1 On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.
Καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸ πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης εἰς τὴν χώραν τῶν
2 As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, He was met by a man with an unclean spirit, who was coming from the tombs.
Καὶ ἐκ τοῦ πλοίου εὐθὺς αὐτῷ ἐκ τῶν μνημείων ἄνθρωπος ἐν πνεύματι ἀκαθάρτῳ
3 This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.
ὃς τὴν κατοίκησιν εἶχεν ἐν τοῖς καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο αὐτὸν δῆσαι
4 Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.
διὰ τὸ αὐτὸν πολλάκις πέδαις καὶ ἁλύσεσιν δεδέσθαι καὶ διεσπάσθαι ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὰς ἁλύσεις καὶ τὰς πέδας συντετρῖφθαι, καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτὸν δαμάσαι.
5 Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.
καὶ νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας ἐν τοῖς καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἦν κράζων καὶ κατακόπτων ἑαυτὸν λίθοις.
6 When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.
ἰδὼν δὲ τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἔδραμεν καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ
7 And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”
καὶ κράξας φωνῇ μεγάλῃ τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί, Ἰησοῦ, υἱὲ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου; ὁρκίζω σε τὸν θεόν, μή με βασανίσῃς.
8 For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”
ἔλεγεν γὰρ αὐτῷ· ἔξελθε τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον ἐκ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
9 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”
Καὶ ἐπηρώτα αὐτόν· τί σοι; καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὄνομά μοι ὅτι πολλοί ἐσμεν.
10 And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.
καὶ παρεκάλει αὐτὸν πολλὰ ἵνα μὴ ἀποστείλῃ ἔξω τῆς χώρας.
11 There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.
ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ πρὸς ἀγέλη χοίρων μεγάλη βοσκομένη·
12 So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”
καὶ παρεκάλεσαν αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ δαίμονες λέγοντες· πέμψον ἡμᾶς εἰς τοὺς χοίρους ἵνα εἰς αὐτοὺς εἰσέλθωμεν.
13 He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.
καὶ ἐπέτρεψεν αὐτοῖς εὐθέως ὁ Ἰησοῦς. καὶ ἐξελθόντα τὰ πνεύματα τὰ ἀκάθαρτα εἰσῆλθον εἰς τοὺς χοίρους, καὶ ὥρμησεν ἡ ἀγέλη κατὰ τοῦ κρημνοῦ εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν ἦσαν δὲ ὡς δισχίλιοι καὶ ἐπνίγοντο ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ.
14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.
οἱ δὲ βόσκοντες χοίρους ἔφυγον καὶ εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἀγρούς. καὶ ἰδεῖν τί ἐστιν τὸ γεγονός.
15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
Καὶ ἔρχονται πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ θεωροῦσιν τὸν δαιμονιζόμενον καθήμενον καὶ ἱματισμένον καὶ σωφρονοῦντα, τὸν ἐσχηκότα τὸν καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν.
16 Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.
καὶ διηγήσαντο αὐτοῖς οἱ ἰδόντες πῶς ἐγένετο τῷ δαιμονιζομένῳ καὶ περὶ τῶν χοίρων.
17 And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
καὶ ἤρξαντο παρακαλεῖν αὐτὸν ἀπελθεῖν ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν.
18 As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.
Καὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πλοῖον παρεκάλει αὐτὸν ὁ δαιμονισθεὶς ἵνα ᾖ.
19 But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς οὐκ ἀφῆκεν αὐτόν, ἀλλὰ λέγει αὐτῷ· ὕπαγε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου πρὸς τοὺς σοὺς καὶ αὐτοῖς ὅσα ὁ κύριός καὶ ἠλέησέν σε.
20 So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.
Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν καὶ ἤρξατο κηρύσσειν ἐν τῇ Δεκαπόλει ὅσα ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· καὶ πάντες ἐθαύμαζον.
21 When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.
Καὶ διαπεράσαντος τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ πάλιν εἰς τὸ πέραν συνήχθη ὄχλος πολὺς ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν, καὶ ἦν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν.
22 A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet
Καὶ ἰδού ἔρχεται εἷς τῶν ἀρχισυναγώγων, ὀνόματι Ἰάϊρος· καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν πίπτει πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ
23 and pleaded with Him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Please come and place Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.”
καὶ αὐτὸν πολλὰ λέγων ὅτι τὸ θυγάτριόν μου ἐσχάτως ἔχει, ἵνα ἐλθὼν ἐπιθῇς τὰς χεῖρας σωθῇ καὶ
24 So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.
Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ὄχλος πολὺς καὶ συνέθλιβον αὐτόν.
25 And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.
Καὶ γυνὴ τις οὖσα ἐν ῥύσει αἵματος ἔτη
26 She had borne much agony under the care of many physicians and had spent all she had, but to no avail. Instead, her condition had only grown worse.
καὶ πολλὰ παθοῦσα ὑπὸ πολλῶν ἰατρῶν καὶ δαπανήσασα τὰ παρ᾽ πάντα καὶ μηδὲν ὠφεληθεῖσα ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον εἰς τὸ χεῖρον ἐλθοῦσα,
27 When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.
ἀκούσασα περὶ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ἐλθοῦσα ἐν τῷ ὄχλῳ ὄπισθεν ἥψατο τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ·
28 For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”
ἔλεγεν γὰρ ὅτι κἂν τῶν ἱματίων αὐτοῦ σωθήσομαι.
29 Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
Καὶ εὐθὺς ἐξηράνθη ἡ πηγὴ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτῆς καὶ ἔγνω τῷ σώματι ὅτι ἴαται ἀπὸ τῆς μάστιγος.
30 At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”
Καὶ εὐθὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐπιγνοὺς ἐν ἑαυτῷ τὴν ἐξ αὐτοῦ δύναμιν ἐξελθοῦσαν, ἐπιστραφεὶς ἐν τῷ ὄχλῳ ἔλεγεν· τίς μου ἥψατο τῶν ἱματίων;
31 His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”
Καὶ ἔλεγον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ· βλέπεις τὸν ὄχλον συνθλίβοντά σε καὶ λέγεις· τίς μου ἥψατο;
32 But He kept looking around to see who had done this.
καὶ περιεβλέπετο ἰδεῖν τὴν τοῦτο ποιήσασαν.
33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him trembling in fear, and she told Him the whole truth.
Ἡ δὲ γυνὴ φοβηθεῖσα καὶ τρέμουσα, εἰδυῖα ὃ γέγονεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ, ἦλθεν καὶ προσέπεσεν αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀλήθειαν.
34 “Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε. ὕπαγε εἰς εἰρήνην καὶ ἴσθι ὑγιὴς ἀπὸ τῆς μάστιγός σου.
35 While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”
ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος ἔρχονται ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀρχισυναγώγου λέγοντες ὅτι ἡ θυγάτηρ σου ἀπέθανεν· τί ἔτι σκύλλεις τὸν διδάσκαλον;
36 But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”
Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εὐθέως τὸν λόγον λαλούμενον λέγει τῷ ἀρχισυναγώγῳ· μὴ φοβοῦ, μόνον πίστευε.
37 And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
καὶ οὐκ ἀφῆκεν οὐδένα συνακολουθῆσαι εἰ μὴ Πέτρον καὶ Ἰάκωβον καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν Ἰακώβου.
38 When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.
Καὶ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἀρχισυναγώγου. καὶ θεωρεῖ θόρυβον κλαίοντας καὶ ἀλαλάζοντας πολλά,
39 He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”
καὶ εἰσελθὼν λέγει αὐτοῖς· τί θορυβεῖσθε καὶ κλαίετε; τὸ παιδίον οὐκ ἀπέθανεν ἀλλὰ καθεύδει.
40 And they laughed at Him. After He had put them all outside, He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and went in to see the child.
καὶ κατεγέλων αὐτοῦ. δὲ ἐκβαλὼν παραλαμβάνει τὸν πατέρα τοῦ παιδίου καὶ τὴν μητέρα καὶ τοὺς μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσπορεύεται ὅπου ἦν τὸ παιδίον ἀνακείμενον.
41 Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
καὶ κρατήσας τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ παιδίου λέγει αὐτῇ· ταλιθα κουμ, ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον, τὸ κοράσιον, σοὶ λέγω,
42 Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around. She was twelve years old, and at once they were utterly astounded.
καὶ εὐθὺς ἀνέστη τὸ κοράσιον καὶ περιεπάτει· ἦν γὰρ ἐτῶν δώδεκα. καὶ ἐξέστησαν ἐκστάσει μεγάλῃ.
43 Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
καὶ διεστείλατο αὐτοῖς πολλὰ ἵνα μηδεὶς γνοῖ τοῦτο, καὶ εἶπεν δοθῆναι αὐτῇ φαγεῖν.
