们进入猪群。耶稣准许了，
33 鬼就从那人身上出来， 进入猪群， 猪群闯下山崖， 掉在海里淹死了。
34 放猪的看见所发生的事就逃跑， 到城里和各乡村把这事传开。
35 众人就出来看发生了什么事。来到耶稣那里， 看见鬼已经离开的那人， 穿着衣服， 神志清醒， 坐在耶稣脚前， 他们就害怕。
36 当时看见的人， 把被鬼附过的人怎样得到医治， 说给他们听。
37 格拉森一带的人， 都要求耶稣离开他们， 因为他们大大惧怕。他就上船回去了。
38 鬼已经离开的那人求耶稣， 要跟他在一起； 但耶稣打发他回去， 说：
39 "你回家去， 述说 神为你作了怎样的事。"他就走遍全城， 传讲耶稣为他作了怎样的事。
40 耶稣回来的时候， 众人欢迎他， 因为大家都在等着他。
41 那时， 有一个人来了， 名叫叶鲁， 他是一位会堂主管。他俯伏在耶稣脚前， 求他往他家里去，
42 因为他的独生女， 约十二岁， 快要死了。耶稣去的时候， 群众拥挤着他。
43 有一个女人， 患了十二年的血漏病， 在医生手里花尽了全部养生的（有些抄本无"在医生手里花尽了全部养生的"一句）， 没有一个能医好她。
44 她从后面挤来， 一摸耶稣的衣裳繸子， 血就立刻止住。
45 耶稣说： "摸我的是谁？"众人都不承认。彼得说： "主啊， 众人都拥挤着你。"
46 耶稣说： "必定有人摸我， 因为我觉得有能力从我身上出去。"
47 那女人见不能隐瞒， 就战战兢兢地过来， 向他俯伏， 把摸他的缘故， 和怎样立刻得到医治， 在众人面前说出来。
48 耶稣对她说： "女儿， 你的信使你痊愈了， 平安地去吧！ "
49 耶稣还在说话的时候， 有人从会堂主管家里来， 说： "你的女儿死了， 不必再劳动老师了。"
50 耶稣听见就对他说： "不要怕， 只要信， 她必得痊愈。"
51 到了那家， 除了彼得、约翰、雅各和女孩的父母以外， 他不准任何人同他进屋里去。
52 众人都在痛哭哀号， 他说： "不要哭！ 她不是死了， 而是睡着了。"
53 他们明知女孩已经死了， 就嘲笑他。
54 他进去拉着女孩的手， 叫她说： "孩子， 起来！ "
55 她的灵魂回来了， 她就立刻起来。耶稣吩咐给她东西吃。
56 她父母非常惊奇。耶稣嘱咐他们不要把他所作的事告诉人。
