2 And to him coming out of the ship, quickly a man met him from the monuments with an unclean spirit, And when Jesus had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit. When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him.
3 Who had a dwelling among the monuments; and neither with chains could any one bind him: He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain, This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.
4 For he had been bound many times with fetters and chains, and the chains were torn asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and none could tame him. 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. For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him.
5 And always, night and day, was he in the mountains, and among the monuments, crying, and mangling himself with stones. Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones. Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

7 And having cried with a great voice, he said, What to me and thee, Jesus, O Son of God most high I adjure thee by God, that thou torture me not. And crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.” He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!”
8 For he said to him, Come forth out of the man, thou unclean spirit. For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”
9 And he asked him, What the name to thee? And he answered, saying, My name, Legion: for we are many. And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.” Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”
10 And he besought him much that he would not send them out of the country. And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.
11 And a great herd of swine was feeding there near the mountains. Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside.
12 And all the demons besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we might enter into them. and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.” The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.”
13 And quickly Jesus permitted them. And the evil spirits having come forth, entered into the swine: and the herd rushed through the precipice into the sea, (and they were about two thousand;) and they were choked in the sea. 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. He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
14 And those feeding the swine fled, and they announced in the city, and in the fields. And they came forth to see what is it that was done. The herdsmen fled and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened. Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.
15 And they come to Jesus, and they see him possessed with the demon, sitting down, and being clothed, and of sound mind: and they were afraid. And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16 And they having seen, recounted to them how it was to him possessed with the demon, and concerning the swine. And those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and to the pigs. Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well.

19 And Jesus permitted him not; but he says to him, Retire to thy house, to thine own, and announce to them what things the Lord did to thee, and he pitied thee. 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.” Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”
20 And he went away, and began to proclaim in Decapolis what Jesus did to him: and all were wondering. And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled. So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.
21 And Jesus having passed over again in the ship on the other side, a great crowd was gathered together to him: and he was by the sea.

When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.

Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.” He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.”

She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.
27 Having heard concerning Jesus, having come in the crowd behind, she touched his garment. She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,
28 For she said, That if I touch his garment, I shall be saved. For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.”
29 And quickly the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she knew in the body that she is healed from the plague. And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.
30 And Jesus, having quickly known in himself the power having gone out of him, having turned round in the crowd, he said, Who has touched my garments? And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 And his disciples said to him, Seest thou the crowd pressing thee, and sayest thou, Who has touched me? And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’” “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ “

Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler’s house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”
36 And Jesus having quickly heard the word spoken, says to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe. But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.

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 all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.”
40 And they laughed at him. And he, having cast them all out, takes the father and mother of the young child, and those with him, and goes where the young child was lying. 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. But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.

42 And the little girl arose quickly, and walked; for she was of twelve years. And they were affected in mind with great amazement. 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 stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
