*
And it came to pass (
5633 )
afterward ,
that he went (
5707 )
throughout every city and village ,
preaching (
5723 )
and shewing the glad tidings (
5734 )
of the kingdom of God :
and the twelve were with him ,
*
And certain women ,
which had been (
5713 )
healed (
5772 )
of evil spirits and infirmities ,
Mary called (
5746 )
Magdalene ,
out of whom went (
5715 )
seven devils ,
*
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herods steward ,
and Susanna ,
and many others ,
which ministered (
5707 )
unto him of their substance (
5723 ).
*
And when much people were gathered together (
5752 ),
and were come (
5740 )
to him out of every city ,
he spake (
5627 )
by a parable :
*
A sower (
5723 )
went out (
5627 )
to sow (
5658 )
his seed :
and as he sowed (
5721 ),
some fell (
5627 )
by the way side ;
and it was trodden down (
5681 ),
and the fowls of the air devoured (
5627 )
it .
*
And some fell (
5627 )
upon a rock ;
and as soon as it was sprung up (
5651 ),
it withered away (
5681 ),
because it lacked (
5721 )
moisture .
*
And some fell (
5627 )
among thorns ;
and the thorns sprang up with it (
5651 ),
and choked (
5656 ) (
5625 ) (
5656 )
it .
*
And other fell (
5627 )
on good ground ,
and sprang up (
5651 ),
and bare (
5656 )
fruit an hundredfold .
And when he had said (
5723 )
these things ,
he cried (
5707 ),
He that hath (
5723 )
ears to hear (
5721 ),
let him hear (
5720 ).
*
And his disciples asked (
5707 )
him ,
saying (
5723 ),
What might this parable be (
5751 )?
*
And he said (
5627 ),
Unto you it is given (
5769 )
to know (
5629 )
the mysteries of the kingdom of God :
but to others in parables ;
that seeing (
5723 )
they might not see (
5725 ),
and hearing (
5723 )
they might not understand (
5725 ).
*
Now the parable is (
5748 )
this :
The seed is (
5748 )
the word of God .
*
Those by the way side are (
5748 )
they that hear (
5723 );
then cometh (
5736 )
the devil ,
and taketh away (
5719 )
the word out of their hearts ,
lest they should believe (
5660 )
and be saved (
5686 ).
*
They on the rock are they ,
which ,
when they hear (
5661 ),
receive (
5736 )
the word with joy ;
and these have (
5719 )
no root ,
which for a while believe (
5719 ),
and in time of temptation fall away (
5736 ).
*
And that which fell (
5631 )
among thorns are (
5748 )
they ,
which ,
when they have heard (
5660 ),
go forth (
5740 ),
and are choked (
5743 )
with cares and riches and pleasures of this life ,
and bring no fruit to perfection (
5719 ).
*
But that on the good ground are (
5748 )
they ,
which in an honest and good heart ,
having heard (
5660 )
the word ,
keep (
5719 )
it ,
and bring forth fruit (
5719 )
with patience .
*
No man ,
when he hath lighted (
5660 )
a candle ,
covereth (
5719 )
it with a vessel ,
or putteth (
5719 )
it under a bed ;
but setteth (
5719 )
it on a candlestick ,
that they which enter in (
5740 )
may see (
5725 )
the light .
*
For nothing is (
574 )
secret ,
that shall not be made (
5695 )
manifest ;
neither any thing hid ,
that shall not be known (
5701 )
and come (
5632 )
abroad .
*
Take heed (
5720 )
therefore how ye hear (
5719 ):
for whosoever hath (
5725 ),
to him shall be given (
5701 );
and whosoever hath (
5725 )
not ,
from him shall be taken (
5701 )
even that which he seemeth (
5719 )
to have (
5721 ).
*
Then came (
5633 )
to him his mother and his brethren ,
and could (
5711 )
not come (
5629 )
at him for the press .
*
And it was told (
5648 )
him by certain which said (
5723 ),
Thy mother and thy brethren stand (
5758 )
without ,
desiring (
5723 )
to see (
5629 )
thee .
*
And he answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 )
unto them ,
My mother and my brethren are (
5748 )
these which hear (
5723 )
the word of God ,
and do (
5723 )
it .
*
Now it came to pass (
5633 )
on a certain day ,
that he went (
5627 )
into a ship with his disciples :
and he said (
5627 )
unto them ,
Let us go over (
5632 )
unto the other side of the lake .
And they launched forth (
5681 ).
*
But as they sailed (
5723 )
he fell asleep (
5656 ):
and there came down (
5627 )
a storm of wind on the lake ;
and they were filled (
5712 )
with water ,
and were in jeopardy (
5707 ).
*
And they came to him (
5631 ),
and awoke (
5656 )
him ,
saying (
5723 ),
Master ,
master ,
we perish (
5731 ).
Then he arose (
5685 ),
and rebuked (
5656 )
the wind and the raging of the water :
and they ceased (
5668 ),
and there was (
5633 )
a calm .
*
And he said (
5627 )
unto them ,
Where is (
5748 )
your faith ?
And they being afraid (
5679 )
wondered (
5656 ),
saying (
5723 )
one to another ,
What manner of man is (
5748 )
this !
for he commandeth (
5719 )
even the winds and water ,
and they obey (
5719 )
him .
*
And they arrived (
5656 )
at the country of the Gadarenes ,
which is (
5748 )
over against Galilee .
*
And when he went forth (
5631 )
to land ,
there met (
5656 )
him out of the city a certain man ,
which had (
5707 )
devils long time ,
and ware (
5710 )
no clothes ,
neither abode (
5707 )
in any house ,
but in the tombs .
*
When he saw (
5631 )
Jesus ,
he cried out (
5660 ),
and fell down before (
5627 )
him ,
and with a loud voice said (
5627 ),
What have I to do with thee ,
Jesus ,
thou Son of God most high ?
I beseech (
5736 )
thee ,
torment (
5661 )
me not .
* (
For he had commanded (
5707 ) (
5625 ) (
5656 )
the unclean spirit to come (
5629 )
out of the man .
For oftentimes it had caught (
5715 )
him :
and he was kept (
5746 )
bound (
5712 )
with chains and in fetters ;
and he brake (
5723 )
the bands ,
and was driven (
5712 )
of the devil into the wilderness .)
*
And Jesus asked (
5656 )
him ,
saying (
5723 ),
What is (
5748 )
thy name ?
And he said (
5627 ),
Legion :
because many devils were entered (
5627 )
into him .
*
And they besought (
5707 ) (
5625 ) (
5707 )
him that he would not command (
5661 )
them to go out (
5629 )
into the deep .
*
And there was (
5713 )
there an herd of many swine feeding (
5746 )
on the mountain :
and they besought (
5707 )
him that he would suffer (
5661 )
them to enter (
5629 )
into them .
And he suffered (
5656 )
them .
*
Then went (
5631 )
the devils out of the man ,
and entered (
5627 )
into the swine :
and the herd ran (
5656 )
violently down a steep place into the lake ,
and were choked (
5648 ).
*
When they that fed (
5723 )
them saw (
5631 )
what was done (
5772 ),
they fled (
5627 ),
and went (
5631 )
and told (
5656 )
it in the city and in the country .
*
Then they went out (
5627 )
to see (
5629 )
what was done (
5756 );
and came (
5627 )
to Jesus ,
and found (
5627 )
the man ,
out of whom the devils were departed (
5715 ),
sitting (
5740 )
at the feet of Jesus ,
clothed (
5772 ),
and in his right mind (
5723 ):
and they were afraid (
5675 ).
*
They also which saw (
5631 )
it told (
5656 )
them by what means he that was possessed of the devils (
5679 )
was healed (
5681 ).
*
Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought (
5656 )
him to depart (
5629 )
from them ;
for they were taken (
5712 )
with great fear :
and he went up (
5631 )
into the ship ,
and returned back again (
5656 ).
*
Now the man out of whom the devils were departed (
5715 )
besought (
5711 )
him that he might be (
5750 )
with him :
but Jesus sent him away (
5656 ),
saying (
5723 ),
*
Return (
5720 )
to thine own house ,
and shew (
5737 )
how great things God hath done (
5656 )
unto thee .
And he went his way (
5627 ),
and published (
5723 )
throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done (
5656 )
unto him .
*
And it came to pass (
5633 ),
that ,
when Jesus was returned (
5658 ),
the people gladly received (
5662 )
him :
for they were (
5713 )
all waiting for (
5723 )
him .
*
And ,
behold (
5628 ),
there came (
5627 )
a man named Jairus ,
and he was (
5707 )
a ruler of the synagogue :
and he fell down (
5631 )
at Jesus feet ,
and besought (
5707 )
him that he would come (
5629 )
into his house :
*
For he had (
5713 )
one only daughter ,
about twelve years of age ,
and she (
5625 )
lay a dying (
5707 ).
But as he went (
5721 )
the people thronged (
5707 )
him .
*
And a woman having (
5752 )
an issue of blood twelve years ,
which had spent (
5660 )
all her living upon physicians ,
neither could (
5656 )
be healed (
5683 )
of any ,
*
Came (
5631 )
behind him ,
and touched (
5662 )
the border of his garment :
and immediately her issue of blood stanched (
5627 ).
*
And Jesus said (
5627 ),
Who touched (
5671 )
me ?
When all denied (
5740 ),
Peter and they that were with him said (
5627 ),
Master ,
the multitude throng (
5719 )
thee and press (
5719 )
thee ,
and sayest (
5719 )
thou ,
Who touched (
5671 )
me ?
*
And Jesus said (
5627 ),
Somebody hath touched (
5662 )
me :
for I perceive (
5627 )
that virtue is gone (
5631 )
out of me .
*
And when the woman saw (
5631 )
that she was not hid (
5627 ),
she came (
5627 )
trembling (
5723 ),
and falling down before (
5631 )
him ,
she declared (
5656 )
unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched (
5662 )
him ,
and how she was healed (
5681 )
immediately .
*
And he said (
5627 )
unto her ,
Daughter ,
be of good comfort (
5720 ):
thy faith hath made thee whole (
5758 );
go (
5737 )
in peace .
*
While he yet spake (
5723 ),
there cometh (
5736 )
one from the ruler of the synagogues house ,
saying (
5723 )
to him ,
Thy daughter is dead (
5758 );
trouble (
5720 )
not the Master .
*
But when Jesus heard (
5660 )
it ,
he answered (
5662 )
him ,
saying (
5723 ),
Fear (
5737 )
not :
believe (
5720 )
only ,
and she shall be made whole (
5701 ).
*
And when he came (
5631 )
into the house ,
he suffered (
5656 )
no man to go in (
5629 ),
save Peter ,
and James ,
and John ,
and the father and the mother of the maiden .
*
And all wept (
5707 ),
and bewailed (
5710 )
her :
but he said (
5627 ),
Weep (
5720 )
not ;
she is not dead (
5627 ),
but sleepeth (
5719 ).
*
And they laughed him to scorn (
5707 ),
knowing (
5761 )
that she was dead (
5627 ).
*
And he put (
5631 )
them all out ,
and took (
5660 )
her by the hand ,
and called (
5656 ),
saying (
5723 ),
Maid ,
arise (
5728 ).
*
And her spirit came again (
5656 ),
and she arose (
5627 )
straightway :
and he commanded (
5656 )
to give (
5683 )
her meat (
5629 ).
*
And her parents were astonished (
5627 ):
but he charged (
5656 )
them that they should tell (
5629 )
no man what was done (
5756 ).
