1 They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. 2 When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs. 3 He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains, 4 because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him. 5 Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones. 6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him, 7 and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don’t torment me." 8 For he said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"
9 He asked him, "What is your name?"
He said to him, "My name is Legion, for we are many." 10 He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country. 11 Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding. 12 All the demons begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."
13 At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea. 14 Those who fed the pigs fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
The people came to see what it was that had happened. 15 They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid. 16 Those who saw it declared to them what happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs. 17 They began to beg him to depart from their region.
18 As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him. 19 He didn’t allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you and how he had mercy on you."
20 He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.
21 When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea. 22 Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet 23 and begged him much, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."
24 He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides. 25 A certain woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse, 27 having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes. 28 For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well." 29 Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
30 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 His disciples said to him, "You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’"
32 He looked around to see her who had done this thing. 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."
35 While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"
36 But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Don’t be afraid, only believe." 37 He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38 He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing. 39 When he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."
40 They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying. 41 Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha cumi!" which means, being interpreted, "Girl, I tell you, get up!" 42 Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement. 43 He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
1 他们到了海的那边， 进入格拉森人的地区。
2 耶稣一下船， 就有一个被污灵附着的人， 从墓地里迎面而来。
3 那人经常住在坟墓中间， 从来没有人能绑住他， 甚至用锁链都不能。
4 曾经有很多次， 人用脚镣和锁链捆绑他， 锁链却被他挣断， 脚镣也被他弄碎， 始终没有人能制伏他。
5 他昼夜在坟墓里和山野间喊叫， 又用石头砍自己。
6 他远远地看见耶稣， 就跑过去拜他，
7 大声呼叫， 说： "至高 神的儿子耶稣， 我跟你有什么关系呢？我指着 神恳求你， 不要叫我受苦。"
8 因为当时耶稣吩咐他： "你这污灵， 从这人身上出来！ "
9 耶稣问他： "你叫什么名字？"他回答： "我名叫‘群’， 因为我们众多。"
10 他再三央求耶稣， 不要把他们从那地方赶走。
11 附近的山坡上有一大群猪正在吃东西；
12 污灵求耶稣说： "打发我们到猪群那里附在猪身上吧。"
13 耶稣准了他们。污灵就出来， 进到猪群里去， 于是那群猪闯下山崖， 掉在海里淹死了， 猪的数目约有两千。
14 放猪的人都逃跑了， 到城里和各乡村去报告， 大家就来看发生了什么事。
15 他们来到耶稣跟前， 看见那被鬼附过的人， 就是曾被名叫‘群’的鬼附过的人， 坐在那里， 穿上了衣服， 神志清醒， 他们就害怕。
16 看见的人把被鬼附过的人所遭遇的和那群猪的事， 告诉了他们。
17 他们就要求耶稣离开他们的地区。
18 耶稣上船的时候， 那被鬼附过的人来求他， 要和他在一起。
19 耶稣不许， 却对他说： "你回家到你的亲属那里去， 把主为你作了多么大的事， 并他怎样怜悯你， 都告诉他们。"
20 那人就走了， 开始在低加波利传讲耶稣为他所作的大事， 众人都希奇。
21 耶稣又坐船渡到那边； 还在海边的时候， 有一大群人向他围拢过来。
22 当时来了一位会堂的主管， 名叫叶鲁。他一看见耶稣， 就俯伏在他脚前，
23 迫切地求他说： "我的小女儿快要死了， 请你来按手在她身上， 把她救活。"
24 耶稣就和他一起去了。一大群人跟着他， 拥挤着他。
25 有一个女人， 患了十二年的血漏病，
26 在好些医生手中受了许多痛苦， 又花尽了她一切所有的， 不仅毫无起色， 反而更加沉重。
27 她听见耶稣的事， 就从后面来杂在人群中间， 摸耶稣的衣服。
28 因为她说： "只要摸到他的衣服， 我就必痊愈。"
29 于是她血漏的源头立刻干了， 她在身体上感觉到病已经得了医治。
30 耶稣自己立刻觉得有能力从他里面出去， 就转过身来对群众说： "谁摸了我的衣服？"
31 门徒对他说： "你看， 这么多人拥挤你， 你还问‘谁摸我’吗？"
32 耶稣周围观看， 要看作这事的女人。
33 那女人知道在她身上所成就的事， 就恐惧战兢地前来向耶稣俯伏， 把实情全告诉了他。
34 耶稣对她说： "女儿， 你的信使你痊愈了， 平安地回去吧， 你的病已经好了。"
35 耶稣还在说话的时候， 有人从会堂主管的家里来说： "你的女儿已经死了， 何必还劳动老师呢？"
36 耶稣听见所说的话， 就对会堂主管说： "不要怕！ 只要信！ "
37 于是他不许别人跟他一起去， 只带了彼得、雅各和雅各的弟弟约翰。
38 他们来到会堂主管的家， 耶稣看见许多人哭泣哀号， 一片混乱，
39 就走进去， 对众人说： "为什么大哭大嚷呢？孩子不是死了， 是睡着了。"
40 众人就嘲笑他。耶稣把众人都赶出去， 带着孩子的父母和跟随他的门徒， 进入孩子所在的房间。
41 耶稣拉着孩子的手， 对她说： "大利大， 古米！ "翻译出来就是： "小女孩， 我吩咐你起来！ "
42 那女孩子就立刻起来行走； 那时她已经十二岁了。众人就非常惊奇。
43 耶稣再三嘱咐他们， 不要让人知道这事， 又吩咐给她东西吃。
