Luke 8 ©
1 Christ preacheth through the cities, attended by his disciples, and ministered unto by devout women of their substance. 4 The parable of the sower. 9 Why Christ taught in parables. 11 The parable expounded. 16 Light is given to be improved and communicated. 19 Christ sheweth whom he regardeth as his nearest relations: 22 stilleth a tempest on the sea with his word: 26 casteth out the legion of devils, and suffereth them to enter into the herd of swine: is entreated by the Gadarenes to depart, and sendeth back him that was healed to declare God's goodness: 41 is besought by Jairus to go and heal his daughter: 43 by the way he healeth a woman of an inveterate issue of blood: 49 he raiseth Jairus' daughter to life.
AND it came to pass afterward, athat he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the btwelve were with him,
And ccertain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
And dJoanna the wife of Chuza eHerod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which fministered unto him of their substance.
¶gAnd when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
And some fell upon ka rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
And other fell on mgood ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he ncried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
rNow the parable is this: The sseed is the word of God.
vThey on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
yBut that on the good ground are they, which zin an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with apatience.
dTake heed therefore how ye hear: efor whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he 1seemeth to have.
¶fThen came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the *press.
And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand *without, desiring to see thee.
¶hNow it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of ithe lake. And they launched forth.
And they came to him, and lawoke him, saying, mMaster, master, we perish. nThen he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
And he said unto them, oWhere is your faith? And they pbeing afraid wondered, saying one to another, What *manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
¶qAnd they arrived at the country of the rGadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
w(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. xFor oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in *fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, *Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
¶Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about ibesought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
¶nAnd, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a oruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and pbesought him that he would come into his house:
¶sAnd a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had tspent all her living upon uphysicians, vneither could be healed of any,
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
aAnd when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came btrembling, and cfalling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
And he said unto her, dDaughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath emade thee whole; go in peace.
¶fWhile he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
And when he came into the house, hhe suffered no man to go in, i*save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
