Mark 5

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

2 And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.

3 He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;

4 Because he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.

5 And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6 And when he saw Jesus from far off, he went quickly to him and gave him worship;

7 And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.

8 For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

9 And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.

10 And he made strong prayers to him not to send them away out of the country.

11 Now on the mountain side there was a great herd of pigs getting their food.

12 And they said to him, Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.

13 And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.

14 And their keepers went running and gave an account of it in the town and in the country. And people came to see what had taken place.

15 And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.

16 And those who had seen it gave them an account of what had been done to him who had the evil spirits, and of the fate of the pigs.

17 And they made a request to him to go out of their country.

18 And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.

19 And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.

20 And he went on his way, and made public in the country of Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men were full of wonder.

21 And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.

22 And one of the rulers of the Synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and seeing him, went down at his feet,

23 And made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.

24 And he went with him; and a great number of people went after him, and came round him.

25 And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,

26 And had undergone much at the hands of a number of medical men, and had given all she had, and was no better, but even worse,

27 When she had news of the things which Jesus did, went among the people coming after him, and put her hand on his robe.

28 For she said, If I may only put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.

29 And straight away the fountain of her blood was stopped, and she had a feeling in her body that her disease had gone and she was well.

30 And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?

31 And his disciples said to him, You see the people round you on every side, and you say, Who was touching me?

32 And on his looking round to see her who had done this thing,

33 The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.

34 And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be free from your disease.

35 And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?

36 But Jesus, giving no attention to their words, said to the ruler of the Synagogue, Have no fear, only have faith.

37 And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

38 And they came to the house of the ruler of the Synagogue; and he saw people running this way and that, and weeping and crying loudly.

39 And when he had gone in, he said to them, Why are you making such a noise and weeping? The child is not dead, but sleeping.

40 And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

41 And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.

42 And the young girl got up straight away, and was walking about; she being twelve years old. And they were overcome with wonder.

43 And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.

New International Version NIV

1 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.

2 When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him.

3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.

4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him.

5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him.

7 He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!”

8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”

9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.

11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside.

12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.”

13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

16 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well.

17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.

18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him.

19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”

20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.

22 Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.

23 He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.”

24 So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him.

25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years.

26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.

27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,

28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.”

29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.

30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”

32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.

33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth.

34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”

36 Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.

38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.

39 He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.”

40 But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.

41 He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).

42 Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.

43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.
