No one was able to restrain him anymore—even with chains—	Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:	He lived among the tombs; and no one was able to bind him anymore, not even with a chain,
4	for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him.	because he often had been bound with shackles and chains, but had snapped off the chains and smashed the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue him.	Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.	because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces; and no one was strong enough to subdue him.

And the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us into the pigs so that we may enter them.”
13	So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea.	And He gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs, and the herd of about 2,000 rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned there.	And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.	Jesus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the pigs; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea.

And then they came to Jesus and saw the man who had been demon-possessed sitting down, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had previously had the “legion”; and they became frightened.
16	And those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and to the pigs.	The eyewitnesses described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and told about the pigs.

19	And he did not permit him but said to him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”	But He would not let him; instead, He told him, “Go back home to your own people, and report to them how much the Lord has done for you and how He has had mercy on you.”	Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.	And He did not let him, but He said to him, “Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.”

25	And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years,	A woman suffering from bleeding for 12 years	And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,	A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years,
26	and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse.	had endured much under many doctors.

27	She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.	Having heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His robe.	When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.	after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.
28	For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.”	For she said, “If I can just touch His robes, I’ll be made well!”	For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.	For she had been saying to herself, “If I just touch His garments, I will get well.”
29	And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.	Instantly her flow of blood ceased, and she sensed in her body that she was cured of her affliction.

Why trouble the Teacher any further?”	While He was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, “Your daughter is dead.

While He was still speaking, people came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why bother the Teacher further?”
36	But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.”	But when Jesus overheard what was said, He told the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe.”	As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.	But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid, only believe.”
37	And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.	He did not let anyone accompany Him except Peter, James, and John, James’s brother.	And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.	And He allowed no one to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38	They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly.	They came to the leader’s house, and He saw a commotion—people weeping and wailing loudly.	And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

39	And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.”	He went in and said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.”	And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.	And after entering, He said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child has not died, but is asleep.”
40	And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was.	They started laughing at Him, but He put them all outside. He took the child’s father, mother, and those who were with Him, and entered the place where the child was.	And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.	And they began laughing at Him. But putting them all outside, He took along the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and entered the room where the child was in bed.
41	Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”	Then He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).	And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.	And taking the child by the hand, He said to her, “Talitha, kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).
42	And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.	Immediately the girl got up and began to walk. (She was 12 years old.) At this they were utterly astounded.	And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.	And immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astonished.
43	And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.	Then He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this and said that she should be given something to eat.	And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.	And He gave them strict orders that no one was to know about this, and He told them to have something given her to eat.
