Luke 8:32-56 ▼

32 Now a herd of many swine was there feeding on the mountain; and they besought him that he would permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them.

33 Then the devils going out of the man, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down a precipice into the lake, and was suffocated.

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

35 And they came out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, from whom the devils were gone out, clothed, and in his sound mind, at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid.

36 Then they also who had seen how the demoniac was recovered, told them.

37 And the whole multitude of the country around the Gadarenes, entreated him to depart from them; for they were seized with great terror: and he embarked on the vessel, and returned.

38 And the man out of whom the devils had gone, besought him to be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying,

39 Return to thy house, and declare what things God hath done for thee. And he went away, and published through the whole city what things Jesus had done for him.

40 And it came to pass, when Jesus returned, the people welcomed him, 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 falling at the feet of Jesus, he entreated him to come to his house;

42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying: and as he was going, the multitude thronged him.

43 And a woman, who had a flux of blood, for twelve years, who had spent all her substance on physicians, and could not get a cure from any;

44 coming behind him, touched the fringe of his garment; and instantly the flux of her blood stopped.

45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied, Peter, and those who were with him, said, Master, the multitudes throng and press thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me?

46 Then said Jesus, Some person hath touched me, for I know that miraculous power is gone out from me.

47 Then the woman seeing she was not hid, came trembling, and falling down before him, declared to him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him; and how she was cured instantaneously.

48 Then he said unto her, Be of good cheer, daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace.

49 And while he was yet speaking, a person came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead, give the master no further trouble.

50 Then Jesus hearing it, addressed him, saying, Fear not, only believe, and she shall be saved.

51 And entering into the house, he suffered no person to come in, but Peter, and James, and John, and the father and mother of the child.

52 Now all were weeping and lamenting her: and he said, Weep not, she is not dead, but asleep.

53 And they derided him, for they knew that she was dead.

54 And he put them all without, and taking her by the hand, cried, saying, Maid, arise!

55 And her spirit returned, and she immediately arose; and he commanded to give her something to eat.

56 And her parents were struck with amazement. But he enjoined them to tell no man what was done.
