29. For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.)
30. Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him.
31. And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss.
32. Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission.
33. Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
34. When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35. Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.
36. And those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37. Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned.
38. The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39. “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.
40. Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41. And there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus’ feet, he implored him to come to his house,
42. for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying.As Jesus went, the people pressed around him.
43. And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone.
44. She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased.
45. And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!”
46. But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.”
47. And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.
