Mark 5:9-27

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

¹⁰And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

¹¹Now there was there nigh to the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

¹²And all the demons besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

¹³And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea (they were about two thousand) and were choked in the sea.

¹⁴And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

¹⁵And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the demon, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

¹⁶And they that saw it told them how it befell him that was possessed with the demon, and also concerning the swine.

¹⁷And they began to pray him to depart out of their borders.

¹⁸And when he had come into the boat, he that had been possessed with the demon prayed him that he might be with him.

¹⁹Yet Jesus suffered him not, but saith to him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

²⁰And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him. And all men wondered.

²¹And when Jesus had passed over again in a boat to the other side, much people gathered to him: and he was nigh to the sea.

²²And behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

²³And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee , come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she will live.

²⁴And Jesus went with him; and many people followed him, and thronged him.

²⁵And a certain woman who had an issue of blood twelve years,

²⁶And had suffered many things from many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was not relieved, but rather grew worse,

²⁷When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment.
