24 ter, and were in danger. And they came near, and awoke him, saying, “Master, master, we perish." Then he arose, and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water: 25 and they ceased, and there was a calm. And he said unto them, "Where is your faith?" And they feared and wondered, saying one to another, "Who is this? for he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they 26 obey him." And they arrived at the country of the Ga27 darenes, which is over-against Galilee. And when he

had gone forth to land, there met him a certain man of the city, that had demons a long time*, and ware no 28 clothes, nor abode in any house, but in the tombs. And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, "What have I to do with theet, Jesus; thou son of the most high God? I en29 treat thee, torment me not." (For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him; and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven by 30 the demon into desert places.) And Jesus asked him,

saying "What is thy name?" And he said, "Legion :" 31 (for many demons had entered into him.) And the demons

besought Jesus that he would not command them to go 32 out into the abysst. Now an herd of many swine was there, feeding on the mountain : and the demons besought him that he would give them leave to enter into them. 33 And he gave them leave. Then the demons went out of the man, and entered into the swine and the herd ran

*This demoniac had probably intervals of reason: but often, (see ver. 29,) he had violent paroxysms of insanity, which made it necessary for his friends to bind him : though it seems that he sometimes escaped from his keepers. He fancied himself possessed by a legion of demons, and talks to Jesus as a raving lunatic. See Farmer on Demoniacs, c. ii. see. 1. Mr. Evanson suspects the whole account to be an interpola. tion; particularly from the use of a Latin word in Greek characters, which, he ob serves, is not customary with Luke, nor with any classical writer in the apostolic age.

violently down a steep place into the lake; and were 34 drowned. And when those who kept them saw what was done, they fled, and told it in the city and in the 35 country. Then the people went out to see what had been done ; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind and they were 36 afraid. And those also that had seen it, told them in 37 what manner he had been cured. Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about, asked Jesus to depart from them: for they were seized with great fear and he went into the ship, and returned.

Now the man, out of whom the demons had departed, entreated Jesus that he might be with him. But [Jesus] 39 sent him away, saying, "Return to thine house, and tell how great things God hath done unto thee." And he departed, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

And it came to pass, that, when Jesus returned, the people gladly received him for they were all in expectation of him.

And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus's feet, and besought him that he would come into his 42 house; for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the people 43 thronged him. And a woman, having an issue of blood twelve years, that had also consumed all her substance on 44 physicians, and could not be cured by any, came behind,

and touched the border of his garment and immediately 45 her issue of blood stopped. And Jesus said, "Who touched me?" And when all denied, Peter, and those that were with him, said, "Master, the multitudes press and 46 throng thee; and sayest thou, Who touched me?" And [Jesus] said, "Some one hath touched me; for I know 47 that power hath gone out of me." And when the woman

saw that she was not concealed, she came trembling, and fell down before him; and declared [to him] before all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she 48 was forthwith cured. And he said unto her, "Take

courage, daughter; thy faith hath made thee well: go 49 in peace.” And while he yet spake, there cometh one from

the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, "Thy 50 daughter is dead: trouble not the Teacher*. But when

Jesus heard it, he spake to the ruler. saying, "Fear not : 51 only believe, and she shall be made well." And when he came to the house, he suffered none to enter in, but Peter, and John, and James, and the father and the mo52 ther of the child. And all wept, and lamented her: but

he said, "Weep not: she is not dead, but sleepeth." 53 And they derided him; knowing that she was dead. 54 And he sent all out of the house, and took her by the 55 hand, and spake aloud, saying, "Child, arise." And

her breath↑ came again, and she forthwith arose: and he 56 commanded that food should be given her. And her parents were amazed: but he charged them that they should tell no man what had been done.

CH. IX. Now Jesus called the twelve apostles together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to 2 cure diseases. And he sent them forth to preach the 3 kingdom of God, and to cure the sick and said unto them, "Take nothing for your journey; neither staves, 4 nor bag, nor money; nor have two vests. And into whatsoever house ye enter, there remain, and thence de5 part. And whosoever shall not receive you, when ye go from that city shake off the very dust from your feet; 6 for a testimony unto them." And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching glad tidings, and healing every where.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all which had been +N. m. spirit, N.

done [by him]: and he was perplexed, because it was 8 said by some, that John was risen from the dead; and by some, that Elijah appeared; and by others, that one 9 of the old prophets was risen again. And Herod said, "John I have beheaded: but who is this of whom I hear such things?" And he desired to see Jesus.

And the apostles returned, and told Jesus all which they had done. And he took them, and withdrew privately to a desert place of [a city called] Bethsaida. 11 And when the multitudes knew it, they followed him : and he received them, and spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and restored those that had need of 12 cure. And when the day began to be far spent*, the

Twelve came near, and said unto him, "Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get provision: for we 13 are here in a desert place." But he said unto them, "Give ye them food to eat." And they said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless we should go and 14 buy food for all this people." For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Make them placet themselves on the ground by fifties in a 15 company." And they did so; and made them all place 16 themselves. And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed them, and brake,and gave to the disciples to set before the mul17 titude. And all ate, and were filled and what remained to them of the fragments was taken up, even twelve panniers.

And it came to pass as he was apart praying, his disciples were with him and he asked them, saying, 19" Who say the multitudes that I am?" They answered and said," John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah ; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen 20 again." And he said unto them, " But who say ye

Whom, N.

that I am?" Then Peter answered and said, "The Christ 21 of God." and he strictly charged them, and command22 ed them to tell no man that thing, saying, "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief-priests and scribes, and be killed, and be 23 raised the third day." And he said to all, "If any man desire to come after me, let him deny himself, and take 24 up his cross*, and follow me. For whosoever desireth

to save his life, shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose his 25 life for my sake, he shall save it. For what is a man

28

profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose [or for26 feit,] himselft? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him the Son of man shall be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in that of 27 his Father, and of the holy angels. But I tell you truly, There are some of those who stand here, who shall not taste of death till they have seen the kingdom of God." AND it came to pass about eight days after these words, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and 29 went up a mountain to pray. And it came to pass that, as he prayed, the appearance of his countenance was al30 tered, and his raiment was white and glistering. And, lo, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and 31 Elijah: that appeared in glory, and spake of his decease 32 which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. But

Peter, and those that were with him, were heavy with sleep and, when they awoke, they saw his glory, and 33 the two men who stood with him. And it came to pass, as the apostles were parted from him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, 34 and one for Elijah :" not knowing what he said. And while he thus spake, a cloud came and overshadowed them and the disciples feared when those men entered
