Luke 8:15-47

¹⁵But that which fell in good ground, are they which with an honest and good heart heare the worde, and keepe it, and bring forth fruite with patience.

¹⁶No man when he hath lighted a candle, couereth it vnder a vessell, neither putteth it vnder the bed, but setteth it on a candlesticke, that they that enter in, may see the light.

¹⁷For nothing is secret, that shall not be euident: neither any thing hid, that shall not be knowen, and come to light.

¹⁸Take heede therefore how ye heare: for whosoeuer hath, to him shall be giuen: and whosoeuer hath not, from him shalbe taken euen that which it seemeth that he hath.

¹⁹Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come neere to him for the preasse.

²⁰And it was tolde him by certaine which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, and would see thee.

²¹But he answered, and sayd vnto them, My mother and my brethren are these which heare the worde of God, and doe it.

²²And it came to passe on a certaine day, that he went into a ship with his disciples, and he sayd vnto them, Let vs goe ouer vnto the other side of the lake. And they lanched forth.

²³And as they sayled, he fell a sleepe, and there came downe a storme of winde on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in ieopardie.

²⁴Then they went to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we perish. And he arose, and rebuked the winde, and the waues of water: and they ceased, and it was calme.

²⁵Then he sayde vnto them, Where is your fayth? and they feared, and wondered among them selues, saying, Who is this that commandeth both the windes and water, and they obey him!

²⁶So they sailed vnto the region of the Gadarenes, which is ouer against Galile.

²⁷And as he went out to land, there met him a certaine man out of the citie, which had deuils long time, and he ware no garment, neither abode in house, but in the graues.

²⁸And when he sawe Iesus, he cryed out and fell downe before him, and with a loude voyce sayd, What haue I to doe with thee, Iesus the Sonne of God the most High? I beseech thee torment me not.

²⁹For he commanded ye foule spirit to come out of the man: (for oft times he had caught him: therefore he was bound with chaines, and kept in fetters: but he brake the bands, and was caried of the deuill into wildernesses.)

³⁰Then Iesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he sayd, Legion, because many deuils were entred into him.

³¹And they besought him, that he would not commaund them to goe out into the deepe.

³²And there was there by, an hearde of many swine, feeding on an hill: and the deuils besought him, that he would suffer them to enter into them. So he suffered them.

³³Then went the deuils out of the man, and entred into the swine: and the hearde was caried with violence from a steepe downe place into the lake, and was choked.

³⁴When the heardmen sawe what was done, they fled: and when they were departed, they tolde it in the citie and in the countrey.

³⁵Then they came out to see what was done, and came to Iesus, and found the man, out of whom the deuils were departed, sitting at the feete of Iesus, clothed, and in his right minde: and they were afrayd.

³⁶They also which saw it, tolde them by what meanes he that was possessed with the deuill, was healed.

³⁷Then the whole multitude of the countrey about the Gadarenes, besought him that he would depart from them: for they were taken with a great feare: and he went into the ship, and returned.

³⁸Then the man, out of whome the deuils were departed, besought him that hee might be with him: but Iesus sent him away, saying,

³⁹Returne into thine owne house, and shewe what great things God hath done to thee. So hee went his way, and preached throughout all the citie, what great things Iesus had done vnto him.

⁴⁰And it came to passe, when Iesus was come againe, that the people receiued him: for they all waited for him.

⁴¹And beholde, there came a man named Iairus, and he was the ruler of the Synagogue, who fell downe at Iesus feete, and besought him that he would come into his house.

⁴²For he had but a daughter onely, about twelue yeeres of age, and she lay a dying (and as he went, the people thronged him.

⁴³And a woman hauing an yssue of blood, twelue yeeres long, which had spent all her substance vpon physicians, and could not be healed of any:

⁴⁴When she came behind him, she touched the hemme of his garment, and immediatly her yssue of blood stanched.

⁴⁵Then Iesus sayd, Who is it that hath touched me? When euery man denied, Peter sayd and they that were with him, Master, the multitude thrust thee, and tread on thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me?

⁴⁶And Iesus sayde, Some one hath touched me: for I perceiue that vertue is gone out of me.

⁴⁷When the woman sawe that she was not hid, she came trembling, and fell downe before him, and tolde him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediatly.
