8:1 Soon
afterward
he
went
on
through
cities
and
villages,
proclaiming
and
bringing
the
good
news
of
the
kingdom
of
God.
And
the
twelve
were
with
him,
8:2 and
also
some
women
who
had
been
healed
of
evil
spirits
and
infirmities:
Mary,
called
Magdalene,
from
whom
seven
demons
had
gone
out,
8:3 and
Joanna,
the
wife
of
Chuza,
Herod's
household
manager,
and
Susanna,
and
many
others,
who
provided
for
them
out
of
their
means.
8:4 And
when
a
great
crowd
was
gathering
and
people
from
town
after
town
came
to
him,
he
said
in
a
parable:
8:5 "A
sower
went
out
to
sow
his
seed.
And
as
he
sowed,
some
fell
along
the
path
and
was
trampled
underfoot,
and
the
birds
of
the
air
devoured
it.
8:6 And
some
fell
on
the
rock,
and
as
it
grew
up,
it
withered
away,
because
it
had
no
moisture.
8:7 And
some
fell
among
thorns,
and
the
thorns
grew
up
with
it
and
choked
it.
8:8 And
some
fell
into
good
soil
and
grew
and
yielded
a
hundredfold."
As
he
said
these
things,
he
called
out,
"He
who
has
ears
to
hear,
let
him
hear."
8:9 And
when
his
disciples
asked
him
what
this
parable
meant,
8:10 he
said,
"To
you
it
has
been
given
to
know
the
secrets
of
the
kingdom
of
God,
but
for
others
they
are
in
parables,
so
that
'seeing
they
may
not
see,
and
hearing
they
may
not
understand.'
8:11 Now
the
parable
is
this:
The
seed
is
the
word
of
God.
8:12 The
ones
along
the
path
are
those
who
have
heard;
then
the
devil
comes
and
takes
away
the
word
from
their
hearts,
so
that
they
may
not
believe
and
be
saved.
8:13 And
the
ones
on
the
rock
are
those
who,
when
they
hear
the
word,
receive
it
with
joy.
But
these
have
no
root;
they
believe
for
a
while,
and
in
time
of
testing
fall
away.
8:14 And
as
for
what
fell
among
the
thorns,
they
are
those
who
hear,
but
as
they
go
on
their
way
they
are
choked
by
the
cares
and
riches
and
pleasures
of
life,
and
their
fruit
does
not
mature.
8:15 As
for
that
in
the
good
soil,
they
are
those
who,
hearing
the
word,
hold
it
fast
in
an
honest
and
good
heart,
and
bear
fruit
with
patience.
8:16 "No
one
after
lighting
a
lamp
covers
it
with
a
jar
or
puts
it
under
a
bed,
but
puts
it
on
a
stand,
so
that
those
who
enter
may
see
the
light.
8:17 For
nothing
is
hidden
that
will
not
be
made
manifest,
nor
is
anything
secret
that
will
not
be
known
and
come
to
light.
8:18 Take
care
then
how
you
hear,
for
to
the
one
who
has,
more
will
be
given,
and
from
the
one
who
has
not,
even
what
he
thinks
that
he
has
will
be
taken
away."
8:19 Then
his
mother
and
his
brothers
came
to
him,
but
they
could
not
reach
him
because
of
the
crowd.
8:20 And
he
was
told,
"Your
mother
and
your
brothers
are
standing
outside,
desiring
to
see
you."
8:21 But
he
answered
them,
"My
mother
and
my
brothers
are
those
who
hear
the
word
of
God
and
do
it."
8:22 One
day
he
got
into
a
boat
with
his
disciples,
and
he
said
to
them,
"Let
us
go
across
to
the
other
side
of
the
lake."
So
they
set
out,
8:23 and
as
they
sailed
he
fell
asleep.
And
a
windstorm
came
down
on
the
lake,
and
they
were
filling
with
water
and
were
in
danger.
8:24 And
they
went
and
woke
him,
saying,
"Master,
Master,
we
are
perishing!"
And
he
awoke
and
rebuked
the
wind
and
the
raging
waves,
and
they
ceased,
and
there
was
a
calm.
8:25 He
said
to
them,
"Where
is
your
faith"
And
they
were
afraid,
and
they
marveled,
saying
to
one
another,
"Who
then
is
this,
that
he
commands
even
winds
and
water,
and
they
obey
him"
8:26 Then
they
sailed
to
the
country
of
the
Gerasenes,
which
is
opposite
Galilee.
8:27 When
Jesus
had
stepped
out
on
land,
there
met
him
a
man
from
the
city
who
had
demons.
For
a
long
time
he
had
worn
no
clothes,
and
he
had
not
lived
in
a
house
but
among
the
tombs.
8:28 When
he
saw
Jesus,
he
cried
out
and
fell
down
before
him
and
said
with
a
loud
voice,
"What
have
you
to
do
with
me,
Jesus,
Son
of
the
Most
High
God
I
beg
you,
do
not
torment
me."
8:29 For
he
had
commanded
the
unclean
spirit
to
come
out
of
the
man.
(For
many
a
time
it
had
seized
him.
He
was
kept
under
guard
and
bound
with
chains
and
shackles,
but
he
would
break
the
bonds
and
be
driven
by
the
demon
into
the
desert.)
8:30 Jesus
then
asked
him,
"What
is
your
name"
And
he
said,
"Legion,"
for
many
demons
had
entered
him.
8:31 And
they
begged
him
not
to
command
them
to
depart
into
the
abyss.
8:32 Now
a
large
herd
of
pigs
was
feeding
there
on
the
hillside,
and
they
begged
him
to
let
them
enter
these.
So
he
gave
them
permission.
8:33 Then
the
demons
came
out
of
the
man
and
entered
the
pigs,
and
the
herd
rushed
down
the
steep
bank
into
the
lake
and
were
drowned.
8:34 When
the
herdsmen
saw
what
had
happened,
they
fled
and
told
it
in
the
city
and
in
the
country.
8:35 Then
people
went
out
to
see
what
had
happened,
and
they
came
to
Jesus
and
found
the
man
from
whom
the
demons
had
gone,
sitting
at
the
feet
of
Jesus,
clothed
and
in
his
right
mind,
and
they
were
afraid.
8:36 And
those
who
had
seen
it
told
them
how
the
demon-possessed
man
had
been
healed.
8:37 Then
all
the
people
of
the
surrounding
country
of
the
Gerasenes
asked
him
to
depart
from
them,
for
they
were
seized
with
great
fear.
So
he
got
into
the
boat
and
returned.
8:38 The
man
from
whom
the
demons
had
gone
begged
that
he
might
be
with
him,
but
Jesus
sent
him
away,
saying,
8:39 "Return
to
your
home,
and
declare
how
much
God
has
done
for
you."
And
he
went
away,
proclaiming
throughout
the
whole
city
how
much
Jesus
had
done
for
him.
8:40 Now
when
Jesus
returned,
the
crowd
welcomed
him,
for
they
were
all
waiting
for
him.
8:41 And
there
came
a
man
named
Jairus,
who
was
a
ruler
of
the
synagogue.
And
falling
at
Jesus'
feet,
he
implored
him
to
come
to
his
house,
8:42 for
he
had
an
only
daughter,
about
twelve
years
of
age,
and
she
was
dying.
As
Jesus
went,
the
people
pressed
around
him.
8:43 And
there
was
a
woman
who
had
had
a
discharge
of
blood
for
twelve
years,
and
though
she
had
spent
all
her
living
on
physicians,
she
could
not
be
healed
by
anyone.
8:44 She
came
up
behind
him
and
touched
the
fringe
of
his
garment,
and
immediately
her
discharge
of
blood
ceased.
8:45 And
Jesus
said,
"Who
was
it
that
touched
me"
When
all
denied
it,
Peter
said,
"Master,
the
crowds
surround
you
and
are
pressing
in
on
you!"
8:46 But
Jesus
said,
"Someone
touched
me,
for
I
perceive
that
power
has
gone
out
from
me."
8:47 And
when
the
woman
saw
that
she
was
not
hidden,
she
came
trembling,
and
falling
down
before
him
declared
in
the
presence
of
all
the
people
why
she
had
touched
him,
and
how
she
had
been
immediately
healed.
8:48 And
he
said
to
her,
"Daughter,
your
faith
has
made
you
well;
go
in
peace."
8:49 While
he
was
still
speaking,
someone
from
the
ruler's
house
came
and
said,
"Your
daughter
is
dead;
do
not
trouble
the
Teacher
any
more."
8:50 But
Jesus
on
hearing
this
answered
him,
"Do
not
fear;
only
believe,
and
she
will
be
well."
8:51 And
when
he
came
to
the
house,
he
allowed
no
one
to
enter
with
him,
except
Peter
and
John
and
James,
and
the
father
and
mother
of
the
child.
8:52 And
all
were
weeping
and
mourning
for
her,
but
he
said,
"Do
not
weep,
for
she
is
not
dead
but
sleeping."
8:53 And
they
laughed
at
him,
knowing
that
she
was
dead.
8:54 But
taking
her
by
the
hand
he
called,
saying,
"Child,
arise."
8:55 And
her
spirit
returned,
and
she
got
up
at
once.
And
he
directed
that
something
should
be
given
her
to
eat.
8:56 And
her
parents
were
amazed,
but
he
charged
them
to
tell
no
one
what
had
happened.
