Luke 8:32-56 ▼

32 And there was in that place a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain. And they besought him to permit them to go into them. And he permitted them.

33 And the demons came out of the man, and went into the swine; and the herd rushed down a steep place into the lake, and were drowned.

34 And when those who fed them saw what was done, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

35 And they came out to see what had been done; and they came to Jesus, and saw the man out of whom the demons had gone, clothed, and in his right mind, sitting at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid.

36 And those who had seen it, told them by what means the man who had been possessed with the demons, was saved.

37 And the whole multitude of the neighboring country of the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he entered the ship and returned.

38 And the man out of whom the demons had gone, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying:

39 Return to your house, and tell what things God has done for you. And he went away, proclaiming through the whole city what Jesus had done for him.

40 And it came to pass, when Jesus returned, that the multitude received him gladly; for they were all waiting for him.

41 And, behold, there came a man, whose name was Jairus; and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him to come into his house;

42 for he had a daughter, his only child, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went, the multitude pressed upon him.

43 And a woman that had been afflicted with an issue of blood for twelve years, who had spent her whole living upon physicians, and could be cured by no one,

44 came behind, and touched the fringe of his mantle; and her issue of blood immediately ceased.

45 And Jesus said: Who touched me? When they all denied, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes press upon thee, and throng thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?

46 But Jesus said: Some one touched me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from me.

47 And the woman, seeing that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and fell down before him, and told him, before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and that she was immediately restored to health.

48 And he said to her: Take courage, daughter; your faith has saved you; go in peace.

49 While he was yet speaking, there came some one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and said to him: Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.

50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying: Fear not, only believe, and she shall be saved.

51 And when he came to the house, he permitted no one to go in but Peter and James and John, and the father and the mother of the child.

52 And all were weeping and lamenting her. But he said: Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.

53 And they derided him, knowing that she was dead.

54 But he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, and said: Child, arise.

55 And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And he commanded that food should be given her.

56 And her parents were amazed. But he charged them to tell no one what had been done.
