24 So|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" disciples|strong="G3588" came|strong="G4334" and|strong="G2532" roused him|strong="G3588". ‘Sir, Sir,’ they|strong="G2532" cried|strong="G2532", ‘we|strong="G2532" are|strong="G3588" lost!’ Jesus|strong="G3004" rose|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" rebuked|strong="G2008" the|strong="G2532" wind and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" rushing waves|strong="G2830", and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" fell|strong="G1096", and|strong="G2532" a|strong="G1096" calm|strong="G1055" followed|strong="G1096".
25 ‘\+w Where|strong="G4226"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w your|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w faith|strong="G4102"\+w*?’ he|strong="G2532" exclaimed|strong="G3004". But|strong="G1161" in|strong="G2532" great|strong="G2532" awe and|strong="G2532" amazement|strong="G2296" they|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G4314" one|strong="G3588" another|strong="G3588", ‘Who|strong="G5101" can|strong="G3004" this|strong="G3778" be|strong="G1510", who|strong="G5101" commands|strong="G2004" even|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" winds and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" waves, and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" obey|strong="G5219" him|strong="G3588"?’
26 They|strong="G2532" reached|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" region|strong="G5561" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Gerasenes|strong="G1086", which|strong="G3588" is|strong="G1510" on|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" opposite side to|strong="G1519" Galilee|strong="G1056",
27 and|strong="G2532", on|strong="G1909" getting ashore|strong="G1831", Jesus|strong="G1831" met|strong="G5221" a|strong="G2192" man|strong="G5100", who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2192" demons|strong="G1140" in|strong="G1722" him|strong="G3588", coming|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1722" town|strong="G4172". For|strong="G1909" a|strong="G2192" long|strong="G2425" time|strong="G5550" this|strong="G3588" man|strong="G5100" had|strong="G2192" worn no|strong="G3756" clothing|strong="G2440", and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2192" not|strong="G3756" lived|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2192" house|strong="G3614", but|strong="G1161" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" tombs|strong="G3418".
28 Catching sight|strong="G3588" of|strong="G5207" Jesus|strong="G2424", he|strong="G2532" shrieked out|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" threw himself down|strong="G4363" before|strong="G4363" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" loud|strong="G3173" voice|strong="G5456" exclaimed|strong="G3004", ‘What|strong="G5101" do|strong="G5101" you|strong="G4771" want with|strong="G2532" me|strong="G1473", Jesus|strong="G2424", Son|strong="G5207" of|strong="G5207" the|strong="G2532" Most|strong="G5310" High|strong="G5310" God|strong="G2316"? I|strong="G1473" beg|strong="G1189" you|strong="G4771" not|strong="G3361" to|strong="G2532" torment me|strong="G1473".’
29 For|strong="G1063" Jesus|strong="G1831" was|strong="G3588" commanding|strong="G3853" the|strong="G2532" foul spirit|strong="G4151" to|strong="G1519" come|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831" of|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" man|strong="G1519". On|strong="G1519" many|strong="G4183" occasions it|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" seized|strong="G4884" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532", even|strong="G2532" when|strong="G2532" secured with|strong="G2532" chains|strong="G1199" and|strong="G2532" fetters|strong="G3976", and|strong="G2532" watched, he|strong="G2532" would|strong="G2532" break|strong="G1284" through anything that|strong="G3588" bound|strong="G1195" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" driven|strong="G1643" by|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" demon|strong="G1140" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" wilds.
30 ‘\+w What|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w your|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w name|strong="G3686"\+w*?’ Jesus|strong="G2424" asked|strong="G1905".
31 and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" demons begged|strong="G3870" Jesus|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3361" to|strong="G1519" order|strong="G2443" them|strong="G3588" away into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" bottomless pit|strong="G2532".
32 There|strong="G1563" was|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2532" herd of|strong="G2532" many|strong="G2425" pigs|strong="G5519" close by|strong="G1722" feeding|strong="G1006" on|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" hill-side; and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" demons begged|strong="G3870" Jesus|strong="G1565" to|strong="G1519" give them|strong="G3588" leave|strong="G2010" to|strong="G1519" enter|strong="G1525" into|strong="G1519" them|strong="G3588". Jesus|strong="G1565" gave|strong="G2010" them|strong="G3588" leave|strong="G2010".
33 They|strong="G2532" came|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831" from|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" man|strong="G1519" and|strong="G2532" took|strong="G2532" possession of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" pigs|strong="G5519"; and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" herd rushed|strong="G3729" down|strong="G2596" the|strong="G2532" steep|strong="G2911" slope into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" lake|strong="G3041" and|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" drowned.
34 When|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" men|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" tended them|strong="G3588" saw|strong="G3708" what|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2532" happened|strong="G1096", they|strong="G2532" ran|strong="G5343" away|strong="G5343", and|strong="G2532" carried|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" news to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" town|strong="G4172", and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" country round|strong="G2532".
35 The|strong="G2532" people|strong="G3588" went|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831" to|strong="G4314" see|strong="G3708" what|strong="G3739" had|strong="G2424" happened|strong="G1096", and|strong="G2532", when|strong="G1161" they|strong="G2532" came|strong="G2064" to|strong="G4314" Jesus|strong="G2424", they|strong="G2532" found|strong="G2147" the|strong="G2532" man|strong="G3739" from|strong="G3844" whom|strong="G3739" the|strong="G2532" demons|strong="G1140" had|strong="G2424" gone|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831", sitting|strong="G2521", clothed|strong="G2439" and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G2532" his|strong="G3708" right|strong="G4993" mind|strong="G4993", at|strong="G4314" Jesus|strong="G2424"’ feet|strong="G4228"; and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" awe-struck.
36 Those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G3588" seen|strong="G3708" it|strong="G1161" told them|strong="G3588" how|strong="G4459" the|strong="G1161" possessed man|strong="G1139" had|strong="G3588" been delivered.
37 Then|strong="G2532" all|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G4128" in|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" region|strong="G4066" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Gerasenes|strong="G1086" asked|strong="G2065" Jesus|strong="G2532" to|strong="G1519" leave them|strong="G3588", for|strong="G3754" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" terrified. Jesus|strong="G2532" got|strong="G1684" into|strong="G1519" a|strong="G2532" boat|strong="G4143" and|strong="G2532" returned|strong="G5290".
38 The|strong="G1161" man|strong="G3739" from|strong="G1831" whom|strong="G3739" the|strong="G1161" demons|strong="G1140" had|strong="G1510" gone|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831" begged|strong="G1189" Jesus|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" let|strong="G1161" him|strong="G3588" be|strong="G1510" with|strong="G4862" him|strong="G3588"; but|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G3004" sent him|strong="G3588" away|strong="G1831".
39 ‘\+w Go|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w back|strong="G5290"\+w* \+w to|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w your|strong="G3650"\+w* \+w home|strong="G3624"\+w*,’ he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G2532", ‘\+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w relate|strong="G1334"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* story \+w of|strong="G2316"\+w* \+w all|strong="G3650"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w God|strong="G2316"\+w* \+w has|strong="G2316"\+w* \+w done|strong="G4160"\+w* \+w for|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w you|strong="G4771"\+w*.’ \+w So|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w man|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w went|strong="G2424"\+w* \+w through|strong="G2596"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w whole|strong="G3650"\+w* \+w town|strong="G4172"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w proclaimed|strong="G2784"\+w*, \+w as|strong="G3745"\+w* \+w he|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w went|strong="G2424"\+w*, \+w all|strong="G3650"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w Jesus|strong="G2424"\+w* \+w had|strong="G2424"\+w* \+w done|strong="G4160"\+w* \+w for|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w him|strong="G3588"\+w*.
40 On|strong="G1722" his|strong="G3956" return|strong="G5290", Jesus|strong="G2424" was|strong="G1510" welcomed by|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" people|strong="G3793"; for|strong="G1063" everyone|strong="G3956" was|strong="G1510" looking|strong="G4328" out|strong="G1096" for|strong="G1063" him|strong="G3588".
41 And|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" man|strong="G3739" named|strong="G3686" Jairus|strong="G2383", who|strong="G3739" was|strong="G3588" a|strong="G2532" synagogue|strong="G4864" leader, came|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" Jesus|strong="G2424", and|strong="G2532" threw|strong="G4098" himself|strong="G1519" at|strong="G1519" Jesus|strong="G2424"’ feet|strong="G4228", with|strong="G3844" entreaties that|strong="G3739" he|strong="G2532" would|strong="G2532" come|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" house|strong="G3624",
42 because|strong="G3754" his|strong="G1722" only|strong="G3439" daughter|strong="G2364", who|strong="G3588" was|strong="G1510" about|strong="G5613" twelve|strong="G1427" years|strong="G2094" old|strong="G2094", was|strong="G1510" dying. As|strong="G5613" Jesus|strong="G1510" was|strong="G1510" going|strong="G5217", the|strong="G1722" people|strong="G3793" were|strong="G1510" pressing|strong="G4846" closely round|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588".
43 And|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" woman|strong="G1135", who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2532" suffered from|strong="G2532" haemorrhage for|strong="G1722" twelve|strong="G1427" years|strong="G2094", and|strong="G2532" whom|strong="G3588" no|strong="G3756" one|strong="G3762" could|strong="G2480" cure|strong="G2323",
44 came|strong="G4334" up|strong="G2476" behind|strong="G3693" and|strong="G2532" touched the|strong="G2532" tassel of|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" cloak|strong="G2440". Instantly the|strong="G2532" haemorrhage ceased.
45 ‘\+w Who|strong="G5101"\+w* touched \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*?’ Jesus|strong="G2424" asked|strong="G3004"; and|strong="G2532", while|strong="G1161" everyone|strong="G3956" was|strong="G3588" denying having|strong="G2532" done so|strong="G2532", Peter|strong="G4074" exclaimed|strong="G3004", ‘Why|strong="G5101", Sir, the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G3793" are|strong="G3588" crowding|strong="G4912" round|strong="G2532" you|strong="G4771" and|strong="G2532" pressing against you|strong="G4771"!’
46 ‘\+w Somebody|strong="G5100"\+w* touched \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*,’ said|strong="G3004" Jesus|strong="G2424", ‘\+w for|strong="G1063"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w felt|strong="G1097"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w power|strong="G1411"\+w* \+w had|strong="G2424"\+w* \+w gone|strong="G1831"\+w* \+w out|strong="G1831"\+w* \+w from|strong="G1831"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*.’
47 Then|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" woman|strong="G1135", when|strong="G1161" she|strong="G2532" saw|strong="G3708" that|strong="G3754" she|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" discovered, came|strong="G2064" forward trembling|strong="G5141", and|strong="G2532" threw herself down|strong="G4363" before|strong="G1799" him|strong="G3588"; and|strong="G2532", in|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" presence|strong="G1799" of|strong="G1223" all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G2992", she|strong="G2532" told him|strong="G3588" her|strong="G3708" reason|strong="G1223" for|strong="G3754" touching him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3754" she|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" been|strong="G2532" cured|strong="G2390" instantly.
48 ‘\+w Daughter|strong="G2364"\+w*,’ he|strong="G1161" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w your|strong="G4982"\+w* \+w faith|strong="G4102"\+w* \+w has|strong="G4102"\+w* delivered \+w you|strong="G4771"\+w*. \+w Go|strong="G4198"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w peace|strong="G1515"\+w* \+w be|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w with|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w you|strong="G4771"\+w*.’
49 Before|strong="G3844" he|strong="G3754" had|strong="G3588" finished speaking|strong="G2980", someone|strong="G5100" came|strong="G2064" from|strong="G3844" the|strong="G3588" house of|strong="G3844" the|strong="G3588" synagogue leader and|strong="G2064" said|strong="G3004", ‘Your|strong="G3588" daughter|strong="G2364" is|strong="G3588" dead|strong="G2348"! Do|strong="G3004" not|strong="G3371" trouble|strong="G4660" the|strong="G3588" teacher|strong="G1320" further|strong="G2089".’
50 But|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2424", hearing this|strong="G3588", spoke to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" leader, ‘\+w Do|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3361"\+w* \+w be|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w afraid|strong="G5399"\+w*; \+w only|strong="G3440"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w faith|strong="G4100"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w she|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w will|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w yet|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w be|strong="G2532"\+w* delivered.’
51 When|strong="G1161" he|strong="G2532" reached|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" house|strong="G3614", he|strong="G2532" did|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" allow anyone|strong="G5100" to|strong="G1519" go|strong="G1525" in|strong="G1519" with|strong="G4862" him|strong="G3588", except|strong="G1487" Peter|strong="G4074", John|strong="G2491", and|strong="G2532" James|strong="G2385", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" child|strong="G3816"’s father|strong="G3962" and|strong="G2532" mother|strong="G3384".
52 And|strong="G2532" everyone|strong="G3956" was|strong="G3588" weeping|strong="G2799" and|strong="G2532" mourning|strong="G2875" for|strong="G1063" her|strong="G1438".
53 They|strong="G2532" began to|strong="G2532" laugh at|strong="G2532" him|strong="G2532", for|strong="G3754" they|strong="G2532" knew|strong="G1492" that|strong="G3754" she|strong="G2532" was|strong="G2532" dead.
54 But|strong="G1161", taking|strong="G2902" her|strong="G3588" by|strong="G3004" the|strong="G1161" hand|strong="G5495", Jesus|strong="G3004" said|strong="G3004" in|strong="G3004" a|strong="G1161" loud voice, ‘\+w Child|strong="G3816"\+w*, \+w rise|strong="G1453"\+w*!’
55 The|strong="G2532" child’s spirit|strong="G4151" returned|strong="G1994" to|strong="G2532" her|strong="G1325", and|strong="G2532" she|strong="G2532" instantly stood|strong="G3588" up|strong="G1325"; and|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2532" ordered|strong="G1299" them|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2532" give|strong="G1325" her|strong="G1325" something to|strong="G2532" eat|strong="G2068".
56 Her|strong="G3588" parents|strong="G1118" were|strong="G3588" amazed|strong="G1839", but|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G3004" impressed on|strong="G1161" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3367" to|strong="G2532" tell|strong="G3004" anyone|strong="G3367" what|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2532" happened|strong="G1096".
