Mark 5

English Standard Version ESV

1 They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes.

2 And when Jesus had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit.

3 He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain,

4 for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him.

5 Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him.

7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me. ”

8 For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit! ”

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

10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country.

11 Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside,

12 and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them. ”

13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea.

14 The herdsmen fled and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened.

15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.

16 And those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and to the pigs.

17 And they began to beg Jesus to depart from their region.

18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him.

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

20 And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled.

21 And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea.

22 Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet

23 and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live. ”

24 And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him.

25 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years,

26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse.

27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.

28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well. ”

29 And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments? ”

31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me? ’”

32 And he looked around to see who had done it.

33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.

34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease. ”

35 While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler’s house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further? ”

36 But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe. ”

37 And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

38 They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly.

39 And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping. ”

40 And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was.

41 Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi, ”which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise. ”

42 And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.

43 And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.

Common English Bible CEB

1 Jesus and his disciples came to the other side of the lake, to the region of the Gerasenes.

2 As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, a man possessed by an evil spirit came out of the tombs.

3 This man lived among the tombs, and no one was ever strong enough to restrain him, even with a chain.

4 He had been secured many times with leg irons and chains, but he broke the chains and smashed the leg irons. No one was tough enough to control him.

5 Night and day in the tombs and the hills, he would howl and cut himself with stones.

6 When he saw Jesus from far away, he ran and knelt before him,

7 shouting, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won't torture me!"

8 He said this because Jesus had already commanded him, "Unclean spirit, come out of the man!"

9 Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He responded, "Legion is my name, because we are many."

10 They pleaded with Jesus not to send them out of that region.

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

12 "Send us into the pigs!" they begged. "Let us go into the pigs!"

13 Jesus gave them permission, so the unclean spirits left the man and went into the pigs. Then the herd of about two thousand pigs rushed down the cliff into the lake and drowned.

14 Those who tended the pigs ran away and told the story in the city and in the countryside. People came to see what had happened.

15 They came to Jesus and saw the man who used to be demon-possessed. They saw the very man who had been filled with many demons sitting there fully dressed and completely sane, and they were filled with awe.

16 Those who had actually seen what had happened to the demon-possessed man told the others about the pigs.

17 Then they pleaded with Jesus to leave their region.

18 While he was climbing into the boat, the one who had been demon-possessed pleaded with Jesus to let him come along as one of his disciples.

19 But Jesus wouldn't allow it. "Go home to your own people," Jesus said, "and tell them what the Lord has done for you and how he has shown you mercy."

20 The man went away and began to proclaim in the Ten Cities all that Jesus had done for him, and everyone was amazed.

21 Jesus crossed the lake again, and on the other side a large crowd gathered around him on the shore.

22 Jairus, one of the synagogue leaders, came forward. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet

23 and pleaded with him, "My daughter is about to die. Please, come and place your hands on her so that she can be healed and live."

24 So Jesus went with him. A swarm of people were following Jesus, crowding in on him.

25 A woman was there who had been bleeding for twelve years.

26 She had suffered a lot under the care of many doctors, and had spent everything she had without getting any better. In fact, she had gotten worse.

27 Because she had heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes.

28 She was thinking, If I can just touch his clothes, I'll be healed.

29 Her bleeding stopped immediately, and she sensed in her body that her illness had been healed.

30 At that very moment, Jesus recognized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched my clothes?"

31 His disciples said to him, "Don't you see the crowd pressing against you? Yet you ask, ‘Who touched me?'"

32 But Jesus looked around carefully to see who had done it.

33 The woman, full of fear and trembling, came forward. Knowing what had happened to her, she fell down in front of Jesus and told him the whole truth.

34 He responded, "Daughter, your faith has healed you; go in peace, healed from your disease."

35 While Jesus was still speaking with her, messengers came from the synagogue leader's house, saying to Jairus, "Your daughter has died. Why bother the teacher any longer?"

36 But Jesus overheard their report and said to the synagogue leader, "Don't be afraid; just keep trusting."

37 He didn't allow anyone to follow him except Peter, James, and John, James' brother.

38 They came to the synagogue leader's house, and he saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.

39 He went in and said to them, "What's all this commotion and crying about? The child isn't dead. She's only sleeping."

40 They laughed at him, but he threw them all out. Then, taking the child's parents and his disciples with him, he went to the room where the child was.

41 Taking her hand, he said to her, "Talitha koum," which means, "Young woman, get up."

42 Suddenly the young woman got up and began to walk around. She was 12 years old. They were shocked!

43 He gave them strict orders that no one should know what had happened. Then he told them to give her something to eat.
