| 8:1 | And it came to pass thereafter, that he was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the reign of God, and the twelve `are' with him, |
| 8:2 | and certain women, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth, |
| 8:3 | and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to him from their substance. |
| 8:4 | And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile: |
| 8:5 | `The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it. |
| 8:6 | `And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture. |
| 8:7 | `And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it. |
| 8:8 | `And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.' These things saying, he was calling, `He having ears to hear -- let him hear.' |
| 8:9 | And his disciples were questioning him, saying, `What may this simile be?' |
| 8:10 | And he said, `To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. |
| 8:11 | `And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God, |
| 8:12 | and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved. |
| 8:13 | `And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away. |
| 8:14 | `And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion. |
| 8:15 | `And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain `it', and bear fruit in continuance. |
| 8:16 | `And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put `it'; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put `it', that those coming in may see the light, |
| 8:17 | for nothing is secret, that shall not become manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest. |
| 8:18 | `See, therefore, how ye hear, for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.' |
| 8:19 | And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude, |
| 8:20 | and it was told him, saying, `Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;' |
| 8:21 | and he answering said unto them, `My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.' |
| 8:22 | And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, `We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set forth, |
| 8:23 | and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril. |
| 8:24 | And having come near, they awoke him, saying, `Master, master, we perish;' and he, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm, |
| 8:25 | and he said to them, `Where is your faith?' and they being afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, `Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?' |
| 8:26 | And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that is over-against Galilee, |
| 8:27 | and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs, |
| 8:28 | and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, `What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!' |
| 8:29 | For he commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and fetters -- guarded, and breaking asunder the bonds he was driven by the demons to the deserts. |
| 8:30 | And Jesus questioned him, saying, `What is thy name?' and he said, `Legion,' (because many demons were entered into him,) |
| 8:31 | and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss, |
| 8:32 | and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, and he suffered them, |
| 8:33 | and the demons having gone forth from the man, did enter into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep to the lake, and were choked. |
| 8:34 | And those feeding `them', having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told `it' to the city, and to the fields; |
| 8:35 | and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came unto Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid; |
| 8:36 | and those also having seen `it', told them how the demoniac was saved. |
| 8:37 | And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back. |
| 8:38 | And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying, |
| 8:39 | `Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him. |
| 8:40 | And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him, |
| 8:41 | and lo, there came a man, whose name `is' Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house; |
| 8:42 | because he had an only daughter about twelve years `old', and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him, |
| 8:43 | and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any, |
| 8:44 | having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood. |
| 8:45 | And Jesus said, `Who `is' it that touched me?' and all denying, Peter and those with him said, `Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng `thee', and thou dost say, Who `is' it that touched me!' |
| 8:46 | And Jesus said, `Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from me.' |
| 8:47 | And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched him declared to him before all the people, and how she was healed presently; |
| 8:48 | and he said to her, `Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.' |
| 8:49 | While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's `house', saying to him -- `Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;' |
| 8:50 | and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, `Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.' |
| 8:51 | And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother; |
| 8:52 | and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, `Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep; |
| 8:53 | and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die; |
| 8:54 | and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, `Child, arise;' |
| 8:55 | and her spirit came back, and she arose presently, and he directed that there be given to her to eat; |
| 8:56 | and her parents were amazed, but he charged them to say to no one what was come to pass. |
| 8:1 | And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, |
| 8:2 | And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, |
| 8:3 | And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. |
| 8:4 | And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: |
| 8:5 | A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. |
| 8:6 | And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. |
| 8:7 | And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. |
| 8:8 | And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. |
| 8:9 | And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? |
| 8:10 | And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. |
| 8:11 | Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. |
| 8:12 | Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. |
| 8:13 | They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. |
| 8:14 | And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. |
| 8:15 | But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. |
| 8:16 | No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. |
| 8:17 | For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. |
| 8:18 | Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. |
| 8:19 | Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. |
| 8:20 | And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. |
| 8:21 | And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it. |
| 8:22 | Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. |
| 8:23 | But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. |
| 8:24 | And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. |
| 8:25 | And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. |
| 8:26 | And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. |
| 8:27 | And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. |
| 8:28 | When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. |
| 8:29 | (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) |
| 8:30 | And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. |
| 8:31 | And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. |
| 8:32 | And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. |
| 8:33 | Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. |
| 8:34 | When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. |
| 8:35 | Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. |
| 8:36 | They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. |
| 8:37 | Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again. |
| 8:38 | Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, |
| 8:39 | Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. |
| 8:40 | And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. |
| 8:41 | And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: |
| 8:42 | For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him. |
| 8:43 | And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, |
| 8:44 | Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. |
| 8:45 | And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? |
| 8:46 | And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. |
| 8:47 | And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. |
| 8:48 | And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. |
| 8:49 | While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. |
| 8:50 | But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. |
| 8:51 | And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. |
| 8:52 | And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. |
| 8:53 | And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. |
| 8:54 | And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. |
| 8:55 | And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. |
| 8:56 | And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done. |
| 8:1 | And it happened afterwards, even He traveled in every city and village, preaching and announcing the gospel of the kingdom of God. And the Twelve were with Him; |
| 8:2 | also certain women who were healed from evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, having been called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, |
| 8:3 | and Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to Him of their possessions. |
| 8:4 | And a great crowd coming together, and those in each city coming to Him, He spoke through a parable: |
| 8:5 | The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the roadside and was trampled; and the birds of the heaven ate it. |
| 8:6 | And other fell on the rock; and sprouting, it dried up because of not having moisture. |
| 8:7 | And other fell in the midst of the thorns; and springing up with the thorns, they choked it. |
| 8:8 | And other fell on the good ground; and springing up, it produced fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, He cried out, The one having ears to hear, let him hear. |
| 8:9 | And His disciples questioned Him, saying, What might this parable be? |
| 8:10 | And He said, To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, that seeing they might not see, and hearing, they might not understand. Isa. 6:9 |
| 8:11 | And this is the parable: The seed is the Word of God. |
| 8:12 | And those by the roadside are those who hear, then the Devil comes and takes away the Word from their heart, lest believing they may be saved. |
| 8:13 | And those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the Word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a time, and in time of trial draw back. |
| 8:14 | And those falling in the thorns, these are those hearing, but under cares and riches and pleasures of life, having moved along, they are choked, and do not bear to maturity. |
| 8:15 | And those in the good ground, these are the ones who in a right and good heart, hearing the Word, they hold it and bear fruit in patience. |
| 8:16 | But no one lighting a lamp covers it with a vessel, or puts it underneath a couch, but sets it on a lampstand, that those coming in may see the light. |
| 8:17 | For nothing is hidden which will not be revealed, nor secret which will not be known and come to be revealed. |
| 8:18 | Then observe how you hear; for whoever may have, it will be given to him; and whoever may not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him. |
| 8:19 | And His mother and His brothers came to Him, and were not able to come up with Him through the crowd. |
| 8:20 | And it was told to Him, saying Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside wishing to see You. |
| 8:21 | And answering, He said to them, My mother and My brothers are these: the ones hearing the Word of God, and doing it. |
| 8:22 | And it happened on one of the days that He and His disciples entered into a boat. And He said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they put out to sea. |
| 8:23 | And as they sailed He fell asleep. And a storm of wind came onto the lake, and they were being filled and were in danger. |
| 8:24 | And coming up they awakened Him, saying, Master! Master! We are perishing! And being aroused, He rebuked the wind and the roughness of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm. |
| 8:25 | And He said to them, Where is your faith? And being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, Who then is this One, that He commands even the wind and the water, and they obey Him? |
| 8:26 | And they sailed down to the country of the Gadarenes, which is across from Galilee. |
| 8:27 | And He going out onto the land, a certain man out of the city met Him, who had demons from a long time. (And he put no garment on; and he did not stay in a house, but among the tombs). |
| 8:28 | And seeing Jesus, and crying out, he fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, What to me and to You, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I beg You, do not torment me. |
| 8:29 | For He charged the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him, and he was bound with chains and fetters, being guarded. And tearing apart the bonds, he was driven by the demons into the deserted places . |
| 8:30 | And Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name? And he said, Legion (because many demons entered into him). |
| 8:31 | And they begged Him that He not order them to go away into the abyss. |
| 8:32 | And there was a herd of many pigs feeding there in the mount. And they begged Him that He would allow them to enter into those. And He allowed them. |
| 8:33 | And coming out from the man, the demons entered into the pigs; and the herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and was choked. |
| 8:34 | And seeing the thing, those feeding the pigs fled. And leaving, they reported to the city and to the farms. |
| 8:35 | And they went out to see the thing happening, and came to Jesus. And they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and of sound mind. And they were afraid. |
| 8:36 | And those seeing also related to them how the demon-possessed one was healed. |
| 8:37 | And all the multitude of the neighborhood of the Gadarenes were seized with a great fear. And they asked Him to depart from them. And entering into the boat, He returned. |
| 8:38 | And the man from whom the demons had gone out begged Him, desiring to be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, |
| 8:39 | Go back to your house and tell what God did to you. And he went away proclaiming through all the city what things Jesus did to him. |
| 8:40 | And it happened as Jesus returned, the crowd gladly received Him, for they were all waiting for Him. |
| 8:41 | And, behold, a man named Jairus came, and this one was a synagogue ruler. And falling at the feet of Jesus, he begged Him to come into his house, |
| 8:42 | because an only daughter was born to him, about twelve years old ; and she was dying. And in His going, the crowd pressed on Him. |
| 8:43 | And a woman being in a flow of blood from twelve years, who had spent her whole living on physicians, and could not be cured by anyone, |
| 8:44 | coming up behind she touched the border of His garment. And instantly the flow of her blood stopped. |
| 8:45 | And Jesus said, Who was touching Me? And all having denied, Peter and those with Him said, Master, the crowds press on You and jostle. And do You say, Who was touching Me? |
| 8:46 | But Jesus said, Someone touched Me, for I knew power had gone out from Me. |
| 8:47 | And seeing that she was not hidden, the woman came trembling and kneeled down before Him and told Him before all the people for what reason she touched Him, and how she was instantly cured. |
| 8:48 | And He said to her, Daughter, be comforted. Your faith has healed you. Go in peace. |
| 8:49 | As He was yet speaking, someone came from the synagogue ruler, saying to him, Your daughter has expired. Do not trouble the Teacher. |
| 8:50 | But hearing, Jesus answered him, saying, Do not fear; only believe and she will be healed. |
| 8:51 | And coming into the house, He did not allow anyone to enter, except Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the child. |
| 8:52 | And all were weeping and bewailing her. But He said, Stop weeping. She has not died, but is sleeping. |
| 8:53 | And they scoffed at Him, knowing that she died. |
| 8:54 | But putting all outside, and taking hold of her hand, He called out, saying, Child, rise up! |
| 8:55 | And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. And He ordered something to eat be given to her. |
| 8:56 | And her parents were amazed. But He charged them to tell no one of that which occurred. |
