Mark 5

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.

New Century Version NCV

1 Jesus and his followers went to the other side of the lake to the area of the Gerasene people.

2 When Jesus got out of the boat, instantly a man with an evil spirit came to him from the burial caves.

3 This man lived in the caves, and no one could tie him up, not even with a chain.

4 Many times people had used chains to tie the man's hands and feet, but he always broke them off. No one was strong enough to control him.

5 Day and night he would wander around the burial caves and on the hills, screaming and cutting himself with stones.

6 While Jesus was still far away, the man saw him, ran to him, and fell down before him.

7 The man shouted in a loud voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I command you in God's name not to torture me!"

8 He said this because Jesus was saying to him, "You evil spirit, come out of the man."

9 Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He answered, "My name is Legion, because we are many spirits."

10 He begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of that area.

11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on a hill near there.

12 The demons begged Jesus, "Send us into the pigs; let us go into them."

13 So Jesus allowed them to do this. The evil spirits left the man and went into the pigs. Then the herd of pigs -- about two thousand of them -- rushed down the hill into the lake and were drowned.

14 The herdsmen ran away and went to the town and to the countryside, telling everyone about this. So people went out to see what had happened.

15 They came to Jesus and saw the man who used to have the many evil spirits, sitting, clothed, and in his right mind. And they were frightened.

16 The people who saw this told the others what had happened to the man who had the demons living in him, and they told about the pigs.

17 Then the people began to beg Jesus to leave their area.

18 As Jesus was getting back into the boat, the man who was freed from the demons begged to go with him.

19 But Jesus would not let him. He said, "Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how he has had mercy on you."

20 So the man left and began to tell the people in the Ten Townsn about what Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

21 When Jesus went in the boat back to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him there.

22 A leader of the synagogue, named Jairus, came there, saw Jesus, and fell at his feet.

23 He begged Jesus, saying again and again, "My daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so she will be healed and will live."

24 So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed Jesus and pushed very close around him.

25 Among them was a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years.

26 She had suffered very much from many doctors and had spent all the money she had, but instead of improving, she was getting worse.

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

28 She thought, "If I can just touch his clothes, I will be healed."

29 Instantly her bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed from her disease.

30 At once Jesus felt power go out from him. So he turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

31 His followers said, "Look at how many people are pushing against you! And you ask, 'Who touched me?'"

32 But Jesus continued looking around to see who had touched him.

33 The woman, knowing that she was healed, came and fell at Jesus' feet. Shaking with fear, she told him the whole truth.

34 Jesus said to her, "Dear woman, you are made well because you believed. Go in peace; be healed of your disease."

35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of the synagogue leader. They said, "Your daughter is dead. There is no need to bother the teacher anymore."

36 But Jesus paid no attention to what they said. He told the synagogue leader, "Don't be afraid; just believe."

37 Jesus let only Peter, James, and John the brother of James go with him.

38 When they came to the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus found many people there making lots of noise and crying loudly.

39 Jesus entered the house and said to them, "Why are you crying and making so much noise? The child is not dead, only asleep."

40 But they laughed at him. So, after throwing them out of the house, Jesus took the child's father and mother and his three followers into the room where the child was.

41 Taking hold of the girl's hand, he said to her, "Talitha, koum!" (This means, "Young girl, I tell you to stand up!")

42 At once the girl stood right up and began walking. (She was twelve years old.) Everyone was completely amazed.

43 Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell people about this. Then he told them to give the girl something to eat.
