Section XII.

[1] 814And all the multitude of the Gadarenes entreated him to depart from them, because that great fear took hold upon them.

[2, 3] 815But Jesus went up into the ship, and crossed, and came to his city.  816And that man from whom the devils went out entreated that he might stay with him; but [4] Jesus sent him away, and said unto him, 817Return to thy house, and make known what [5] God hath done for thee.  818And he went, and began to publish in Decapolis819 what Jesus had done for him; and they all marvelled.

[6] 820And when Jesus had crossed in the ship to that side, a great multitude received [7] him; and they were all looking for him.  821And a man named Jairus, the chief of the [8] synagogue, fell before the feet of Jesus, 822and besought him much, and said unto him, I have an only daughter, and she is come nigh unto death; 823but come and lay thy [9] hand upon her, and she shall live.  824And Jesus rose, and his disciples, and they followed [10] him.  825And there joined him a great multitude, and they pressed him.

[11, 12] 826And a woman, which had a flow of blood for twelve years, 827had suffered much of many physicians, and spent all that she had, and was not benefited at all, but her [13] trouble increased further.  828And when she heard of Jesus, she came in the thronging of [14] [Arabic, p. 47] the crowd behind him, and touched829 his garments; 830and she thought within [15] herself, If I could reach to touch his garments, I should live.  831And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried; and she felt in her body that she was healed [16] of her plague.  832And 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?  [17] 833And 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 [18] unto me?  834And he said, Some one approached unto me; and I knew that [19] power went forth from me.  835And that woman, when she saw that she was not hid [20] from him, came fearing and agitated (for she knew what had happened to her), 836and fell down and worshipped him, and told, in the presence of all the people, for what [21] reason she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.  837And 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] 838And 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.  839But Jesus heard, and said unto the father of the maid, Fear not:  but believe [24] only, and she shall live.  840And he suffered no man to go with him, except [25] Simon Cephas, and James, and John the brother of James.  841And they reached the house of the chief of the synagogue; and he saw them agitated, weeping and wailing.  [26] 842And he entered, and said unto them, Why are ye agitated and weeping? the [27] [Arabic, p. 48] maid hath not died, but she is sleeping.  843And they laughed at him, for [28] they knew that she had died.  844And he put every man forth without, and took the father of the maid, and her mother, and Simon, and James, and John, and [29] entered into the place where the maid was laid.  845And he took hold of the hand of the maid, and said unto her, Maid, arise.  846And her spirit returned, and straightway [30] she arose and walked:  847and she was about twelve years of age.  848And he commanded [31] that there should be given to her something to eat.  849And her father wondered greatly:  [32] and he warned them that they should tell no man what had happened.  850And this report spread in all that land.

[33] 851And 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.  852And 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.  853Then he touched854 [36] their eyes, and said, As ye have believed, it shall be unto you.  855And immediately their eyes were opened.  And Jesus forbade them, and said, See that no man know.  [37] 856But they went out and published the news in all that land.

[38] 857And when Jesus went out, they brought to him a dumb man having a devil.  [39] 858And 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] 859And 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.  860And when Jesus saw the multitudes, he had compassion on them, for they were wearied and scattered,861 as sheep [42] that have no shepherd.  862And he called his twelve disciples, and gave them power and [43] much authority over all devils and diseases; 863and sent them two and two, that they [44] might proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.  864And he charged them, and said, Walk not in the way of the heathen, nor enter into the cities of the Samaritans.865  [45, 46] 866Go especially unto the sheep that are lost of the sons of Israel.  867And [47] when ye go, proclaim and say, The kingdom of heaven is come near.  868And heal the sick, and cleanse the lepers, and cast out the devils:  freely ye have received, freely [48, 49] give.  869Get you not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;
