Mark 5
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Demons Driven Out by Jesus
5 They(A) came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.[a] 2 As soon as he got out of the boat, a man with an unclean(B) spirit(C) came out of the tombs(D) and met him. 3 He lived in the tombs,(E) and no one was able to restrain him any more – not even with a chain(F) – 4 because he often had been bound with shackles and chains, but had torn the chains apart and smashed(G) the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue(H) him. 5 Night(I) and day among the tombs(J) and on the mountains,(K) he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and knelt down before him. 7 And he cried out with a loud voice, ‘What do you have to do with me, Jesus, Son(L) of the Most High God?(M) I beg you before God, don’t torment(N) me! ’ 8 For he had told him, ‘Come out of the man, you unclean(O) spirit! ’(P)
9 ‘What is your name? ’ he asked him.
‘My name is Legion,’(Q) he answered him, ‘because we are many.’ 10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the region.
11 A large herd of pigs(R) was there, feeding(S) on the hillside. 12 The demons[b] begged him, ‘Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.’ 13 So he gave them permission, and the unclean(T) spirits(U) came out and entered the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned there.
14 The men who tended them ran off(V) and reported it in the town and the countryside, and people went to see what had happened. 15 They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been demon-possessed,(W)(X) sitting there, dressed and in his right mind;(Y) and they were afraid.(Z) 16 Those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed(AA) man and told them about the pigs. 17 Then they began to beg him to leave their region.
18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged him earnestly that he might remain with him. 19 Jesus did not let him but told him, ‘Go home to your own people, and report to them how much the Lord(AB) has done(AC) for you and how he has had mercy on you.’ 20 So he went out and began to proclaim(AD) in the Decapolis(AE) how much Jesus had done for him, and they were all amazed.(AF)
A Girl Restored and a Woman Healed
21 When(AG) Jesus had crossed over again by boat[c] to the other side, a large crowd(AH) gathered around him while he was by the sea. 22 One of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus,(AI) came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet(AJ) 23 and begged him earnestly, ‘My little daughter is dying. Come and lay your hands on(AK) her so that she can get well[d](AL) and live.’ 24 So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd was following and pressing against him.
25 Now a woman suffering from bleeding(AM) for twelve years 26 had endured(AN) much under many doctors.(AO) She had spent everything she had and was not helped at all. On the contrary, she became worse. 27 Having heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched(AP) his clothing.(AQ) 28 For she said, ‘If I just touch his clothes, I’ll be made well.’(AR) 29 Instantly her flow of blood ceased, and she sensed in her body that she was healed(AS) of her affliction.
30 Immediately Jesus realised that power(AT) had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd(AU) and said, ‘Who touched my clothes? ’(AV)
31 His disciples said to him, ‘You see the crowd pressing against you, and yet you say, “Who touched me? ” ’
32 But he was looking round to see who had done this. 33 The woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down(AW) before him, and told him the whole truth.(AX) 34 ‘Daughter,’ he said to her, ‘your faith(AY) has saved you.(AZ) Go in peace and be healed(BA) from your affliction.’(BB)
35 While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, ‘Your daughter is dead. Why bother the teacher(BC) any more? ’
36 When Jesus overheard[e] what was said, he told the synagogue leader, ‘Don’t be afraid.(BD) Only believe.’ 37 He did not let anyone accompany him except Peter,(BE) James,(BF) and John,(BG) James’s brother. 38 They came to the leader’s house, and he saw a commotion – people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, ‘Why are you making a commotion and weeping?(BH) The child(BI) is not dead but asleep.’(BJ) 40 They laughed at him, but he put them all outside. He took the child’s father,(BK) mother, and those who were with him, and entered the place where the child was. 41 Then he took the child(BL) by the hand and said to her, ‘Talitha koum’[f] (which is translated, ‘Little girl, I say to you, get up’(BM)). 42 Immediately the girl got up(BN) and began to walk.(BO) (She was twelve years old.) At this they were utterly astounded.(BP) 43 Then he gave them strict orders that no one should know about this(BQ) and told them to give her something to eat.
Markus 5
BasisBijbel
Jezus geneest een man met heel veel duivelse geesten
5 Ze kwamen aan de overkant van het meer, in de streek van de Gadarénen. 2 Zodra Jezus uit de boot stapte, kwam er uit de begraafplaats een man naar Hem toe. De man was in de macht van een duivelse geest. 3 Hij woonde in de graven. Niemand kon hem vastbinden, zelfs niet met ijzeren boeien. 4 Hij was wel heel vaak met ijzeren kettingen en voetboeien vastgebonden, maar hij had de kettingen steeds stuk getrokken en de voetboeien kapot gemaakt. Niemand kon hem in bedwang houden. 5 Hij leefde dag en nacht tussen de graven en in de bergen. Dan liep hij te schreeuwen en sloeg zichzelf met stenen. 6 Toen hij Jezus in de verte zag, liep hij naar Hem toe. Hij liet zich voor Hem op zijn knieën vallen en riep luid: 7 "Wat moet U van mij, Jezus, Zoon van de Allerhoogste God? Zweer me bij God dat U mij geen pijn zal doen!" 8 Want Jezus had tegen hem gezegd: "Duivelse geest, ga weg uit deze man!" 9 En Hij vroeg hem: "Hoe heet je?" En hij antwoordde: "Ik heet 't Leger, want wij zijn met een heleboel." 10 En hij smeekte Hem om hen niet uit die streek weg te jagen.
11 Op de berghelling werd een grote kudde varkens gehoed. 12 En de geesten smeekten Jezus: "Mogen we alstublieft in die varkens gaan!" 13 Dat vond Hij goed. De duivelse geesten vertrokken uit de man en gingen in de varkens. Toen sloeg de hele kudde van ongeveer 2000 dieren op hol. De varkens stortten van de steile berghelling af, het meer in. Alle dieren verdronken.
14 De herders van de kudde varkens vluchtten weg. Ze vertelden overal in de stad en in de omgeving wat er was gebeurd. En de bewoners kwamen kijken wat er aan de hand was. 15 Ze kwamen bij Jezus en bekeken de man in wie het leger duivelse geesten had gewoond en die gek geweest was. Ze zagen dat hij aangekleed en helemaal normaal bij Jezus zat. Ze werden er bang van. 16 De mensen die het hadden zien gebeuren, vertelden aan iedereen die kwam kijken wat er met de gek en met de varkens was gebeurd.
17 De mensen vroegen Jezus om weg te gaan uit hun gebied. 18 Jezus stapte in de boot. De man die gek geweest was, smeekte Hem of hij met Hem mee mocht. 19 Maar dat wilde Jezus niet. Hij zei tegen hem: "Ga naar huis, naar je familie. Vertel hun wat de Heer God in zijn liefde voor je heeft gedaan." 20 En de man ging weg en begon in de Dekapolis (= 'Tienstedengebied') alles te vertellen wat Jezus voor hem had gedaan. En iedereen was erg verbaasd over wat hij vertelde.
21 Toen Jezus weer met de boot naar de overkant was gevaren, kwam opnieuw een heel grote groep mensen naar Hem toe. En Hij bleef bij het meer.
Jezus geneest een zieke vrouw en het dochtertje van Jaïrus
22 Er kwam een leider van de synagoge naar Jezus toe. Hij heette Jaïrus. Toen hij Jezus zag, liet hij zich voor Jezus op zijn knieën vallen en smeekte Hem: 23 "Mijn dochtertje is heel erg ziek en zal sterven. Kom alstublieft mee en leg haar de handen op. Dan zal ze beter worden en in leven blijven." 24 Jezus ging met hem mee. De mensen volgden Hem en drongen om Hem heen.
25 Er was daar ook een vrouw die al twaalf jaar bloed verloor. 26 Allerlei dokters hadden al van alles geprobeerd om haar te genezen. Ze had al haar geld uitgegeven aan die dokters. Maar niets had geholpen. Ze was er alleen maar zieker door geworden. 27 Nu had ze gehoord wat er over Jezus werd verteld. En ze baande zich een weg tussen al die mensen door en raakte van achteren zijn kleren aan. 28 Want ze zei bij zichzelf: "Ik hoef alleen maar zijn kleren aan te raken om genezen te worden." 29 Onmiddellijk stopte het bloeden. Ze merkte dat ze genezen was.
30 Jezus merkte onmiddellijk dat er kracht van Hem was uitgegaan. Hij draaide Zich om in de grote groep mensen en zei: "Wie heeft mijn kleren aangeraakt?" 31 Zijn leerlingen zeiden tegen Hem: "U ziet dat de mensen tegen U aan dringen. En dan vraagt U wie U aangeraakt heeft?" 32 Maar Jezus keek rond om te zien wie het was geweest. 33 De vrouw beefde van angst, omdat ze wist wat er met haar was gebeurd.[a] Ze kwam naar voren, liet zich voor Jezus op haar knieën vallen en vertelde Hem de hele waarheid. 34 Hij zei tegen haar: "Dochter, je geloof heeft je gered. Ga in vrede en wees genezen van je ziekte."
35 Op dat moment kwam er iemand uit het huis van de leider van de synagoge naar Jaïrus toe. Hij zei tegen hem: "Uw dochtertje is gestorven. U hoeft de Meester niet meer te storen." 36 Jezus hoorde het en zei tegen Jaïrus: "Wees niet bang. Geloof alleen maar." 37 Hij wilde niemand met Zich mee hebben, behalve Petrus, Jakobus en Johannes, de broer van Jakobus. 38 Ze kwamen in het huis van Jaïrus. Daar zag Hij alle drukte van de mensen die huilden en jammerden. 39 Hij zei tegen hen: "Waarom huilen en jammeren jullie zo? Het kind is niet gestorven, maar het slaapt." 40 Ze lachten Hem uit. Maar Hij stuurde hen allemaal naar buiten. Hij ging de kamer in waar het kind lag. Alleen de ouders van het kind en de leerlingen die Hij had meegenomen mochten mee naar binnen. 41 Hij pakte de hand van het kind en zei tegen haar: "Meisje, sta op!" 42 Het meisje stond onmiddellijk op en het kon lopen, want het was twaalf jaar. Ze waren geschokt. 43 Jezus zei streng dat ze het aan niemand mochten vertellen. Daarna zei Hij dat ze het kind iets te eten moesten geven.

Mark 5
New King James Version
A Demon-Possessed Man Healed(A)
5 Then (B)they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the [a]Gadarenes. 2 And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an (C)unclean spirit, 3 who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind [b]him, not even with chains, 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. 5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. 7 And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I (D)implore[c] You by God that You do not torment me.”
8 For He said to him, (E)“Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” 9 Then He asked him, “What is your name?”
And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” 10 Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country.
11 Now a large herd of (F)swine was feeding there near the mountains. 12 So all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the swine, that we may enter them.” 13 And [d]at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.
14 So those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had happened. 15 Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been (G)demon-possessed and had the legion, (H)sitting and (I)clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. 16 And those who saw it told them how it happened to him who had been demon-possessed, and about the swine. 17 Then (J)they began to plead with Him to depart from their region.
18 And when He got into the boat, (K)he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him. 19 However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.” 20 And he departed and began to (L)proclaim in [e]Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all (M)marveled.
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed(N)
21 (O)Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. 22 (P)And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet 23 and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and (Q)lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.
25 Now a certain woman (R)had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and (S)touched His garment. 28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”
29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the [f]affliction. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that (T)power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”
31 But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
32 And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. 33 But the woman, (U)fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, (V)your faith has made you well. (W)Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”
35 (X)While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only (Y)believe.” 37 And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38 Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw [g]a tumult and those who (Z)wept and wailed loudly. 39 When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but (AA)sleeping.”
40 And they ridiculed Him. (AB)But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. 41 Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” 42 Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were (AC)overcome with great amazement. 43 But (AD)He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.
