  Luke   chapter 8

   1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went
  throughout every city and village, preaching and
  shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and
  the twelve were with him,
   2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil
  spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out
  of whom went seven devils,
   3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and
  Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him
  of their substance.
   4 And when much people were gathered together, and
  were come to him out of every city, he spake by a
  parable:
   5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed,
  some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down,
  and the fowls of the air devoured it.
   6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was
  sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked
  moisture.
   7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang
  up with it, and choked it.
   8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and
  bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these
  things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him
  hear.
   9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might
  this parable be?
  10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the
  mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in
  parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing
  they might not understand.
  11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of
  God.
  12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then
  cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of
  their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
  13 They 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.
  14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which,
  when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with
  cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and
  bring no fruit to perfection.
  15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an
  honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep
  it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
  16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it
  with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth
  it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see
  the light.
  17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made
  manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be
  known and come abroad.
  18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever
  hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not,
  from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to
  have.
  19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and
  could not come at him for the press.
  20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy
  mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to
  see thee.
  21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and
  my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and
  do it.
  22 Now 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 the lake.
  And they launched forth.
  23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came
  down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were
  filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
  24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying,
  Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked
  the wind and the raging of the water: and they
  ceased, and there was a calm.
  25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And
  they being afraid wondered, saying one to another,
  What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even
  the winds and water, and they obey him.
  26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes,
  which is over against Galilee.
  27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out
  of the city a certain man, which had devils long
  time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any
  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 have I
  to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I
  beseech thee, torment me not.
  29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come
  out of the man. For 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.)
  30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And
  he said, Legion: because many devils were entered
  into him.
  31 And they besought him that he would not command
  them to go out into the deep.
  32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding
  on the mountain: and they besought him that he would
  suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
  33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered
  into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a
  steep place into the lake, and were choked.
  34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they
  fled, and went and told it in the city and in the
  country.
  35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came
  to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils
  were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed,
  and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
  36 They also which saw it told them by what means he
  that was possessed of the devils was healed.
  37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the
  Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from
  them; for they were taken with great fear: and he
  went up into the ship, and returned back again.
  38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed
  besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus
  sent him away, saying,
  39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great
  things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way,
  and published throughout the whole city how great
  things Jesus had done unto him.
  40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was
  returned, the people gladly received him: for they
  were all waiting for him.
  41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he
  was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at
  Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into
  his house:
  42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years
  of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the
  people thronged him.
  43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years,
  which had spent all her living upon physicians,
  neither could be healed of any,
  44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his
  garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
  45 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?
  46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I
  perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
  47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she
  came trembling, and falling down before him, she
  declared unto him before all the people for what
  cause she had touched him, and how she was healed
  immediately.
  48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good
  comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
  49 While 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.
  50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying,
  Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
  51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no
  man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and
  the father and the mother of the maiden.
  52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep
  not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
  53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she
  was dead.
  54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand,
  and called, saying, Maid, arise.
  55 And her spirit came again, and she arose
  straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
  56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged
  them that they should tell no man what was done.
