[영어 성경] mark chapter 5

Mk. 5:1 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.

[Some manuscripts: Gadarenes; other manuscripts

Gergesenes]

Mk. 5:2 When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an evil [Greek:

unclean; also in verses 8 and 13] spirit came from the tombs

to meet him.

Mk. 5:3 This man lived in the tombs, and no-one could bind him any

more, not even with a chain.

Mk. 5:4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the

chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No-one was

strong enough to subdue him.

Mk. 5:5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry

out and cut himself with stones.

Mk. 5:6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his

knees in front of him.

Mk. 5:7 He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with

me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that

you won’t torture me!”

Mk. 5:8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you evil

spirit!”

Mk. 5:9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is

Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

Mk. 5:10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of

the area.

Mk. 5:11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside.

Mk. 5:12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us

to go into them.”

Mk. 5:13 He gave them permission, and the evil spirits came out and

went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number,

rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

Mk. 5:14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town

and countryside, and the people went out to see what had

happened.

Mk. 5:15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been

possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and

in his right mind; and they were afraid.

Mk. 5:16 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to

the demon-possessed man — and told about the pigs as well.

Mk. 5:17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their

region.

Mk. 5:18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been

demon-possessed begged to go with him.

Mk. 5:19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your family and

tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he

has had mercy on you.”

Mk. 5:20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis

[That is, the Ten Cities] how much Jesus had done for him.

And all the people were amazed.

Mk. 5:21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side

of the lake, a large crowd gathered round him while he was

by the lake.

Mk. 5:22 Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came there.

Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet

Mk. 5:23 and pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying.

Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be

healed and live.”

Mk. 5:24 So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed

around him.

Mk. 5:25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for

twelve years.

Mk. 5:26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors

and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she

grew worse.

Mk. 5:27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the

crowd and touched his cloak,

Mk. 5:28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be

healed.”

Mk. 5:29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body

that she was freed from her suffering.

Mk. 5:30 At once Jesus realised that power had gone out from him. He

turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my

clothes?”

Mk. 5:31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples

answered, “and yet you can ask, `Who touched me?’“

Mk. 5:32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.

Mk. 5:33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came

and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the

whole truth.

Mk. 5:34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in

peace and be freed from your suffering.”

Mk. 5:35 While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the

house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. “Your daughter is

dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher any more?”

Mk. 5:36 Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler,

“Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

Mk. 5:37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and

John the brother of James.

Mk. 5:38 When they came to the home of the synagogue ruler, Jesus

saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.

Mk. 5:39 He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and

wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.”

Mk. 5:40 But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took

the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with

him, and went in where the child was.

Mk. 5:41 He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!”

(which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).

Mk. 5:42 Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (she was

twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.

Mk. 5:43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and

told them to give her something to eat
