Battering Ram (Mark) 5

1 They went to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Reward at the End (Gadarenes).

2 When He came out of the ship, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met Him out of the tombs,

3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs. No one could bind him, not even with chains:

4 He had often been bound with fetters and chains. He had plucked off the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces and no man could tame him.

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

6 But when he saw I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) afar off, he ran and worshipped Him,

7 And cried with a loud voice, saying, “What have I to do with You, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, please do not torment me.”

8 For He said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.”

9 He asked him, “What is your name?” He answered, “My name is Legion: for we are many.”

10 And he begged Him repeatedly that He would not send them away out of the country.

11 Now near the mountains a great herd of swine was feeding.

12 And all the devils begged Him, saying, “Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.”

13 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) agreed and gave them leave. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and drowned in the sea.

14 Those that fed the swine fled, and told what happened in the city, and in the country. So, a great crowd went out to see what had happened.

15 When they came to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), they saw the man who was possessed with the devil,  had the legion, sitting,  clothed, in his right mind: and they were afraid.

16 They saw that what was told to them was true, and learned how it happened to the man who was possessed with the devil and also concerning the swine.

17 Then they begged Him to leave their territory.

18 When he went to the ship, the man who had been possessed with the devil asked to go with Him.

19 But I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) refused, saying to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for you, and has had compassion on you.”

20 So he departed and began to publish in Ten Cities (Decapolis) all the great things I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) had done for him: and all men marveled.

21 When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) passed over again by ship to the other side, many people gathered to Him near the sea.

22 There one of the rulers of the synagogue, Whom God Enlightens (Jairus) by name came; and when he saw Him, he fell at His feet,

23 Desperately pleading, “My little daughter lies at the point of death: I beg You, come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed; and she will live.

24 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) went with him, and many people followed Him and thronged Him.

25 On the way a certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,

26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was not better, but rather grew worse,

27 When she heard of I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), she came in the press behind and touched His garment.

28 For she said, “If I may touch but His clothes, I will be whole.”

29 And right away the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

30 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), immediately knew in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around about in the press, and said, “Who touched my clothes?”

31 His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched me?’”

32 He looked round about to see who had done this thing.

33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came, fell down before Him, and told Him all the truth.

34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you whole; go in peace and be healed of your plague.”

35 While He spoke, a certain man came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, “Your daughter is dead: why trouble the Master any further?”

36 As soon as I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) heard these words, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Be not afraid, only believe.”

37 And He permitted no one to follow Him, save Stone (Peter), Supplanter (James), and I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the brother of Supplanter (James).

38 Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the tumult, and those that wept and wailed greatly.

39 When He came in, He said to them, “Why are you making all this ruckus, and weeping? The damsel is not dead, but sleeps.”

40 They laughed Him to scorn. But when He had put them all out, He took the father and the mother of the damsel, and those that were with Him, and entered in where the damsel was lying.

41 He took the damsel by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha cumi;” which is, being interpreted is, “Damsel, I say to thee, arise.”

42 Right away, the damsel arose and walked. She was twelve years old. And they were astonished with great astonishment.

43 He instructed them right away that no man should know it and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
