5:1  They came to the other side of the sea, into the region of the Gerasenes.
5:2  When He got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him.
5:3  He lived among the tombs; and no one was able to bind him anymore, not even with a chain,
5:4  because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces; and no one was strong enough to subdue him.
5:5  Constantly, night and day, he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains, and cutting himself with stones.
5:6  Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him;
5:7  and shouting with a loud voice, he *said, “What business do You have with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!”
5:8  For He had already been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”
5:9  And He was asking him, “What is your name?” And he *said to Him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
5:10  And he begged Him earnestly not to send them out of the region.
5:11  Now there was a large herd of pigs feeding nearby on the mountain.
5:12  And the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us into the pigs so that we may enter them.”
5:13  Jesus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the pigs; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea.
5:14  Their herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the countryside. And the people came to see what it was that had happened.
5:15  And then they *came to Jesus and *saw the man who had been demon-possessed sitting down, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had previously had the “legion”; and they became frightened.
5:16  Those who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the demon-possessed man, and all about the pigs.
5:17  And they began to beg Him to leave their region.
5:18  And as He was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed was begging Him that he might accompany Him.
5:19  And He did not let him, but He *said to him, “Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.”
5:20  And he went away and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.
5:21  When Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and He stayed by the seashore.
5:22  And one of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, *came, and upon seeing Him, *fell at His feet
5:23  and *pleaded with Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and lay Your hands on her, so that she will get well and live.”
5:24  And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him.
5:25  A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years,
5:26  and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but instead had become worse—
5:27  after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.
5:28  For she had been saying to herself, “If I just touch His garments, I will get well.”
5:29  And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.
5:30  And immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that power from Him had gone out, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?”
5:31  And His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”
5:32  And He looked around to see the woman who had done this.
5:33  But the woman, fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.
5:34  And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be cured of your disease.”
5:35  While He was still speaking, people *came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why bother the Teacher further?”
5:36  But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, *said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid, only believe.”
5:37  And He allowed no one to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
5:38  They *came to the house of the synagogue official, and He *saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing.
5:39  And after entering, He *said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child has not died, but is asleep.”
5:40  And they began laughing at Him. But putting them all outside, He *took along the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and *entered the room where the child was in bed.
5:41  And taking the child by the hand, He *said to her, “Talitha, kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!” ).
5:42  And immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astonished.
5:43  And He gave them strict orders that no one was to know about this, and He told them to have something given her to eat.
