Mark 5 Free Bible Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 They arrived on the other side of the lake in the region of the Gerasenes.
1 Y VINIERON de la otra parte de la mar á la provincia de los Gadarenos.
2 When Jesus got out of the boat a man with an evil spirit came from the graveyard to meet him.
2 Y salido él del barco, luego le salió al encuentro, de los sepulcros, un hombre con un espíritu inmundo,
3 This man lived among the tombs, and it had been impossible to tie him up any longer, even with a chain.
3 Que tenía domicilio en los sepulcros, y ni aun con cadenas le podía alguien atar;
4 He had often been tied up with chains and shackles, but he simply tore the chains apart and broke the shackles into pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him.
4 Porque muchas veces había sido atado con grillos y cadenas, mas las cadenas habían sido hechas pedazos por él, y los grillos desmenuzados; y nadie le podía domar.
5 Day and night he was always shouting out among the tombs and in the hills nearby, cutting himself with sharp stones.
5 Y siempre, de día y de noche, andaba dando voces en los montes y en los sepulcros, é hiriéndose con las piedras.
6 Seeing Jesus from a distance he ran and kneeled in front of him.
6 Y como vió á Jesús de lejos, corrió, y le adoró.
7 In a loud voice he cried out, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of Almighty God? Swear by God that you won't torture me!”
7 Y clamando á gran voz, dijo: ¿Qué tienes conmigo, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo? Te conjuro por Dios que no me atormentes.
8 For Jesus had already told the evil spirit to leave the man.
8 Porque le decía: Sal de este hombre, espíritu inmundo.
9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is Legion, because we are many!” he replied.
9 Y le preguntó: ¿Cómo te llamas? Y respondió diciendo: Legión me llamo; porque somos muchos.
10 He also repeatedly pleaded with Jesus not to send them a long way away.
10 Y le rogaba mucho que no le enviase fuera de aquella provincia.
11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the hillside nearby.
11 Y estaba allí cerca del monte una grande manada de puercos paciendo.
12 The evil spirits pleaded with him, “Send us to the pigs so we can enter them.”
12 Y le rogaron todos los demonios, diciendo: Envíanos á los puercos para que entremos en ellos.
13 Jesus allowed them to do this. The evil spirits left the man and went into the pigs. The whole herd, about two thousand, rushed down the steep cliff into the sea and drowned.
13 Y luego Jesús se lo permitió. Y saliendo aquellos espíritus inmundos, entraron en los puercos, y la manada cayó por un despeñadero en la mar; los cuales eran como dos mil; y en la mar se ahogaron.
14 The pig-keepers ran away, and spread the news all over town and in the countryside. People came out to see what had happened.
14 Y los que apacentaban los puercos huyeron, y dieron aviso en la ciudad y en los campos. Y salieron para ver qué era aquello que había acontecido.
15 When they found Jesus they saw the man who had been demon-possessed sitting there, dressed, and in his right mind—the one who had the legion of evil spirits—and they became frightened!
15 Y vienen á Jesús, y ven al que había sido atormentado del demonio, y que había tenido la legión, sentado y vestido, y en su juicio cabal; y tuvieron miedo.
16 Then those who had seen what had happened to the man who had been demon-possessed and the pigs told the others.
16 Y les contaron los que lo habían visto, cómo había acontecido al que había tenido el demonio, y lo de los puercos.
17 They began pleading with Jesus to leave their district.
17 Y comenzaron á rogarle que se fuese de los términos de ellos.
18 As Jesus climbed into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him.
18 Y entrando él en el barco, le rogaba el que había sido fatigado del demonio, para estar con él.
19 But Jesus refused, telling him, “Go home to your own people, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how he has been merciful to you.”
19 Mas Jesús no le permitió, sino le dijo: Vete á tu casa, á los tuyos, y cuéntales cuán grandes cosas el Señor ha hecho contigo, y [cómo] ha tenido misericordia de ti.
20 So the man went on his way and began to tell the people of the Ten Cities everything Jesus had done for him, and everyone was amazed.
20 Y se fué, y comenzó á publicar en Decápolis cuán grandes cosas Jesús había hecho con él: y todos se maravillaban.
21 Jesus went back again by boat to the other side of the lake where a large crowd gathered around him at the shore.
21 Y pasando otra vez Jesús en un barco á la otra parte, se juntó á él gran compañía; y estaba junto á la mar.
22 A synagogue leader, a man named Jairus, came to him. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet
22 Y vino uno de los príncipes de la sinagoga, llamado Jairo; y luego que le vió, se postró á sus pies,
23 and pleaded with him, saying, “My little daughter is about to die. Please come and place your hands on her so she may be healed and live.”
23 Y le rogaba mucho, diciendo: Mi hija está á la muerte: ven y pondrás las manos sobre ella para que sea salva, y vivirá.
24 So Jesus went with him. Everybody followed, crowding and jostling him.
24 Y fué con él, y le seguía gran compañía, y le apretaban.
25 A woman was there who had been ill from bleeding for twelve years.
25 Y una mujer que estaba con flujo de sangre doce años hacía,
26 She'd suffered considerably under the care of many doctors, and had spent all she had. But nothing helped her—in fact she'd grown worse.
26 Y había sufrido mucho de muchos médicos, y había gastado todo lo que tenía, y nada había aprovechado, antes le iba peor,
27 She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd, and touched his cloak.
27 Como oyó [hablar] de Jesús, llegó por detrás entre la compañía, y tocó su vestido.
28 She was telling herself, “If I can just touch his cloak, I'll be healed.”
28 Porque decía: Si tocare tan solamente su vestido, seré salva.
29 The bleeding stopped immediately, and she felt her body healed from her disease.
29 Y luego la fuente de su sangre se secó; y sintió en el cuerpo que estaba sana de aquel azote.
30 Jesus, sensing at once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my cloak?”
30 Y luego Jesús, conociendo en sí mismo la virtud que había salido de él, volviéndose á la compañía, dijo: ¿Quién ha tocado mis vestidos?
31 “Look at the crowd jostling you. What do you mean, ‘Who touched me?’” the disciples replied.
31 Y le dijeron sus discípulos: Ves que la multitud te aprieta, y dices: ¿Quién me ha tocado?
32 But Jesus went on looking around to see who had done it.
32 Y él miraba alrededor para ver á la que había hecho esto.
33 The woman, realizing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
33 Entonces la mujer, temiendo y temblando, sabiendo lo que en sí había sido hecho, vino y se postró delante de él, y le dijo toda la verdad.
34 “My daughter, your trust in me has healed you. Go in peace. You have been completely cured of your disease,” Jesus told her.
34 Y él le dijo: Hija, tu fe te ha hecho salva: ve en paz, y queda sana de tu azote.
35 While he was still speaking some people came from the home of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “You don't need to bother the Teacher any longer.”
35 Hablando aún él, vinieron de casa del príncipe de la sinagoga, diciendo: Tu hija es muerta; ¿para qué fatigas más al Maestro?
36 But Jesus paid no attention to what they said. He told the synagogue leader, “Don't be afraid, just trust in me.”
36 Mas luego Jesús, oyendo esta razón que se decía, dijo al príncipe de la sinagoga: No temas, cree solamente.
37 He wouldn't let anyone go with him except Peter, James, and James' brother John.
37 Y no permitió que alguno viniese tras él sino Pedro, y Jacobo, y Juan hermano de Jacobo.
38 When they arrived at the synagogue leader's house, Jesus saw all the commotion, with people crying and wailing.
38 Y vino á casa del príncipe de la sinagoga, y vió el alboroto, los que lloraban y gemían mucho.
39 He went in and asked them, “Why are you making such a commotion with all this crying? The little girl isn't dead, she's just sleeping.”
39 Y entrando, les dice: ¿Por qué alborotáis y lloráis? La muchacha no es muerta, mas duerme.
40 They laughed scornfully at him. Jesus made everyone leave. Then he went into the room where the little girl was lying, taking with him the child's father and mother, and the three disciples.
40 Y hacían burla de él: mas él, echados fuera todos, toma al padre y á la madre de la muchacha, y á los que estaban con él, y entra donde la muchacha estaba.
41 Taking the little girl's hand he said, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, get up!”
41 Y tomando la mano de la muchacha, le dice: Talitha cumi; que es, si lo interpretares: Muchacha, á ti digo, levántate.
42 The little girl, who was twelve years old, got up immediately and began walking around. They were completely astonished at what had happened.
42 Y luego la muchacha se levantó, y andaba; porque tenía doce años. Y se espantaron de grande espanto.
43 He gave them strict instructions not to let anyone know, and he told them to give the little girl something to eat.
43 Mas [él] les mandó mucho que nadie lo supiese, y dijo que le diesen de comer.

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?" But He went on, and said to the father of the damsel, "Be not afraid, only believe." He comes …

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 …
