* 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 ship , 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 thee , Jesus , thou Son of the most high God ? I adjure thee by God , that thou torment me not . * For he said unto him , Come out of the man , thou unclean spirit . * And he asked him , What is thy name ? And he answered , saying , My name is Legion : for we are many . * And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country . * Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding . * And all the devils besought him , saying , Send us into the swine , that we may enter into them . * And 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 . * 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 befell to him that was possessed with the devil , and also concerning the swine . * And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts . * And when he was come into the ship , he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him . * Howbeit 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 . * And he departed , and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him : and all men did marvel . * And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side , much people gathered unto him : and he was nigh unto the sea . * And , behold , there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue , Jairus by name ; and when he saw him , he fell at his feet , * And 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 . * And Jesus went with him ; and much people followed him , and thronged him . * And a certain woman , which had an issue of blood twelve years , * And had suffered 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 straightway 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 virtue had gone out of him , turned him about in the press , and said , Who touched my clothes ? * And his disciples said unto him , Thou seest the multitude thronging thee , and sayest thou , Who touched me ? * 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 , Daughter , thy faith hath made thee whole ; go in peace , and be whole of thy plague . * While 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 ? * As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken , he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue , Be not afraid , only believe . * And he suffered no man to follow him , save Peter , and James , and John the brother of James . * And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue , and seeth the tumult , and them that wept and wailed greatly . * And when he was come in , he saith unto them , Why make ye this ado , and weep ? the damsel is not dead , but sleepeth . * And 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 . * And he took the damsel by the hand , and said unto her , Talitha cumi ; which is , being interpreted , Damsel , I say unto thee , arise . * And straightway 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 straitly that no man should know it ; and commanded that something should be given her to eat .
