Mark — Chapter 5

KJVAnd they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

KJVAnd when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

KJVWho had {his} dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

KJVBecause that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any {man} tame him.

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

KJVBut when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

KJVAnd cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, {thou} Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

KJVFor he said unto him, Come out of the man, {thou} unclean spirit.

KJVAnd he asked him, What {is} thy name? And he answered, saying, My name {is} Legion: for we are many.

KJVAnd he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

KJVNow there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

KJVAnd all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

KJVAnd forthwith 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, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

KJVAnd they that 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.

KJVAnd they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

KJVAnd they that saw {it} told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and {also} concerning the swine.

KJVAnd they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

KJVAnd when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

KJVHowbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

KJVAnd he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all {men} did marvel.

KJVAnd when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.

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

KJVAnd besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: {I pray thee}, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

KJVAnd {Jesus} went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

KJVAnd a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

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

KJVWhen she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

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

KJVAnd straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in {her} body that she was healed of that plague.

KJVAnd Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

KJVAnd his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

KJVAnd he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

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

KJVAnd he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

KJVWhile he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's {house certain} which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

KJVAs soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

KJVAnd he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

KJVAnd he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

KJVAnd when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

KJVAnd they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

KJVAnd he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

KJVAnd straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was {of the age} of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

KJVAnd he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
