CHAP. V. / 1 Christ deliuering the possessed of the Legion of deuils, 13 They enter into the swine, 25 Hee healeth the woman of the bloody issue, 35 and raiseth from death Iairus his daughter.

1And they came ouer vnto the other side of the sea, into the countrey of the Gadarenes.Select Mark 5:1

2And when hee was come out of the ship, immediatly there met him out of the tombes, a man with an vncleane spirit,Select Mark 5:2

3Who had his dwelling among the tombs, and no man could binde him, no not with chaines:Select Mark 5:3

4Because that hee had bene often bound with fetters and chaines, and the chaines had bene plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.Select Mark 5:4

5And alwayes night and day, hee was in the mountaines, and in the tombes, crying, and cutting himselfe with stones.Select Mark 5:5

6But when hee saw Iesus afarre off, he came and worshipped him,Select Mark 5:6

7And cried with a lowd voice, and said, What haue I to doe with thee, Iesus, thou Sonne of the most high God? I adiure thee by God, that thou torment me not.Select Mark 5:7

8(For he said vnto him, Come out of the man, thou vncleane spirit.)Select Mark 5:8

9And he asked him, What is thy name? And hee answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.Select Mark 5:9

10And hee besought him much, that he would not send them away out of the countrey.Select Mark 5:10

11Now there was there nigh vnto the mountaines a great herd of swine, feeding.Select Mark 5:11

12And all the deuils besought him, saying, Send vs into the swine, that we may enter into them.Select Mark 5:12

13And forthwith Iesus gaue them leaue. And the vncleane spirits went out, and entred into the swine, and the herd ranne violently downe a steepe place into the sea (they were about two thousand) and were choked in the sea.Select Mark 5:13

14And they that fed the swine fled, and tolde it in the citie, and in the countrey. And they went out to see what it was that was done.Select Mark 5:14

15And they come to Iesus, and see him that was possessed with the deuill, and had the Legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right minde: and they were afraid.Select Mark 5:15

16And they that saw it, tolde them how it befell to him that was possessed with the deuill, and also concerning the swine.Select Mark 5:16

17And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.Select Mark 5:17

18And when hee was come into the ship, he that had bene possessed with the deuill prayed him that hee might bee with him.Select Mark 5:18

19Howbeit Iesus suffered him not, but saith vnto him, Goe home to thy friends, and tel them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.Select Mark 5:19

20And hee departed, and began to publish in Decapolis, how great things Iesus had done for him: and all men did marueile.Select Mark 5:20

21And when Iesus was passed ouer againe by ship vnto the other side, much people gathered vnto him, and he was nigh vnto the Sea.Select Mark 5:21

22And behold, there commeth one of the Rulers of the Synagogue, Iairus by name, and when he saw him, he fell at his feete,Select Mark 5:22

23And besought him greatly, saying, My litle daughter lieth at the point of death, I pray thee come and lay thy hands on her, that shee may be healed, and she shall liue.Select Mark 5:23

24And Iesus went with him, and much people followed him, and thronged him.Select Mark 5:24

25And a certaine woman which had an issue of blood twelue yeeres,Select Mark 5:25

26And had suffered many things of many Physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,Select Mark 5:26

27When shee had heard of Iesus, came in the prease behinde, and touched his garment.Select Mark 5:27

28For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shalbe whole.Select Mark 5:28

29And straightway the fountaine of her blood was dried vp: and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.Select Mark 5:29

30And Iesus immediatly knowing in himselfe that vertue had gone out of him, turned him about in the preasse, and said, Who touched my clothes?Select Mark 5:30

31And his disciples said vnto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?Select Mark 5:31

32And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.Select Mark 5:32

33But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell downe before him, and tolde him all the trueth.Select Mark 5:33

34And he said vnto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole, goe in peace, and be whole of thy plague.Select Mark 5:34

35While hee yet spake, there came from the Ruler of the Synagogues house, certaine which said, Thy daughter is dead, why troublest thou the Master any further?Select Mark 5:35

36Assoone as Iesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith vnto the Ruler of the Synagogue, Be not afraid, onely beleeue.Select Mark 5:36

37And he suffered no man to follow him, saue Peter, & Iames, and Iohn the brother of Iames.Select Mark 5:37

38And hee commeth to the house of the Ruler of the Synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.Select Mark 5:38

39And when he was come in, hee saith vnto them, Why make yee this adoe, and weepe? the damosell is not dead, but sleepeth.Select Mark 5:39

40And they laughed him to scorne: but when he had put them all out, hee taketh the father and the mother of the damosell, and them that were with him, and entreth in where the damosell was lying.Select Mark 5:40

41And he tooke the damosell by the hand, and said vnto her, Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damosell (I say vnto thee) Arise.Select Mark 5:41

42And straightway the damosell arose, and walked, for shee was of the age of twelue yeeres: and they were astonished with a great astonishment.Select Mark 5:42

43And hee charged them straitly, that no man should know it: and commanded that some thing should be giuen her to eate.Select Mark 5:43
