⥃The Demons and the Pigs ^{[ Matthew 8:28–34 † Luke 8:26–39 ]}

[1] And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.² [2] And when he was come out³ of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man⁴ with⁵ an unclean spirit, [3] Who had [his] dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:⁶ [4] Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any [man] tame⁷ him. [5] And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying⁸, and cutting himself with stones. [6] But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran⁹ and worshipped him, [7] And cried with a loud voice, and said, What¹⁰ have I to do with thee, Jesus, [thou] Son¹¹ of the most high God? I adjure¹² thee by God, that¹³ thou torment me not. [8] For he said unto him, Come out of the man, [thou] unclean spirit.¹⁴ [9] And he asked him, What¹⁵ [is] thy name? And he answered, saying, My name [is] Legion¹⁶: for we are many. [10] And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.¹⁷ [11] Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd¹⁸ of swine feeding. [12] And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.¹⁹ [13] And forthwith Jesus gave²⁰ them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd²¹ ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. [14] And they that fed the swine fled, and told [it] in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.²² [15] And they come to Jesus, and see him that²³ was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they²⁴ were afraid. [16] And they that saw [it] told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and [also] concerning the swine. [17] And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.²⁵ [18] And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed²⁶ him that he might be with him. [19] Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home²⁷ to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. [20] And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis²⁸ how great things Jesus had done for him: and all [men] did marvel.

⥃The Healing Touch of Jesus ^{[ Matthew 9:18–26 † Luke 8:40–56 ]}

[21] And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.²⁹ [22] And, behold, there³⁰ cometh one of the rulers³¹ of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell³² at his feet, [23] And besought³³ him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: [I pray thee], come and lay thy hands³⁴ on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. [24] And [Jesus] went³⁵ with him; and much people followed him, and thronged³⁶ him. [25] And a certain³⁷ woman, which had an issue³⁸ of blood twelve³⁹ years, [26] And had suffered⁴⁰ many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing⁴¹ bettered, but rather grew worse, [27] When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched⁴² his garment. [28] For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. [29] And straightway⁴³ the fountain⁴⁴ of her blood was dried up; and she felt in [her] body that she was healed of that plague⁴⁵. [30] And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue⁴⁶ had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? [31] And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest⁴⁷ the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? [32] And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. [33] But the woman⁴⁸ fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told⁴⁹ him all the truth. [34] And he said unto her, Daughter⁵⁰, thy faith⁵¹ hath made thee whole; go⁵² in peace, and be whole of thy plague. [35] While he yet spake, there came⁵³ from the ruler of the synagogue’s [house certain] which said, Thy daughter⁵⁴ is dead: why⁵⁵ troublest thou the Master⁵⁶ any further? [36] As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only⁵⁷ believe. [37] And he suffered⁵⁸ no man to follow him, save⁵⁹ Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. [38] And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth⁶⁰ the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. [39] And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead⁶¹, but sleepeth. [40] And they⁶² laughed him to scorn. But when⁶³ he had put them all out, he taketh⁶⁴ the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. [41] And he took⁶⁵ the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi⁶⁶; which is, being interpreted, Damsel⁶⁷, I say unto thee, arise. [42] And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was [of the age] of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.⁶⁸ [43] And he charged⁶⁹ them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded⁷⁰ that something should be given⁷¹ her to eat.
