WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 They came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.
1 Y VINIERON de la otra parte de la mar á la provincia de los Gadarenos.
1 They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2 When Jesus was getting out of the boat, immediately there came up to him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit.
2 Y salido él del barco, luego le salió al encuentro, de los sepulcros, un hombre con un espíritu inmundo,
2 When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.
3 The man lived in the tombs. No one could restrain him anymore, not even with a chain.
3 Que tenía domicilio en los sepulcros, y ni aun con cadenas le podía alguien atar;
3 He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,
4 He had been bound many times with shackles and with chains. He tore the chains apart and his shackles were shattered. 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.
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.
5 Every night and day in the tombs and in the mountains, he cried out and cut 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.
5 Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran to him and bowed down before him.
6 Y como vió á Jesús de lejos, corrió, y le adoró.
6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
7 He cried out with a loud voice, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you by God himself, do not torment me.”
7 Y clamando á gran voz, dijo: ¿Qué tienes conmigo, Jesús, Hijo del Dios Altísimo? Te conjuro 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.”
8 For he had been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.”
8 Porque le decía: Sal de este hombre, espíritu inmundo.
8 For he said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”
9 He asked him, “What is your name?” He answered him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
9 Y le preguntó: ¿Cómo te llamas? Y respondió diciendo: Legión me llamo; porque somos muchos.
9 He asked him, “What is your name?” He said to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
10 He begged him again and again not to send them out of the region.
10 Y le rogaba mucho que no le enviase fuera de aquella provincia.
10 He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11 Now a great herd of pigs was there feeding on the hill,
11 Y estaba allí cerca del monte una grande manada de puercos paciendo.
11 Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.
12 and they begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs; let us enter into them.”
12 Y le rogaron todos los demonios, diciendo: Envíanos á los puercos para que entremos en ellos.
12 All the demons begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them.”
13 So he allowed them; the unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs, and they rushed down the steep hill into the sea, and about two thousand pigs drowned in the sea.
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.
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.
14 Then those who were feeding the pigs ran away and reported what had happened in the city and in the countryside, and so people went 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.
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.
15 Then they came to Jesus and they saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had been possessed by Legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
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.
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.
16 Those who had seen what happened to the demon-possessed man told them about it in detail, and they also them told about the pigs.
16 Y les contaron los que lo habían visto, cómo había acontecido al que había tenido el demonio, y lo de los puercos.
16 Those who saw it declared to them what happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
17 Then they started to beg him to leave their region.
17 Y comenzaron á rogarle que se fuese de los términos de ellos.
17 They began to beg him to depart from their region.
18 When he was getting into the boat, the demon-possessed man begged him that he might be with him.
18 Y entrando él en el barco, le rogaba el que había sido fatigado del demonio, para estar 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.
19 But Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go to your house and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you, and how he has shown you mercy.”
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.
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.”
20 So he went away and began to proclaim the great things that Jesus had done for him in the Decapolis, 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.
20 He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.
21 Now when Jesus had crossed over again to the other side, in the boat, a great crowd gathered around him, as he was beside the sea.
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.
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.
22 Then one of the leaders of the synagogue, named Jairus, came, and when he saw him, 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,
22 Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet
23 He begged again and again, saying, “My little daughter is near death. I beg you, come and lay your hands on her that she may be made well 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.
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.”
24 So he went with him, and a great crowd followed him and pressed close around him.
24 Y fué con él, y le seguía gran compañía, y le apretaban.
24 He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.
25 Now a woman was there who had a flow of blood for twelve years.
25 Y una mujer que estaba con flujo de sangre doce años hacía,
25 A certain woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years,
26 She had suffered much from many doctors and had spent everything that she had, but instead of getting better she grew worse.
26 Y había sufrido mucho de muchos médicos, y había gastado todo lo que tenía, y nada había aprovechado, antes le iba 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,
27 When she had heard the reports about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak.
27 Como oyó [hablar] de Jesús, llegó por detrás entre la compañía, y tocó su vestido.
27 having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes.
28 For she said, “If I touch just his clothes, I will be healed.”
28 Porque decía: Si tocare tan solamente su vestido, seré salva.
28 For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.”
29 When she touched him, the bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed from her affliction.
29 Y luego la fuente de su sangre se secó; y sintió en el cuerpo que estaba sana de aquel azote.
29 Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
30 Jesus immediately realized in himself that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?”
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?
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?”
31 His disciples said to him, “You see this crowd pressed around you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'”
31 Y le dijeron sus discípulos: Ves que la multitud te aprieta, y dices: ¿Quién me ha tocado?
31 His disciples said to him, “You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
32 But Jesus looked around to see who had done it.
32 Y él miraba alrededor para ver á la que había hecho esto.
32 He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
33 The woman, knowing what had happened to her, feared and trembled. She 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.
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.
34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed from your disease.”
34 Y él le dijo: Hija, tu fe te ha hecho salva: ve en paz, y queda sana de tu azote.
34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”
35 While he was speaking, some people came from the leader of the synagogue, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble 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?
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?”
36 But when Jesus overheard what they said, he said to the leader of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid. Just believe.”
36 Mas luego Jesús, oyendo esta razón que se decía, dijo al príncipe de la sinagoga: No temas, cree solamente.
36 But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Don’t be afraid, only believe.”
37 He did not permit anyone to accompany him, except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
37 Y no permitió que alguno viniese tras él sino Pedro, y Jacobo, y Juan hermano de Jacobo.
37 He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38 They came to the house of the leader of the synagogue and he saw there people making a lot of noise; they were weeping and wailing loudly.
38 Y vino á casa del príncipe de la sinagoga, y vió el alboroto, los que lloraban y gemían mucho.
38 He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
39 When he entered the house, he said to them, “Why are you upset and why do you weep? The child is not dead but sleeps.”
39 Y entrando, les dice: ¿Por qué alborotáis y lloráis? La muchacha no es muerta, mas duerme.
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.”
40 They laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the father of the child and the mother and those who were with him, and he went in where the child was.
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.
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.
41 He took the hand of the child and said to her, “Talitha, koum!” which being translated would be, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.”
41 Y tomando la mano de la muchacha, le dice: Talitha cumi; que es, si lo interpretares: Muchacha, á ti 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!”
42 Immediately the child got up and walked (for she was twelve years of age). They were immediately astonished with overwhelming amazement.
42 Y luego la muchacha se levantó, y andaba; porque tenía doce años. Y se espantaron de grande espanto.
42 Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.
43 He strictly ordered them that no one should know about this. Then he told them to give her something to eat.
43 Mas [él] les mandó mucho que nadie lo supiese, y dijo que le diesen de comer.
43 He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.

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 …
