Mark 5

Authored by: American Standard Version
5:1
Και ηλθον εις το περαν της θαλασσης εις την χωραν των Γερασηνων
And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
5:2
και εξελθοντος αυτου εκ του πλοιου ευθυς υπηντησεν αυτω εκ των μνημειων ανθρωπος εν πνευματι ακαθαρτω
And when he was come out of the boat, straightway there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
5:3
ος την κατοικησιν ειχεν εν τοις μνημασιν και ουδε αλυσει ουκετι ουδεις εδυνατο αυτον δησαι
who had his dwelling in the tombs: and no man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain;
5:4
δια το αυτον πολλακις πεδαις και αλυσεσιν δεδεσθαι και διεσπασθαι υπ αυτου τας αλυσεις και τας πεδας συντετριφθαι και ουδεις ισχυεν αυτον δαμασαι
because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him.
5:5
και δια παντος νυκτος και ημερας εν τοις μνημασιν και εν τοις ορεσιν ην κραζων και κατακοπτων εαυτον λιθοις
And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
5:6
Και ιδων τον Ιησουν απο μακροθεν εδραμεν και προσεκυνησεν αυτω
And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him;
5:7
και κραξας φωνη μεγαλη λεγει Τι εμοι και σοι Ιησου Υιε του Θεου του Υψιστου ορκιζω σε τον Θεον μη με βασανισης
and crying out with a loud voice, he saith, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not.
5:8
ελεγεν γαρ αυτω Εξελθε το πνευμα το ακαθαρτον εκ του ανθρωπου
For he said unto him, Come forth, thou unclean spirit, out of the man.
5:9
Και επηρωτα αυτον Τι ονομα σοι Και λεγει αυτω Λεγιων ονομα μοι οτι πολλοι εσμεν
And he asked him, What is thy name? And he saith unto him, My name is Legion; for we are many.
5:10
και παρεκαλει αυτον πολλα ινα μη αυτα αποστειλη εξω της χωρας
And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
5:11
Ην δε εκει προς τω ορει αγελη χοιρων μεγαλη βοσκομενη
Now there was there on the mountain side a great herd of swine feeding.
5:12
και παρεκαλεσαν αυτον λεγοντες Πεμψον ημας εις τους χοιρους ινα εις αυτους εισελθωμεν
And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
5:13
Και επετρεψεν αυτοις και εξελθοντα τα πνευματα τα ακαθαρτα εισηλθον εις τους χοιρους και ωρμησεν η αγελη κατα του κρημνου εις την θαλασσαν ως δισχιλιοι και επνιγοντο εν τη θαλασση
And he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the sea, in number about two thousand; and they were drowned in the sea.

5:14
Και οι βοσκοντες αυτους εφυγον και απηγγειλαν εις την πολιν και εις τους αγρους και ηλθον ιδειν τι εστιν το γεγονος
And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came to see what it was that had come to pass.
5:15
και ερχονται προς τον Ιησουν και θεωρουσιν τον δαιμονιζομενον καθημενον ιματισμενον και σωφρονουντα τον εσχηκοτα τον λεγιωνα και εφοβηθησαν
And they come to Jesus, and behold him that was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him that had the legion: and they were afraid.
5:16
και διηγησαντο αυτοις οι ιδοντες πως εγενετο τω δαιμονιζομενω και περι των χοιρων
And they that saw it declared unto them how it befell him that was possessed with demons, and concerning the swine.
5:17
και ηρξαντο παρακαλειν αυτον απελθειν απο των οριων αυτων
And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders.
5:18
Και εμβαινοντος αυτου εις το πλοιον παρεκαλει αυτον ο δαιμονισθεις ινα μετ αυτου η
And as he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with demons besought him that he might be with him.
5:19
και ουκ αφηκεν αυτον αλλα λεγει αυτω Υπαγε εις τον οικον σου προς τους σους και απαγγειλον αυτοις οσα ο Κυριος σοι πεποιηκεν και ηλεησεν σε
And he suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go to thy house unto thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and how he had mercy on thee.
5:20
Και απηλθεν και ηρξατο κηρυσσειν εν τη Δεκαπολει οσα εποιησεν αυτω ο Ιησους και παντες εθαυμαζον
And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men marvelled.
5:21
Και διαπερασαντος του Ιησου εν τω πλοιω παλιν εις το περαν συνηχθη οχλος πολυς επ αυτον και ην παρα την θαλασσαν
And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat unto the other side, a great multitude was gathered unto him; and he was by the sea.
5:22
και ερχεται εις των αρχισυναγωγων ονοματι Ιαιρος και ιδων αυτον πιπτει προς τους ποδας αυτου
And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jaïrus by name; and seeing him, he falleth at his feet,
5:23
και παρακαλει αυτον πολλα λεγων οτι Το θυγατριον μου εσχατως εχει ινα ελθων επιθης τας χειρας αυτη ινα σωθη και ζηση
and beseecheth him much, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: I pray thee, that thou come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live.
5:24
Και απηλθεν μετ αυτου και ηκολουθει αυτω οχλος πολυς και συνεθλιβον αυτον
And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.
5:25
Και γυνη ουσα εν ρυσει αιματος δωδεκα ετη
And a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years,
5:26
και πολλα παθουσα υπο πολλων ιατρων και δαπανησασα τα παρ αυτης παντα και μηδεν ωφεληθεισα αλλα μαλλον εις το χειρον ελθουσα
and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
5:27
ακουσασα περι του Ιησου ελθουσα εν τω οχλω οπισθεν ηψατο του ιματιου αυτου
having heard the things concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment.
5:28
ελεγεν γαρ οτι Εαν αψωμαι καν των ιματιων αυτου σωθησομαι
For she said, If I touch but his garments, I shall be made whole.
5:29
και ευθυς εξηρανθη η πηγη του αιματος αυτης και εγνω τω σωματι οτι ιαται απο της μαστιγος
And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.
5:30
Και ευθυς ο Ιησους επιγνους εν εαυτω την εξ αυτου δυναμιν εξελθουσαν επιστραφεις εν τω οχλω ελεγεν Τις μου ηψατο των ιματιων
And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments?
5:31
Και ελεγον αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου Βλεπεις τον οχλον συνθλιβοντα σε και λεγεις Τις μου ηψατο
And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
5:32
Και περιεβλεπετο ιδειν την τουτο ποιησασαν
And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
5:33
η δε γυνη φοβηθεισα και τρεμουσα ειδυια ο γεγονεν αυτη ηλθεν και προσεπεσεν αυτω και ειπεν αυτω πασαν την αληθειαν
But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
5:34
Ο δε ειπεν αυτη Θυγατηρ η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε υπαγε εις ειρηνην και ισθι υγιης απο της μαστιγος σου
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
5:35
Ετι αυτου λαλουντος ερχονται απο του αρχισυναγωγου λεγοντες οτι Η θυγατηρ σου απεθανεν τι ετι σκυλλεις τον διδασκαλον
While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Teacher any further?
5:36
Ο δε Ιησους παρακουσας τον λογον λαλουμενον λεγει τω αρχισυναγωγω Μη φοβου μονον πιστευε
But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe.
5:37
και ουκ αφηκεν ουδενα μετ αυτου συνακολουθησαι ει μη τον Πετρον και Ιακωβον και Ιωαννην τον αδελφον Ιακωβου
And he suffered no man to follow with him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
5:38
Και ερχονται εις τον οικον του αρχισυναγωγου και θεωρει θορυβον και κλαιοντας και αλαλαζοντας πολλα
And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he beholdeth a tumult, and many weeping and wailing greatly.
5:39
και εισελθων λεγει αυτοις Τι θορυβεισθε και κλαιετε το παιδιον ουκ απεθανεν αλλα καθευδει
And when he was entered in, he saith unto them, Why make ye a tumult, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleepeth.
5:40
και κατεγελων αυτου Αυτος δε εκβαλων παντας παραλαμβανει τον πατερα του παιδιου και την μητερα και τους μετ αυτου και εισπορευεται οπου ην το παιδιον
And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all forth, taketh the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him, and goeth in where the child was.
5:41
και κρατησας της χειρος του παιδιου λεγει αυτη Ταλιθα κουμ ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον Το Κορασιον σοι λεγω εγειρε
And taking the child by the hand, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, Arise.
5:42
και ευθυς ανεστη το κορασιον και περιεπατει ην γαρ ετων δωδεκα και εξεστησαν ευθυς εκστασει μεγαλη
And straightway the damsel rose up, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed straightway with a great amazement.
5:43
και διεστειλατο αυτοις πολλα ινα μηδεις γνοι τουτο και ειπεν δοθηναι αυτη φαγειν
And he charged them much that no man should know this: and he commanded that something should be given her to eat.

Even demons asking permission

The demons cast out of the Gerasene man ask specifically to enter a herd of pigs, which then rush into the sea and drown. The request itself suggests even the demons recognized some limit to where they were allowed to go without permission.
