New Living Translation

1They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.

1So they arrived at the other side of the lake, in the region of the Gerasenes.

2When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him.

2When Jesus climbed out of the boat, a man possessed by an evil spirit came out from the tombs to meet him.

3This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.

3This man lived in the burial caves and could no longer be restrained, even with a chain.

4For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him.

4Whenever he was put into chains and shackles—as he often was—he snapped the chains from his wrists and smashed the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue him.

5Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

5Day and night he wandered among the burial caves and in the hills, howling and cutting himself with sharp stones.

6When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him.

6When Jesus was still some distance away, the man saw him, ran to meet him, and bowed low before him.

7He shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name don't torture me!"

7With a shriek, he screamed, “Why are you interfering with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In the name of God, I beg you, don’t torture me!”

8For Jesus had said to him, "Come out of this man, you impure spirit!"

8For Jesus had already said to the spirit, “Come out of the man, you evil spirit.”

9Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" "My name is Legion," he replied, "for we are many."

9Then Jesus demanded, “What is your name?” And he replied, “My name is Legion, because there are many of us inside this man.”

10And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.

10Then the evil spirits begged him again and again not to send them to some distant place.

11A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside.

11There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding on the hillside nearby.

12The demons begged Jesus, "Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them."

12“Send us into those pigs,” the spirits begged. “Let us enter them.”

13He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

13So Jesus gave them permission. The evil spirits came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the entire herd of about 2,000 pigs plunged down the steep hillside into the lake and drowned in the water.

14Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

14The herdsmen fled to the nearby town and the surrounding countryside, spreading the news as they ran. People rushed out to see what had happened.

15When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

15A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons. He was sitting there fully clothed and perfectly sane, and they were all afraid.

16Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man--and told about the pigs as well.

16Then those who had seen what happened told the others about the demon-possessed man and the pigs.

17Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.

17And the crowd began pleading with Jesus to go away and leave them alone.

18As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him.

18As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon possessed begged to go with him.

19Jesus did not let him, but said, "Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."

19But Jesus said, “No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.”

20So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

20So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them. Jesus Heals in Response to Faith

21When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.

21Jesus got into the boat again and went back to the other side of the lake, where a large crowd gathered around him on the shore.

22Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.

22Then a leader of the local synagogue, whose name was Jairus, arrived. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet,

23He pleaded earnestly with him, "My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live."

23pleading fervently with him. “My little daughter is dying,” he said. “Please come and lay your hands on her; heal her so she can live.”

24So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him.

24Jesus went with him, and all the people followed, crowding around him.

25And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years.

25A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding.

26She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.

26She had suffered a great deal from many doctors, and over the years she had spent everything she had to pay them, but she had gotten no better. In fact, she had gotten worse.

27When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,

27She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe.

28because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed."

28For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.”

29Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.

29Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition.

30At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

30Jesus realized at once that healing power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my robe?”

31"You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "and yet you can ask, 'Who touched me?' "

31His disciples said to him, “Look at this crowd pressing around you. How can you ask, ‘Who touched me?’”

32But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.

32But he kept on looking around to see who had done it.

33Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth.

33Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her, came and fell to her knees in front of him and told him what she had done.

34He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."

34And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”

35While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. "Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher anymore?"

35While he was still speaking to her, messengers arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. They told him, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.”

36Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, "Don't be afraid; just believe."

36But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.”

37He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.

37Then Jesus stopped the crowd and wouldn’t let anyone go with him except Peter, James, and John (the brother of James).

38When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.

38When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw much commotion and weeping and wailing.

39He went in and said to them, "Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep."

39He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.”

40But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.

40The crowd laughed at him. But he made them all leave, and he took the girl’s father and mother and his three disciples into the room where the girl was lying.

41He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which means "Little girl, I say to you, get up!").

41Holding her hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means “Little girl, get up!”

42Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.

42And the girl, who was twelve years old, immediately stood up and walked around! They were overwhelmed and totally amazed.

43He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.

43Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell anyone what had happened, and then he told them to give her something to eat.
