Mark 5:11-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. And in that place, near the mountain, there was a great herd of swine, feeding.

12. And the spirits entreated him, saying: "Send us into the swine, so that we may enter into them."

13. And Jesus promptly gave them permission. And the unclean spirits, departing, entered into the swine. And the herd of about two thousand rushed down with great force into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.

14. Then those who pastured them fled, and they reported it in the city and in the countryside. And they all went out to see what was happening.

15. And they came to Jesus. And they saw the man who had been troubled by the demon, sitting, clothed and with a sane mind, and they were afraid.

16. And those who had seen it explained to them how he had dealt with the man who had the demon, and about the swine.

17. And they began to petition him, so that he would withdraw from their borders.

18. And as he was climbing into the boat, the man who had been troubled by the demons began to beg him, so that he might be with him.

19. And he did not permit him, but he said to him, "Go to your own people, in your own house, and announce to them how great are the things that Lord has done for you, and how he has taken pity on you."

20. And he went away and began to preach in the Ten Cities, how great were the things that Jesus had done for him. And everyone wondered.

21. And when Jesus had crossed in the boat, over the strait again, a great crowd came together before him. And he was near the sea.

22. And one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus, approached. And seeing him, he fell prostrate at his feet.

23. And he beseeched him greatly, saying: "For my daughter is near the end. Come and lay your hand on her, so that she may be healthy and may live."

24. And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him, and they pressed upon him.

25. And there was a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years.
