    9¶ The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:

    10I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.

    11I said, I shall not see the Lord, even the Lord, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

    12Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

    13I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

    14Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O Lord, I am oppressed; undertake for me.

    15What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

    16O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.

    17Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

    18For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

    19The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

    20The Lord was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the Lord.

5:1AND they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

5:2And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

5:3Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

5:4Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

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

5:6But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

5:7And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

5:8For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

5:9And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

5:10And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

5:11Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

5:12And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

5:13And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

5:14And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

5:15And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

5:16And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

5:17And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

5:18And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

5:19Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

Selected passage

5:25And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

5:26And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

5:27When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

5:28For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

5:29And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

5:30And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

5:31And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

5:32And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

5:33But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

5:34And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

5:35While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

5:36As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

5:37And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

5:38And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

5:39And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

5:40And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

5:41And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

5:42And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

5:43And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
