Marcos 5— comparação

1Eles chegaram ao outro lado do mar, à região dos gadarenos.

2Quando ele saiu do barco, imediatamente um homem com um espírito imundo veio dos sepulcros ao seu encontro.

3Ele vivia nos sepulcros. Ninguém mais conseguia prendê-lo, nem mesmo com correntes,

4porque muitas vezes ele havia sido preso com grilhões e correntes, e as correntes haviam sido despedaçadas por ele, e os grilhões quebrados em pedaços. Ninguém tinha força para domá-lo.

5Sempre, de noite e de dia, nos sepulcros e nos montes, ele andava gritando e cortando-se com pedras.

6Quando ele viu Jesus de longe, correu e prostrou-se diante dele,

7e gritando com alta voz, disse: “Que tenho eu contigo, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Eu te conjuro por Deus, não me atormentes.”

8Pois ele lhe dizia: “Saia do homem, espírito imundo!”

9Ele lhe perguntou: “Qual é o seu nome?”

10Ele lhe implorava muito que não os mandasse para fora da região.

11Ora, ali na encosta do monte havia uma grande manada de porcos pastando.

12Todos os demônios lhe imploraram, dizendo: “Manda-nos para os porcos, para que possamos entrar neles.”

13Imediatamente Jesus lhes deu permissão. Os espíritos imundos saíram e entraram nos porcos. A manada de cerca de dois mil precipitou-se pelo despenhadeiro em direção ao mar, e afogaram-se no mar.

14Aqueles que cuidavam dos porcos fugiram, e anunciaram isso na cidade e nos campos.

15Eles chegaram a Jesus e viram aquele que havia sido endemoninhado assentado, vestido e em perfeito juízo, o mesmo que tivera a legião; e ficaram com medo.

16Aqueles que viram isso lhes contaram o que havia acontecido ao endemoninhado, e também sobre os porcos.

17Então começaram a implorar-lhe que se retirasse da região deles.

18Quando ele estava entrando no barco, aquele que havia sido endemoninhado lhe implorou para que pudesse ficar com ele.

19Ele não o permitiu, mas lhe disse: “Vá para sua casa, para os seus amigos, e conte-lhes as grandes coisas que o Senhor fez por você e como ele teve misericórdia de você.”

20Ele seguiu o seu caminho e começou a proclamar em Decápolis as grandes coisas que Jesus havia feito por ele, e todos se maravilhavam.

21Quando Jesus atravessou de volta no barco para o outro lado, uma grande multidão se reuniu ao seu redor; e ele estava à beira-mar.

22Eis que chegou um dos chefes da sinagoga, chamado Jairo; e, ao vê-lo, prostrou-se aos seus pés

23e lhe implorou muito, dizendo: “Minha filhinha está à beira da morte. Por favor, venha e imponha as suas mãos sobre ela, para que seja curada e viva.”

24Ele foi com ele, e uma grande multidão o seguia, e o apertavam de todos os lados.

25Certa mulher que tinha um fluxo de sangue por doze anos,

26e havia sofrido muitas coisas nas mãos de muitos médicos, e tinha gasto tudo o que possuía, e não havia melhorado, mas, pelo contrário, piorado,

27tendo ouvido as coisas a respeito de Jesus, aproximou-se por trás dele no meio da multidão e tocou em suas vestes.

28Pois ela dizia: “Se eu apenas tocar em suas vestes, ficarei curada.”

29Imediatamente o fluxo do seu sangue secou, e ela sentiu em seu corpo que estava curada do seu mal.

30Imediatamente Jesus, percebendo em si mesmo que poder havia saído dele, virou-se no meio da multidão e perguntou: “Quem tocou em minhas vestes?”

31Seus discípulos lhe disseram: “Vês a multidão te apertando, e perguntas: 'Quem me tocou?'”

32Ele olhou ao redor para ver aquela que tinha feito isso.

33Mas a mulher, temendo e tremendo, sabendo o que lhe havia acontecido, veio e prostrou-se diante dele, e lhe contou toda a verdade.

34Ele lhe disse: “Filha, a sua fé a curou. Vá em paz, e fique curada da sua doença.”

35Enquanto ele ainda falava, chegaram pessoas da casa do chefe da sinagoga, dizendo: “Sua filha está morta. Por que incomodar mais o Mestre?”

36Mas Jesus, ao ouvir a mensagem que foi dita, imediatamente disse ao chefe da sinagoga: “Não tenha medo, apenas creia.”

37Ele não permitiu que ninguém o seguisse, exceto Pedro, Tiago e João, o irmão de Tiago.

38Ele chegou à casa do chefe da sinagoga, e viu um alvoroço, choro e grande lamento.

39Quando ele entrou, disse-lhes: “Por que vocês fazem alvoroço e choram? A criança não está morta, mas dorme.”

40Eles riram dele. Mas ele, tendo mandado todos saírem, tomou o pai da criança, a mãe dela, e os que estavam com ele, e entrou onde a criança estava deitada.

41Tomando a criança pela mão, disse-lhe: “Talita cumi!” que significa, sendo traduzido, “Menina, eu lhe digo, levante-se!”

42Imediatamente a menina se levantou e começou a andar, pois tinha doze anos de idade. Eles ficaram maravilhados com grande espanto.

43Ele lhes ordenou severamente que ninguém soubesse disso, e mandou que lhe dessem algo para comer.

1They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

2When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.

3He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,

4because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him.

5Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.

6When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,

7and crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don’t torment me.”

8For he said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” *

9He asked him, “What is your name?”* He said to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”

10He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

11Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.

12All the demons begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them.”

13At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.

14Those who fed the pigs fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.

15They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.

16Those who saw it declared to them what happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.

17They began to beg him to depart from their region.

18As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.

19He didn’t allow him, but said to him, “Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you and how he had mercy on you.”*

20He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.

21When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

22Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet

23and begged him much, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live.”

24He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.

25A certain woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years,

26and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,

27having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes.

28For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.”

29Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

30Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”*

31His disciples said to him, “You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”

32He looked around to see her who had done this thing.

33But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

34He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”*

35While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?”

36But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Don’t be afraid, only believe.”*

37He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.

39When he had entered in, he said to them, “Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.”*

40They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.

41Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” * which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!” *

42Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.

43He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
