PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Llegaron al otro lado del mar, a la región de los gadarenos.
1 They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
1 Καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸ πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης εἰς τὴν χώραν τῶν Γεργεσηνῶν.
2 Cuando Jesús salió de la barca, enseguida vino a su encuentro, desde los sepulcros, un hombre con espíritu inmundo.
2 When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.
2 καὶ ἐξελθόντος αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ πλοίου εὐθέως ἀπήντησεν αὐτῷ ἐκ τῶν μνημείων ἄνθρωπος ἐν πνεύματι ἀκαθάρτῳ,
3 Este hombre vivía entre los sepulcros, y nadie podía sujetarlo, ni siquiera con cadenas.
3 He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,
3 ὃς τὴν κατοίκησιν εἶχεν ἐν τοῖς μνήμασι, καὶ οὔτε ἁλύσεσιν οὐδεὶς ἠδύνατο αὐτὸν δῆσαι,
4 Muchas veces lo habían atado con grillos y cadenas, pero él rompía las cadenas y hacía pedazos los grillos. Nadie tenía fuerza para dominarlo.
4 because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him.
4 διὰ τὸ αὐτὸν πολλάκις πέδαις καὶ ἁλύσεσι δεδέσθαι, καὶ διεσπάσθαι ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὰς ἁλύσεις καὶ τὰς πέδας συντετρῖφθαι, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἴσχυεν αὐτὸν δαμάσαι·
5 Siempre, de día y de noche, andaba entre los sepulcros y por los montes, gritando y cortándose con piedras.
5 Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
5 καὶ διὰ παντὸς νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας ἐν τοῖς μνήμασι καὶ ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν ἦν κράζων καὶ κατακόπτων ἑαυτὸν λίθοις.
6 Cuando vio a Jesús de lejos, corrió y se postró ante él.
6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
6 ἰδὼν δὲ τὸν Ἰησοῦν [ἀπὸ] μακρόθεν ἔδραμε καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτόν,
7 Entonces gritó a gran voz: ¿Qué tienes que ver conmigo, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo? Te ruego por Dios que no me atormentes.
7 and crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don’t torment me.”
7 καὶ κράξας φωνῇ μεγάλῃ λέγει· τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί, Ἰησοῦ, υἱὲ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου; ὁρκίζω σε τὸν Θεόν, μή με βασανίσῃς.
8 Porque Jesús le decía: Sal de este hombre, espíritu inmundo.
8 For he said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”
8 ἔλεγε γὰρ αὐτῷ· ἔξελθε τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον ἐκ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
9 Jesús le preguntó: ¿Cómo te llamas? Él respondió: Me llamo Legión, porque somos muchos.
9 He asked him, “What is your name?” He said to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
9 καὶ ἐπηρώτα αὐτόν· τί ὄνομά σοι; καὶ ἀπεκρίθη λέγων· λεγεὼν ὄνομά μοι, ὅτι πολλοί ἐσμεν.
10 Y le rogaba mucho que no los enviara fuera de aquella región.
10 He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
10 καὶ παρεκάλει αὐτὸν πολλὰ ἵνα μὴ ἀποστείλῃ αὐτοὺς ἔξω τῆς χώρας.
11 Cerca de allí, en la ladera del monte, había una gran manada de cerdos comiendo.
11 Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.
11 ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ ἀγέλη χοίρων μεγάλη βοσκομένη πρὸς τῷ ὄρει·
12 Todos los demonios le rogaron: Envíanos a los cerdos, para que entremos en ellos.
12 All the demons begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them.”
12 καὶ παρεκάλεσαν αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ δαίμονες λέγοντες· πέμψον ἡμᾶς εἰς τοὺς χοίρους, ἵνα εἰς αὐτοὺς εἰσέλθωμεν.
13 Jesús se lo permitió. Entonces los espíritus inmundos salieron y entraron en los cerdos. La manada, como de dos mil, se lanzó por el despeñadero al mar, y se ahogó en el mar.
13 At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
13 καὶ ἐπέτρεψεν αὐτοῖς εὐθέως ὁ Ἰησοῦς. καὶ ἐξελθόντα τὰ πνεύματα τὰ ἀκάθαρτα εἰσῆλθον εἰς τοὺς χοίρους· καὶ ὥρμησεν ἡ ἀγέλη κατὰ τοῦ κρημνοῦ εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν· ἦσαν δὲ ὡς δισχίλιοι· καὶ ἐπνίγοντο ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ.
14 Los que cuidaban los cerdos huyeron y contaron lo sucedido en la ciudad y en los campos. Entonces la gente salió para ver qué había pasado.
14 Those who fed the pigs fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.
14 καὶ οἱ βόσκοντες τοὺς χοίρους ἔφυγον καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἀγρούς· καὶ ἐξῆλθον ἰδεῖν τί ἐστι τὸ γεγονός.
15 Vinieron a Jesús y vieron al que había estado endemoniado, el que había tenido la legión, sentado, vestido y en su sano juicio. Y tuvieron miedo.
15 They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.
15 καὶ ἔρχονται πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν, καὶ θεωροῦσι τὸν δαιμονιζόμενον καθήμενον καὶ ἱματισμένον καὶ σωφρονοῦντα, τὸν ἐσχηκότα τὸν λεγεῶνα, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν.
16 Los que lo habían visto les contaron lo que le había pasado al endemoniado, y también lo de los cerdos.
16 Those who saw it declared to them what happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
16 καὶ διηγήσαντο αὐτοῖς οἱ ἰδόντες πῶς ἐγένετο τῷ δαιμονιζομένῳ καὶ περὶ τῶν χοίρων.
17 Entonces comenzaron a rogarle a Jesús que se fuera de su región.
17 They began to beg him to depart from their region.
17 καὶ ἤρξαντο παρακαλεῖν αὐτὸν ἀπελθεῖν ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν.
18 Cuando Jesús subía a la barca, el que había estado endemoniado le rogaba que le permitiera quedarse con él.
18 As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.
18 καὶ ἐμβαίνοντος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πλοῖον παρεκάλει αὐτὸν ὁ δαιμονισθεὶς ἵνα μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ᾖ.
19 Pero Jesús no se lo permitió, sino que le dijo: Vete a tu casa, a los tuyos, y cuéntales cuán grandes cosas ha hecho el Señor por ti, y cómo tuvo misericordia de ti.
19 He didn’t allow him, but said to him, “Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you and how he had mercy on you.”
19 καὶ οὐκ ἀφῆκεν αὐτόν, ἀλλὰ λέγει αὐτῷ· ὕπαγε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου πρὸς τοὺς σοὺς καὶ ἀνάγγειλον αὐτοῖς ὅσα σοι ὁ Κύριος πεποίηκε καὶ ἠλέησέ σε.
20 El hombre se fue y comenzó a anunciar en Decápolis las grandes cosas que Jesús había hecho por él; y todos se maravillaban.
20 He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.
20 καὶ ἀπῆλθε καὶ ἤρξατο κηρύσσειν ἐν τῇ Δεκαπόλει ὅσα ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ πάντες ἐθαύμαζον.
21 Cuando Jesús cruzó otra vez en la barca al otro lado, se reunió con él mucha gente. Él estaba junto al mar.
21 When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
21 Καὶ διαπεράσαντος τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ πάλιν εἰς τὸ πέραν συνήχθη ὄχλος πολὺς ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν, καὶ ἦν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν.
22 Entonces vino uno de los jefes de la sinagoga, llamado Jairo. Al ver a Jesús, cayó a sus pies
22 Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet
22 Καὶ ἔρχεται εἷς τῶν ἀρχισυναγώγων, ὀνόματι Ἰάειρος, καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν πίπτει πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ
23 y le rogó mucho: Mi hijita está a punto de morir. Ven y pon tus manos sobre ella, para que sea sanada y viva.
23 and begged him much, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live.”
23 καὶ παρεκάλει αὐτὸν πολλά, λέγων ὅτι τὸ θυγάτριόν μου ἐσχάτως ἔχει, ἵνα ἐλθὼν ἐπιθῇς αὐτῇ τὰς χεῖρας, ὅπως σωθῇ καὶ ζήσεται.
24 Jesús fue con él, y mucha gente lo seguía y lo apretaba.
24 He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.
24 καὶ ἀπῆλθε μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ὄχλος πολύς, καὶ συνέθλιβον αὐτόν.
25 Había una mujer que sufría de flujo de sangre desde hacía doce años.
25 A certain woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years,
25 Καὶ γυνή τις οὖσα ἐν ῥύσει αἵματος ἔτη δώδεκα,
26 Había sufrido mucho con muchos médicos, y había gastado todo lo que tenía; pero no había mejorado, sino que estaba peor.
26 and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
26 καὶ πολλὰ παθοῦσα ὑπὸ πολλῶν ἰατρῶν καὶ δαπανήσασα τὰ παρ᾽ ἑαυτῆς πάντα, καὶ μηδὲν ὠφεληθεῖσα, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον εἰς τὸ χεῖρον ἐλθοῦσα,
27 Cuando oyó hablar de Jesús, vino por detrás entre la multitud y tocó su manto.
27 having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes.
27 ἀκούσασα περὶ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ἐλθοῦσα ἐν τῷ ὄχλῳ ὄπισθεν ἥψατο τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ·
28 Porque decía: Si tan solo toco su manto, seré sanada.
28 For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.”
28 ἔλεγε γὰρ ἐν ἑαυτῇ ὅτι ἐὰν ἅψωμαι κἂν τῶν ἱματίων αὐτοῦ, σωθήσομαι.
29 Enseguida se secó la fuente de su sangre, y sintió en su cuerpo que estaba sana de aquella enfermedad.
29 Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
29 καὶ εὐθέως ἐξηράνθη ἡ πηγὴ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔγνω τῷ σώματι ὅτι ἴαται ἀπὸ τῆς μάστιγος.
30 Al instante Jesús se dio cuenta de que poder había salido de él. Se volvió entre la multitud y dijo: ¿Quién tocó mi ropa?
30 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
30 καὶ εὐθέως ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐπιγνοὺς ἐν ἑαυτῷ τὴν ἐξ αὐτοῦ δύναμιν ἐξελθοῦσαν, ἐπιστραφεὶς ἐν τῷ ὄχλῳ ἔλεγε· τίς μου ἥψατο τῶν ἱματίων;
31 Sus discípulos le dijeron: Ves que la gente te aprieta por todos lados, ¿y preguntas: Quién me tocó?
31 His disciples said to him, “You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
31 καὶ ἔλεγον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ· βλέπεις τὸν ὄχλον συνθλίβοντά σε, καὶ λέγεις τίς μου ἥψατο;
32 Pero él miraba alrededor para ver a la que había hecho esto.
32 He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
32 καὶ περιεβλέπετο ἰδεῖν τὴν τοῦτο ποιήσασαν.
33 Entonces la mujer, sabiendo lo que le había sucedido, vino con miedo y temblor. Se postró delante de él y le dijo toda la verdad.
33 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.
33 ἡ δὲ γυνὴ φοβηθεῖσα καὶ τρέμουσα, εἰδυῖα ὃ γέγονεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ, ἦλθε καὶ προσέπεσεν αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀλήθειαν.
34 Jesús le dijo: Hija, tu fe te ha sanado. Vete en paz, y queda sana de tu enfermedad.
34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”
34 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· θύγατερ, ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε· ὕπαγε εἰς εἰρήνην, καὶ ἴσθι ὑγιὴς ἀπὸ τῆς μάστιγός σου.
35 Mientras Jesús todavía hablaba, vinieron de la casa del jefe de la sinagoga y dijeron: Tu hija ha muerto. ¿Para qué molestas más al Maestro?
35 While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?”
35 Ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος ἔρχονται ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀρχισυναγώγου λέγοντες ὅτι ἡ θυγάτηρ σου ἀπέθανε· τί ἔτι σκύλλεις τὸν διδάσκαλον;
36 Pero Jesús, al oír lo que decían, dijo al jefe de la sinagoga: No temas; solo cree.
36 But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Don’t be afraid, only believe.”
36 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εὐθέως ἀκούσας τὸν λόγον λαλούμενον λέγει τῷ ἀρχισυναγώγῳ· μὴ φοβοῦ, μόνον πίστευε.
37 No permitió que nadie lo acompañara, sino Pedro, Jacobo y Juan, hermano de Jacobo.
37 He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
37 καὶ οὐκ ἀφῆκεν αὑτῷ οὐδένα συνακολουθῆσαι εἰ μὴ Πέτρον καὶ Ἰάκωβον καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν Ἰακώβου.
38 Llegaron a la casa del jefe de la sinagoga. Jesús vio el alboroto, y a los que lloraban y gritaban mucho.
38 He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
38 καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἀρχισυναγώγου, καὶ θεωρεῖ θόρυβον, [καὶ] κλαίοντας καὶ ἀλαλάζοντας πολλά,
39 Al entrar, les dijo: ¿Por qué hacen alboroto y lloran? La niña no está muerta, sino dormida.
39 When he had entered in, he said to them, “Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.”
39 καὶ εἰσελθὼν λέγει αὐτοῖς· τί θορυβεῖσθε καὶ κλαίετε; τὸ παιδίον οὐκ ἀπέθανεν, ἀλλὰ καθεύδει. καὶ κατεγέλων αὐτοῦ.
40 Pero ellos se burlaban de él. Entonces Jesús echó fuera a todos, tomó al padre y a la madre de la niña, y a los que estaban con él, y entró donde estaba la niña.
40 They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.
40 ὁ δὲ ἐκβαλὼν πάντας παραλαμβάνει τὸν πατέρα τοῦ παιδίου καὶ τὴν μητέρα καὶ τοὺς μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰσπορεύεται ὅπου ἦν τὸ παιδίον ἀνακείμενον,
41 Tomó a la niña de la mano y le dijo: Talita cumi, que significa: Niña, a ti te digo, levántate.
41 Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!”
41 καὶ κρατήσας τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ παιδίου λέγει αὐτῇ· ταλιθά, κοῦμι· ὅ ἐστι μεθερμηνευόμενον, τὸ κοράσιον, σοὶ λέγω, ἔγειρε.
42 Enseguida la niña se levantó y comenzó a caminar, pues tenía doce años. Y ellos quedaron muy asombrados.
42 Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.
42 καὶ εὐθέως ἀνέστη τὸ κοράσιον καὶ περιεπάτει· ἦν γὰρ ἐτῶν δώδεκα. καὶ ἐξέστησαν ἐκστάσει μεγάλῃ.
43 Jesús les mandó con firmeza que nadie supiera esto, y dijo que le dieran de comer a la niña.
43 He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
43 καὶ διεστείλατο αὐτοῖς πολλὰ ἵνα μηδεὶς γνῷ τοῦτο· καὶ εἶπε δοθῆναι αὐτῇ φαγεῖν.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For after she had been thus afflicted during twelve years, she was healed by the advent of the Saviour, when she had touched the border of His garment; and on this account the Saviour said, "Who touched me?" --teaching his disciples the mystery which had occurred among the Æons, and the healing of that Æon who had been involved in …
And as He is going, it is announced that she is dead; and as though He would now be only wearying Himself in vain, word was brought to her father, "Thy daughter is dead, why weariest thou the Master any further?"

With this view He both walks more leisurely, and discourses more with the woman; that He might give time for the damsel to die, and for those to come, who told of it, and said, "Trouble not the Master." This again surely the evangelist obscurely signifies, when he saith, "While He yet spake, there came from the house certain which …
