Luke 8:21-48

²¹Who answering, said to them: My mother and my brethren are they who hear the word of God, and do it.

²²And it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a little ship with his disciples, and he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

²³And when they were sailing, he slept; and there came down a storm of wind upon the lake, and they were filled, and were in danger.

²⁴And they came and awaked him, saying: Master, we perish. But he arising, rebuked the wind and the rage of the water; and it ceased, and there was a calm.

²⁵And he said to them: Where is your faith? Who being afraid, wondered, saying one to another: Who is this, (think you), that he commandeth both the winds and the sea, and they obey him?

²⁶And they sailed to the country of the Gerasens, which is over against Galilee.

²⁷And when he was come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time, and he wore no clothes, neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres.

²⁸And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him; and crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.

²⁹For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him, and he was bound with chains, and kept in fetters; and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.

³⁰And Jesus asked him, saying: What is thy name? But he said: Legion; because many devils were entered into him.

³¹And they besought him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.

³²And there was there a 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.

³³The devils therefore went out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were stifled.

³⁴Which when they that fed them saw done, they fled away, and told it in the city and in the villages.

³⁵And they went out to see what was done; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at his feet, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

³⁶And they also that had seen, told them how he had been healed from the legion.

³⁷And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasens besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear. And he, going up into the ship, returned back again.

³⁸Now the man, out of whom the devils were departed, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying:

³⁹Return to thy house, and tell how great things God hath done to thee. And he went through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done to him.

⁴⁰And it came to pass, that when Jesus was returned, the multitude received him: for they were all waiting for him.

⁴¹And behold there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, beseeching him that he would come into his house:

⁴²For he had an only daughter, almost twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened as he went, that he was thronged by the multitudes.

⁴³And there was a certain woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had bestowed all her substance on physicians, and could not be healed by any.

⁴⁴She came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment; and immediately the issue of her blood stopped.

⁴⁵And Jesus said: Who is it that touched me? And all denying, Peter and they that were with him said: Master, the multitudes throng and press thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?

⁴⁶And Jesus said: Somebody hath touched me; for I know that virtue is gone out from me.

⁴⁷And the woman seeing that she was not hid, came trembling, and fell down before his feet, and declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed.

⁴⁸But he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go thy way in peace.
