Jesus

And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile:

`And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.' These things saying, he was calling, `He having ears to hear--let him hear.'

And his disciples were questioning him, saying, `What may this simile be?'

And he said, `To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude,

and it was told him, saying, `Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;'

and he answering said unto them, `My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.'

And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, `We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set forth,

and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.

And having come near, they awoke him, saying, `Master, master, we perish;' and he, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,

and he said to them, `Where is your faith?' and they being afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, `Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?'

and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs,

and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, `What--to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!'

For he commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and fetters--guarded, and breaking asunder the bonds he was driven by the demons to the deserts.

And Jesus questioned him, saying, `What is thy name?' and he said, `Legion,' (because many demons were entered into him,)

and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss,

and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, and he suffered them,

and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came unto Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;

And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back.

And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,

`Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him.

And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him,

and lo, there came a man, whose name is Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house;

because he had an only daughter about twelve years old , and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him,

having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood.
