[영어 성경] Luke Chapter 8

CHAPTER 8

Lk. 8:1 After this, Jesus travelled about from one town and village to

another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God.

The Twelve were with him,

Lk. 8:2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and

diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons

had come out;

Lk. 8:3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’'s

household; Susanna; and many others. These women were

helping to support them out of their own means.

Lk. 8:4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming

to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable:

Lk. 8:5 “"A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the

seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the

birds of the air ate it up.

Lk. 8:6 Some fell on rock, and when it came up, the plants withered

because they had no moisture.

Lk. 8:7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and

choked the plants.

Lk. 8:8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a

crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”" When he said

this, he called out, “"He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”"

168

Lk. 8:9 His disciples asked him what this parable meant.

Lk. 8:10 He said, “"The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of

God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables,

so that, “"`though seeing, they may not see; though hearing,

they may not understand.’' [Isaiah 6:9]

Lk. 8:11 “"This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of

God.

Lk. 8:12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the

devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so

that they may not believe and be saved.

Lk. 8:13 Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with

joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for

a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.

Lk. 8:14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear,

but as they go on their way they are choked by life’'s worries,

riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.

Lk. 8:15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and

good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering

produce a crop.

Lk. 8:16 “"No-one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar or puts it under a

bed. Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in

can see the light.

Lk. 8:17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and

nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into

the open.

Lk. 8:18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has

will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he

thinks he has will be taken from him.”"

Lk. 8:19 Now Jesus’' mother and brothers came to see him, but they

were not able to get near him because of the crowd.

Lk. 8:20 Someone told him, “"Your mother and brothers are standing

outside, wanting to see you.”"

169

Lk. 8:21 He replied, “"My mother and brothers are those who hear

God’'s word and put it into practice.”"

Lk. 8:22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “"Let’'s go over to the

other side of the lake.”" So they got into a boat and set out.

Lk. 8:23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the

lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in

great danger.

Lk. 8:24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “"Master, Master,

we’'re going to drown!”" He got up and rebuked the wind and

the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.

Lk. 8:25 “"Where is your faith?”" he asked his disciples. In fear and

amazement they asked one another, “"Who is this? He

commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”"

Lk. 8:26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, [Some

manuscripts: Gadarenes; other manuscripts Gergesenes; also

in verse 37] which is across the lake from Galilee.

Lk. 8:27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demonpossessed

man from the town. For a long time this man had

not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the

tombs.

Lk. 8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting

at the top of his voice, “"What do you want with me, Jesus,

Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’'t torture me!”"

Lk. 8:29 For Jesus had commanded the evil [Greek: unclean] spirit to

come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and

though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard,

he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon

into solitary places.

Lk. 8:30 Jesus asked him, “"What is your name?”" “"Legion,”" he replied,

because many demons had gone into him.

Lk. 8:31 And they begged him repeatedly not to order them to go into

the Abyss.

170

Lk. 8:32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The

demons begged Jesus to let them go into them, and he gave

them permission.

Lk. 8:33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the

pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake

and was drowned.

Lk. 8:34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they

ran off and reported this in the town and countryside,

Lk. 8:35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When

they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the

demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’' feet, dressed and in his

right mind; and they were afraid.

Lk. 8:36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demonpossessed

man had been cured.

Lk. 8:37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked

Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear.

So he got into the boat and left.

Lk. 8:38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go

with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

Lk. 8:39 “"Return home and tell how much God has done for you.”" So

the man went away and told all over the town how much

Jesus had done for him.

Lk. 8:40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they

were all expecting him.

Lk. 8:41 Then a man named Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, came and

fell at Jesus’' feet, pleading with him to come to his house

Lk. 8:42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.

As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him.

Lk. 8:43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for

twelve years, [Many manuscripts years, and she had spent all

she had on doctors] but no-one could heal her.

171

Lk. 8:44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak,

and immediately her bleeding stopped.

Lk. 8:45 “"Who touched me?”" Jesus asked. When they all denied it,

Peter said, “"Master, the people are crowding and pressing

against you.”"

Lk. 8:46 But Jesus said, “"Someone touched me; I know that power

has gone out from me.”"

Lk. 8:47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed,

came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the

people, she told why she had touched him and how she had

been instantly healed.

Lk. 8:48 Then he said to her, “"Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go

in peace.”"

Lk. 8:49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house

of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. “"Your daughter is dead,”" he

said. “"Don’'t bother the teacher any more.”"

Lk. 8:50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “"Don’'t be afraid; just

believe, and she will be healed.”"

Lk. 8:51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone

go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child’'s

father and mother.

Lk. 8:52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her.

“"Stop wailing,”" Jesus said. “"She is not dead but asleep.”"

Lk. 8:53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.

Lk. 8:54 But he took her by the hand and said, “"My child, get up!”"

Lk. 8:55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told

them to give her something to eat.

Lk. 8:56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell

anyone what had happened.
