Luke 8:29-54

²⁹(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For often it had caught him, and he was kept bound with chains, and in fetters: and he broke the bands, and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.)

³⁰And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many demons had entered into him.

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

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.

³³Then the demons went out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.

³⁴When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

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

³⁶They also who saw it , told them by what means he that was possessed by the demons was healed.

³⁷Then the whole multitude of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes, besought him to depart from them: for they were taken with great fear. And he went into the boat, and returned.

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

³⁹Return to thy own house, and show how great things God hath done to thee. And he went away and published throughout the whole city, how great things Jesus had done to him.

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

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

⁴²For he had one daughter only, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. (But as he was going, the people thronged him.

⁴³And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed by any,

⁴⁴Came behind him , and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

⁴⁵And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter, and they that were with him, said, Master, the multitude throng thee, and press thee , and sayest thou, Who touched me?

⁴⁶And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue hath gone out of me.

⁴⁷And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared to him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁸And he said to her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

⁴⁹While he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead: trouble not the Master.

⁵⁰But when Jesus heard it , he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be healed.

⁵¹And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.

⁵²And all wept and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not: she is not dead, but sleepeth.

⁵³And they derided him, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
