5 Then Jesus and his apprentices arrived on the other side of the Sea of Galilee, in the region where the Gerasene people lived. 2 As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, a man whom a demon controlled came up to him. This man had come from the burial caves. 3 In fact, he lived in the burial caves. The people who lived nearby could not tie him up, not even with metal chains. 4 In the past, they had frequently tied him up with metal chains and bonds. However, he always snapped the metal chains and broke apart the bonds. He was so strong that nobody could overpower him. 5 All day long, this man would yell and hurt himself with rocks while he wandered around among the burial caves and the hills.
6 After Jesus arrived, this man saw him from far away. He ran to where Jesus was and knelt before him.7-8 7-8Then Jesus said, “You demon, leave this man!”
Then the demon shouted loudly. It said, “Jesus, Son of the greatest God, leave me alone! I want you to have God guarantee that you will not make me suffer.”
9 Then Jesus asked the man, “What do people call you?”
He replied, “People call me ‘Thousands.’ They call me that because there are many of us demons in this man.” 10 Then the demon repeatedly urged Jesus not to make the many demons leave that area.
11 While all that was happening, a large herd of pigs was grazing nearby on a hillside. 12 The demons urged Jesus, “When you force us out of this man, please allow us to go to those pigs. That way, we can control them.”
13 Jesus allowed them to do that. So, the demons left the man and began to control the pigs. Then, the herd of pigs rushed down the steep bank into the Sea of Galilee! There were about 2,000 of them, and they drowned there in the sea.
14 Then those who were taking care of the pigs ran away. They told all the people who lived around them about what they had seen. Those people went to see what had happened. 15 When they arrived where Jesus was, they saw the man whom the thousands of demons had controlled. He was sitting down, he had clothes on, and he was thinking normally. So, they realized how powerful Jesus must be, and they became afraid. 16 The people who had seen what Jesus did explained everything to the people who had just arrived. They told them about what Jesus did for the man whom the demons had controlled. They also told them what happened to the pigs. 17 Then the people who were there started to urge Jesus to leave their area.
18 While Jesus was entering the boat to leave, the man whom the demons had controlled urged Jesus to allow him to go with Jesus as his apprentice. 19 However, Jesus did not allow the man to go with him. Instead, he told him, “Go home to your friends and family. Tell them about everything that the Lord God has done for you and how he has helped you.” 20 So, the man traveled around the region of the Ten Towns. He told people how much Jesus had done for him. What the man said impressed all the people who heard it.
21 Meanwhile, Jesus and his apprentices sailed in a boat back to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus stayed next to the Sea of Galilee, and a large group of people assembled near him. 22 Then, a certain man arrived. He was a leader of the Jewish meeting place there. His name was Jairus. When he saw Jesus, Jairus knelt before him. 23 He urged Jesus repeatedly, “My young daughter is about to die. Please come with me and touch her. That way, you will rescue her, and she will stay alive.”
24 So Jesus and his apprentices left with Jairus to go to his house.
A large group of people went with them, and they were almost crushing Jesus. 25 Now there was a woman in the crowd who had been suffering for 12 years from a disease that caused continual bleeding. 26 During those 12 years, she had spent all the money that she had to pay for doctors. However, these doctors only hurt her more. So, she did not get any better. Instead, she actually became more sick.27-28 27-28When she learned what Jesus had done, she thought, “Just touching Jesus’ clothing will cure me.” So, in the large group of people, she approached Jesus from behind. She touched his robe. 29 As soon as she did that, her bleeding stopped. She could feel inside herself that she was no longer sick.
30 As soon as she touched his robe, Jesus recognized that someone had benefited from how powerful he was. So, in the middle of the large group of people, he spun around and asked, “Which of you touched my clothing?”
31 His apprentices replied, “Look at the large group of people that is almost crushing you! Probably many people have touched you. So, it does not make sense to ask who touched you.”
32 However, Jesus kept trying to see the person who had touched his clothes. 33 Then the woman came up to Jesus. She realized what had happened, and she shook because she was afraid. She knelt before Jesus and told him exactly what had happened. 34 Jesus replied, “Young woman, because you believed that I could heal you, you are now well. Now go on your way, and may God make you peaceful. You will not be sick in that way again.”
35 While Jesus was still talking with that woman, some messengers arrived from the house of Jairus, the leader of the Jewish meeting place. They told Jairus, “Your daughter is dead. You should not continue to ask the instructor to help.”
36 Jesus listened to what the messengers said. Then, he told Jairus, “You should stop being afraid! You just need to trust that I can help your daughter.”
37 Then Jesus took only Peter, James, and James’ younger brother John with him. He did not allow anyone else to come with them. 38 Then they arrived at the house of Jairus, the leader of the Jewish meeting place. Jesus noticed that the people there were making a lot of noise. They were crying very sorrowfully. 39 Then Jesus went into the house. He told the people there, “You should not be making much noise and crying sorrowfully! The young woman is not dead! She is only sleeping.” 40 The people made fun of him for saying that.
However, Jesus made all of them leave the house. Then, he went to where the young woman was. He took with him the young woman’s father and mother as well as Peter, James, and John. 41 Jesus took hold of the young woman’s hand. He said to her, “Talitha koum!” That means, “Young woman, I tell you to get up!” 42 As soon as Jesus said that, the young woman became alive again, stood up, and walked around (in fact, she was 12 years old). That greatly impressed everyone who was there. 43 Jesus ordered them firmly, “Do not tell anyone about what I have done here!” Also, he told them to serve the young woman some food to eat.
