St. Luke 8:31-50 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

31. And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the abyss.

32. And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, and they besought him that he would allow them to enter into them. And he allowed them.

33. Then the demons went 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 those 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 demons were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

36. And those who saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the demons was saved.

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 demons were departed besought him that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

39. Return to thine own house and tell what great things God has done unto thee. And he went, preaching throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done unto him.

40. And it came to pass that when Jesus returned, the people received him, for they were all waiting for him.

41. And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a prince of the synagogue, and he fell down at Jesus’ feet and besought him that he would come into his house;

42. for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he went, the people thronged him.

43. And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians but could not be healed by any,

44. came behind him and touched the border of his garment, and immediately her issue of blood stopped.

45. Then Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and those that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

46. And Jesus said, Someone has 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 has made thee whole; go in peace.

49. While he yet spoke, there came 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; only believe, and she shall be made whole.
