|
1 |
And it came to pass
afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and
shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with
him, |
|
|
2 |
And certain women,
which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called
Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
|
|
3 |
And Joanna the wife
of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered
unto him of their substance. |
|
4 |
And when much people
were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by
a parable: |
|
5 |
A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he
sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of
the air devoured it.
|
|
6 |
And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was
sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
|
|
7 |
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns
sprang up with it, and choked it.
|
|
8 |
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up,
and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he
cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. |
|
9 |
And his disciples
asked him, saying, What might this parable be? |
|
10 |
And he said,
Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of
the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not
see, and hearing they might not understand. |
|
11 |
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of
God. |
|
12 |
Those by the way side are they that hear; then
cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they
should believe and be saved.
|
|
13 |
They on the rock are they, which, when they
hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while
believe, and in time of temptation fall away. |
|
14 |
And that which fell among thorns are they,
which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches
and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. |
|
15 |
But that on the good ground are they, which in
an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth
fruit with patience.
|
|
16 |
No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth
it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a
candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
|
|
17 |
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made
manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. |
|
18 |
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever
hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken
even that which he seemeth to have.
|
|
19 |
Then came to him his
mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
|
|
20 |
And it was told him
by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring
to see thee.
|
|
21 |
And he answered and
said unto them, My mother and my brethren are
these which hear the word of God, and do it. |
|
22 |
Now it came to pass
on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said
unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of
the lake. And they launched forth. |
|
23 |
But as they sailed
he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they
were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
|
|
24 |
And they came to
him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and
rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was
a calm. |
|
25 |
And he said unto
them, Where is your faith? And they
being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this!
for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. |
|
26 |
And they arrived at
the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
|
|
27 |
And when he went
forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils
long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the
tombs. |
|
28 |
When he saw Jesus,
he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What
have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee,
torment me not. |
|
29 |
(For he had
commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had
caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake
the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) |
|
30 |
And Jesus asked him,
saying, What is thy name? And he said,
Legion: because many devils were entered into him. |
|
31 |
And they besought
him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
|
|
32 |
And there was there
an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he
would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
|
|
33 |
Then went the devils
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 they 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
devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his
right mind: and they were afraid.
|
|
36 |
They also which saw
it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
|
|
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 devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but
Jesus sent him away, saying, |
|
39 |
Return to thine own house, and shew how great
things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published
throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. |
|
40 |
And it came to pass,
that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were
all waiting for him. |
|
41 |
And, behold, there
came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell
down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: |
|
42 |
For he had one only
daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went
the people thronged him. |
|
43 |
And a woman having
an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon
physicians, neither could be healed of any,
|
|
44 |
Came behind him, and
touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood
stanched.
|
|
45 |
And Jesus said,
Who touched me? When all denied, Peter
and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and
press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? |
|
46 |
And Jesus said,
Somebody hath 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
hath made thee whole; go in peace.
|
|
49 |
While he yet spake,
there cometh 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: believe
only, and she shall be made whole.
|
|
51 |
And when he came
into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and
John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
|
|
52 |
And all wept, and
bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not
dead, but sleepeth.
|
|
53 |
And they laughed him
to scorn, knowing that she was dead. |
|
54 |
And he put them all
out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying,
Maid, arise.
|
|
55 |
And her spirit came
again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
|
|
56 |
And her parents were
astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
