Mark 5

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

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

⁴because he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Neither could anyone tame him.

⁵And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.

⁶But when he saw Jesus from far off, he ran and worshipped him,

⁷and cried with a loud voice and said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beg you by God, do not torment me.

⁸For he had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

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

¹⁰And he begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

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

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

¹³And at once 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 (there were about two thousand), and were drowned in the sea.

¹⁴And those who 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.

¹⁵And they came to Jesus and saw him who had been possessed with the devil, 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 was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

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

¹⁸And when he had come into the ship, he who had been possessed with the devil begged 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 how great things the Lord has done for you, and has had compassion on you.

²⁰And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him, and all men marvelled.

²¹And when Jesus had passed over again by ship to the other side, many people gathered to him, and he was near the sea.

²²And behold, there came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

²³and begged him greatly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death. I pray you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she shall live.

²⁴And Jesus went with him, and many people followed him and thronged him.

²⁵And a certain woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years,

²⁶and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

²⁷when she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind and touched his garment.

²⁸For she said, If I may but touch his clothes, I shall be whole.

²⁹And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

³⁰And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him, turned about in the crowd and said, Who touched my clothes?

³¹And his disciples said to him, You see the crowd pressing you, and you say, Who touched me?

³²And he looked round about to see her who had done this thing.

³³But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him and told him all the truth.

³⁴And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you whole. Go in peace, and be whole of your plague.

³⁵While he yet spoke, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain who said, Your daughter is dead. Why trouble 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.

³⁷And he permitted no one to follow him except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

³⁸And he came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue and saw the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

³⁹And when he had come in, he said to them, Why make this commotion and weep? The girl is not dead, but sleeps.

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

⁴¹And he took the girl by the hand and said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted, Girl, I say to you, arise.

⁴²And straightway the girl arose and walked, for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

⁴³And he charged them strictly that no one should know it, and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
