1In seguito egli se ne andava per città e villaggi, predicando e annunciando la buona notizia del regno di Dio.2Con lui vi erano i dodici e alcune donne che erano state guarite da spiriti maligni e da malattie: Maria, detta Maddalena, dalla quale erano usciti sette demòni;3Giovanna, moglie di Cuza, l’amministratore di Erode; Susanna e molte altre che li assistevano con i loro beni.
Il seminatore e i diversi terreni
4Or come si riuniva una gran folla e la gente di ogni città accorreva a lui, egli disse in parabola:5«Il seminatore uscì a seminare la sua semenza; e, mentre seminava, una parte del seme cadde lungo la strada: fu calpestato e gli uccelli del cielo lo mangiarono.6Un’altra cadde sulla roccia: appena fu germogliato seccò, perché non aveva umidità.7Un’altra cadde in mezzo alle spine: le spine, crescendo insieme ad esso, lo soffocarono.8Un’altra parte cadde in un buon terreno: quando fu germogliato, produsse il cento per uno». Dicendo queste cose, esclamava: «Chi ha orecchi per udire oda!»9I suoi discepoli gli domandarono che cosa volesse dire questa parabola.10Ed egli disse: «A voi è dato di conoscere i misteri del regno di Dio; ma agli altri se ne parla in parabole, affinché vedendo non vedano, e udendo non comprendano[1].11Or questo è il significato della parabola: il seme è la parola di Dio.12Quelli lungo la strada sono coloro che ascoltano, ma poi viene il diavolo e porta via la parola dal loro cuore, affinché non credano e non siano salvati.13Quelli sulla roccia sono coloro i quali, quando ascoltano la parola, la ricevono con gioia; ma costoro non hanno radice, credono per un certo tempo ma, quando viene la prova, si tirano indietro.14Quello che è caduto tra le spine sono coloro che ascoltano, ma se ne vanno e restano soffocati dalle preoccupazioni, dalle ricchezze e dai piaceri della vita, e non arrivano a maturità.15E quello che è caduto in un buon terreno sono coloro i quali, dopo aver udito la parola, la ritengono in un cuore onesto e buono e portano frutto con perseveranza.
La lampada sul candeliere
16«Nessuno, accesa una lampada, la copre con un vaso o la mette sotto il letto; anzi la mette sul candeliere, perché chi entra veda la luce.17Poiché non c’è nulla di nascosto che non debba manifestarsi, né di segreto che non debba essere conosciuto e venire alla luce.18Attenti dunque a come ascoltate: perché a chi ha, sarà dato, ma a chi non ha, anche quello che pensa di avere gli sarà tolto».
La madre e i fratelli di Gesù
19Sua madre e i suoi fratelli vennero a trovarlo, ma non potevano avvicinarlo a motivo della folla.20Gli fu riferito: «Tua madre e i tuoi fratelli sono là fuori e vogliono vederti».21Ma egli rispose loro: «Mia madre e i miei fratelli sono quelli che ascoltano la parola di Dio e la mettono in pratica».
Gesù calma la tempesta
22Un giorno egli salì su una barca con i suoi discepoli e disse loro: «Passiamo all’altra riva del lago». E presero il largo.23Mentre navigavano, egli si addormentò; e si abbatté sul lago un turbine di vento, tanto che la barca si riempiva d’acqua, ed essi erano in pericolo.24Essi, avvicinatisi, lo svegliarono, dicendo: «Maestro, Maestro, noi periamo!» Ma egli, destatosi, sgridò il vento e i flutti, che si calmarono, e si fece bonaccia.25Poi disse loro: «Dov’è la vostra fede?» Ma essi, impauriti e meravigliati, dicevano l’uno all’altro: «Chi è mai costui che comanda anche ai venti e all’acqua, e gli ubbidiscono?»
Gesù guarisce l’indemoniato di Gerasa
26Approdarono nel paese dei Gerasèni, che sta di fronte alla Galilea.27Quando egli fu sceso a terra, gli venne incontro un uomo della città: era posseduto da demòni e da molto tempo non indossava vestiti; non abitava in una casa, ma stava fra le tombe.28Appena vide Gesù, lanciò un grido, gli si gettò ai piedi e disse a gran voce: «Che c’è fra me e te, Gesù, Figlio del Dio Altissimo? Ti prego, non tormentarmi».29Gesù, infatti, aveva comandato allo spirito immondo di uscire da quell’uomo, di cui si era impadronito da molto tempo; e, anche quando lo legavano con catene e lo custodivano in ceppi, spezzava i legami e veniva trascinato via dal demonio nei deserti.30Gesù gli domandò: «Qual è il tuo nome?» Ed egli rispose: «Legione»; perché molti demòni erano entrati in lui.31Ed essi lo pregavano che non comandasse loro di andare nell’abisso.32C’era là un branco numeroso di porci che pascolava sul monte; e i demòni lo pregarono di permettere loro di entrare in quelli. Ed egli lo permise.33I demòni, usciti da quell’uomo, entrarono nei porci; e quel branco si gettò a precipizio giù nel lago e affogò.34Coloro che li custodivano videro ciò che era avvenuto, se ne fuggirono e portarono la notizia in città e per la campagna.35La gente uscì a vedere l’accaduto; e, venuta da Gesù, trovò l’uomo dal quale erano usciti i demòni che sedeva ai piedi di Gesù, vestito e sano di mente; e si impaurì.36Quelli che avevano visto raccontarono loro come l’indemoniato era stato liberato.37L’intera popolazione della regione dei Gerasèni pregò Gesù che se ne andasse via da loro, perché erano presi da grande spavento. Egli, salito su una barca, se ne tornò indietro.38L’uomo dal quale erano usciti i demòni lo pregava di poter restare con lui, ma egli lo rimandò, dicendo:39«Torna a casa tua e racconta le grandi cose che Dio ha fatte per te». Ed egli se ne andò per tutta la città, proclamando le grandi cose che Gesù aveva fatto per lui.
Gesù guarisce una donna e risuscita la figlia di Iairo
40Al suo ritorno, Gesù fu accolto dalla folla, perché tutti lo stavano aspettando.41Ecco venire un uomo di nome Iairo, che era capo della sinagoga; e, gettatosi ai piedi di Gesù, lo pregava di entrare in casa sua,42perché aveva una figlia unica, di circa dodici anni, che stava per morire. Or mentre Gesù vi andava, la folla faceva ressa intorno a lui.43Una donna, che aveva perdite di sangue da dodici anni {e aveva speso tutti i suoi beni con i medici} senza poter essere guarita da nessuno,44si avvicinò di dietro e gli toccò il lembo della veste; e in quell’istante il suo flusso di sangue cessò.45E Gesù disse: «Chi mi ha toccato?» E siccome tutti negavano, Pietro e quelli che erano con lui dissero: «Maestro, la folla ti stringe e ti preme».46Ma Gesù replicò: «Qualcuno mi ha toccato, perché ho sentito che una potenza è uscita da me».47La donna, vedendo che non era rimasta inosservata, venne tutta tremante e, gettatasi ai suoi piedi, dichiarò, in presenza di tutto il popolo, per quale motivo lo aveva toccato e come era stata guarita in un istante.48Ma egli le disse: «Figliola, la tua fede ti ha salvata; va’ in pace».49Mentre egli parlava ancora, venne uno dalla casa del capo della sinagoga, dicendo: «Tua figlia è morta; non disturbare più il Maestro».50Ma Gesù, udito ciò, rispose a Iairo: «Non temere; solo abbi fede, e sarà salva».51Arrivato alla casa, non permise a nessuno di entrare con lui all’infuori di Pietro, Giovanni, Giacomo, il padre e la madre della bambina.52Or tutti piangevano e facevano cordoglio per lei. Ma egli disse: «Non piangete, perché non è morta, ma dorme».53E ridevano di lui, sapendo che era morta.54Ma egli, prendendole la mano, disse ad alta voce: «Bambina, àlzati».55Lo spirito di lei ritornò ed ella si alzò subito; Gesù comandò che le fosse dato da mangiare.56E i genitori di lei rimasero sbalorditi; ma egli ordinò loro di non dire a nessuno quello che era avvenuto.
1Und es geschah danach, dass er nacheinander Städte und Dörfer[1] durchzog, indem er predigte und die gute Botschaft vom Reich[2] Gottes verkündigte[3]; und die Zwölf mit ihm, (Mat 9,35; Mar 1,14; Lu 4,43; Lu 9,2; Lu 13,22)2und einige Frauen, die von bösen Geistern und Krankheiten geheilt worden waren: Maria, genannt Magdalena[4], von der sieben Dämonen ausgefahren waren, (Mat 27,55; Mar 16,9; Lu 8,30)3und Johanna, die Frau des Chuza, des Verwalters Herodes’, und Susanna und viele andere, die ihnen[5] mit ihrer Habe dienten. (Mat 13,1; Mar 1,31; Mar 4,1; Lu 23,49; Lu 24,10)
Gleichnis vom Sämann
4Als sich aber eine große Volksmenge versammelte und sie aus jeder Stadt zu ihm hinkamen, sprach er in einem Gleichnis:5Der Sämann ging hinaus, seinen Samen zu säen; und indem er säte, fiel einiges an den Weg, und es wurde zertreten, und die Vögel des Himmels fraßen es auf.6Und anderes fiel auf den Felsen; und als es aufging, verdorrte es, weil es keine Feuchtigkeit hatte.7Und anderes fiel mitten unter die Dornen; und indem die Dornen mit aufwuchsen, erstickten sie es.8Und anderes fiel in die gute Erde und ging auf und brachte hundertfache Frucht. Als er dies sagte, rief er aus: Wer Ohren hat zu hören, der höre! (Lu 14,35)9Seine Jünger aber fragten ihn, was dieses Gleichnis bedeute.10Er aber sprach: Euch ist es gegeben, die Geheimnisse des Reiches[6] Gottes zu wissen, den Übrigen aber in Gleichnissen, damit sie sehend nicht sehen und hörend nicht verstehen. (Giov 12,40)11Dies aber ist die Bedeutung des Gleichnisses[7]: Der Same ist das Wort Gottes. (1P 1,23)12Die aber an dem Weg sind die, welche hören; dann kommt der Teufel und nimmt das Wort von ihren Herzen weg, damit sie nicht glauben und gerettet werden.13Die aber auf dem Felsen sind die, welche, wenn sie hören, das Wort mit Freuden aufnehmen; und diese haben keine Wurzel; für eine Zeit glauben sie, und in der Zeit der Versuchung fallen sie ab.14Das aber unter die Dornen fiel, sind die, welche gehört haben und hingehen und durch Sorgen und Reichtum und Vergnügungen des Lebens erstickt werden und nichts zur Reife bringen.15Das in der guten Erde aber sind die, welche in einem redlichen und guten Herzen das Wort, nachdem sie es gehört haben, bewahren und Frucht bringen mit Ausharren. (Sal 119,11; Mar 4,21; Giov 15,16; 1Te 2,13; Eb 10,36)
Gleichnis von der Lampe
16Niemand aber, der eine Lampe angezündet hat, bedeckt sie mit einem Gefäß oder stellt sie unter ein Bett, sondern er stellt sie auf ein Lampengestell, damit die Hereinkommenden das Licht sehen. (Lu 11,33)17Denn es ist nichts verborgen, was nicht offenbar werden wird, auch ⟨ist⟩ nichts geheim, was nicht bekannt wird und ans Licht kommt. (Lu 12,2)18Seht nun zu, wie ihr hört! Denn wer hat, dem wird gegeben werden, und wer nicht hat, von dem wird selbst, was er zu haben meint, genommen werden. (Mat 12,46; Mar 3,31; Lu 19,26)
Die wahren Verwandten Jesu
19Es kamen aber seine Mutter und seine Brüder zu ihm; und sie konnten wegen der Volksmenge nicht zu ihm gelangen.20Und es wurde ihm berichtet: Deine Mutter und deine Brüder stehen draußen und wollen dich sehen.21Er aber antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Meine Mutter und meine Brüder sind die, welche das Wort Gottes hören und tun. (Mat 7,24; Mat 8,23; Mar 4,35; Lu 11,28)
Stillung des Sturms
22Und es geschah an einem der Tage, dass er in ein Boot stieg, er und seine Jünger; und er sprach zu ihnen: Lasst uns übersetzen an das jenseitige Ufer des Sees. Und sie fuhren ab.23Während sie aber fuhren, schlief er ein. Und es fiel ein Sturmwind auf den See, und das Boot füllte sich[8] ⟨mit Wasser⟩, und sie waren in Gefahr.24Sie traten aber hinzu und weckten ihn auf und sprachen: Meister, Meister, wir kommen um! Er aber stand auf, bedrohte den Wind und das Gewoge des Wassers; und sie legten sich, und es trat Stille ein. (Sal 107,6)25Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Wo ist euer Glaube? Erschrocken aber erstaunten sie und sagten zueinander: Wer ist denn dieser, dass er auch den Winden und dem Wasser gebietet und sie ihm gehorchen? (Mat 8,28; Mar 5,1; Lu 9,43)
Heilung eines besessenen Geraseners
26Und sie fuhren nach der Landschaft der Gerasener, die Galiläa gegenüberliegt.27Als er aber an das Land gestiegen war, kam ihm ein Mann aus der Stadt entgegen, der Dämonen hatte und seit langer Zeit keine Kleider anzog und nicht im Haus blieb, sondern in den Grabstätten.28Als er aber Jesus sah, schrie er auf und fiel vor ihm nieder und sprach mit lauter Stimme: Was habe ich mit dir zu schaffen, Jesus, Sohn Gottes, des Höchsten? Ich bitte dich, quäle mich nicht. (Lu 4,34)29Denn er hatte dem unreinen Geist geboten, von dem Menschen auszufahren. Denn öfters hatte er ihn gepackt; und er war gebunden mit Ketten und Fußfesseln ⟨und⟩ bewacht ⟨worden⟩, und er zerbrach die Fesseln und wurde von dem Dämon in die Wüsten getrieben. (Mar 9,25; Lu 9,39)30Jesus fragte ihn aber und sprach: Was ist dein Name? Er aber sprach: Legion. Denn viele Dämonen waren in ihn gefahren. (Lu 8,2)31Und sie baten ihn, dass er ihnen nicht gebiete, in den Abgrund zu fahren. (2P 2,4; Ap 20,3)32Es war aber dort eine Herde von vielen Schweinen, die an dem Berg weideten. Und sie baten ihn, dass er ihnen erlaube, in jene zu fahren. Und er erlaubte es ihnen.33Die Dämonen aber fuhren von dem Menschen aus und fuhren in die Schweine, und die Herde stürzte sich den Abhang hinab in den See und ertrank.34Als aber die Hüter sahen, was geschehen war, flohen sie und verkündeten es in der Stadt und auf dem Land.35Die Leute aber gingen hinaus, um zu sehen, was geschehen war. Und sie kamen zu Jesus und fanden den Menschen, von dem die Dämonen ausgefahren waren, bekleidet und vernünftig zu den Füßen Jesu ⟨sitzen⟩; und sie fürchteten sich.36Die es aber gesehen hatten, verkündeten ihnen, wie der Besessene geheilt[9] worden war.37Und die ganze Menge aus der Umgegend der Gerasener bat ihn, von ihnen wegzugehen, denn sie waren von großer Furcht ergriffen. Er aber stieg in das Boot und kehrte wieder zurück. (At 16,39)38Der Mann aber, von dem die Dämonen ausgefahren waren, bat ihn, dass er bei ihm bleiben dürfe. Er aber entließ ihn und sprach:39Kehre in dein Haus zurück und erzähle, wie viel Gott an dir getan hat! Und er ging hin und rief aus durch die ganze Stadt, wie viel Jesus an ihm getan hatte. (Sal 126,3; Da 3,32; Mat 9,18; Mar 5,21)
Heilung der blutflüssigen Frau – Auferweckung der Tochter des Jaïrus
40Es geschah aber, als Jesus zurückkehrte, nahm ihn die Volksmenge auf, denn alle erwarteten ihn.41Und siehe, es kam ein Mann mit Namen Jaïrus – und er war Vorsteher der Synagoge – und fiel Jesus zu Füßen und bat ihn, in sein Haus zu kommen; (Mat 17,14; Mar 7,25)42denn er hatte eine einzige Tochter von etwa zwölf Jahren, und diese lag im Sterben. Während er aber hinging, drängten ihn die Volksmengen. (Lu 7,12)43Und eine Frau, die seit zwölf Jahren mit einem Blutfluss behaftet war und, obgleich sie ihren ganzen Lebensunterhalt an ⟨die⟩ Ärzte verwandt hatte, von niemand geheilt werden konnte,44kam von hinten heran und rührte die Quaste seines Gewandes an; und sogleich hörte ihr Blutfluss auf. (De 22,12; Mar 3,10)45Und Jesus sprach: Wer ist es, der mich angerührt hat? Als aber alle es abstritten, sprach Petrus[10]: Meister, die Volksmengen drängen und drücken dich![11]46Jesus aber sprach: Es hat mich jemand angerührt; denn ich habe gespürt, dass Kraft von mir ausgegangen ist. (Lu 5,17)47Als die Frau aber sah, dass sie nicht verborgen blieb, kam sie zitternd und fiel vor ihm nieder und berichtete vor dem ganzen Volk, aus welchem Grund sie ihn angerührt habe und wie sie sogleich geheilt worden sei. (Sal 38,10)48Er aber sprach zu ihr: Tochter, dein Glaube hat dich geheilt[12]. Geh hin in Frieden! (Lu 7,50)49Während er noch redete, kommt einer von dem ⟨Haus des⟩ Synagogenvorstehers und sagt zu ihm: Deine Tochter ist gestorben. Bemühe den Lehrer nicht! (Giov 11,14)50Als aber Jesus es hörte, antwortete er ihm: Fürchte dich nicht, glaube nur! Und sie wird gerettet werden. (Is 59,1)51Als er aber in das Haus kam, erlaubte er niemand hineinzugehen außer Petrus und Johannes und Jakobus und dem Vater des Mädchens und der Mutter. (Lu 9,28)52Alle aber weinten und beklagten sie. Er aber sprach: Weint nicht! Denn sie ist nicht gestorben, sondern sie schläft. (Lu 7,13)53Und sie lachten ihn aus, da sie wussten, dass sie gestorben war.54Er aber ergriff ihre Hand und rief und sprach: Mädchen, steh auf! (Lu 7,14)55Und ihr Geist kehrte zurück, und sogleich stand sie auf; und er befahl, ihr zu essen zu geben. (Mat 9,25)56Und ihre Eltern gerieten außer sich; er aber gebot ihnen, niemand zu sagen, was geschehen war. (Mat 10,1; Mar 6,7; Lu 5,14)
1Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him, (Mar 6,6; Lu 4,43)2and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, (Mat 27,55; Mat 27,56; Mat 27,61; Mat 28,1; Mar 15,40; Mar 16,9; Lu 23,49; Lu 23,55; Lu 24,10; Giov 19,25; Giov 20,1; Giov 20,18; At 1,14)3and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them[1] out of their means. (Lu 24,10)
The Parable of the Sower
4And when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable, (Mat 13,1; Mar 4,1)5“A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it. (Is 55,10; Am 9,13)6And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. (Giov 15,6)7And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. (Ger 4,3)8And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” (Gen 26,12; Mat 11,15)
The Purpose of the Parables
9And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant,10he said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ (Is 6,9; Mat 11,25; Mat 13,13; Mat 19,11; Ro 16,25; 1Co 2,6; Col 1,27; 1G 2,20; 1G 2,27)11Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. (Mat 13,18; Mar 2,2; Mar 4,13; Mar 4,33; Lu 1,2; At 8,4; Giac 1,21)12The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. (Mar 16,16)13And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of testing fall away. (Is 58,2; Ez 33,31; Os 6,4; Mar 6,20; Giov 5,35; Ga 1,6; Ga 5,7; 1Ti 4,1; Eb 3,12)14And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. (Mat 6,25; Giac 1,11)15As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience. (Os 14,8; Giov 15,5; Fili 1,11; Col 1,6; Eb 10,36; Giac 5,7)
A Lamp Under a Jar
16“No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. (Mat 5,15; Mar 4,21; Lu 11,33)17For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. (Mat 10,26; Lu 12,2; 1Ti 5,25)18Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.” (Mat 13,12; Lu 8,11)
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers
19Then his mother and his brothers[2] came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd. (Mat 12,46; Mat 13,55; Mar 3,31; Mar 6,3; Giov 2,12; Giov 7,3; Giov 7,5; Giov 7,10; At 1,14; 1Co 9,5; Ga 1,19)20And he was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you.”21But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.” (Lu 11,28; Giac 1,22)
Jesus Calms a Storm
22One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” So they set out, (Mat 8,23; Mar 4,36; Lu 5,1; Lu 8,33; Giov 6,16)23and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger. (Lu 8,22)24And they went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm. (Sal 65,7; Sal 104,7; Mat 14,32; Mar 6,51; Lu 4,39)25He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?” (Mar 1,27; Lu 5,9; Giov 14,27)
Jesus Heals a Man with a Demon
26Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes,[3] which is opposite Galilee. (Mat 8,28; Mar 5,1)27When Jesus[4] had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs. (Ap 18,2)28When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.” (Gen 14,18; Nu 24,16; Sal 57,2; Is 14,14; Da 3,26; Mat 14,33; Mar 1,23; Mar 1,26; Lu 1,32; Lu 4,3; Lu 4,9; Lu 4,33; Lu 6,35; At 8,7; At 16,17)29For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.) (Mat 12,43; Lu 11,24)30Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him. (Mat 26,53)31And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss. (Ap 9,1)32Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission.33Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned. (Lu 8,22)34When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.35Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. (Lu 8,27; Lu 10,39)36And those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed[5] man had been healed.37Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned. (Lu 5,8; At 16,39)38The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,39“Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him. (Sal 66,16; Lu 5,14)
Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus’s Daughter
40Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. (Lu 9,11)41And there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus’ feet, he implored him to come to his house, (Mat 9,18; Mar 5,22; Lu 13,14; At 13,15; At 18,8; At 18,17)42for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As Jesus went, the people pressed around him. (Mar 3,9; Lu 7,12; Lu 8,45)43And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians,[6] she could not be healed by anyone. (Le 15,25; Mar 12,44; Lu 21,4)44She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased. (Nu 15,38; De 22,12; Mat 14,36; Mat 15,28; Mat 17,18; Mat 23,5)45And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter[7] said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!”46But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.” (Lu 5,17; Lu 6,19; At 10,38)47And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.48And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.” (Lu 7,50)49While he was still speaking, someone from the ruler’s house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more.” (Lu 7,6; Lu 8,41; Giov 11,28)50But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.”51And when he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father and mother of the child. (Mar 3,17; Mar 14,33; Lu 9,28)52And all were weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping.” (Mat 11,17; Lu 7,13; Lu 23,27; Giov 11,4; Giov 11,11; At 20,10)53And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.54But taking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, arise.” (Mat 11,5; Mar 1,31; Lu 7,14; Lu 7,22; Giov 11,43)55And her spirit returned, and she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to eat. (Giudic 15,19; 1Sam 30,12)56And her parents were amazed, but he charged them to tell no one what had happened. (Mat 8,4)
Luca 8
King James Version
1And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,2And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,3And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.4And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:5A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.6And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.8And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.9And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?10And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.11Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.12Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.13They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.14And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.15But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.16No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.17For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.18Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.19Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.20And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.21And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.22Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.23But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.24And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.25And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.26And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.27And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.28When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.29(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)30And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.31And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.32And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.33Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.34When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.35Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.36They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.37Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.38Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,39Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.40And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.41And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:42For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.43And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,44Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.45And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?46And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.47And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediately.48And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.49While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.50But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.51And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.52And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.53And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.54And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.55And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.56And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
