Mark 5:8-40

⁸(For hee saide vnto him, Come out of the man, thou vncleane spirit.)

⁹And he asked him, What is thy name? and hee answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

¹⁰And hee prayed him instantly, that hee would not send them away out of the countrey.

¹¹Now there was there in the mountaines a great heard of swine, feeding.

¹²And all ye deuils besought him, saying, Send vs into the swine, that we may enter into them.

¹³And incontinently Iesus gaue them leaue. Then the vncleane spirites went out, and entred into the swine, and the heard ranne headlong from the high banke into the sea, (and there were about two thousand swine) and they were choked vp in the sea.

¹⁴And the swineheards fled, and told it in the citie, and in the countrey, and they came out to see what it was that was done.

¹⁵And they came to Iesus, and sawe him that had bene possessed with the deuil, and had the legion, sit both clothed, and in his right minde: and they were afraide.

¹⁶And they that saw it, tolde them, what was done to him that was possessed with the deuil, and concerning the swine.

¹⁷Then they began to pray him, that hee would depart from their coastes.

¹⁸And when he was come into the shippe, he that had bene possessed with the deuil, prayed him that he might be with him.

¹⁹Howbeit, Iesus would not suffer him, but said vnto him, Goe thy way home to thy friendes, and shewe them what great thinges the Lord hath done vnto thee, and howe hee hath had compassion on thee.

²⁰So he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis, what great things Iesus had done vnto him: and all men did marueile.

²¹And when Iesus was come ouer againe by ship vnto the other side, a great multitude gathered together to him, and he was neere vnto the sea.

²²And beholde, there came one of the rulers of the Synagogue, whose name was Iairus: and when he sawe him, he fell downe at his feete,

²³And besought him instantly, saying, My litle daughter lyeth at point of death: I pray thee that thou wouldest come and lay thine hands on her, that she may be healed, and liue.

²⁴Then hee went with him, and a great multitude folowed him, and thronged him.

²⁵(And there was a certaine woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelue yeeres,

²⁶And had suffred many things of many physicions, and had spent all that she had, and it auailed her nothing, but she became much worse.

²⁷When she had heard of Iesus, shee came in the preasse behinde, and touched his garment.

²⁸For she said, If I may but touch his clothes, I shalbe whole.

²⁹And straightway the course of her blood was dried vp, and she felt in her body, that she was healed of that plague.

³⁰And immediatly when Iesus did knowe in himselfe the vertue that went out of him, he turned him round about in the preasse, and said, Who hath touched my clothes?

³¹And his disciples said vnto him, Thou seest the multitude throng thee, and sayest thou, Who did touche me?

³²And he looked round about, to see her that had done that.

³³And the woman feared and trembled: for she knewe what was done in her, and shee came and fell downe before him, and tolde him the whole trueth.

³⁴And hee saide to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.)

³⁵While hee yet spake, there came from the same ruler of the Synagogues house certaine which said, Thy daughter is dead: why diseasest thou the Master any further?

³⁶Assoone as Iesus heard that word spoken, he said vnto the ruler of the Synagogue, Be not afraide: onely beleeue.

³⁷And he suffered no man to follow him saue Peter and Iames, and Iohn the brother of Iames.

³⁸So hee came vnto the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, and sawe the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

³⁹And he went in, and said vnto them, Why make ye this trouble, and weepe? the childe is not dead, but sleepeth.

⁴⁰And they laught him to scorne: but hee put them all out, and tooke the father, and the mother of the childe, and them that were with him, and entred in where the childe lay,
