路加福音 8
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
供应耶稣的妇女们
8 不久以后,耶稣走遍各个城镇乡村,讲道、传神国的福音。与他在一起的有十二使徒[a]。 2 还有一些从邪灵和疾病中被解脱出来[b]、得了痊愈的妇女,其中有那称为茉大拉的玛丽亚,从她身上曾经有七个鬼魔被赶出来, 3 又有希律的管家苦撒的妻子约亚娜,以及苏珊娜和许多别的妇女,她们都用自己所拥有的来服事耶稣和门徒们[c]。
撒种的比喻
4 那时,有一大群人聚集,又有人从各城镇来到耶稣那里,耶稣就用比喻说: 5 “有一个撒种的出去撒种。他撒的时候,有的种子落在路边,被人践踏,天空的飞鸟也把它吃掉了。 6 有的落在岩石上,一长出来就枯萎了,因为得不到水份。 7 有的落进荆棘丛里,荆棘与它一起生长,把它挤住了。 8 但另有落进好土壤里的,长起来,结出百倍的果实。”耶稣讲完这些话,就大声说:“凡是有耳可听的,就应当听!”
用比喻的原因
9 耶稣的门徒们问他这比喻到底是什么意思。 10 他说:“神国的奥秘已经赐下来让你们知道,但是对其他的人就用比喻。这是为要使
‘他们看,却看不见;
听,却不领悟。’[d]
解明撒种的比喻
11 “原来,这个比喻是这样的。那种子就是神的话语[e]。 12 那‘路边之地’,是这样的人:他们听了这话语,然后魔鬼就来,从他们心里把话语夺走,免得他们信而得救。 13 那‘岩石’,是这样的人:他们一旦听了,就怀着喜乐的心接受了这话语;可是这些人没有根,他们暂时相信,而在试炼的时候,就离开信仰[f]了。 14 种子落在其中的那‘荆棘丛’,是这样的人:他们听了,却走自己的路[g],被今生的忧虑、财富和享乐挤住了,结不出成熟的果实。 15 那‘好土壤’,是这样的人:他们听了这话语,以诚实美善的心持守它,并且在忍耐中结出果实。
油灯的比喻
16 “没有人点上油灯,用器皿盖住或放在床底下,而是放在灯台上,好让进来的人能看见光。 17 隐秘的事没有不显露的,隐藏的事绝没有不被知道、不显露出来的。 18 所以,你们要留心怎样去听;因为凡是有的,还要赐给他;凡是没有的,连他自以为有的也将从他那里被拿走。”
真正的亲属
19 耶稣的母亲和弟弟们[h]来到他那里,可是由于人多,不能靠近他。 20 有人告诉他:“你母亲和弟弟们站在外面,想要见你。”
21 耶稣回答他们,说:“我的母亲、我的弟兄,是那些听神的话语[i]而遵行的人。”
平静风浪
22 就在那些日子里,有一天耶稣和他的门徒们上了船,耶稣对他们说:“我们渡到湖对岸去吧。”他们就出发了。 23 船行的时候,耶稣睡着了。这时候,暴风降临到湖上,他们不断地被水浸灌,情况危险。 24 门徒们上前来叫醒耶稣,说:“老师,老师,我们没命了!”耶稣就起来,斥责风和浪,风浪就止息,湖面就变得平静。 25 耶稣对他们说:“你们的信仰在哪里?”
他们又惧怕,又惊奇,彼此说:“这个人究竟是谁?他竟然命令风和水,连风和水也听从他!”
在格拉森驱赶鬼魔
26 他们行船到了格拉森[j]人的地方,就是加利利的对岸。 27 耶稣刚上岸,那城里一个有鬼魔附身的人就迎面而来。这个人已经很长时间不穿衣服,不住在家里,而住在墓地里。 28 他一看见耶稣,就喊叫起来,俯伏在耶稣面前,大声说:“至高神的儿子耶稣,我与你有什么关系?求求你不要折磨我!” 29 这是因为耶稣吩咐污灵从那个人身上出来。原来污灵曾多次抓住那个人,虽然他被铁链和脚镣捆锁,被看守着,可是他挣断锁链,被鬼魔驱逐到旷野去。
30 耶稣问他:“你叫什么名字?”
他回答说:“军团。”因为有许多鬼魔进到他里面。 31 那些鬼魔央求耶稣不要命令它们进无底坑去。
32 当时,那里有一大群猪正在山上吃食。那些鬼魔就央求耶稣准许它们进入那些猪里,耶稣准许了它们。 33 鬼魔就从那个人身上出来,进入猪里面。于是那群猪从山崖冲到湖里淹死了。 34 那些放猪的人看见所发生的事,就逃跑了,去[k]把这事传到城里城外。 35 人们就出来,要看所发生的事,他们来到耶稣那里,看见鬼魔所离开的那人,穿着衣服,神志清醒地坐在耶稣脚前,他们就惧怕起来。 36 那些看见的人,就告诉大家被鬼魔附身的人怎样得到救治。 37 格拉森[l]一带的全体民众请求耶稣离开他们,因为他们十分惧怕。耶稣就上船回去了。
38 鬼魔所离开的那人央求耶稣,要和他在一起,但耶稣[m]让他走,说: 39 “你回家去吧,述说神为你做了什么。”于是他就离开了,在全城里传扬耶稣为他做了什么样的事[n]。
少女复活、妇人痊愈
40 耶稣回来的时候,一群人来欢迎他,原来大家一直在等候他。 41 这时候,来了一个名叫睚鲁的人,他是一个会堂主管。他俯伏在耶稣脚前,恳求耶稣到他家里去, 42 因为他有一个约十二岁的独生女儿,快要死了。
耶稣去的时候,人群拥挤着他。 43 有一个妇人,患了十二年的血漏病,在医生那里花尽了她所有的养生费用,[o]却没有一个人能使她痊愈。 44 她从耶稣后面过来,摸了一下耶稣的衣服穗子,立刻,她的血漏就止住了。
45 耶稣说:“谁摸了我?”
大家都否认。彼得[p]就说:“老师,人群正围着拥挤你呢![q]”
46 但是耶稣说:“有人摸了我,因为我知道有能力从我身上出去了。” 47 那妇人知道瞒不过了,就战战兢兢地上前俯伏在耶稣面前,在全体民众面前说出她是因什么理由摸了耶稣,以及怎样立刻得了痊愈。 48 耶稣对她说:“女儿,[r]你的信救了你,平平安安地去吧。”
49 耶稣还在说话的时候,有人从会堂主管的家[s]来,对睚鲁[t]说:“你的女儿已经死了,不要再麻烦老师了。”
50 耶稣听了,就对睚鲁说:“不要怕,只要信!她就会得救治。” 51 耶稣来到他的家,除了彼得、约翰、雅各和孩子的父母以外,不准任何人与他一起进去。 52 大家都在为那女孩捶胸哀哭。耶稣说:“不要哭!她不是死了,而是睡了。”
53 他们知道女孩已经死了,就讥笑耶稣。 54 但是耶稣[u]握着女孩的手,呼唤说:“孩子,起来!” 55 于是她的灵魂回来了,她就立刻起来。耶稣吩咐给她吃东西。 56 她的父母十分惊讶,耶稣吩咐他们不要把所发生的事告诉任何人。

Luke 8
New King James Version
Many Women Minister to Jesus
8 Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and [a]bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, 2 and (A)certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and [b]infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, (B)out of whom had come seven demons, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for [c]Him from their [d]substance.
The Parable of the Sower(C)
4 (D)And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable: 5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. 6 Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang 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 But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded [e]a crop a hundredfold.” When He had said these things He cried, (E)“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
The Purpose of Parables(F)
9 (G)Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?”
10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the [f]mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that
(H)‘Seeing they may not see,
And hearing they may not understand.’
The Parable of the Sower Explained(I)
11 (J)“Now the parable is this: The seed is the (K)word of God. 12 Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of [g]temptation fall away. 14 Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, (L)riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. 15 But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with (M)patience.[h]
The Parable of the Revealed Light(N)
16 (O)“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the (P)light. 17 (Q)For nothing is secret that will not be (R)revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. 18 Therefore take heed how you hear. (S)For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he [i]seems to (T)have will be taken from him.”
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers Come to Him(U)
19 (V)Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd. 20 And it was told Him by some, who said, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You.”
21 But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
Wind and Wave Obey Jesus(W)
22 (X)Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out. 23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in [j]jeopardy. 24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!”
Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 But He said to them, (Y)“Where is your faith?”
And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, (Z)“Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
A Demon-Possessed Man Healed(AA)
26 (AB)Then they sailed to the country of the [k]Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27 And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons [l]for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he (AC)cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, (AD)“What have I to do with (AE)You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!” 29 For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.
30 Jesus asked him, saying, “What is your name?”
And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him. 31 And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out (AF)into the abyss.
32 Now a herd of many (AG)swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them. 33 Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.
34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. 35 Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, (AH)sitting at the (AI)feet of Jesus, clothed and in his (AJ)right mind. And they were afraid. 36 They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was [m]healed. 37 (AK)Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the [n]Gadarenes (AL)asked Him to (AM)depart from them, for they were seized with great (AN)fear. And He got into the boat and returned.
38 Now (AO)the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed
40 So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. 41 (AP)And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she (AQ)was dying.
But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. 43 (AR)Now a woman, having a (AS)flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and (AT)touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
45 And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”
When all denied it, Peter [o]and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, [p]and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived (AU)power going out from Me.” 47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.
48 And He said to her, “Daughter, [q]be of good cheer; (AV)your faith has made you well. (AW)Go in peace.”
49 (AX)While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the [r]Teacher.”
50 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; (AY)only believe, and she will be made well.” 51 When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go [s]in except [t]Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. 52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, (AZ)“Do not weep; she is not dead, (BA)but sleeping.” 53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 But He [u]put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, (BB)arise.” 55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but (BC)He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

New International Version
The Parable of the Sower(A)
8 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God.(B) The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene)(C) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s(D) household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.
4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: 5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. 6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”
When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(E)
9 His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10 He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you,(F) but to others I speak in parables, so that,
11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.(H) 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.(I) 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches(J) and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.
A Lamp on a Stand
16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.(K) 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.(L) 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”(M)
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers(N)
19 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers(O) are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”(P)
Jesus Calms the Storm(Q)(R)
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master,(S) we’re going to drown!”
He got up and rebuked(T) the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.(U) 25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.
In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”
Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(V)(W)
26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[b] which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,(X) Jesus, Son of the Most High God?(Y) I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.
30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.(Z)
32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake(AA) and was drowned.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet,(AB) dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed(AC) man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them,(AD) because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(AE)
40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader,(AF) came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.
As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(AG) for twelve years,[c] but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak,(AH) and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master,(AI) the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me;(AJ) I know that power has gone out from me.”(AK)
47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(AL) Go in peace.”(AM)
49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(AN) “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”
50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James,(AO) and the child’s father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning(AP) for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”(AQ)
53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!”(AR) 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.(AS)
路加福音 8
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
供应耶稣的妇女们
8 不久以后,耶稣走遍各个城镇乡村,讲道、传神国的福音。与他在一起的有十二使徒[a]。 2 还有一些从邪灵和疾病中被解脱出来[b]、得了痊愈的妇女,其中有那称为茉大拉的玛丽亚,从她身上曾经有七个鬼魔被赶出来, 3 又有希律的管家苦撒的妻子约亚娜,以及苏珊娜和许多别的妇女,她们都用自己所拥有的来服事耶稣和门徒们[c]。
撒种的比喻
4 那时,有一大群人聚集,又有人从各城镇来到耶稣那里,耶稣就用比喻说: 5 “有一个撒种的出去撒种。他撒的时候,有的种子落在路边,被人践踏,天空的飞鸟也把它吃掉了。 6 有的落在岩石上,一长出来就枯萎了,因为得不到水份。 7 有的落进荆棘丛里,荆棘与它一起生长,把它挤住了。 8 但另有落进好土壤里的,长起来,结出百倍的果实。”耶稣讲完这些话,就大声说:“凡是有耳可听的,就应当听!”
用比喻的原因
9 耶稣的门徒们问他这比喻到底是什么意思。 10 他说:“神国的奥秘已经赐下来让你们知道,但是对其他的人就用比喻。这是为要使
‘他们看,却看不见;
听,却不领悟。’[d]
解明撒种的比喻
11 “原来,这个比喻是这样的。那种子就是神的话语[e]。 12 那‘路边之地’,是这样的人:他们听了这话语,然后魔鬼就来,从他们心里把话语夺走,免得他们信而得救。 13 那‘岩石’,是这样的人:他们一旦听了,就怀着喜乐的心接受了这话语;可是这些人没有根,他们暂时相信,而在试炼的时候,就离开信仰[f]了。 14 种子落在其中的那‘荆棘丛’,是这样的人:他们听了,却走自己的路[g],被今生的忧虑、财富和享乐挤住了,结不出成熟的果实。 15 那‘好土壤’,是这样的人:他们听了这话语,以诚实美善的心持守它,并且在忍耐中结出果实。
油灯的比喻
16 “没有人点上油灯,用器皿盖住或放在床底下,而是放在灯台上,好让进来的人能看见光。 17 隐秘的事没有不显露的,隐藏的事绝没有不被知道、不显露出来的。 18 所以,你们要留心怎样去听;因为凡是有的,还要赐给他;凡是没有的,连他自以为有的也将从他那里被拿走。”
真正的亲属
19 耶稣的母亲和弟弟们[h]来到他那里,可是由于人多,不能靠近他。 20 有人告诉他:“你母亲和弟弟们站在外面,想要见你。”
21 耶稣回答他们,说:“我的母亲、我的弟兄,是那些听神的话语[i]而遵行的人。”
平静风浪
22 就在那些日子里,有一天耶稣和他的门徒们上了船,耶稣对他们说:“我们渡到湖对岸去吧。”他们就出发了。 23 船行的时候,耶稣睡着了。这时候,暴风降临到湖上,他们不断地被水浸灌,情况危险。 24 门徒们上前来叫醒耶稣,说:“老师,老师,我们没命了!”耶稣就起来,斥责风和浪,风浪就止息,湖面就变得平静。 25 耶稣对他们说:“你们的信仰在哪里?”
他们又惧怕,又惊奇,彼此说:“这个人究竟是谁?他竟然命令风和水,连风和水也听从他!”
在格拉森驱赶鬼魔
26 他们行船到了格拉森[j]人的地方,就是加利利的对岸。 27 耶稣刚上岸,那城里一个有鬼魔附身的人就迎面而来。这个人已经很长时间不穿衣服,不住在家里,而住在墓地里。 28 他一看见耶稣,就喊叫起来,俯伏在耶稣面前,大声说:“至高神的儿子耶稣,我与你有什么关系?求求你不要折磨我!” 29 这是因为耶稣吩咐污灵从那个人身上出来。原来污灵曾多次抓住那个人,虽然他被铁链和脚镣捆锁,被看守着,可是他挣断锁链,被鬼魔驱逐到旷野去。
30 耶稣问他:“你叫什么名字?”
他回答说:“军团。”因为有许多鬼魔进到他里面。 31 那些鬼魔央求耶稣不要命令它们进无底坑去。
32 当时,那里有一大群猪正在山上吃食。那些鬼魔就央求耶稣准许它们进入那些猪里,耶稣准许了它们。 33 鬼魔就从那个人身上出来,进入猪里面。于是那群猪从山崖冲到湖里淹死了。 34 那些放猪的人看见所发生的事,就逃跑了,去[k]把这事传到城里城外。 35 人们就出来,要看所发生的事,他们来到耶稣那里,看见鬼魔所离开的那人,穿着衣服,神志清醒地坐在耶稣脚前,他们就惧怕起来。 36 那些看见的人,就告诉大家被鬼魔附身的人怎样得到救治。 37 格拉森[l]一带的全体民众请求耶稣离开他们,因为他们十分惧怕。耶稣就上船回去了。
38 鬼魔所离开的那人央求耶稣,要和他在一起,但耶稣[m]让他走,说: 39 “你回家去吧,述说神为你做了什么。”于是他就离开了,在全城里传扬耶稣为他做了什么样的事[n]。
少女复活、妇人痊愈
40 耶稣回来的时候,一群人来欢迎他,原来大家一直在等候他。 41 这时候,来了一个名叫睚鲁的人,他是一个会堂主管。他俯伏在耶稣脚前,恳求耶稣到他家里去, 42 因为他有一个约十二岁的独生女儿,快要死了。
耶稣去的时候,人群拥挤着他。 43 有一个妇人,患了十二年的血漏病,在医生那里花尽了她所有的养生费用,[o]却没有一个人能使她痊愈。 44 她从耶稣后面过来,摸了一下耶稣的衣服穗子,立刻,她的血漏就止住了。
45 耶稣说:“谁摸了我?”
大家都否认。彼得[p]就说:“老师,人群正围着拥挤你呢![q]”
46 但是耶稣说:“有人摸了我,因为我知道有能力从我身上出去了。” 47 那妇人知道瞒不过了,就战战兢兢地上前俯伏在耶稣面前,在全体民众面前说出她是因什么理由摸了耶稣,以及怎样立刻得了痊愈。 48 耶稣对她说:“女儿,[r]你的信救了你,平平安安地去吧。”
49 耶稣还在说话的时候,有人从会堂主管的家[s]来,对睚鲁[t]说:“你的女儿已经死了,不要再麻烦老师了。”
50 耶稣听了,就对睚鲁说:“不要怕,只要信!她就会得救治。” 51 耶稣来到他的家,除了彼得、约翰、雅各和孩子的父母以外,不准任何人与他一起进去。 52 大家都在为那女孩捶胸哀哭。耶稣说:“不要哭!她不是死了,而是睡了。”
53 他们知道女孩已经死了,就讥笑耶稣。 54 但是耶稣[u]握着女孩的手,呼唤说:“孩子,起来!” 55 于是她的灵魂回来了,她就立刻起来。耶稣吩咐给她吃东西。 56 她的父母十分惊讶,耶稣吩咐他们不要把所发生的事告诉任何人。

Luke 8
New King James Version
Many Women Minister to Jesus
8 Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and [a]bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, 2 and (A)certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and [b]infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, (B)out of whom had come seven demons, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for [c]Him from their [d]substance.
The Parable of the Sower(C)
4 (D)And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable: 5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. 6 Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang 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 But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded [e]a crop a hundredfold.” When He had said these things He cried, (E)“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
The Purpose of Parables(F)
9 (G)Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?”
10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the [f]mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that
(H)‘Seeing they may not see,
And hearing they may not understand.’
The Parable of the Sower Explained(I)
11 (J)“Now the parable is this: The seed is the (K)word of God. 12 Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of [g]temptation fall away. 14 Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, (L)riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. 15 But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with (M)patience.[h]
The Parable of the Revealed Light(N)
16 (O)“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the (P)light. 17 (Q)For nothing is secret that will not be (R)revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. 18 Therefore take heed how you hear. (S)For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he [i]seems to (T)have will be taken from him.”
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers Come to Him(U)
19 (V)Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd. 20 And it was told Him by some, who said, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You.”
21 But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
Wind and Wave Obey Jesus(W)
22 (X)Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out. 23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in [j]jeopardy. 24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!”
Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 But He said to them, (Y)“Where is your faith?”
And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, (Z)“Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
A Demon-Possessed Man Healed(AA)
26 (AB)Then they sailed to the country of the [k]Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27 And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons [l]for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he (AC)cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, (AD)“What have I to do with (AE)You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!” 29 For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.
30 Jesus asked him, saying, “What is your name?”
And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him. 31 And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out (AF)into the abyss.
32 Now a herd of many (AG)swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them. 33 Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.
34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. 35 Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, (AH)sitting at the (AI)feet of Jesus, clothed and in his (AJ)right mind. And they were afraid. 36 They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was [m]healed. 37 (AK)Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the [n]Gadarenes (AL)asked Him to (AM)depart from them, for they were seized with great (AN)fear. And He got into the boat and returned.
38 Now (AO)the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed
40 So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. 41 (AP)And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she (AQ)was dying.
But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. 43 (AR)Now a woman, having a (AS)flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and (AT)touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
45 And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”
When all denied it, Peter [o]and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, [p]and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived (AU)power going out from Me.” 47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.
48 And He said to her, “Daughter, [q]be of good cheer; (AV)your faith has made you well. (AW)Go in peace.”
49 (AX)While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the [r]Teacher.”
50 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; (AY)only believe, and she will be made well.” 51 When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go [s]in except [t]Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. 52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, (AZ)“Do not weep; she is not dead, (BA)but sleeping.” 53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 But He [u]put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, (BB)arise.” 55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but (BC)He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

New International Version
The Parable of the Sower(A)
8 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God.(B) The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene)(C) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s(D) household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.
4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: 5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. 6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”
When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(E)
9 His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10 He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you,(F) but to others I speak in parables, so that,
11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.(H) 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.(I) 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches(J) and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.
A Lamp on a Stand
16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.(K) 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.(L) 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”(M)
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers(N)
19 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers(O) are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”(P)
Jesus Calms the Storm(Q)(R)
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master,(S) we’re going to drown!”
He got up and rebuked(T) the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.(U) 25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.
In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”
Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(V)(W)
26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[b] which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,(X) Jesus, Son of the Most High God?(Y) I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.
30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.(Z)
32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake(AA) and was drowned.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet,(AB) dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed(AC) man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them,(AD) because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(AE)
40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader,(AF) came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.
As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(AG) for twelve years,[c] but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak,(AH) and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master,(AI) the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me;(AJ) I know that power has gone out from me.”(AK)
47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(AL) Go in peace.”(AM)
49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(AN) “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”
50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James,(AO) and the child’s father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning(AP) for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”(AQ)
53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!”(AR) 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.(AS)
