¹And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the

Gadarenes.

 ²And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the

tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

 ³Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with

chains:

 ⁴Because 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.

 ⁵And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and

cutting himself with stones.

 ⁶But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

 ⁷And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou

Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

 ⁸For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

 ⁹And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion:

for we are many.

 ¹⁰And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the

country.

 ¹¹Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

 ¹²And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may

enter into them.

 ¹³And 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.

 ¹⁴And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And

they went out to see what it was that was done.

 ¹⁵And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had

the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

 ¹⁶And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the

devil, and also concerning the swine.

 ¹⁷And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

 ¹⁸And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil

prayed him that he might be with him.

 ¹⁹Howbeit 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.

 ²⁰And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had

done for him: and all men did marvel.

 ²¹And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people

gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.

 ²²And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name;

and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

 ²³And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I

pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall

live.

 ²⁴And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

 ²⁵And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

 ²⁶And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had,

and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

 ²⁷When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his

garment.

 ²⁸For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

 ²⁹And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body

that she was healed of that plague.

 ³⁰And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him,

turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

 ³¹And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and

sayest thou, Who touched me?

 ³²And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

 ³³But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and

fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

 ³⁴And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace,

and be whole of thy plague.

 ³⁵While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain

which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

 ³⁶As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the

synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

 ³⁷And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the

brother of James.

 ³⁸And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult,

and them that wept and wailed greatly.

 ³⁹And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep?

the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

 ⁴⁰And 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.

 ⁴¹And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is,

being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

 ⁴²And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve

years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

 ⁴³And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that

something should be given her to eat.
