Mark 5

Thomson^{(i) 1} And when they arrived at the other side, in the country of the Gaderenes, ² just as he was stepping out of the vessel, there met him a man coming out from among the tombs, with an unclean spirit, ³ who made his abode in the tombs, and whom no one could confine; no, not even with chains. ⁴ For he had often been bound with fetters and chains; but he burst the chains and broke in pieces the fetters, so that none could tame him. ⁵ And he was continually, night and day, on the mountains and in the tombs, screaming, and cutting himself with stones. ⁶ But upon seeing Jesus at a distance, he ran, and prostrating himself, ⁷ cried with a loud voice, saying, What hast thou to do with me, Jesus, son of the most high God?" I conjure thee by God not to torment me? ⁸ For he had said to him, Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit. ⁹ Then he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion; for we are many, ¹⁰ and earnestly intreated him not to send them out of that country. ¹¹ Now there was there on the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding, ¹² and all the demons besought him, saying, Send us to the swine that we may enter into them. ¹³ And Jesus immediately permitted them. Whereupon the unclean spirits, having gone out, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down a precipice into the sea, [now they were about two thousand] and were drowned in the sea. ¹⁴ And they who fed the swine fled, and told the news in town and country. And the people came out to see what had happened. ¹⁵ And when they came to Jesus and saw the demoniac; him who had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind, they were terrified. ¹⁶ And when the eye witnesses told them what was done to the demoniac, and respecting the swine, ¹⁷ they began to intreat him to withdraw from their territories. ¹⁸ And as he was going on board the vessel the late demoniac besought him that he might go with him. ¹⁹ But Jesus did not permit him, but saith to him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them what the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. ²⁰ So he departed, and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him. And they were all amazed. ²¹ And when Jesus had repassed in the vessel to the other side, a great multitude gathered about him, and he continued by the sea side. ²² And behold there cometh to him one of the rulers of the synagogue, whose name was Jairus, who, upon seeing him, falleth at his feet ²³ and intreateth him earnestly, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death, pray come and lay thy hands on her that she may be cured, and she will live. ²⁴ So Jesus went with him, followed by a great multitude which pressed about him. ²⁵ And a certain woman, who had been twelve years afflicted with an issue of blood, ²⁶ and who had suffered much under many physicians, and spent all that she had, and instead of being any thing the better, rather grew worse, ²⁷ having heard of Jesus, came behind him, in the crowd, and touched his mantle. ²⁸ For she said, If I can but touch his clothes, I shall be cured. ²⁹ And instantly the source of her disorder was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of that disorder. ³⁰ Thereupon Jesus conscious of the power which had gone forth from him, turning about immediately, in the crowd, said, Who touched my clothes? ³¹ Upon which his disciples said to him, Thou seest how the crowd throng thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me? ³² Still he looked round to see her who had done this, ³³ when the woman, knowing what had been done for her, came trembling with fear, and prostrating herself before him, told him the whole truth. ³⁴ Whereupon he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath cured thee. Go in peace, and continue cured of that disorder of thine. ³⁵ Now while he was speaking, messengers came from the ruler's house, who said, Thy daughter is dead, why troublest thou the teacher any further? ³⁶ Upon hearing this message delivered, Jesus immediately saith to the ruler of the synagogue,57 Be not afraid. Only believe. ³⁷ Then he permitted none to accompany him, but Peter and James, and John the brother of James. ³⁸ And coming to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeing a tumultuous crowd weeping and wailing immoderately, ³⁹ he saith to them, as he was going in, Why make ye this ado, and weep? The child is not dead, but asleep. ⁴⁰ Upon which they derided him. But he, having put them all out, taketh with him the father and mother of the child, and them who accompanied him, and goeth into the room where the child was laid. ⁴¹ And, taking hold of the child's hand, he saith to her, "Talitha cumi," the meaning of which is, damsel, I say to thee, Arise. ⁴² And immediately the damsel arose and walked about; for she was twelve years old. Upon which they were struck with great astonishment. ⁴³ Then he strictly charged them that none should know this, and ordered something to be given her to eat.
