NEW JERUSALEMDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 They reached the territory of the Gerasenes on the other side of the lake,1 And they came over the strait of the sea into the country of the Gerasens.
2 and when he disembarked, a man with an unclean spirit at once came out from the tombs towards him.2 And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the monuments a man with an unclean spirit,
3 The man lived in the tombs and no one could secure him any more, even with a chain,3 Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains.
4 because he had often been secured with fetters and chains but had snapped the chains and broken thefetters, and no one had the strength to control him.4 For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him.
5 All night and al day, among the tombs and in the mountains, he would howl and gash himself withstones.5 And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.
6 Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran up and fel at his feet6 And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him.
7 and shouted at the top of his voice, 'What do you want with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? InGod's name do not torture me!'7 And crying with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus the Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not.
8 For Jesus had been saying to him, 'Come out of the man, unclean spirit.'8 For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
9 Then he asked, 'What is your name?' He answered, 'My name is Legion, for there are many of us.'9 And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is Legion, for we are many.
10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the district.10 And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of the country.
11 Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding,11 And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine, feeding.
12 and the unclean spirits begged him, 'Send us to the pigs, let us go into them.'12 And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 So he gave them leave. With that, the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd ofabout two thousand pigs charged down the cliff into the lake, and there they were drowned.13 And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits going out, entered into the swine: and the herd with great violence was carried headlong into the sea, being about two thousand, and were stifled in the sea.
14 The men looking after them ran off and told their story in the city and in the country round about; andthe people came to see what had real y happened.14 And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the fields. And they went out to see what was done:
15 They came to Jesus and saw the demoniac sitting there -- the man who had had the legion in him --properly dressed and in his ful senses, and they were afraid.15 And they came to Jesus, and they see him that was troubled with the devil, sitting, clothed, and well in his wits, and they were afraid.
16 And those who had witnessed it reported what had happened to the demoniac and what had becomeof the pigs.16 And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine.
17 Then they began to implore Jesus to leave their neighbourhood.17 And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts.
18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed begged to be al owed to stay withhim.18 And when he went up into the ship, he that had been troubled with the devil, began to beseech him that he might be with him.
19 Jesus would not let him but said to him, 'Go home to your people and tel them al that the Lord in hismercy has done for you.'19 And he admitted him not, but saith to him: Go into thy house to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had mercy on thee.
20 So the man went off and proceeded to proclaim in the Decapolis al that Jesus had done for him. Andeveryone was amazed.20 And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men wondered.
21 When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered round him and hestayed by the lake.21 And when Jesus had passed again in the ship over the strait, a great multitude assembled together unto him, and he was nigh unto the sea.
22 Then the president of the synagogue came up, named Jairus, and seeing him, fel at his feet22 And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue named Jairus: and seeing him, falleth down at his feet.
23 and begged him earnestly, saying, 'My little daughter is desperately sick. Do come and lay your handson her that she may be saved and may live.'23 And he besought him much, saying: My daughter is at the point of death, come, lay thy hand upon her, that she may be safe, and may live.
24 Jesus went with him and a large crowd followed him; they were pressing al round him.24 And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.
25 Now there was a woman who had suffered from a haemorrhage for twelve years;25 And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years,
26 after long and painful treatment under various doctors, she had spent al she had without being anythe better for it; in fact, she was getting worse.26 And had suffered many things from many physicians; and had spent all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse,
27 She had heard about Jesus, and she came up through the crowd and touched his cloak from behind,thinking,27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment.
28 'If I can just touch his clothes, I shal be saved.'28 For she said: If I shall touch but his garment, I shall be whole.
29 And at once the source of the bleeding dried up, and she felt in herself that she was cured of hercomplaint.29 And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil.
30 And at once aware of the power that had gone out from him, Jesus turned round in the crowd andsaid, 'Who touched my clothes?'30 And immediately Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had proceeded from him, turning to the multitude, said: Who hath touched my garments?
31 His disciples said to him, 'You see how the crowd is pressing round you; how can you ask, "Whotouched me?" '31 And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou who hath touched me?
32 But he continued to look al round to see who had done it.32 And he looked about to see her who had done this.
33 Then the woman came forward, frightened and trembling because she knew what had happened toher, and she fel at his feet and told him the whole truth.33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 'My daughter,' he said, 'your faith has restored you to health; go in peace and be free of yourcomplaint.'34 And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be thou whole of thy disease.
35 While he was stil speaking some people arrived from the house of the president of the synagogue tosay, 'Your daughter is dead; why put the Master to any further trouble?'35 While he was yet speaking, some come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying: Thy daughter is dead: why dost thou trouble the master any further?
36 But Jesus overheard what they said and he said to the president of the synagogue, 'Do not be afraid;only have faith.'36 But Jesus having heard the word that was spoken, saith to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not, only believe.
37 And he allowed no one to go with him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.37 And he admitted not any man to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 So they came to the house of the president of the synagogue, and Jesus noticed al the commotion,with people weeping and wailing unrestrainedly.38 And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing much.
39 He went in and said to them, 'Why all this commotion and crying? The child is not dead, but asleep.'39 And going in, he saith to them: Why make you this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
40 But they ridiculed him. So he turned them al out and, taking with him the child's father and mother andhis own companions, he went into the place where the child lay.40 And they laughed him to scorn. But he having put them all out, taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
41 And taking the child by the hand he said to her, 'Talitha kum!' which means, 'Little girl, I tel you to getup.'41 And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise.
42 The little girl got up at once and began to walk about, for she was twelve years old. At once they wereovercome with astonishment,42 And immediately the damsel rose up, and walked: and she was twelve years old: and they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43 and he gave them strict orders not to let anyone know about it, and told them to give her something toeat.43 And he charged them strictly that no man should know it: and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
