New Testament

Luke 8:30-44 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

30. Then Jesus questioned him, saying, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion," because many demons had entered into him.

31. And they petitioned him not to order them to go into the abyss.

32. And in that place, there was a herd of many swine, pasturing on the mountain. And they petitioned him to permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them.

33. Therefore, the demons departed from the man, and they entered into the swine. And the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the lake, and they were drowned.

34. And when those who were pasturing them had seen this, they fled and reported it in the city and the villages.

35. Then they went out to see what was happening, and they came to Jesus. And they found the man, from whom the demons had departed, sitting at his feet, clothed as well as in a sane mind, and they were afraid.

36. Then those who had seen this also reported to them how he had been healed from the legion.

37. And the entire multitude from the region of the Gerasenes pleaded with him to depart from them. For they were seized by a great fear. Then, climbing into the boat, he went back again.

38. And the man from whom the demons had departed pleaded with him, so that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,

39. "Return to your house and explain to them what great things God has done for you." And he traveled through the entire city, preaching about the great things that Jesus had done for him.

40. Now it happened that, when Jesus had returned, the crowd received him. For they were all waiting for him.

41. And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was a leader of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus, asking him to enter into his house.

42. For he had an only daughter, nearly twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened that, as he was going there, he was hemmed in by the crowd.

43. And there was a certain woman, with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had paid out all her substance on physicians, and she was unable to be cured by any of them.

44. She approached him from behind, and she touched the hem of his garment. And at once the flow of her blood stopped.
