Luke 8
1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went
throughout every city and village, preaching and
shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and
the twelve were with him,
2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil
spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out
of whom went seven devils,
3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and
Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him
of their substance.
4 And when much people were gathered together, and
were come to him out of every city, he spake by a
parable:
5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed,
some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down,
and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was
sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked
moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang
up with it, and choked it.
8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and
bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these
things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear.
9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might
this parable be?
10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in
parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing
they might not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of
God.
12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then
cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of
their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear,
receive the word with joy; and these have no root,
which for a while believe, and in time of temptation
fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which,
when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with
cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and
bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an
honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep
it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it
with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth
it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see
the light.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made
manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be
known and come abroad.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever
hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not,
from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to
have.
19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and
could not come at him for the press.
20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy
mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to
see thee.
21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and
my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and
do it.
22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went
into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto
them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake.
And they launched forth.
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came
down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were
filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying,
Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked
the wind and the raging of the water: and they
ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And
they being afraid wondered, saying one to another,
What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even
the winds and water, and they obey him.
26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes,
which is over against Galilee.
27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out
of the city a certain man, which had devils long
time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any
house, but in the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down
before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I
to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I
beseech thee, torment me not.
29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come
out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and
he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he
brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the
wilderness.)
30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And
he said, Legion: because many devils were entered
into him.
31 And they besought him that he would not command
them to go out into the deep.
32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding
on the mountain: and they besought him that he would
suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered
into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a
steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they
fled, and went and told it in the city and in the
country.
35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came
to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils
were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed,
and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 They also which saw it told them by what means he
that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the
Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from
them; for they were taken with great fear: and he
went up into the ship, and returned back again.
38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed
besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus
sent him away, saying,
39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great
things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way,
and published throughout the whole city how great
things Jesus had done unto him.
40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was
returned, the people gladly received him: for they
were all waiting for him.
41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he
was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at
Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into
his house:
42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years
of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the
people thronged him.
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years,
which had spent all her living upon physicians,
neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his
garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied,
Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the
multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest
thou, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I
perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she
came trembling, and falling down before him, she
declared unto him before all the people for what
cause she had touched him, and how she was healed
immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good
comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the
ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy
daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying,
Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no
man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and
the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep
not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she
was dead.
54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand,
and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit came again, and she arose
straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged
them that they should tell no man what was done.
