28. When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!”
29. For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bands apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
30. Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
31. They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.
32. Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. He allowed them.
33. The demons came out of the man, and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned.
34. When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
35. People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36. Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
37. All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. He entered into the boat, and returned.
38. But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39. “Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40. When Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41. Behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet, and begged him to come into his house,
42. for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
43. A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, and could not be healed by any,
44. came behind him, and touched the fringe of his cloak, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
45. Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46. But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”
47. When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
