* And they came over unto the other side of the sea , into the country of the Gadarenes . * And when he was come out of the boat , immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit , * Who had his dwelling among the tombs ; and no man could bind him , no , not with chains : * Because 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 . * And always , night and day , he was in the mountains , and in the tombs , crying , and cutting himself with stones . * But when he saw Jesus afar off , he ran and worshipped him , * And cried with a loud voice , and said , What have I to do with you , Jesus , you Son of the most high God ? I beg you by God , that you torment me not . * For he said unto him , * And he asked him , And he answered , saying , My name is Legion : for we are many . * And he asked him much that he would not send them away out of the country . * Now there was there close unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding . * And all the devils asked him , saying , Send us into the swine , that we may enter into them . * And immediately 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 . * And 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 . * And 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 . * And they that saw it told them how it happened to him that was possessed with the devil , and also concerning the swine . * And they began to ask him to depart out of their borders . * And when he was come into the boat , he that had been possessed with the devil asked him that he might be with him . * However Jesus did not permit it , but says unto him , * And he departed , and began to speak out in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him : and all men did marvel . * And when Jesus had passed over again by boat unto the other side , many people gathered unto him : and he was close unto the sea . * And , behold , there comes one of the rulers of the synagogue , Jairus by name ; and when he saw him , he fell at his feet , * And asked him greatly , saying , My little daughter lies at the point of death : I pray you , come and lay your hands on her , that she may be healed ; and she shall live . * And Jesus went with him ; and many people followed him , and thronged him . * And a certain woman , which had an issue of blood for twelve years , * And had endured many things of many physicians , and had spent all that she had , and was nothing bettered , but rather grew worse , * When she had heard of Jesus , came in the press behind , and touched his garment . * For she said , If I may touch but his clothes , I shall be whole . * And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up ; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague . * And Jesus , immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him , turned him about in the press , and said , * And his disciples said unto him , You see the multitude thronging you , and say you , * And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing . * 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 unto her , * While he yet spoke , there came from the ruler of the synagogue 's house certain which said , Your daughter is dead : why trouble you the Master any further ? * As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken , he says unto the ruler of the synagogue , * And he permitted no man to follow him , except Peter , and James , and John the brother of James . * And he comes to the house of the ruler of the synagogue , and sees the tumult , and them that wept and wailed greatly . * And when he was come in , he says unto them , * And they laughed him to scorn . But when he had put them all out , he takes the father and the mother of the damsel , and them that were with him , and enters in where the damsel was lying . * And he took the damsel by the hand , and said unto her , which is , being interpreted , * And immediately the damsel arose , and walked ; for she was of the age of twelve years . 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 .
