(Matthew 8:28–34; Luke 8:26–39)
1
And they went across the strait of the sea into the region of the Gerasenes.
2
And as he was departing from the boat, he was immediately met, from among the tombs, by a man with an unclean spirit,
3
who had his dwelling place with the tombs; neither had anyone been able to bind him, even with chains.
4
For having been bound often with shackles and chains, he had broken the chains and smashed the shackles; and no one had been able to tame him.
5
And he was always, day and night, among the tombs, or in the mountains, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6
And seeing Jesus from afar, he ran and adored him.
7
And crying out with a loud voice, he said: “What am I to you, Jesus, the Son of the Most High God? I beseech you by God, that you not torment me.”
8
For he said to him, “Depart from the man, you unclean spirit.”
9
And he questioned him: “What is your name?” And he said to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
10
And he entreated him greatly, so that he would not expel him from the region.
11
And in that place, near the mountain, there was a great herd of swine, feeding.
12
And the spirits entreated him, saying: “Send us into the swine, so that we may enter into them.”
13
And Jesus promptly gave them permission. And the unclean spirits, departing, entered into the swine. And the herd of about two thousand rushed down with great force into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
14
Then those who pastured them fled, and they reported it in the city and in the countryside. And they all went out to see what was happening.
15
And they came to Jesus. And they saw the man who had been troubled by the demon, sitting, clothed and with a sane mind, and they were afraid.
16
And those who had seen it explained to them how he had dealt with the man who had the demon, and about the swine.
17
And they began to petition him, so that he would withdraw from their borders.
18
And as he was climbing into the boat, the man who had been troubled by the demons began to beg him, so that he might be with him.
19
And he did not permit him, but he said to him, “Go to your own people, in your own house, and announce to them how great are the things that the Lord has done for you, and how he has taken pity on you.”
20
And he went away and began to preach in the Ten Cities, how great were the things that Jesus had done for him. And everyone wondered.

The Healing Touch of Jesus

(Matthew 9:18–26; Luke 8:40–56)
21
And when Jesus had crossed in the boat, over the strait again, a great crowd came together before him. And he was near the sea.
22
And one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus, approached. And seeing him, he fell prostrate at his feet.(a)
23
And he beseeched him greatly, saying: “For my daughter is near the end. Come and lay your hand on her, so that she may be healthy and may live.”
24
And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him, and they pressed upon him.
25
And there was a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years.
26
And she had endured much from several physicians, and she had spent everything she owned with no benefit at all, but instead she became worse.
27
Then, when she had heard of Jesus, she approached through the crowd behind him, and she touched his garment.
28
For she said: “Because if I touch even his garment, I will be saved.”
29
And immediately, the source of her bleeding was dried up, and she sensed in her body that she had been healed from the wound.
30
And immediately Jesus, realizing within himself that power that had gone out from him, turning to the crowd, said, “Who touched my garments?”
31
And his disciples said to him, “You see that the crowd presses around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”
32
And he looked around to see the woman who had done this.
33
Yet truly, the woman, in fear and trembling, knowing what had happened within her, went and fell prostrate before him, and she told him the whole truth.
34
And he said to her: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be healed from your wound.”
35
While he was still speaking, they arrived from the ruler of the synagogue, saying: “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”(b)
36
But Jesus, having heard the word that was spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue: “Do not be afraid. You need only believe.”
37
And he would not permit anyone to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38
And they went to the house of the ruler of the synagogue. And he saw a tumult, and weeping, and much wailing.
39
And entering, he said to them: “Why are you disturbed and weeping? The girl is not dead, but is asleep.”
40
And they derided him. Yet truly, having put them all out, he took the father and mother of the girl, and those who were with him, and he entered to where the girl was lying.
41
And taking the girl by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha koumi,” which means, “Little girl, (I say to you) arise.”
42
And immediately the young girl rose up and walked. Now she was twelve years old. And they were suddenly struck with a great astonishment.
43
And he instructed them sternly, so that no one would know about it. And he told them to give her something to eat.

(a)5:22 It seems from the wording of this verse that the person who approached was merely one of several rulers of the synagogue, since ‘archisynagogis’ is plural, and not the highest ranking of the leaders.(Conte)
(b)5:35 Now the ruler (singular) of the synagogue sends someone to tell Jairus that his daughter is dead. This one ruler who sent to Jairus seems to have a higher ranking than Jairus.(Conte)
(Matthew 8:28–34; Luke 8:26–39)
1
They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2
When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.
3
He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,
4
because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him.
5
Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6
When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
7
and crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don’t torment me.”
8
For he said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”
9
He asked him, “What is your name?” He said to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
10
He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11
Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.
12
All the demons begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them.”
13
At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
14
Those who fed the pigs fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.
15
They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.
16
Those who saw it declared to them what happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
17
They began to beg him to depart from their region.
18
As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.
19
He didn’t allow him, but said to him, “Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you and how he had mercy on you.”
20
He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.

The Healing Touch of Jesus

(Matthew 9:18–26; Luke 8:40–56)
21
When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
22
Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet
23
and begged him much, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live.”
24
He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.
25
A certain woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years,
26
and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
27
having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes.
28
For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.”
29
Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
30
Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31
His disciples said to him, “You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
32
He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
33
But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34
He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”
35
While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?”
36
But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Don’t be afraid, only believe.”
37
He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38
He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
39
When he had entered in, he said to them, “Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.”
40
They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.
41
Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!”
42
Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.
43
He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
