* And they came over the strait of the sea into the country of the Gerasens . * And as he went out of the ship , immediately there met him out of the monuments a man with an unclean spirit , * Who had his dwelling in the tombs , and no man now could bind him , not even with chains . * For having been often bound with fetters and chains , he had burst the chains , and broken the fetters in pieces , and no one could tame him . * And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains , crying and cutting himself with stones . * And seeing Jesus afar off , he ran and adored him . * And crying with a loud voice , he said : What have I to do with thee , Jesus the Son of the most high God ? I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not . * For he said unto him : Go out of the man , thou unclean spirit . * And he asked him : What is thy name ? And he saith to him : My name is Legion , for we are many . * And he besought him much , that he would not drive him away out of the country . * And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine , feeding . * And the spirits besought him , saying : Send us into the swine , that we may enter into them . * And Jesus immediately gave them leave . And the unclean spirits going out , entered into the swine : and the herd with great violence was carried headlong into the sea , being about two thousand , and were stifled in the sea . * And they that fed them fled , and told it in the city and in the fields . And they went out to see what was done : * And they came to Jesus , and they see him that was troubled with the devil , sitting , clothed , and well in his wits , and they were afraid . * And they that had seen it , told them , in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil ; and concerning the swine . * And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts . * And when he went up into the ship , he that had been troubled with the devil , began to beseech him that he might be with him . * And he admitted him not , but saith to him : Go into thy house to thy friends , and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee , and hath had mercy on thee . * And he went his way , and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him : and all men wondered . * And when Jesus had passed again in the ship over the strait , a great multitude assembled together unto him , and he was nigh unto the sea . * And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue named Jairus : and seeing him , falleth down at his feet . * And he besought him much , saying : My daughter is at the point of death , come , lay thy hand upon her , that she may be safe , and may live . * And he went with him , and a great multitude followed him , and they thronged him . * And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years , * And had suffered many things from many physicians ; and had spent all that she had , and was nothing the better , but rather worse , * When she had heard of Jesus , came in the crowd behind him , and touched his garment . * For she said : If I shall touch but his garment , I shall be whole . * And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up , and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil . * And immediately Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had proceeded from him , turning to the multitude , said : Who hath touched my garments ? * And his disciples said to him : Thou seest the multitude thronging thee , and sayest thou who hath touched me ? * And he looked about to see her who had done this . * But the woman fearing and trembling , knowing what was done in her , came and fell down before him , and told him all the truth . * And he said to her : Daughter , thy faith hath made thee whole : go in peace , and be thou whole of thy disease . * While he was yet speaking , some come from the ruler of the synagogue 's house , saying : Thy daughter is dead : why dost thou trouble the master any further ? * But Jesus having heard the word that was spoken , saith to the ruler of the synagogue : Fear not , only believe . * And he admitted not any man to follow him , but Peter , and James , and John the brother of James . * And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue ; and he seeth a tumult , and people weeping and wailing much . * And going in , he saith to them : Why make you this ado , and weep ? the damsel is not dead , but sleepeth . * And they laughed him to scorn . But he having put them all out , taketh the father and the mother of the damsel , and them that were with him , and entereth in where the damsel was lying . * And taking the damsel by the hand , he saith to her : Talitha cumi , which is , being interpreted : Damsel (I say to thee ) arise . * And immediately the damsel rose up , and walked : and she was twelve years old : and they were astonished with a great astonishment . * And he charged them strictly that no man should know it : and commanded that something should be given her to eat .
