1And it came to pass, in due course, that he was passing through, city by city and village by village, proclaiming, and delivering the glad-message of the kingdom of God,and, the twelve, were with him; 2and certain women, who had been cured from evil spirits and infirmities,Mary, the one called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth, 3and Joana, wife of Chuza steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others,who indeed were ministering unto them out of their possessions. 4And, seeing that a great multitude were coming together, and they who from every city were journeying forth unto him, he spake through means of a parable: 5The sower went forth to sow his seed,and, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell beside the pathway, and was trodden down; and, the birds of heaven, devoured it. 6And, other, fell down upon the rock; and, growing, was withered, because it had not moisture. 7And, other, fell and thorns; and, growing together, the thorns, choked it. 8And, other, fell into good ground; and, growing, brought forth fruit, a hundredfold. These things, saying, he went on to cry aloudHe that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 9But his disciples began to question himWhat might, this very, parable be? 10And, he, saidUnto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of God; but, unto the rest, in parables,in order that, seeing, they may not see, and, hearing, they may not understand. 11Now the parable, is thisThe seed, is, the word of God. 12And, those beside the pathway, are they who have heard; afterwards, cometh the adversary, and catcheth away the word from their heart, lest, believing, they should, be saved. 13And, those upon the rock, are they who, as soon as they hear, with joy, welcome the word; and, these, not having, root, are they who, for a season, believe,and, in a season of testing, draw back. 14And, that which in among the thorns fell, these, are they who have heard; and, by anxieties and wealth and pleasures of life being borne along, are choked up, and bear not to perfection. 15But, that in the good ground, these, are they who, indeed, in a noble and good heart having heard the word, hold fast, and bear fruit with endurance. 16And, no one having lit a lamp, covereth it up with a vessel, or, beneath a couch, putteth it; but, upon a lamp-stand, putteth it, that, they who come in, may see the light. 17For there is no secret, which shall not be made, manifest; neither a hidden thing, which shall in anywise not be made known, or not come, where it can be seen. 18Be taking heed therefore how ye hear; for, whosoever shall have, it shall be given unto him; and, whosoever shall not have, even what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him. 19And his mother and brethren came near unto him, and were unable to reach him, because of the multitude. 20And it was reported to himThy mother and thy brethren, are standing outside, desiring, to see, thee. 21But, he, answering, said unto themMy mother and my brethren, are, thesethey who, the word of God, are hearing and doing. 22And it came to pass, on one of the days, that, he, entered into a boat, and his disciples; and he said unto themLet us pass over unto the other side of the lake. And they set sail. 23Now, as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And there came down a hurricane of wind upon the lake, and they began to be filled, and to be in peril. 24And, coming near, they roused him up, sayingMaster! Master! we perish! And, he, roused up, rebuked the wind, and the surging of the water; and they ceased, and it became a calm. 25And he said unto themWhere was your faith? But, struck with fear, they marvelled, saying one to anotherWho then is, this,that, even unto the winds, he giveth orders, and unto the water, and they hearken unto him. 26And they sailed down into the country of the Gerasenes, the which is over against Galilee. 27And, when he went forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, having demons; and, for a considerable time, he had put on no garment, and, in a house, would not abide, but among the tombs. 28But, seeing Jesus, he cried out aloud, and fell down before him, and, with a loud voice, saidWhat have I in common with thee, O Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I beg of theeDo not torment me! 29for he was about to charge the impure spirit to come out from the man. For, many times, had it snatched him away; and he used to be bound with chains and fetters, for a safe-guard, and was wont to break in pieces the bonds, and to be driven by the demon into the deserts. 30And Jesus questioned himWhat name hast thou? And, he, saidLegion! because many demons had entered into him. 31And they were beseeching him that he would not order them, into the abyss, to depart. 32Now there was there, a herd of a good many swine, feeding in the mountain; and they besought him, that he would suffer them, into those, to enter; and he suffered them. 33And the demons, going forth from the man entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down the cliff, into the lake, and were choked. 34And they who had been feeding them, seeing what had happened, fled, and carried tidings into the city, and into the country-places. 35And they went forth to see what had happened; and came unto Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone forth, sitting, clothed, and of sound mind, near the feet of Jesus,and they were struck with fear. 36And they who had seen it, reported unto them, how the demonized man was saved. 37And one and all of the throng of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes, requested him, to depart from them; because, with a great fear, were they oppressed. And, he, entering into a boat, returned. 38And the man from whom the demons had gone forth, began to beg of him, that he might be with him; but he dismissed him, saying 39Be returning unto thy house, and telling forth what great things, God, for thee, hath done. And he departed, through all the city, proclaiming what great things, Jesus, had done for him. 40Now, when Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him back, for they were all expecting him. 41And lo! there came a man, whose name was Jairus, and, the same, was, a ruler of the synagogue,and, falling down near the feet of Jesus, he began beseeching him to enter into his house; 42because he had, an only-begotten daughter, about twelve years old, and, she, was dying. Now, as he withdrew, the multitudes, were hemming him in. 43And, a woman, with a flow of blood of twelve years standing, who indeed could, from no one, be cured, 44coming near behind, touched the fringe of his mantle; and, instantly, was stayed the flow of her blood. 45And Jesus saidWho, is it that touched me? And, when all were denying, Peter saidMaster! the multitudes, are hemming thee in, and pressing along. 46But, Jesus, saidSome one touched me, for, I, took note of power, gone out from me. 47And, the woman seeing that she had not escaped notice, trembling, came, and, falling down before him, reported before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed instantly! 48And, he, said to herDaughter! thy faith, hath saved thee: Go thy way into peace. 49While yet he is speaking, there cometh one from the synagogue rulers, sayingThy daughter, is dead: No further, be troubling the teacher. 50But, Jesus, hearing, answered himDo not fear! Only believe, and she shall be saved. 51And, when he came into the house, he suffered no one to enter with him, save Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl, and the mother. 52And they were all weeping, and beating themselves, for her. And he saidBe not weeping; for she died not, but is sleeping. 53And they were deriding him, knowing that she died. 54But, he, grasping her hand, called aloud, sayingO girl! arise! 55And her spirit returned, and she rose up instantly, and he ordered that something should be given her to eat. 56And her parents were beside themselves. But, he, charged them to tell, no one, what had happened.
