Luke 8:21-48

²¹and he answering said unto them, 'My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.'

²²And 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,

²³and 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.

²⁴And 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,

²⁵and 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?'

²⁶And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that is over-against Galilee,

²⁷and 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,

²⁸and 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!'

²⁹For 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.

³⁰And Jesus questioned him, saying, 'What is thy name?' and he said, 'Legion,' (because many demons were entered into him,)

³¹and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss,

³²and 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,

³³and 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.

³⁴And those feeding them, having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told it to the city, and to the fields;

³⁵and 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;

³⁶and those also having seen it, told them how the demoniac was saved.

³⁷And 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.

³⁸And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,

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.

⁴⁰And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him,

⁴¹and 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;

⁴²because he had an only daughter about twelve years old, and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him,

⁴³and 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,

⁴⁴having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood.

⁴⁵And 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!'

⁴⁶And Jesus said, 'Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from me.'

⁴⁷And 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;

⁴⁸and he said to her, 'Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.'
