1And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,stylus···2And certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven demons,stylus···3And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him of their substance.stylus···4And when many people were gathered together, and had come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:stylus···5A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.stylus···6And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.stylus···7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.stylus···8And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.stylus···9And his disciples asked him, saying, What doth this parable mean?stylus···10And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.stylus···11Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.stylus···12Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.stylus···13They on the rock are they, who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.stylus···14And that which fell among thorns are they, who, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.stylus···15But that on the good ground are they, who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.stylus···16No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a lampstand, that they who enter in may see the light.stylus···17For nothing is secret, that shall not become evident; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come to light.stylus···18Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whoever hath, to him shall be given; and whoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.stylus···19Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come near to him for the crowd.stylus···20And it was told to him by certain who said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand outside, desiring to see thee.stylus···21And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are these who hear the word of God, and do it.stylus···22Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a boat with his disciples: and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.stylus···23But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.stylus···24And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.stylus···25And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid marvelled, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.stylus···26And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.stylus···27And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, who had demons a long time, and wore no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.stylus···28When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.stylus···29(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For often it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he broke the bands, and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.)stylus···30And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many demons had entered into him.stylus···31And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.stylus···32And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would allow them to enter into them. And he permitted them.stylus···33Then the demons went out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.stylus···34When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.stylus···35Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.stylus···36They also who saw it told them by what means he that was possessed by the demons was healed.stylus···37Then the whole multitude of the country of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear: and he went into the boat, and returned back again.stylus···38Now the man out of whom the demons had departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,stylus···39Return to thy own house, and show what great things God hath done to thee. And he went away, and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done to him.stylus···40And it came to pass, that, when Jesus had returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.stylus···41And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him that he would come into his house:stylus···42For he had one daughter only, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he was going the people thronged him.stylus···43And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed by any,stylus···44Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stopped.stylus···45And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?stylus···46And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that power hath gone out of me.stylus···47And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared to him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.stylus···48And he said to her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace.stylus···49While he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.stylus···50But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made well.stylus···51And when he came into the house, he allowed no man to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.stylus···52And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.stylus···53And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.stylus···54And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.stylus···55And her spirit came again, and she arose immediately: and he commanded to give her something to eat.stylus···56And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.stylus···
