DEMONS and SWINE | |||||
41 | Matt 8 | 120 | Mark 5 | 120 | Luke 8 |
28 | <And> when he came | 1 | <And> they came | 26 | <And> they arrived |
to the other side, | to the other side of the sea, | ||||
to the country | to the country | at the country | |||
of the Gadarenes, | of the Gerasenes. | of the Gerasenes, | |||
which is opposite Galilee. | |||||
2 | And when he <came> out | 27 | <Now> as he <came> out | ||
<from> the boat, | on land, | ||||
two demoniacs met him, | there met him | there met [him] | |||
coming out of the tombs, | out of the tombs | ||||
so fierce | |||||
that no one could pass | |||||
that way. | |||||
a <person> | a man from the city | ||||
with an unclean spirit, | who had demons; | ||||
for a long time | |||||
he had worn no clothes, | |||||
and he lived not in a house | |||||
3 | who lived among the tombs; | but among the tombs. | |||
and no one could bind him | |||||
any more, | |||||
even with a chain; | |||||
4 | for he had often been bound | ||||
with fetters and chains,* | [see Luke 8:29 below] | ||||
but the chains | |||||
he wrenched apart, | |||||
and the fetters | |||||
he <shattered>; | |||||
and no one had the strength | |||||
to subdue him. | |||||
5 | Night and day | ||||
among the tombs | |||||
and on the mountains | |||||
he was always crying out, | |||||
and bruising himself | |||||
with stones. | |||||
6 | And when he saw Jesus | 28 | When he saw Jesus, | ||
from afar, | |||||
he ran | he cried out | ||||
and worshiped him; | and fell down before him, | ||||
29 |
And behold, | ||||
they cried out, | 7 | and crying out | and said | ||
with a loud voice, | with a loud voice, | ||||
he <says>, | |||||
"What have you to do | "What have you to do | "What have you to do | |||
with us, | with me, | with me, | |||
Jesus, | Jesus, | ||||
O Son of God? | Son of the Most High God? | Son of the Most High God? | |||
I adjure you by God, | I beseech you, | ||||
Have you come here | |||||
to torment us | do not torment me." | do not torment me." | |||
before the time?" | |||||
8 | For he <was saying> to him, | 29 | For he had commanded | ||
"Come out of the man,* | the unclean spirit* | ||||
you unclean spirit!"* | to come out of the man.* | ||||
(For many a time | |||||
it had seized him; | |||||
he was kept under guard, | |||||
[see Mark 5:4 above] | and bound | ||||
with chains and fetters,* | |||||
but he broke the bonds | |||||
and was driven | |||||
by the demon | |||||
into the desert.) | |||||
9 | And Jesus asked him, | 30 | Jesus then asked him, | ||
"What is your name?" | "What is your name?" | ||||
He replied, | And he said, | ||||
"My name is Legion; | "Legion"; | ||||
for we are many." | for many demons | ||||
had entered him. | |||||
10 | And he begged him eagerly | 31 | And they begged him | ||
not to send them | not to command them | ||||
out of the country. | to depart into the abyss. | ||||
30 | Now a herd | 11 | Now a great herd | 32 | Now a large herd |
of many swine | of swine | of swine | |||
was feeding | was feeding there | was feeding there | |||
at some distance | on the hillside; | on the hillside; | |||
from them. | |||||
31 | And the demons begged him, | 12 | and they begged him, | and they begged him | |
"If you cast us out, | |||||
send us away | "Send us | ||||
into the herd of swine." | to the swine, | ||||
let us enter them." | to let them enter these. | ||||
32 | And he said to them, | ||||
"Go." | |||||
So | 13 | So he gave them leave. | So he gave them leave. | ||
they | And the unclean spirits | 33 | Then the demons | ||
came out | came out, | came out of the man | |||
and went into the swine; | and entered the swine; | and entered the swine, | |||
and behold, the whole herd | and the herd, numbering | and the herd | |||
about two thousand, | |||||
rushed | rushed | rushed | |||
down the steep bank | down the steep bank | down the steep bank | |||
into the sea, | into the sea, | into the lake | |||
and perished | and were drowned | and were drowned. | |||
in the waters. | in the sea. | ||||
33 | The herdsmen | 14 | <And> the herdsmen | 34 | When the herdsmen saw |
what had happened, | |||||
fled, | fled, | they fled, | |||
and going into the city | and told* it in the city | and told* it in the city | |||
they told* <all the things> | |||||
<about> the demoniacs. | |||||
and in the country. | and in the country. | ||||
34 | And behold, all the city | And [people] | 35 | Then [people] | |
came out | came to see | went out to see | |||
what* it was | what | ||||
that had happened.* | had happened,* | ||||
to meet Jesus; | 15 | And they came to Jesus, | and they came to Jesus, | ||
and when they saw him, | and saw the demoniac | and found the man | |||
from whom | |||||
the demons had gone, | |||||
sitting there, | sitting at the feet of Jesus, | ||||
clothed | clothed | ||||
and in his right mind, | and in his right mind; | ||||
the man | |||||
who had had the legion; | |||||
and they were afraid. | and they were afraid. | ||||
16 | And those who had seen it | 36 | And those who had seen it | ||
told | told them how he | ||||
what had happened | who had been possessed | ||||
to the demoniac | with demons was healed. | ||||
and to the swine. | |||||
17 | And they began | 37 | Then all the people | ||
of the surrounding country | |||||
of the Gerasenes | |||||
they begged him | to beg Jesus | asked him | |||
to leave | to depart | to depart | |||
their neighborhood. | from their neighborhood. | from them; | |||
for they were seized | |||||
with great fear; | |||||
18 | And as he was getting | so he got | |||
into the boat, | into the boat | ||||
and returned. | |||||
the man | 38 | The man | |||
who had been possessed | from whom | ||||
with demons | the demons had gone | ||||
begged him | begged | ||||
that he might be with him. | that he might be with him; | ||||
19 | But he refused, | but he sent him away, | |||
and said to him, | saying, | ||||
"Go home to your friends, | 39 | "Return to your home, | |||
and tell them how much | and declare how much | ||||
the Lord has done for you, | God has done for you." | ||||
and how he has had mercy | |||||
on you." | |||||
20 | And he went away | 40 | And he went away, | ||
and began to proclaim | proclaiming | ||||
in the Decapolis | throughout the whole city | ||||
how much Jesus had done | how much Jesus had done | ||||
for him; | for him. | ||||
and all men marveled. |
