Mark 5

¹And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.

²And [on] His having gone out of the boat, immediately out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit met Him,

³who had [his] dwelling in the tombs. And no longer was anyone able to bind him, not even with a chain,

⁴because he often had been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn in two by him, and the shackles had been shattered. And no one had strength to subdue him.

⁵And constantly all night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.

⁶And having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

⁷And having cried out in a loud voice, he says, “What [is it] to me and to You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure You by God, do not torment me!”

⁸For He was saying to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”

⁹And He was asking him, “What [is] your name?” And he says to Him, “Legion [is] my name, because we are many.”

¹⁰And he implored Him much that He might not send them out of the region.

¹¹Now there was near the mountain a great herd of pigs feeding.

¹²And they implored Him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, so that we may enter into them.”

¹³And He allowed them. And the unclean spirits, having gone out, entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea—about two thousand—and they were drowned in the sea.

¹⁴And those feeding them fled and reported [it] to the city and to the fields. And they went to see what it is that has happened.

¹⁵And they come to Jesus, and they see the [man] possessed by demons sitting, clothed and sound-minded—the one having had the legion—and they were afraid.

¹⁶And those having seen [it] related to them how it happened to the one possessed by demons, and about the pigs.

¹⁷And they began to implore Him to go away from their borders.

¹⁸And [on] His having entered into the boat, the one having been possessed by demons was imploring Him that he might be with Him.

¹⁹And He did not permit him, but He says to him, “Go to your house, to your⁺ own, and report to them how much the Lord has done for you, and [how] He had mercy on you.”

²⁰And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus did for him. And all were marveling.

²¹And [on] Jesus having crossed over in the boat again to the other side, a great crowd was gathered to Him, and He was beside the sea.

²²And one of the synagogue rulers comes, named Jairus, and having seen Him, he falls at His feet,

²³and he implores Him much, saying, “My little daughter is holding at the end, so that, having come, You might lay the hands on her, so that she might be saved, and she might live.”

²⁴And He went away with him. And a great crowd was following Him, and they were pressing in on Him.

²⁵And a woman, being with a flow of blood twelve years,

²⁶and having suffered much under many physicians, and having spent all of hers and having benefited in no way, but rather to the worse having come,

²⁷having heard about Jesus, having come in the crowd behind, she touched His garment.

²⁸For she was saying, “If I shall touch even His garments, I will be saved.”

²⁹And immediately her flow of blood was dried up, and she knew in the body that she was healed from the affliction.

³⁰And immediately Jesus, having known in Himself the power having gone out of Him, having turned in the crowd, said, “Who touched My garments?”

³¹And His disciples were saying to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”

³²And He was looking around to see the one having done this.

³³And the woman, having been afraid and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him, and told Him all the truth.

³⁴And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace and be sound from your affliction.”

³⁵[In] His still speaking, they come from the synagogue ruler, saying, “Your daughter died; why do you still trouble the Teacher?”

³⁶But Jesus, having heard the word spoken, says to the synagogue ruler, “Do not fear; only believe.”

³⁷And He did not allow [anyone] to follow with Him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

³⁸And they come to the house of the synagogue ruler, and He sees a commotion, and much weeping and wailing.

³⁹And having entered, He says to them, “Why do you⁺ make a commotion and weep? The child did not die, but sleeps.”

⁴⁰And they were laughing at Him. And He, having put all outside, takes along the father and the mother of the child, and those with Him, and He enters in where the child was.

⁴¹And having taken the hand of the child, He says to her, “Talitha, koum!” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!”

⁴²And immediately the girl arose and began walking, for she was of twelve years. And immediately they were amazed with great amazement.

⁴³And He instructed them much that no one should know this; and He said to be given to her to eat.
