Mark 5

Whiston(i) 1 And they came unto the other side, into the country of the Gerasens. 2 And when they were come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs, a man with an unclean spirit, 3 Who had [his] dwelling among the tombs, and no one could any longer bind him, no not with chains: 4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains with which they bound him; and he had plucked them asunder, and the fetters had been broken in pieces: neither could any one tame him. 5 And night and day, he was in the tombs, and in the mountains, crying, and cutting himself with stones. 6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped him, 7 And 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. 8 For Jesus said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. 9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, My name is Legion: for we are many. 10 And besought him much, that he would not send them away out of the country. 11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountain, an herd of swine feeding. 12 And the dæmons besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may go away unto them. 13 And forthwith the Lord Jesus [sent them] into the swine. And the unclean spirits went out, and entred into the swine, and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, about two thousand, and were choked in the sea. 14 And they that fed them fled, and told [it] unto the city, and unto the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. 15 And they come to Jesus, and see him sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 16 But they that saw [it], told them how it happened to the dæmoniack himself, and also concerning the swine. 17 And they prayed him to depart out of their coasts. 18 And when he came into the ship, the dæmoniack began to pray him that he might be with him. 19 And Jesus suffered him not, and saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how many things God hath done for thee, and because he hath had compassion on thee. 20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis, how many things Jesus had done for him; and all men did marvel. 21 And when Jesus was passed over again unto the other side, a great multitude gathered unto him again, nigh unto the sea. 22 And there cometh a certain ruler of the synagogue, and fell at his feet, 23 Beseeching him, and saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death, Come and touch her with thy hands that she may be healed, and she shall live. 24 And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and thronged him. 25 And a certain woman who had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 Who had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather worse, 27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the multitude behind, and touched his garment. 28 Saying within her self, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be well. 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up: and she felt in her body that she was healed of that stroke. 30 And Jesus immediately knowing in himself, that virtue had gone out of him, and turning him about in the multitude, he said, Who touched my clothes? 31 But his disciples say unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayst thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, on account of what she had done secretly, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34 But Jesus said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy stroke. 35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue certain who said to him, Thy daughter is dead, why troublest thou the Master any farther? 36 When Jesus heard this word, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. 37 And suffered no one to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John his brother. 38 And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the tumult, of them that wept and wailed greatly. 39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and why weep ye? the little child is not dead, but sleepeth. 40 But they laughed at him: but when he had himself put the multitude out, he taketh the father and the mother of the little child, and these that were with him, and entered in where the little child was. 41 And he rook the little child by the hand and said unto her, Thabita cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee arise. 42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked about; Now she was twelve years of [age], and they were all astonished with a great astonishment. 43 And he charged them, that no one should know this: and said that there should be given her to eat.
