1 And it came to pass thereafter, that He was passing through each city and town proclaiming and announcing the good message of the Kingdom of Yahweh, and the twelve were with Him,2 and there were certain women, who were healed from evil spirits and illnesses: Maria who is called Magdalane from whom seven demons were expelled,3 and Iohanna wife of Chouza a trustee of Herodas, and Sousanna and many others, who had been ministering to them from their belongings.4 And a great crowd coming together and upon their traveling to each city with Him, He spoke in a parable:5 "The sower has come out to sow his seed: and in his sowing, while that which fell by the road was then trampled and the birds of heaven devoured it,6 then others had fallen upon the bedrock, and sprouting it withered because it did not have moisture.7 And others had fallen in among the thorns, and growing together the thorns strangled them.8 Yet others had fallen onto the good earth and sprouting produced fruit a hundredfold." Saying these things He cried out "He having an ear to hear must hear!"9 Then His students enquired of Him: "What could this parable be?"10 And He said "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Yahweh, but to the rest in parables, that seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not understand.11 "This is the parable: The seed is the Word of Yahweh,12 and they by the road are those hearing, then comes the False Accuser and he takes the Word from their hearts, lest believing they would be preserved.13 And those upon the bedrock, when they heard they received the Word with joy, but these do not have roots, who for a time believe and in time of trial they withdraw.14 And those having fallen into the thorns, they are those hearing and going off are strangled by the cares and riches and pleasures of life and are not brought to perfection.15 But that which is in the fair earth, they are those who are fair and good in heart, hearing the Word, continuing they then bear fruit in patient endurance.16 "Now no one lighting a lamp conceals it in a vessel or sets it under a couch, but sets it upon a lampstand, that those entering in would see the light.17 For there is nothing secret which shall not become evident, nor hidden which shall not be known and brought to light.18 "Therefore you watch how you hear. Indeed whoever has, it shall be given to him, and whoever has not even that which he supposes to have shall be taken from him."19 Then His mother and brethren came near to Him, yet were not able to meet with Him because of the crowd.20 So it was announced to Him: "Your mother and brethren stand outside wishing to see You!"21 And replying He said to them "My mother and My brethren are those hearing and doing the Word of Yahweh!"22 And it happened in one of those days that He and His students boarded into a vessel, and He said to them: "We should pass through to the other side of the lake", and they set out.23 Then most of them had fallen asleep, and a furious storm of wind descended upon the lake, and being filled with water then they were endangered.24 So drawing near they aroused Him saying "Master, Master, we are being destroyed!" And awakening He censured the wind and the waves of water, and they stopped, and it became calm.25 Then He said to them "Where is your faith?" But being fearful they wondered saying to each other "So who is this that He even commands the winds and the water, and they obey Him?"26 Then they came ashore in the region of the Gadarenes which is opposite the coast of Galilaia.27 And with His coming out upon the land He met a certain man from the city having demons, and for considerable time who had not worn a garment, and has abode not in a house but among the tombs.28 And seeing Yahshua, crying out he fell down before Him and in a loud voice he said "What is there with me and with You, Yahshua Son of Yahweh the Highest? I beg You, do not torment me!"29 Therefore He commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For many times he had seized him, and being guarded he was bound in chains and shackles, yet breaking through the bonds he had been driven by the demon into the wilderness.30 Then Yahshua questioned him, "What is your name?" And he said "Legion", because many demons had entered into him.31 And they exhorted Him that He would not command them to depart into the abyss.32 And there was a considerable herd of swine there feeding on the mountain, and they exhorted Him that He would allow them to enter into them, and He allowed them.33 Then the demons departing from the man entered into the swine, and the herd rushed headlong down the bank into the lake and drowned.34 And seeing what happened, the swineherds fled and announced it in the city and in the fields.35 Then they came out to see what happened and they came to Yahshua and found the man from whom He had expelled the demons sitting at the feet of Yahshua dressed and of sound mind, and they feared.36 And those seeing it reported to them how He had saved him being possessed by demons.37 And the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, because they were stricken with great fear. Then He, boarding into a vessel, returned.38 But the man from whom the demons were expelled had begged Him to be with Him. But He dismissed him, saying:39 "Return to your house and describe what things Yahweh has done for you." And he went out through the whole city proclaiming what things Yahshua had done for him.40 And upon the returning of Yahshua the crowd received Him, for they were all expecting Him.41 And behold, there came a man with the name Iahiros, and he was a leader of the assembly hall, and falling by the feet of Yahshua he invited Him to come into his house,42 because his best-loved daughter, about twelve years old, was in it and she was about to die. And upon bringing Him the crowd constrained Him.43 And there was a woman with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent her entire livelihood with physicians, who was not able to be healed by anyone,44 who approaching behind Him grabbed the hem of His garment and immediately the flow of her blood had stopped.45 And Yahshua said "Who has grabbed Me?" Then all denying, Petros said "Master, the crowd constrains and presses upon You!"46 Then Yahshua said "Someone has grabbed Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me."47 And the woman, seeing that she had not gone unnoticed, came trembling and falling before Him because of the charge that she had grabbed Him, announced before all of the people even how she was immediately healed.48 And He said to her "Daughter, your faith has preserved you, go in peace."49 While He was speaking someone comes by the assembly hall leader saying that "Your daughter has died. Trouble the Teacher no longer."50 But hearing it Yahshua replied to him "Fear not, only have faith, and she shall be preserved."51 And coming into the house He did not allow anyone to enter with Him except Petros and Iohannes and Iakobos, and the father and the mother of the child.52 And all were weeping and mourning her, and He said: "Do not weep. For she has not died, but is sleeping."53 And they were deriding Him, knowing that she had died.54 Then grasping her hand He cried aloud, saying "Child, arise!"55 And her spirit returned and immediately she stood up, and He commanded to give for her to eat.56 And her parents were astonished, and He instructed them to say nothing of what happened.
