Dual Panel1And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.
2And [as] he was getting out of the boat, immediately from the tombs a man with an unclean spirit went to meet him,
3who _lived_ among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him any longer, not even with a chain,
4because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the shackles had been shattered. And no one was strong [enough] to subdue him.
5And during every night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6And [when he] saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and knelt down before him.
7And crying out with a loud voice he said, "_What have I to do with you_ , Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore you by God, do not torment me!
8(For he was saying to him, "Come out of the man, unclean spirit!")
9And he was asking him "_What is your name_?" And he said to him, "My name [is] Legion, because we are many.
10And he was imploring him many [times] that he would not send them out of the region.
11Now a large herd of pigs was there at the hill feeding,
12and they implored him, saying, "Send us to the pigs so that we may enter into them.
13And he permitted them. And the unclean spirits came out [and] entered into the pigs, and the herd—about two thousand—rushed headlong down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea.
14And their herdsmen fled and reported [it] in the town and in the countryside, and they came to see what it was that had happened.
15And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man sitting [there] clothed and in his right mind—the one who had had the legion—and they were afraid.
16And those who had seen [it] described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man, and about the pigs.
17And they began to urge him to depart from their region.
18And [as] he was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed began to implore him that he could go with him.
19And he did not permit him, but said to him, "Go to your home to your [people] and tell them all that the Lord has done for you, and [that] he has had mercy on you.
20And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him, and they were all astonished.
21And [after] Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered to him, and he was beside the sea.
22And one of the rulers of the synagogue came—Jairus by name—and [when he] saw him, he fell down at his feet.
23And he was imploring him many [times], saying, "My little daughter _is at the point of death_! Come, lay your hands on her, so that she will get well and will live.
24And he went with him, and a large crowd was following him and pressing around him.
25And [there was] a woman who was _suffering from hemorrhages_ twelve years.
26And she had endured many [things] under many physicians, and had spent _all that she had_ and had received no [help] at all, but instead _became worse_.
27[When she] heard about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind [him] [and] touched his cloak,
28for she was saying, "If I touch just his clothing, I will be healed!
29And immediately her _hemorrhage stopped_ and she realized in her body that she was healed of her suffering.
30And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself [that] power had gone out from himself, turned around in the crowd [and] said, "Who touched my clothing?
31And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing upon you, and you say ‘Who touched me?’
32And he was looking around to see the one who had done this.
33So the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.
34But he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be well from your suffering.
35[While] he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler’s [house] saying, "Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher further?
36But Jesus, ignoring _what was said_, told the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid—only believe!
37And he did not allow anyone to follow along with him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James.
38And they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue and saw a commotion, and [people] weeping and wailing loudly.
39And [when he] entered, he said to them, "Why are you agitated and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping.
40And they began laughing at him. But he sent [them] all out [and] took along the father and mother of the child, and those [who were] with him, and went in to where the child was.
41And taking hold of the child’s hand, he said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which is translated, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!"),
42and immediately the girl stood up and began walking around (for she was twelve years old). And _immediately they were utterly and completely astonished_.
43And he commanded them strictly that no one should learn of this, and said to give her [something] to eat.
