Not even with a chain could any man bind him, for he had been bound with fetters and chains again and again, and had snapped the chains, and broken the fetters; and there was no one strong enough to master him. And always, night and day, he remained among the tombs and in the mountains, shrieking and gashing himself with stones. As he caught sight of Jesus from afar, he ran and knelt before him, and with a shriek he cried out in a loud voice. "Jesus, son of God most high, what business have you with me? I adjure you by God, torment me not!" For Jesus was saying, "Foul spirit, come out of the man." He continued asking him, "What is your mane?" "Legion is my name, for we are many." Over and over he continued to beg Jesus not to send them away out of the country. Now there was on the hillside a great drove of swine feeding. So the spirits begged him, saying, "Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them." And he gave them leave. And out came the foul spirits and entered the swine; and the drove rushed down from the steep into the sea, in number about two thousand, and were choked in the sea. On this the swineherds ran away and spread the news in town and country. So the people went to see what had happened. When they got to Jesus they found the demoniac sitting there clothed and in his right mind??he man who had had the "Legion"??nd they were awestruck. And those who had been eye-witnesses told them what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine. Then they began to beg Jesus to depart from their district. As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging to go with him; but he said, "Go home to your own people, and tell them what great things God has done for you, and has had mercy upon you." So he went and began to publish abroad in the District of the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and every one was astonished and all men marveled.

"What have we to do with you, Jesus, you son of God Most High? I implore you to torment me not!"read more.
For Jesus was already commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him and held him, and they again and again kept him under guard, and put him in chains and fetters. But he would break his bonds asunder, as he was driven by the demon in to the desert. So Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he answered, "Legion" (for many demons had entered into him). So they besought Jesus not to command them to go away into the abyss. Now there was a great herd of swine feeding on the hillside, and the demons begged him to give them leave to enter them. He gave them leave. The demons came out of the man, and entered into the swine; the herd rushed violently down over the cliff into the lake. And those who saw what had happened fled and reported it in the town and the villages. Then the people came out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the demons had gone sitting clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus. And they were terrified. Then those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been saved. And the whole populace of Gadarenes and the surrounding territory besought Jesus to go away from them; for they were terror-stricken. So he entered a boat and returned. But the man out of whom the demons had gone kept begging him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away saying, "Return to your home, and tell them all that God has done for you." So he went away and throughout the whole city he published how much Jesus had done for him.

then looking up to heaven with a sigh, he said to him, "Ephphatha!" (that is, "Be opened.") And his ears were opened and the bond of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly.

Even the deaf he makes to hear, and the dumb to speak."

And here they brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Courage, son, your sins are forgiven." And behold! certain scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming." And because Jesus knew well their thought, he said:read more.

But all the crowd were awestruck, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.

While he was speaking his message, they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four men. When they could not get him near to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof under which he stood, and after making an opening, they let down the cot on which the paralytic was lying. Then Jesus, when he perceived their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son your sins are forgiven."read more.
But there were some Scribes sitting there who reasoned in their hearts. "Why does this man speak like this? He blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins but One, God himself?" Jesus clearly perceived at once be the Spirit that they were thus reasoning in their hearts and said to them. "Why do you reason thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your cot and walk'? But to let you see that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"??e said to the paralytic??11 "I bid you rise, take up your cot, and go home." The man rose, at once took up his cot, and went out before them all; at which they were all astounded, and gave God glory, saying, "We never saw anything like this."

And behold there came men carrying a paralytic on a bed; and they tried to bring him and lay him before Jesus, but they could not because of the crowd.

And the Scribes and Pharisees began to cavil. "Who is this?" they asked, "speaking blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?" Conscious of their cavilings, Jesus answered, saying. "What is this caviling in your hearts? Which is easier to say, "Your sins are forgiven," or to say, "Rise and walk?" But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to the paralytic), "I bid you rise, take up your bed, and go to your house." And instantly he arose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and went away to his house, glorifying God. Astonishment fell upon them all, and they began to glorify God, and they were filled with awe, and they said, "We have seen strange things today."

OMITTED TEXT. And there was one man there for thirty-eight years in his infirmity. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to get well?" "Sir," answered the sick man, "I have no man to put me into the pool whenever the water is troubled; and while I am trying to come, some one else steps down before me." "Rise," said Jesus, "take up your bed and go walking away." Instantly the man became well, and he took up his bed and started to walk. Now it was Sabbath on that day; so the Jews kept saying to the man who had been cured. "It is the Sabbath Day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed." He replied, "The man who healed me told me to take up my bed and walk." "Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, 'take up your bed and go walking away'?" But he who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had moved away, as there was a crowd in that place. Afterward Jesus found him in the Temple, and said to him. "Look! You have become well. Do not go on sinning, lest a worse thing befall you."

Now there was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, but was no better; on the contrary, rather grew worse. She had heard about Jesus, so she came in the crowd behind and touched his cloak.read more.
"If I can touch even his clothes," she kept saying to herself, "I shall get well." At once the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her complaint. Jesus, instantly conscious that the power within him had gone forth, turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my clothes?" "You see the crowd thronging about you," said his disciples, "and yet you say, 'Who touched me?'" But he kept looking about to see who had done it, and the woman knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. "Daughter," he said, "your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be cured of your complaint."

Then they came to Bethsaida, where some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and begged him to touch him. Taking the blind man by the hand, he led him outside the village; and, after spitting on his eyes, he laid his hands on him and asked, "Can you make out anything?" The man looked up and said, "I can make out the people, for as they move about, I see them like trees."read more.
Then Jesus again put his hands on the man's eyes; and the man, staring straight ahead, recovered his sight and continued to see everything perfectly. Then Jesus sent him home, saying, "Do not even go into the village."

Now as he was passing along he saw a man, blind from birth. "Rabbi," his disciples asked him, "who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" "Neither he nor his parents sinned." replied Jesus; "it happened that the works of God might be made manifest in him.read more.

One day a leper cane to him and besought him as he knelt down to him, saying, "If you choose, you are able to cleanse me." Jesus, moved with compassion, put out his hand and touched him, saying, "I do choose, be clean!" The leprosy at once left him, and he was made clean.read more.
Jesus immediately sent him away, charging him sternly and saying. "See you say nothing to any one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification what Moses commanded for a testimony to them."

Another time when he was in one of their cities, there was a man there full of leprosy. And he, upon seeing Jesus, fell on his face and implored him. "Lord," he said, "if only you choose you can make me clean." And he stretched out his hand and touching him, said: "I do choose; be made clean." And instantly the leprosy left him.

"Were there not ten cleansed?" asked Jesus, "but where are the nine? "Are there none found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner?"

Now a man named Lazarus was ill. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha??2 it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. So the sisters sent to him, saying. "Master, see who you hold dear is ill." When Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that through it the Son of God may be glorified."read more.
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. However, when he heard that he was ill, he still remained where he was for two days; then after that he said to his disciples, "Let us go back again to Judea." "Rabbi," answered his disciples, "it was but just now that the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?" Jesus replied. "Are there not twelve hours in the daytime? If any one walks in the daytime he does not stumble, because he beholds the light of this world; but if any one walks during the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him." This he said, then told them, "Lazarus, our friend, has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him." "Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well," replied the disciples. Now Jesus had been speaking concerning his death, but they thought that he was talking about natural sleep. So then he told them plainly. "Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. Come, let us go to him." Upon this Thomas, who was called "The Twin," said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, that we may die with him." so when Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been four days in the tomb. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, only about two miles away; so a number of the Jews had gone to Martha and Mary to sympathize with them concerning their brother. So when Martha learned that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained sitting in the house. Then Martha said to Jesus. "Master, had you been here my brother would not have died; but even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you." Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." Martha answered, "I know that he will rise in the resurrection, at the Last Day." "I am the resurrection and the life," said Jesus. "He who believes in me, even if he has died, shall live. And every one who is living and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" "Yes, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world." With these words she went away to call her sister Mary, saying privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you." So when Mary heard this, she rose quickly and went to meet him. Jesus had not yet arrived in the village, but was still at the place where Martha met him. Then the Jews who were in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there. When Mary came to the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master had you been here, my brother would not have died." Then when Jesus saw her sobbing, and the Jews likewise who accompanied her, sobbing, he shuddered with indignation in his spirit, and was deeply agitated. "Where have you laid him?" he said: "Master, come and see," they answered. Jesus burst into tears. "See how he loved him," said the Jews. But some of them said, "Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of the blind man, have prevented this man also from dying?" Jesus therefore, again shuddering in himself with indignation, came to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone lying upon it. "Roll away the stone," said Jesus. "Master," said Martha, the sister of the dead man "he is offensive by this time, for he has been four days in the tomb." Jesus answered her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you should see the glory of God?" Then they rolled the stone away; and Jesus lifted up his eyes and said: "Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order that they may believe that thou hast sent me." When he had said this he cried with a great voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" Out came the dead man, wrapped hand and foot with grave-clothes, and his face bound up in a napkin. Jesus said to them, "Untie him, and let him go."

While he was still speaking men came from the house of the warden of the synagogue to tell him, "Your daughter is dead, why trouble the Teacher any further?" But Jesus, paying no attention to the remark, said to the warden of the synagogue, "Have no fear, only believe." He would not permit any one to go with him, except Peter and James and John, the brother of James.read more.
As they came to the house of the warden of the synagogue, he gazed upon a tumult, many weeping and wailing shrilly. "Why all this tumult and loud weeping?" he asked. "The child is not dead, but asleep." And they began to laugh him to scorn. Then he put them all outside, took the father and mother of the child and those he brought with him, and entered the room where the child was lying. Then he took the child's hand and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," that is to say, "Little girl, I am speaking to you; arise!" And instantly the little girl stood up, and began to walk, for she was twelve years old, They were at once beside themselves with utter amazement. He, however, repeatedly cautioned them not to let any one know about it, and directed them to give her something to eat.

Soon afterward he went to a city called Nain, accompanied by his disciples, and a great crowd of people. Now when he drew near the gate of the city, behold, they were there carrying out one who was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A great crowd accompanied her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."read more.
And he came near and touched the bier; the bearer stopped and he said, "Young man, I bid you to rise." And he who was dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.

Many signs and wonders continued to be wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles, and by common consent they all would meet in Solomon's Porch, but none of the rest dared to associate with them.

In consequence people would even bring out their sick into the streets, and place them upon beds and pallets as Peter was passing, that at least his shadow might fall upon some of them. The people of the towns near Jerusalem also continued to come in crowds, bringing their sick and those who were harried by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.

One day Peter and John were going up together for the hour of prayer, at three in the afternoon, when a man lame from his birth was carried along, who was wont to be laid each day near the gate of the Temple called the Beautiful Gate, to ask alms of those who were going into the Temple. When he saw Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he kept asking them for alms;read more.
Peter fixed his eyes upon him, as did John, and said, "Look at us." So he waited, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said: "I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have, this I am going to give to you; in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, walk!" Then taking his right hand he lifted him up. Instantly his feet and ankle-bones were strengthened; and leaping forth he stood on his feet, and began to walk, and went with them into the Temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, and recognized that this was the man who used to sit and beg at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, they were filled with awe and amazement at what had happened to him.

God also wrought extraordinary miracles by the hand of Paul; so much so, that handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick; and their diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.

for he has been homesick for you all, and distressed at your having heard of his illness. And indeed he was sick nigh unto death; but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also so that I should not have sorrow upon sorrow.

and the prayer of faith will restore the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, it will be forgiven him. So confess your sins one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. For the fervent prayer of a righteous man is mighty in its working.

"Do not try to stop him," Jesus answered, "for there is no one who performs a miracle in my name who can soon speak evil of me.

"I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have, this I am going to give to you; in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, walk!"

"be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand before you strong and well.

since all have sinned and lack the glory which comes from God;

"It is not those who are well," said Jesus, when he heard this, "but the sick, who need a doctor. "But go and learn what this means, "It is mercy I desire, and not sacrifice; for I am come not to call just men, but sinners."

On hearing this Jesus said to them. "It is not the healthy who need a physician, but the sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Jesus answered them saying. "They who are well have no need of a physician, but they who are ill.
