1. Afterward he journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve
|
1. And G2532 it came to pass G1096 afterward G1722 G2517 , that G2532 he G846 went throughout G1353 every city G2596 G4172 and G2532 village G2968 , preaching G2784 and G2532 showing the glad tidings G2097 of the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 : and G2532 the G3588 twelve G1427 were with G4862 him G846 ,
|
|
2. and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
|
2. And G2532 certain G5100 women G1135 , which G3739 had been G2258 healed G2323 of G575 evil G4190 spirits G4151 and G2532 infirmities G769 , Mary G3137 called G2564 Magdalene G3094 , out of G575 whom G3739 went G1831 seven G2033 devils G1140 ,
|
|
3. Joanna, the wife of Herod's steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources.
|
3. And G2532 Joanna G2489 the wife G1135 of Chuza G5529 Herod G2264 's steward G2012 , and G2532 Susanna G4677 , and G2532 many G4183 others G2087 , which G3748 ministered G1247 unto him G846 of G575 their G846 substance G5224 .
|
|
4. When a large crowd gathered, with people from one town after another journeying to him, he spoke in a parable.
|
4. And G1161 when much G4183 people G3793 were gathered together G4896 , and G2532 were come G1975 to G4314 him G846 out of every city G2596 G4172 , he spake G2036 by G1223 a parable G3850 :
|
|
5. "A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path and was trampled, and the birds of the sky ate it up.
|
5. A sower G4687 went out G1831 to sow G4687 his G848 seed G4703 : and G2532 as he G846 sowed G4687 , some G3739 G3303 fell G4098 by G3844 the G3588 way side G3598 ; and G2532 it was trodden down G2662 , and G2532 the G3588 fowls G4071 of the G3588 air G3772 devoured G2719 it G846 .
|
|
6. Some seed fell on rocky ground, and when it grew, it withered for lack of moisture.
|
6. And G2532 some G2087 fell G4098 upon G1909 a rock G4073 ; and G2532 as soon as it was sprung up G5453 , it withered away G3583 , because it lacked G2192 G3361 moisture G2429 .
|
|
7. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
|
7. And G2532 some G2087 fell G4098 among G1722 G3319 thorns G173 ; and G2532 the G3588 thorns G173 sprang up with G4855 it, and choked G638 it G846 .
|
|
8. And some seed fell on good soil, and when it grew, it produced fruit a hundredfold." After saying this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear."
|
8. And G2532 other G2087 fell G4098 on G1909 good G18 ground G1093 , and G2532 sprang up G5453 , and bare G4160 fruit G2590 a hundredfold. And when he had G1542 said G3004 these things G5023 , he cried G5455 , He that hath G2192 ears G3775 to hear G191 , let him hear G191 .
|
|
9. Then his disciples asked him what the meaning of this parable might be.
|
9. And G1161 his G846 disciples G3101 asked G1905 him G846 , saying G3004 , What G5101 might this G3778 parable G3850 be G1498 ?
|
|
10. He answered, "Knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been granted to you; but to the rest, they are made known through parables so that 'they may look but not see, and hear but not understand.'
|
10. And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 , Unto you G5213 it is given G1325 to know G1097 the G3588 mysteries G3466 of the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 : but G1161 to others G3062 in G1722 parables G3850 ; that G2443 seeing G991 they might not G3361 see G991 , and G2532 hearing G191 they might not G3361 understand G4920 .
|
|
11. "This is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of God.
|
11. Now G1161 the G3588 parable G3850 is G2076 this G3778 : The G3588 seed G4703 is G2076 the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 .
|
|
12. Those on the path are the ones who have heard, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts that they may not believe and be saved.
|
12. G1161 Those G3588 by G3844 the G3588 way side G3598 are G1526 they that hear G191 ; then G1534 cometh G2064 the G3588 devil G1228 , and G2532 taketh away G142 the G3588 word G3056 out of G575 their G846 hearts G2588 , lest G3363 they should believe G4100 and be saved G4982 .
|
|
13. Those on rocky ground are the ones who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, but they have no root; they believe only for a time and fall away in time of trial.
|
13. G1161 They G3588 on G1909 the G3588 rock G4073 are they, which G3739 , when G3752 they hear G191 , receive G1209 the G3588 word G3056 with G3326 joy G5479 ; and G2532 these G3778 have G2192 no G3756 root G4491 , which G3739 for G4314 a while G2540 believe G4100 , and G2532 in G1722 time G2540 of temptation G3986 fall away G868 .
|
|
14. As for the seed that fell among thorns, they are the ones who have heard, but as they go along, they are choked by the anxieties and riches and pleasures of life, and they fail to produce mature fruit.
|
14. And G1161 that which fell G4098 among G1519 thorns G173 are G1526 they, which, when they have heard G191 , go forth G4198 , and G2532 are choked G4846 with G5259 cares G3308 and G2532 riches G4149 and G2532 pleasures G2237 of this life G979 , and G2532 bring no fruit to perfection G5052 G3756 .
|
|
15. But as for the seed that fell on rich soil, they are the ones who, when they have heard the word, embrace it with a generous and good heart, and bear fruit through perseverance.
|
15. But G1161 that G3588 on G1722 the G3588 good G2570 ground G1093 are G1526 they G3748 , which in G1722 an honest G2570 and G2532 good G18 heart G2588 , having heard G191 the G3588 word G3056 , keep G2722 it, and G2532 bring forth fruit G2592 with G1722 patience G5281 .
|
|
16. "No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light.
|
16. No man G3762 , when he hath lighted G681 a candle G3088 , covereth G2572 it G846 with a vessel G4632 , or G2228 putteth G5087 it under G5270 a bed G2825 ; but G235 setteth G2007 it on G1909 a candlestick G3087 , that G2443 they which enter in G1531 may see G991 the G3588 light G5457 .
|
|
17. For there is nothing hidden that will not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light.
|
17. For G1063 nothing G3756 is G2076 secret G2927 , that G3739 shall not G3756 be made G1096 manifest G5318 ; neither G3761 any thing hid G614 , that G3739 shall not G3756 be known G1097 and G2532 come G2064 abroad G1519 G5318 .
|
|
18. Take care, then, how you hear. To anyone who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he seems to have will be taken away."
|
18. Take heed G991 therefore G3767 how G4459 ye hear G191 : for G1063 whosoever G3739 G302 hath G2192 , to him G846 shall be given G1325 ; and G2532 whosoever G3739 G302 hath G2192 not G3361 , from G575 him G846 shall be taken G142 even G2532 that which G3739 he seemeth G1380 to have G2192 .
|
|
19. Then his mother and his brothers came to him but were unable to join him because of the crowd.
|
19. Then G1161 came G3854 to G4314 him G846 his mother G3384 and G2532 his G846 brethren G80 , and G2532 could G1410 not G3756 come at G4940 him G846 for G1223 the G3588 press G3793 .
|
|
20. He was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside and they wish to see you."
|
20. And G2532 it was told G518 him G846 by certain which said G3004 , Thy G4675 mother G3384 and G2532 thy G4675 brethren G80 stand G2476 without G1854 , desiring G2309 to see G1492 thee G4571 .
|
|
21. He said to them in reply, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it."
|
21. And G1161 he G3588 answered G611 and said G2036 unto G4314 them G846 , My G3450 mother G3384 and G2532 my G3450 brethren G80 are G1526 these G3778 which hear G191 the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 , and G2532 do G4160 it G846 .
|
|
22. One day he got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, "Let us cross to the other side of the lake." So they set sail,
|
22. Now G2532 it came to pass G1096 on G1722 a certain G3391 day G2250 , that G2532 he G846 went G1684 into G1519 a ship G4143 with G2532 his G846 disciples G3101 : and G2532 he said G2036 unto G4314 them G846 , Let us go over G1330 unto G1519 the G3588 other side G4008 of the G3588 lake G3041 . And G2532 they launched forth G321 .
|
|
23. and while they were sailing he fell asleep. A squall blew over the lake, and they were taking in water and were in danger.
|
23. But G1161 as they G846 sailed G4126 he fell asleep G879 : and G2532 there came down G2597 a storm G2978 of wind G417 on G1519 the G3588 lake G3041 ; and G2532 they were filled G4845 with water, and G2532 were in jeopardy G2793 .
|
|
24. They came and woke him saying, "Master, master, we are perishing!" He awakened, rebuked the wind and the waves, and they subsided and there was a calm.
|
24. And G1161 they came G4334 to him , and awoke G1326 him G846 , saying G3004 , Master G1988 , master G1988 , we perish G622 . Then G1161 he G3588 arose G1453 , and rebuked G2008 the G3588 wind G417 and G2532 the G3588 raging G2830 of the G3588 water G5204 : and G2532 they ceased G3973 , and G2532 there was G1096 a calm G1055 .
|
|
25. Then he asked them, "Where is your faith?" But they were filled with awe and amazed and said to one another, "Who then is this, who commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him?"
|
25. And G1161 he said G2036 unto them G846 , Where G4226 is G2076 your G5216 faith G4102 ? And G1161 they being afraid G5399 wondered G2296 , saying G3004 one to another G240 G4314 , What manner of man G5101 G686 is G2076 this G3778 ! for G3754 he commandeth G2004 even G2532 the G3588 winds G417 and G2532 water G5204 , and G2532 they obey G5219 him G846 .
|
|
26. Then they sailed to the territory of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
|
26. And G2532 they arrived G2668 at G1519 the G3588 country G5561 of the G3588 Gadarenes G1046 , which G3748 is G2076 over against G495 Galilee G1056 .
|
|
27. When he came ashore a man from the town who was possessed by demons met him. For a long time he had not worn clothes; he did not live in a house, but lived among the tombs.
|
27. And G1161 when he G846 went forth G1831 to G1909 land G1093 , there met G5221 him G846 out of G1537 the G3588 city G4172 a certain G5100 man G435 , which G3739 had G2192 devils G1140 G1537 long time G2425 G5550 , and G2532 wore G1737 no G3756 clothes G2440 , neither G2532 G3756 abode G3306 in G1722 any house G3614 , but G235 in G1722 the G3588 tombs G3418 .
|
|
28. When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him; in a loud voice he shouted, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me!"
|
28. When G1161 he saw G1492 Jesus G2424 , he cried out G349 , and G2532 fell down before G4363 him G846 , and G2532 with a loud G3173 voice G5456 said G2036 , What have I to do with thee G5101 G1698 G2532 G4671 , Jesus G2424 , thou Son G5207 of God G2316 most high G5310 ? I beseech G1189 thee G4675 , torment G928 me G3165 not G3361 .
|
|
29. For he had ordered the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (It had taken hold of him many times, and he used to be bound with chains and shackles as a restraint, but he would break his bonds and be driven by the demon into deserted places.)
|
29. ( For G1063 he had commanded G3853 the G3588 unclean G169 spirit G4151 to come G1831 out of G575 the G3588 man G444 . For G1063 oftentimes G4183 G5550 it had caught G4884 him G846 : and G2532 he was kept G5442 bound G1196 with chains G254 and G2532 in fetters G3976 ; and G2532 he broke G1284 the G3588 bands G1199 , and was driven G1643 of G5259 the G3588 devil G1142 into G1519 the G3588 wilderness G2048 .)
|
|
30. Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "Legion," because many demons had entered him.
|
30. And G1161 Jesus G2424 asked G1905 him G846 , saying G3004 , What G5101 is G2076 thy G4671 name G3686 ? And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 , Legion G3003 : because G3754 many G4183 devils G1140 were entered G1525 into G1519 him G846 .
|
|
31. And they pleaded with him not to order them to depart to the abyss.
|
31. And G2532 they besought G3870 him G846 that G2443 he would not G3361 command G2004 them G846 to go out G565 into G1519 the G3588 deep G12 .
|
|
32. A herd of many swine was feeding there on the hillside, and they pleaded with him to allow them to enter those swine; and he let them.
|
32. And G1161 there was G2258 there G1563 an herd G34 of many G2425 swine G5519 feeding G1006 on G1722 the G3588 mountain G3735 : and G2532 they besought G3870 him G846 that G2443 he would suffer G2010 them G846 to enter G1525 into G1519 them G1565 . And G2532 he suffered G2010 them G846 .
|
|
33. The demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
|
33. Then G1161 went G1831 the G3588 devils G1140 out of G575 the G3588 man G444 , and entered G1525 into G1519 the G3588 swine G5519 : and G2532 the G3588 herd G34 ran violently G3729 down G2596 a steep place G2911 into G1519 the G3588 lake G3041 , and G2532 were choked G638 .
|
|
34. When the swineherds saw what had happened, they ran away and reported the incident in the town and throughout the countryside.
|
34. When G1161 they that fed G1006 them saw G1492 what was done G1096 , they fled G5343 , and G2532 went G565 and told G518 it in G1519 the G3588 city G4172 and G2532 in G1519 the G3588 country G68 .
|
|
35. People came out to see what had happened and, when they approached Jesus, they discovered the man from whom the demons had come out sitting at his feet. He was clothed and in his right mind, and they were seized with fear.
|
35. Then G1161 they went out G1831 to see G1492 what was done G1096 ; and G2532 came G2064 to G4314 Jesus G2424 , and G2532 found G2147 the G3588 man G444 , out of G575 whom G3739 the G3588 devils G1140 were departed G1831 , sitting G2521 at G3844 the G3588 feet G4228 of Jesus G2424 , clothed G2439 , and G2532 in his right mind G4993 : and G2532 they were afraid G5399 .
|
|
36. Those who witnessed it told them how the possessed man had been saved.
|
36. G1161 They also which saw G1492 G2532 it told G518 them G846 by what means G4459 he that was possessed of the devils G1139 was healed G4982 .
|
|
37. The entire population of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them because they were seized with great fear. So he got into a boat and returned.
|
37. Then G2532 the G3588 whole G537 multitude G4128 of the G3588 country of the Gadarenes round about G4066 G3588 G1046 besought G2065 him G846 to depart G565 from G575 them G846 ; for G3754 they were taken G4912 with great G3173 fear G5401 : and G1161 he G846 went up G1684 into G1519 the G3588 ship G4143 , and returned back again G5290 .
|
|
38. The man from whom the demons had come out begged to remain with him, but he sent him away, saying,
|
38. Now G1161 the G3588 man G435 out of G575 whom G3739 the G3588 devils G1140 were departed G1831 besought G1189 him G846 that he might be G1511 with G4862 him G846 : but G1161 Jesus G2424 sent him away G630 G846 , saying G3004 ,
|
|
39. "Return home and recount what God has done for you." The man went off and proclaimed throughout the whole town what Jesus had done for him.
|
39. Return G5290 to G1519 thine own G4675 house G3624 , and G2532 show G1334 how great things G3745 God G2316 hath done G4160 unto thee G4671 . And G2532 he went his way G565 , and published G2784 throughout G2596 the G3588 whole G3650 city G4172 how great things G3745 Jesus G2424 had done G4160 unto him G846 .
|
|
40. When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
|
40. And G1161 it came to pass G1096 , that , when Jesus G2424 was returned G5290 , the G3588 people G3793 gladly received G588 him G846 : for G1063 they were G2258 all G3956 waiting for G4328 him G846 .
|
|
41. And a man named Jairus, an official of the synagogue, came forward. He fell at the feet of Jesus and begged him to come to his house,
|
41. And G2532 , behold G2400 , there came G2064 a man G435 named G3686 Jairus G2383 , and G2532 he G846 was G5225 a ruler G758 of the G3588 synagogue G4864 : and G2532 he fell down G4098 at G3844 Jesus G2424 ' feet G4228 , and besought G3870 him G846 that he would come G1525 into G1519 his G848 house G3624 :
|
|
42. because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As he went, the crowds almost crushed him.
|
42. For G3754 he G846 had G2258 one only G3439 daughter G2364 , about G5613 twelve G1427 years of age G2094 , and G2532 she G3778 lay a dying G599 . But G1161 as he G846 went G5217 the G3588 people G3793 thronged G4846 him G846 .
|
|
43. And a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years, who (had spent her whole livelihood on doctors and) was unable to be cured by anyone,
|
43. And G2532 a woman G1135 having G5607 an G1722 issue G4511 of blood G129 twelve G1427 years G2094 , which G3748 had spent G4321 all G3650 her living G979 upon G1519 physicians G2395 , neither G3756 could G2480 be healed G2323 of G5259 any G3762 ,
|
|
44. came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. Immediately her bleeding stopped.
|
44. Came G4334 behind G3693 him, and touched G680 the G3588 border G2899 of his G846 garment G2440 : and G2532 immediately G3916 her G846 issue G4511 of blood G129 staunched G2476 .
|
|
45. Jesus then asked, "Who touched me?" While all were denying it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are pushing and pressing in upon you."
|
45. And G2532 Jesus G2424 said G2036 , Who G5101 touched G680 me G3450 ? When G1161 all G3956 denied G720 , Peter G4074 and G2532 they G3588 that were with G3326 him G846 said G2036 , Master G1988 , the G3588 multitude G3793 throng G4912 thee G4571 and G2532 press G598 thee, and G2532 sayest G3004 thou, Who G5101 touched G680 me G3450 ?
|
|
46. But Jesus said, "Someone has touched me; for I know that power has gone out from me."
|
46. And G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 , Somebody G5100 hath touched G680 me G3450 : for G1063 I G1473 perceive G1097 that virtue G1411 is gone G1831 out of G575 me G1700 .
|
|
47. When the woman realized that she had not escaped notice, she came forward trembling. Falling down before him, she explained in the presence of all the people why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
