Section XII.
And all the multitude of the Gadarenes entreated him to depart from them, because that great fear took hold upon them.
[2, 3]But Jesus went up into the ship, and crossed, and came to his city.And that man from whom the devils went out entreated that he might stay with him; but Jesus sent him away, and said unto him,Return to thy house, and make known what God hath done for thee.And he went, and began to publish in Decapolis what Jesus had done for him; and they all marvelled.
[6]And when Jesus had crossed in the ship to that side, a great multitude received him; and they were all looking for him.And a man named Jairus, the chief of the synagogue, fell before the feet of Jesus,and besought him much, and said unto him, I have an only daughter, and she is come nigh unto death;but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.And Jesus rose, and his disciples, and they followed him.And there joined him a great multitude, and they pressed him.
[11, 12]And a woman, which had a flow of blood for twelve years,had suffered much of many physicians, and spent all that she had, and was not benefited at all, but her trouble increased further.  And when she heard of Jesus, she came in the thronging of [Arabic, p. 47] the crowd behind him, and touched his garments;and she thought within herself, If I could reach to touch his garments, I should live.And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.And Jesus straightway knew within himself that power had gone out of him; and he turned to the crowd, and said, Who approached unto my garments?  And on their denying, all of them, Simon Cephas and those with him said unto him, Our Master, the multitudes throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who approached unto me?And he said, Some one approached unto me; and I knew that power went forth from me.And that woman, when she saw that she was not hid from him, came fearing and agitated (for she knew what had happened to her),and fell down and worshipped him, and told, in the presence of all the people, for what reason she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.And Jesus said unto her, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith hath made thee alive; depart in peace, and be whole from thy plague.
[22]And while he was yet speaking, there came a man from the house of the chief of the synagogue, and said unto him, Thy daughter hath died; so trouble not the [23] teacher.But Jesus heard, and said unto the father of the maid, Fear not: but believe [24] only, and she shall live.And he suffered no man to go with him, except Simon Cephas, and James, and John the brother of James.And they reached the house of the chief of the synagogue; and he saw them agitated, weeping and wailing.And he entered, and said unto them, Why are ye agitated and weeping? the [Arabic, p. 48] maid hath not died, but she is sleeping.  And they laughed at him, for they knew that she had died.And he put every man forth without, and took the father of the maid, and her mother, and Simon, and James, and John, and entered into the place where the maid was laid.And he took hold of the hand of the maid, and said unto her, Maid, arise.And her spirit returned, and straightway she arose and walked:and she was about twelve years of age.And he commanded that there should be given to her something to eat.  And her father wondered greatly:  and he warned them that they should tell no man what had happened.And this report spread in all that land.
[33]And when Jesus crossed over from there, there joined him two blind men, crying [34] out, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou son of David.And when he came to the house, those two blind men came to him: and Jesus said unto them, Believe ye [35] that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, our Lord.  Then he touched [36] their eyes, and said, As ye have believed, it shall be unto you.  And immediately their eyes were opened.  And Jesus forbade them, and said, See that no man know. [37] But they went out and published the news in all that land.
[38]And when Jesus went out, they brought to him a dumb man having a devil. [39] And on the going out of the devil that dumb man spake. And the multitudes marvelled, and said, It was never so seen in Israel
[40]And Jesus was going about in all the cities and in the villages, and teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease [41] [Arabic, p. 49] and sickness; and many followed him.And when Jesus saw the multitudes, he had compassion on them, for they were wearied and scattered, as sheep [42] that have no shepherd.And he called his twelve disciples, and gave them power and [43] much authority over all devils and diseases;and sent them two and two, that they [44] might proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.And he charged them, and said, Walk not in the way of the heathen, nor enter into the cities of the Samaritans. [45, 46] Go especially unto the sheep that are lost of the sons of Israel.And when ye go, proclaim and say, The kingdom of heaven is come near.And heal the sick, and cleanse the lepers, and cast out the devils: freely ye have received, freely [48, 49] give.Get you not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;and take nothing for the way, except a staff only; nor bag, nor bread; neither shall ye have two tunics, nor shoes, nor staff, but be shod with sandals; for the labourer is worthy of his food.  And whatever city or village ye enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and there be until [52, 53] ye go out.  And when ye enter into the house, ask for the peace of the house: and if the house is worthy, your peace shall come upon it;but if it is not worthy, your peace shall return unto you.And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your sayings, when ye go out from that house, or from that village, shake off the dust [Arabic, p. 50] that is under your feet against them for a testimony.And verily I say unto you, To the land of Sodom and Gomorrah there shall be rest in the day of judgement, rather than to that city.
