Luke 8:15-50
New American Standard Bible
16Now no one lights a lamp and covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in may see the light.
17For nothing is concealed that will not become evident, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.
18So take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.'
19Now His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd.
20And it was reported to Him, 'Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.'
21But He answered and said to them, 'My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.'
22Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, 'Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.' So they launched out.
23But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger.
24They came up to Jesus and woke Him, saying, 'Master, Master, we are perishing!' And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm.
25And He said to them, 'Where is your faith?' But they were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, 'Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?'
26Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27And when He stepped out onto the land, a man from the city met Him who was possessed with demons; and he had not put on clothing for a long time and was not living in a house, but among the tombs.
28And seeing Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, and said with a loud voice, 'What business do You have with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!'
29For He had already commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had seized him many times; and he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, and yet he would break the restraints and be driven by the demon into the desert.
30And Jesus asked him, 'What is your name?' And he said, 'Legion'; because many demons had entered him.
31And they were begging Him not to command them to go away into the abyss.
32Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding there on the mountain; and the demons begged Him to permit them to enter the pigs. And He gave them permission.
33And the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
34Now when the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and reported everything in the city, and in the country.
35And the people came out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they became frightened.
36Those who had seen everything reported to them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been made well.
37And all the people of the territory of the Gerasenes and the surrounding region asked Him to leave them, because they were overwhelmed by great fear; and He got into a boat and returned.
38But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him that he might accompany Him; but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39Return to your home and describe what great things God has done for you.' So he went away, proclaiming throughout the city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40And as Jesus was returning, the people welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.
41And a man named Jairus came, and he was an official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus’ feet, and began urging Him to come to his house;
42for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him.
43And a woman who had suffered a chronic flow of blood for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone,
44came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45And Jesus said, 'Who is the one who touched Me?' And while they were all denying it, Peter said, 'Master, the people are crowding and pressing in on You.'
46But Jesus said, 'Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that power had left Me.'
47Now when the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before Him, and admitted in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed.
48And He said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.'
King James Version
16No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
19Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
20And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
22Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25And he said unto them, Where is your faith And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
26And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
28When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
29For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
31And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
32And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
33Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
38Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
40And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:
42For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45And Jesus said, Who touched me When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me
46And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
Christian Standard Bible
16"No one, after lighting a lamp, covers it with a basket or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in may see its light.
17For nothing is concealed that won’t be revealed, and nothing hidden that won’t be made known and brought to light.
18Therefore take care how you listen. For whoever has, more will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him."
19Then his mother and brothers came to him, but they could not meet with him because of the crowd.
20He was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you."
22One day he and his disciples got into a boat, and he told them, "Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake." So they set out,
23and as they were sailing he fell asleep. Then a fierce windstorm came down on the lake; they were being swamped and were in danger.
26Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27When he got out on land, a demon-possessed man from the town met him. For a long time he had worn no clothes and did not stay in a house but in the tombs.
28When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and said in a loud voice, "What do you have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!"
29For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was guarded, bound by chains and shackles, he would snap the restraints and be driven by the demon into deserted places.
30"What is your name?" Jesus asked him. "Legion," he said, because many demons had entered him.
31And they begged him not to banish them to the abyss.
32A large herd of pigs was there, feeding on the hillside. The demons begged him to permit them to enter the pigs, and he gave them permission.
33The demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
34When the men who tended them saw what had happened, they ran off and reported it in the town and in the countryside.
35Then people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man the demons had departed from, sitting at Jesus’s feet, dressed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.
36Meanwhile, the eyewitnesses reported to them how the demon-possessed man was delivered.
37Then all the people of the Gerasene region asked him to leave them, because they were gripped by great fear. So getting into the boat, he returned.
38The man from whom the demons had departed begged him earnestly to be with him. But he sent him away and said,
39"Go back to your home, and tell all that God has done for you." And off he went, proclaiming throughout the town how much Jesus had done for him.
40When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.
41Just then, a man named Jairus came. He was a leader of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’s feet and pleaded with him to come to his house,
42because he had an only daughter about twelve years old, and she was dying. While he was going, the crowds were nearly crushing him.
43A woman suffering from bleeding for twelve years, who had spent all she had on doctors and yet could not be healed by any,
44approached from behind and touched the end of his robe. Instantly her bleeding stopped.
46"Someone did touch me," said Jesus. "I know that power has gone out from me."
47When the woman saw that she was discovered, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people, she declared the reason she had touched him and how she was instantly healed.
48"Daughter," he said to her, "your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
New Living Translation
16No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or hides it under a bed. A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house.
17For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all.
19Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they couldn’t get to him because of the crowd.
20Someone told Jesus, 'Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and they want to see you.'
22One day Jesus said to his disciples, 'Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.' So they got into a boat and started out.
23As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger.
26So they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.
27As Jesus was climbing out of the boat, a man who was possessed by demons came out to meet him. For a long time he had been homeless and naked, living in the tombs outside the town.
28As soon as he saw Jesus, he shrieked and fell down in front of him. Then he screamed, 'Why are you interfering with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please, I beg you, don’t torture me!'
29For Jesus had already commanded the evil spirit to come out of him. This spirit had often taken control of the man. Even when he was placed under guard and put in chains and shackles, he simply broke them and rushed out into the wilderness, completely under the demon’s power.
30Jesus demanded, 'What is your name?' 'Legion,' he replied, for he was filled with many demons.
31The demons kept begging Jesus not to send them into the bottomless pit.
32There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding on the hillside nearby, and the demons begged him to let them enter into the pigs. So Jesus gave them permission.
33Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the entire herd plunged down the steep hillside into the lake and drowned.
34When the herdsmen saw it, they fled to the nearby town and the surrounding countryside, spreading the news as they ran.
35People rushed out to see what had happened. A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been freed from the demons. He was sitting at Jesus’ feet, fully clothed and perfectly sane, and they were all afraid.
36Then those who had seen what happened told the others how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37And all the people in the region of the Gerasenes begged Jesus to go away and leave them alone, for a great wave of fear swept over them. So Jesus returned to the boat and left, crossing back to the other side of the lake.
38The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him. But Jesus sent him home, saying,
39No, go back to your family, and tell them everything God has done for you.' So he went all through the town proclaiming the great things Jesus had done for him.
40On the other side of the lake the crowds welcomed Jesus, because they had been waiting for him.
41Then a man named Jairus, a leader of the local synagogue, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come home with him.
42His only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus went with him, he was surrounded by the crowds.
43A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding, and she could find no cure.
44Coming up behind Jesus, she touched the fringe of his robe. Immediately, the bleeding stopped.
46But Jesus said, 'Someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.'
47When the woman realized that she could not stay hidden, she began to tremble and fell to her knees in front of him. The whole crowd heard her explain why she had touched him and that she had been immediately healed.
48Daughter,' he said to her, 'your faith has made you well. Go in peace.'
English Standard Version
16"No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light.
17For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
18Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away."
19Then his mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd.
20And he was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you."
21But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it."
22One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side of the lake." So they set out,
23and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger.
24And they went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, "Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?"
26Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs.
28When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me."
29For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.)

34When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.
36And those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned.
38The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39"Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you." And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.
40Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41And there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus ' feet, he implored him to come to his house,
42for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As Jesus went, the people pressed around him.
43And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone.
44She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased.
45And Jesus said, "Who was it that touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!"
46But Jesus said, "Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me."
47And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.
48And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace."
New International Version
16"No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.
17For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.
18Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them."
19Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd.
20Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you."
22One day Jesus said to his disciples, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." So they got into a boat and set out.
23As 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.
26They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee.
27When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed 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.
28When 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!"
29For Jesus had commanded the impure 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.
30Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" "Legion," he replied, because many demons had gone into him.
31And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.
32A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission.
33When 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.
34When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside,
35and 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.
36Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured.
37Then 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.
38The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39"Return home and tell how much God has done for you." So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
40Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.
41Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house
42because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him.
43And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her.
44She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

18Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.”
19Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd.
20And it was told Him by some, who said, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You.”
22Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out.
23But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.
26Then they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs.

33Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.
34When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.
36They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was healed.
37Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned.
38Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39“Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.
41And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house,
42for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.
43Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any,
44came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
46But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.”
47Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.
