1. Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve,
2. and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;
3. and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who served them from their possessions.
4. When a great multitude came together and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable:
5. “The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6. Some seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7. Some fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
8. Some fell into the good ground and grew and produced one hundred times as much fruit.”As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
9. Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
10. He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
11. “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12. Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
13. Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
14. What fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life; and they bring no fruit to maturity.
15. Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.
16. “No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
17. For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
18. Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”
19. His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
20. Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”
21. But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
22. Now on one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.”So they launched out.
23. But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
24. They came to him and awoke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are dying!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; then they ceased, and it was calm.
25. He said to them, “Where is your faith?”Being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, “Who is this then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
26. Then they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27. When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a house, but in the tombs.
28. When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!”
29. For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
30. Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
31. They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.
32. Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. Then he allowed them.
33. The demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
34. When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35. People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36. Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
37. All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. Then he entered into the boat and returned.
38. But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39. “Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.”He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40. When Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41. Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come into his house,
42. for he had an only born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
43. A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any,
44. came behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak. Immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
45. Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46. But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”
47. When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48. He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49. While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.”
50. But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.”
51. When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
52. All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”
53. They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
54. But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”
55. Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
56. Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.

1. Ensuite Jésus cheminait par les villes et par les villages, prêchant et annonçant la bonne nouvelle du royaume de Dieu. Les Douze étaient avec lui,
2. ainsi que quelques femmes qui avaient été guéries d’esprits malins et de maladies : Marie, dite de Magdala, de laquelle étaient sortis sept démons ;
3. Jeanne, femme de Chusa, intendant d’Hérode, Suzanne et plusieurs autres, qui l’assistaient de leurs biens.
4. Une grande foule s’étant amassée, et des gens étant venus à lui de diverses villes, Jésus dit en parabole :
5. « Le semeur sortit pour répandre sa semence ; et pendant qu’il semait, une partie tomba le long du chemin, et elle fut foulée aux pieds, et les oiseaux du ciel la mangèrent.
6. Une autre partie tomba sur la pierre, et, aussitôt levée, elle sécha, parce qu’elle n’avait pas d’humidité.
7. Une autre partie tomba parmi les épines, et les épines croissant avec elle l’étouffèrent.
8. Une autre partie tomba dans la bonne terre, et ayant levé, elle donna du fruit au centuple. » Parlant ainsi, il disait à haute voix : « Que celui qui a des oreilles entende bien. »
9. Ses disciples lui demandèrent ce que signifiait cette parabole :
10. « À vous, leur dit-il, il a été donné de connaître le mystère du royaume de Dieu, tandis qu’aux autres, il est annoncéen paraboles, de sorte qu’en voyant ils ne voient pas, et qu’en entendant ils ne comprennent pas.
11. Voici ce que signifie cette parabole : La semence, c’est la parole de Dieu.
12. Ceux qui sont le long du chemin, ce sont ceux qui entendent la parole ; mais ensuite le démon vient, et l’enlève de leur cœur, de peur qu’ils ne croient et ne soient sauvés.
13. Ceux en qui on sème sur la pierre, ce sont ceux qui, entendant la parole, la reçoivent avec joie ; mais ils n’ont pas de racine : ils croient pour un temps, et ils succombent à l’heure de la tentation.
14. Ce qui est tombé sur les épines, représente ceux qui, ayant entendu la parole, se laissent peu à peu étouffer par les soucis, les richesses et les plaisirs de la vie, et ils n’arrivent pas à maturité.
15. Enfin, ce qui est tombé dans la bonne terre, représente ceux qui, ayant entendu la parole avec un cœur bon et excellent, la gardent, et portent du fruit par la constance.
16. Il n’est personne qui, après avoir allumé une lampe, la couvre d’un vase, ou la mette sous un lit ; mais on la met sur un chandelier, afin que ceux qui entrent voient la lumière.
17. Car il n’y a rien de caché qui ne se découvre, rien de secret qui ne finisse par être connu et ne vienne au grand jour.
18. Prenez donc garde à la manière dont vous écoutez ; car on donnera à celui qui a ; et à celui qui n’a pas, on ôtera même ce qu’il croit avoir. »
19. La mère et les frères de Jésus vinrent le trouver, mais ils ne purent pénétrer jusqu’à lui à cause de la foule.
20. On vint lui dire : « Ta mère et tes frères sont là dehors, et ils désirent te voir. »
21. Il leur répondit : « Ma mère et mes frères sont ceux qui écoutent la parole de Dieu et qui la mettent en pratique. »
22. Un jour, il arriva que Jésus monta dans une barque avec ses disciples, et leur dit : « Passons de l’autre côté du lac. » Et ils se mirent en mer.
23. Pendant qu’ils naviguaient, il s’endormit ; et un tourbillon de vent s’étant abattu sur le lac, leur barque s’emplissait d’eau, et ils étaient en péril.
24. S’approchant donc, ils le réveillèrent en disant : « Maître ! Maître ! nous périssons ! » S’étant levé, il réprimanda le vent et les flots agités, et ils s’apaisèrent, et le calme se fit.
25. Puis il leur dit : « Où est votre foi ? » Saisis de crainte et d’étonnement, ils se disaient les uns aux autres : « Quel est donc celui-ci, qui commande au vent et à la mer, et ils lui obéissent ? »
26. Ils abordèrent ensuite au pays des Géraséniens, qui est vis-à-vis de la Galilée.
27. Lorsque Jésus fut descendu à terre, il vint au-devant de lui un homme de la ville, qui était depuis longtemps possédé des démons, il ne portait aucun vêtement et n’avait pas d’autre habitation que les sépulcres.
28. Aussitôt qu’il eut aperçu Jésus, il poussa des cris et vint se prosterner à ses pieds, disant à haute voix : « Qu’as-tu à faire avec moi, Jésus, Fils de Dieu, Très-Haut ? De grâce, ne me tourmentes pas. »
29. En effet, Jésus commandait à l’esprit impur de sortir de cet homme. Bien des fois en effet l’esprit s’en était emparé, et quoiqu’on le gardât lié de chaînes et de fers aux pieds, il rompait ses liens, et le démon le chassait dans les lieux déserts.
30. Jésus lui demanda : « Quel est ton nom ? » Il lui dit : « Je m’appelle Légion » ; car beaucoup de démons étaient entrés en lui.
31. Et ces démons priaient Jésus de ne pas leur commander d’aller dans l’abîme.
32. Or, il y avait là un nombreux troupeau de porcs qui paissaient sur la montagne ; ils le prièrent de leur permettre d’y entrer, et il le leur permit.
33. Sortant donc de cet homme ils entrèrent dans les pourceaux ; et le troupeau, prenant sa course, se précipita par les pentes escarpées dans le lac, et s’y noya.
34. À cette vue, les gardiens s’enfuirent, et en portèrent la nouvelle dans la ville et dans la campagne.
35. Les habitants sortirent pour voir ce qui était arrivé : ils vinrent à Jésus, et trouvèrent l’homme de qui les démons étaient sortis, assis à ses pieds, vêtu et sain d’esprit ; et ils furent remplis de frayeur.
36. Ceux qui en avaient été témoins leur racontèrent aussi comment le démoniaque avait été délivré.
37. Alors tous les habitants du pays des Géraséniens le prièrent de s’éloigner d’eux, parce qu’ils étaient saisis d’une grande crainte. Jésus monta donc dans la barque pour s’en retourner.
38. Or, l’homme de qui les démons étaient sortis le priait de l’admettre à sa suite ; mais Jésus le renvoya en disant :
39. « Retourne dans ta maison, et raconte tout ce que Dieu a fait pour toi. » Et il s’en alla et publia par toute la ville, ce que Jésus avait fait pour lui.
40. Jésus, à son retour, fut accueilli par le peuple, car tous l’attendaient.
41. Et voilà qu’un homme appelé Jaïre, lequel était chef de la synagogue, vint se jeter aux pieds de Jésus, le priant d’entrer dans sa maison,
42. parce qu’il avait une fille unique, d’environ douze ans, qui se mourait.
43. une femme affligée d’un flux de sang depuis douze ans, et qui avait dépensé tout son bien en médecins, sans qu’aucun eût pu la guérir,
44. s’approcha de lui par derrière et toucha la houppe de son manteau. À l’instant son flux de sang s’arrêta.
45. Et Jésus dit : « Qui m’a touché ? » Tous s’en défendant, Pierre et ceux qui étaient avec lui dirent : « Maître, la foule t’entoure et te presse, et tu demandes : Qui m’a touché ? »
46. Mais Jésus dit : « Quelqu’un m’a touché, car j’ai senti qu’une force était sortie de moi. »
47. Se voyant découverte, la femme vint toute tremblante se jeter à ses pieds, et raconta devant tout le peuple pourquoi elle l’avait touché, et comment elle avait été guérie à l’instant.
48. Et Jésus lui dit : « Ma fille , ta foi t’a sauvée ; va en paix. »
49. Comme il parlait encore, quelqu’un de chez le chef de la synagogue vint lui dire : « Ta fille est morte, ne fatigue pas le Maître. »
50. Jésus ayant entendu cette parole, répondit au père : « Ne crains pas ; crois seulement, et elle sera sauvée. »
51. Arrivé à la maison, il ne laissa personne entrer avec lui, si ce n’est Pierre, Jacques et Jean, avec le père et la mère de l’enfant.
52. Or tous pleuraient et se lamentaient sur elle, et Jésus dit : « Ne pleurez pas ; elle n’est pas morte, mais elle dort. »
53. Et ils se moquaient de lui, sachant bien qu’elle était morte.
54. Mais lui, la prenant par la main, dit à haute voix : « Enfant, lève-toi »
55. Et son esprit revint en elle, et elle se leva à l’instant ; et Jésus ordonna de lui donner à manger.
56. Ses parents furent dans le ravissement, mais il leur recommanda de ne dire à personne ce qui était arrivé.

1. Et factum est deinceps, et ipse iter faciebat per civitates, et castella prædicans, et evangelizans regnum Dei: et duodecim cum illo,
2. et mulieres aliquæ, quæ erant curatæ a spiritibus malignis et infirmatibus: Maria, quæ vocatur Magdalene, de qua septem dæmonia exierant,
3. et Joanna uxor Chusæ procuratoris Herodis, et Susanna, et aliæ multæ, quæ ministrabant ei de facultatibus suis.
4. Cum autem turba plurima convenirent, et de civitatibus properarent ad eum, dixit per similitudinem:
5. Exiit qui seminat, seminare semen suum. Et dum seminat, aliud cecidit secus viam, et conculcatum est, et volucres cæli comederunt illud.
6. Et aliud cecidit supra petram: et natum aruit, quia non habebat humorem.
7. Et aliud cecidit inter spinas, et simul exortæ spinæ suffocaverunt illud.
8. Et aliud cecidit in terram bonam: et ortum fecit fructum centuplum. Hæc dicens clamabat: Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
9. Interrogabant autem eum discipuli ejus, quæ esset hæc parabola.
10. Quibus ipse dixit: Vobis datum est nosse mysterium regni Dei, ceteris autem in parabolis: ut videntes non videant, et audientes non intelligant.
11. Est autem hæc parabola: Semen est verbum Dei.
12. Qui autem secus viam, hi sunt qui audiunt: deinde venit diabolus, et tollit verbum de corde eorum, ne credentes salvi fiant.
13. Nam qui supra petram, qui cum audierint, cum gaudio suscipiunt verbum: et hi radices non habent: qui ad tempus credunt, et in tempore tentationis recedunt.
14. Quod autem in spinas cecidit: hi sunt qui audierunt, et a sollicitudinibus, et divitiis, et voluptatibus vitæ euntes, suffocantur, et non referunt fructum.
15. Quod autem in bonam terram: hi sunt qui in corde bono et optimo audientes verbum retinent, et fructum afferunt in patientia.
16. Nemo autem lucernam accendens, operit eam vase, aut subtus lectum ponit: sed supra candelabrum ponit, ut intrantes videant lumen.
17. Non est enim occultum, quod non manifestetur: nec absconditum, quod non cognoscatur, et in palam veniat.
18. Videte ergo quomodo audiatis? Qui enim habet, dabitur illi: et quicumque non habet, etiam quod putat se habere, auferetur ab illo.
19. Venerunt autem ad illum mater et fratres ejus, et non poterant adire eum præ turba.
20. Et nuntiatum est illi: Mater tua et fratres tui stant foris, volentes te videre.
21. Qui respondens, dixit ad eos: Mater mea et fratres mei hi sunt, qui verbum Dei audiunt et faciunt.
22. Factum est autem in una dierum: et ipse ascendit in naviculam, et discipuli ejus, et ait ad illos: Transfretemus trans stagnum. Et ascenderunt.
23. Et navigantibus illis, obdormivit, et descendit procella venti in stagnum, et complebantur, et periclitabantur.
24. Accedentes autem suscitaverunt eum, dicentes: Præceptor, perimus. At ille surgens, increpavit ventum, et tempestatem aquæ, et cessavit: et facta est tranquillitas.
25. Dixit autem illis: Ubi est fides vestra? Qui timentes, mirati sunt ad invicem, dicentes: Quis putas hic est, quia et ventis, et mari imperat, et obediunt ei?
26. Et navigaverunt ad regionem Gerasenorum, quæ est contra Galilæam.
27. Et cum egressus esset ad terram, occurrit illi vir quidam, qui habebat dæmonium jam temporibus multis, et vestimento non induebatur, neque in domo manebat, sed in monumentis.
28. Is, ut vidit Jesum, procidit ante illum: et exclamans voce magna, dixit: Quid mihi et tibi est, Jesu Fili Dei Altissimi? obsecro te, ne me torqueas.
29. Præcipiebat enim spiritui immundo ut exiret ab homine. Multis enim temporibus arripiebat illum, et vinciebatur catenis, et compedibus custoditus. Et ruptis vinculis agebatur a dæmonio in deserta.
30. Interrogavit autem illum Jesus, dicens: Quod tibi nomen est? At ille dixit: Legio: quia intraverant dæmonia multa in eum.
31. Et rogabant illum ne imperaret illis ut in abyssum irent.
32. Erat autem ibi grex porcorum multorum pascentium in monte: et rogabant eum, ut permitteret eis in illos ingredi. Et permisit illis.
33. Exierunt ergo dæmonia ab homine, et intraverunt in porcos: et impetu abiit grex per præceps in stagnum, et suffocatus est.
34. Quod ut viderunt factum qui pascebant, fugerunt, et nuntiaverunt in civitatem et in villas.
35. Exierunt autem videre quod factum est, et venerunt ad Jesum, et invenerunt hominem sedentem, a quo dæmonia exierant, vestitum ac sana mente, ad pedes ejus, et timuerunt.
36. Nuntiaverunt autem illis et qui viderant, quomodo sanus factus esset a legione:
37. et rogaverunt illum omnis multitudo regionis Gerasenorum ut discederet ab ipsis: quia magno timore tenebantur. Ipse autem ascendens navim, reversus est.
38. Et rogabat illum vir, a quo dæmonia exierant, ut cum eo esset. Dimisit autem eum Jesus, dicens:
39. Redi in domum tuam, et narra quanta tibi fecit Deus. Et abiit per universam civitatem, prædicans quanta illi fecisset Jesus.
40. Factum est autem cum rediisset Jesus, excepit illum turba: erunt enim omnes exspectantes eum.
41. Et ecce venit vir, cui nomen Jairus, et ipse princeps synagogæ erat: et cecidit ad pedes Jesu, rogans eum ut intraret in domum ejus,
42. quia unica filia erat ei fere annorum duodecim, et hæc moriebatur. Et contigit, dum iret, a turba comprimebatur.
43. Et mulier quædam erat in fluxu sanguinis ab annis duodecim, quæ in medicos erogaverat omnem substantiam suam, nec ab ullo potuit curari:
44. accessit retro, et tetigit fimbriam vestimenti ejus: et confestim stetit fluxus sanguinis ejus.
45. Et ait Jesus: Quis est, qui me tetigit? Negantibus autem omnibus, dixit Petrus, et qui cum illo erant: Præceptor, turbæ te comprimunt, et affligunt, et dicis: Quis me tetigit?
46. Et dicit Jesus: Tetigit me aliquis: nam ego novi virtutem de me exiisse.
47. Videns autem mulier, quia non latuit, tremens venit, et procidit ante pedes ejus: et ob quam causam tetigerit eum, indicavit coram omni populo: et quemadmodum confestim sanata sit.
48. At ipse dixit ei: Filia, fides tua salvam te fecit: vade in pace.
49. Adhuc illo loquente, venit quidam ad principem synagogæ, dicens ei: Quia mortua est filia tua, noli vexare illum.
50. Jesus autem, audito hoc verbo, respondit patri puellæ: Noli timere, crede tantum, et salva erit.
51. Et cum venisset domum, non permisit intrare secum quemquam, nisi Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem, et patrem, et matrem puellæ.
52. Flebant autem omnes, et plangebant illam. At ille dixit: Nolite flere: non est mortua puella, sed dormit.
53. Et deridebant eum, scientes quod mortua esset.
54. Ipse autem tenens manum ejus clamavit, dicens: Puella, surge.
55. Et reversus est spiritus ejus, et surrexit continuo. Et jussit illi dari manducare.
56. Et stupuerunt parentes ejus, quibus præcepit ne alicui dicerent quod factum erat.
