2And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

2And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

3who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains,

6When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him.

7And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me.”

7And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

8For He said to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”

8For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

9Then He asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”

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

11Now a large herd of swine was feeding there near the mountains.

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

12So all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the swine, that we may enter them.”

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

13And at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.

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.

14So those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had happened.

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.

15Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been demon-possessed and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

16And those who saw it told them how it happened to him who had been demon-possessed, and about the swine.

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

17Then they began to plead with Him to depart from their region.

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

18And when He got into the boat, he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him.

18And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

19However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.”

19Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto 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 proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled.

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

21Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea.

23and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.”

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 shall live.

28For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”

31And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

32And He looked around to see her who had done this thing.

34And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

35While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”

35While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

36As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.”

39And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

40And they ridiculed Him. But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying.

40And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

41Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”

41And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

42Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement.
