20 multitude. And it was told him, saying: Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to 21 see thee. And he answered and said to them: My mother and my brothers are these, who hear and do the word of God.

22

And it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples. And he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. 23 And they launched forth. And as they sailed, he fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they began to be filled, and were 24 in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying: Master, Master, we perish. And he, rising, rebuked the wind and the raging of the wa25 ter; and they ceased, and there was a calm. And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they, fearing, wondered; saying one to another: Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him!

26

And they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, 27 which is over against Galilee. And when he went forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had devils a long time, and wore no clothing, and abode not in a house, but in the 28 tombs. And seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high 29 God? I beseech thee, do not torment me. For he commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the

man. For of a long time it had seized him, and he was bound, being secured with chains and fetters; and bursting the bands, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? 30 And he said, Legion; because many devils had entered into him. And he besought him that he 31 would not command them to go away into the deep. And there was there a herd of many swine feeding 32 in the mountain; and they besought him that he would permit them to enter into them. And he' permitted them. And going out of the man, the 33 devils entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were choked. And seeing what was done the herdsmen fled, and 34 reported it in the city and in the country. And 35 they went out to see what was done; and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, from whom the devils had gone out, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid. They 36 also who saw it reported to them how he that was possessed by devils was healed. And the whole mul- 37 titude of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear.

And he, entering into the ship, returned. And 38 the man, out of whom the devils had gone, besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying: Return to thy house, and relate how 39

great things God has done for thee. And he departed, and published through the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him.

40 And it came to pass, when Jesus returned, that

the multitude received him; for they were all 41 waiting for him. And, behold, there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he be42 sought him that he would come into his house; for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went the multitude thronged him.

43 And a woman having a flow of blood twelve

years, who had spent all her living on physicians, 44 and could not be healed by any one, came up be

hind, and touched the fringe of his garment; and 45 immediately her flow of blood ceased. And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied it, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes throng thee and press thee, and sayest 46 thou, Who is it that touched me? And Jesus said, Some one touched me; for I perceived that power has gone out from me.

47. And the woman, seeing that she was not concealed, came trembling, and falling down before him, declared before all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 48 And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith has made thee whole; go in peace.

While he was yet speaking, there comes one from 49 the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him : Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher. But Jesus hearing it, answered him: Fear not; 50 only believe, and she shall be restored.

And entering into the house, he suffered no one 51 to go in with him, save Peter and James and John, and the father of the maiden, and the mother. And 52 all were weeping and bewailing her. And he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they 53 laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. And he, taking hold of her by the hand, called, say- 54 ing: Maiden, arise, And her spirit returned, and 55 she immediately arose; and he commanded that food should be given her. And her parents were aston- 56 ished. But he charged them to tell no one what was done.

IX. AND having called the twelve together, he 1 gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the 2 kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And he 3 said to them: Take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats apiece. And into whatever house ye enter, 4 there abide, and thence depart. And whoever will 5 not receive you, when ye go out from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

And going forth, they went through the villages, publishing the good news, and healing every where.

And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things that were done. And he was perplexed, because it was said by some, that John had risen from the 8 dead; and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets had risen 9 again. And Herod said: John have I beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

10

And the apostles, returning, related to him all that they had done. And taking them with him, 11 he retired privately to a city called Bethsaida. And the multitudes, when they knew it, followed him. And he received them, and spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

12

And the day began to decline. And the twelve came, and said to him: Dismiss the multitude, that they may go into the villages around, and the fields, and lodge, and find food; for here we are in a desert 13 place. And he said to them, Do ye give them to eat. And they said: We have not more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy 14 food for all this people. For they were about five

thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make 15 them lie down in companies of fifty. And they did 16 so, and made them all lie down. And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven
