Section XII.
[1] 888
And all the multitude
of the Gadarenes entreated him to depart from them, because that great
fear took hold upon them.
[2, 3] 889
But
Jesus went up into
the
ship, and crossed, and came to his city.
890
And that man from whom the
devils went out
entreated that he might stay with him; but [4]
Jesus sent him away, and
said unto him,
891
Return to thy
house,
and make known what [5]
God hath done for thee.
892
And he went, and began to
publish in
Decapolis
893
what
Jesus had done
for him; and they all marvelled.
[6] 894
And when
Jesus had
crossed in the
ship to that side, a great multitude received [7] him;
and they were all looking for him.
895
And a
man named Jairus, the
chief of the [8]
synagogue, fell before the
feet
of
Jesus,
896
and besought him much,
and said unto him, I have an only
daughter, and she is come nigh unto
death;
897
but come and lay thy [9]
hand upon her, and
she shall
live.
898
And
Jesus rose, and
his
disciples, and they followed [10] him.
899
And there joined him a great multitude, and
they pressed him.
[11, 12] 900
And a
woman, which had
a flow of
blood for twelve years,
901
had
suffered much of many
physicians, and spent all that she had, and was
not benefited at all, but her [13]
trouble increased further.
902
And when she heard of
Jesus, she came in the
thronging of [14] [Arabic, p. 47] the
crowd behind him, and
touched
903
his
garments;
904
and
she thought within [15] herself, If I
could reach to touch his
garments, I should
live.
905
And immediately the
fountain of her
blood was dried; and she felt in her body that she was
healed [16] of her
plague.
906
And
Jesus
straightway knew within himself that
power had gone out of him; and he
turned to the
crowd, and said, Who approached unto my
garments?
[17]
907
And on their denying, all of them,
Simon
Cephas and those with him said unto him, Our Master, the multitudes
throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who approached [18] unto
me?
908
And he said, Some one
approached unto me; and I knew that [19]
power went forth from
me.
909
And that
woman, when
she saw that she was not hid [20] from him, came fearing and agitated
(for she knew what had happened to her),
910
and
fell down and worshipped him, and told, in the presence of all the
people, for what [21] reason she touched
him, and how she was
healed immediately.
911
And
Jesus said unto
her, Be of good
courage,
daughter; thy
faith hath made thee alive;
depart in
peace, and be whole from thy
plague.
[22] 912
And while he was yet
speaking, there came a man from the
house of the
chief of the
synagogue, and said unto him, Thy
daughter hath
died; so
trouble not
the [23]
teacher.
913
But
Jesus heard, and
said unto the
father of the
maid,
Fear not: but believe [24]
only, and she shall
live.
914
And he
suffered
no man to go with him, except [25]
Simon Cephas, and James, and John
the
brother of James.
915
And they reached the
house of the
chief of the
synagogue; and he saw them agitated, weeping
and wailing. [26]
916
And he entered, and
said unto them, Why are ye agitated
and weeping? the [27]
[Arabic, p. 48]
maid hath not
died, but she is sleeping.
917
And they
laughed at him, for [28] they knew
that she had
died.
918
And he put every man
forth without, and took the
father of the
maid, and her mother, and
Simon, and James, and John, and [29] entered into the place where the
maid was laid.
919
And he took hold of
the
hand of the
maid, and said unto her,
Maid, arise.
920
And her spirit returned, and straightway [30]
she arose and walked:
921
and she was about
twelve years
of age.
922
And he commanded
[31] that there should be given to her something to eat.
923
And her
father wondered greatly:
[32] and he
warned them that they
should tell no man what had happened.
924
And
this
report spread in all that
land.
[33] 925
And when
Jesus crossed
over from there, there joined him two
blind men, crying [34] out, and
saying, Have
mercy on us,
thou son of
David.
926
And when he came to the
house, those two
blind
men came to him: and
Jesus said unto them, Believe ye [35] that I
am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, our
Lord.
927
Then he touched
928
| 928 Lit. went
forward to (cf. § 8, 17, note). |
[36]
their
eyes, and said, As ye have believed, it shall be unto you.
929
And immediately their
eyes were opened.
And
Jesus forbade them, and said, See that no man know. [37]
930
But they went out and
published the news in
all that
land.
[38] 931
And when
Jesus went
out, they brought to him a
dumb man having a
devil. [39]
932
And on the going out of the
devil that
dumb
man spake. And the multitudes marvelled, and said, It was never
so seen in
Israel
[40] 933
And
Jesus was going
about in all the cities and
in the
villages, and teaching in
their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the
kingdom, and
healing every
disease [41] [Arabic, p. 49] and sickness; and many
followed him.
934
And when
Jesus saw the
multitudes, he had
compassion on them, for they were wearied and
scattered,
935
| 935 Lit. cast
away (cf. meanings of Syriac word). |
as
sheep [42] that
have no
shepherd.
936
And he called his
twelve
disciples, and gave them
power and [43] much
authority over all
devils and
diseases;
937
and sent them two and
two, that they [44] might
proclaim the
kingdom of
God, and
to
heal the
sick.
938
And he charged them,
and said,
Walk not in the way of the
heathen, nor enter into the cities
of the Samaritans.
939
| 939 § 34, 40, shows
that this Arabic form may be so translated. |
[45, 46]
940
Go especially unto the
sheep that are lost of
the sons of
Israel.
941
And [47] when ye go,
proclaim and say, The
kingdom of
heaven is come near.
942
And
heal the
sick, and cleanse the
lepers, and
cast out the
devils: freely ye have received, freely [48, 49]
give.
943
Get you not
gold, nor
silver, nor
brass in your purses;
944
and take nothing
for the way, except a
staff only; nor
bag, nor
bread; neither shall ye
have two tunics, [50] nor shoes, nor
staff, but be shod with
sandals;
945
for the labourer is worthy of his
food.
[51]
946
And whatever city or
village ye enter, inquire
who is worthy in it, and there be until [52, 53] ye go out.
947
And when ye enter into the
house, ask for the
peace of the
house: and if the
house is worthy, your
peace shall
come upon it;
948
but if it is not
worthy, your [54]
peace shall return unto you.
949
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear
your sayings, when ye go out from that
house, or from that
village,
shake off the
dust [55] [Arabic, p. 50] that is under your
feet against
them for a
testimony.
950
And verily I say unto
you, To the land of Sodom and Gomorrah there shall be rest in the day
of judgement, rather than to that city.
