Mark 5

²⁶Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, 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 clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.

²⁸When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

²⁹“What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

³⁵When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

²³Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:

⁴sitting among the graves, spending nights in secret places, eating the meat of pigs and polluted broth from their bowls.

⁸For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

⁴²Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

²⁶At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.

²⁷When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.

⁴sitting among the graves, spending nights in secret places, eating the meat of pigs and polluted broth from their bowls.

²⁹For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.

³²You will be driven away from mankind to live with the beasts of the field, and you will feed on grass like an ox. And seven times will pass you by, until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdom of mankind and gives it to whom He wishes.”

³³At that moment the sentence against Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from mankind. He ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.

¹⁸Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”

¹⁹“O unbelieving generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to Me.”

⁷All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,

⁸but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

²⁸So they shouted louder and cut themselves with knives and lances, as was their custom, until the blood gushed over them.

⁷So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and infected Job with terrible boils from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.

⁸And Job took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself as he sat among the ashes.

⁴⁴You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

¹⁹You believe that God is one. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

³Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.

⁴¹Demons also came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ.

⁹May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust.

¹⁷This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”

²⁹“What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

¹⁷This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”

⁶³But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”

⁶And the angels who did not stay within their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling—these He has kept in eternal chains under darkness, bound for judgment on that great day.

³The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

¹¹And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”

¹⁸She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.

²⁵When Jesus saw that a crowd had come running, He rebuked the unclean spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” He said, “I command you to come out and never enter him again.”

²⁶After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”

²⁵But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”

³⁰“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

¹⁵When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

⁵³Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

²¹When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

²²But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.

⁴⁵Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”

²²And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons He drives out demons.”

¹³He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.

³Whoever slaughters an ox is like one who slays a man; whoever sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever presents a grain offering is like one who offers pig’s blood; whoever offers frankincense is like one who blesses an idol. Indeed, they have chosen their own ways and delighted in their abominations.

⁷And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.

⁸You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.

⁸as well as the pig; though it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. It is unclean for you. You must not eat its meat or touch its carcass.

³⁰In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.

³²There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.

⁴sitting among the graves, spending nights in secret places, eating the meat of pigs and polluted broth from their bowls.

⁸Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

¹¹in order that Satan should not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.

³¹Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you like wheat.

³²But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

¹⁰Have You not placed a hedge on every side around him and his household and all that he owns? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.

¹¹But stretch out Your hand and strike all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”

⁵But stretch out Your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”

⁶“Very well,” said the Lord to Satan. “He is in your hands, but you must spare his life.”

²²who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to Him.

²²And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the Lord. ‘Go and do it.’

⁴⁴You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

³²“Go!” He told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.

¹¹They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon.

³⁴When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

³³Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men.

¹³He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son,

⁷For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

²⁰The men of Beth-shemesh asked, “Who can stand in the presence of the Lord, this holy God? To whom should the ark go up from here?”

²¹So they sent messengers to the people of Kiriath-jearim, saying, “The Philistines have returned the ark of the Lord. Come down and take it up with you.”

⁹“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

²⁴Can the plunder be snatched from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?

²⁵Indeed, this is what the Lord says: “Even the captives of the mighty will be taken away, and the plunder of the tyrant will be retrieved; I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.

⁴So Samuel did what the Lord had said and went to Bethlehem. When the elders of the town met him, they trembled and asked, “Do you come in peace?”

³⁴Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.

²⁴“What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

³⁷Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.

¹⁶Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”

⁷And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”

³⁹They came to appease them and led them out, requesting that they leave the city.

³⁸The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

³⁹“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.

²³I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.

²⁴But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

¹⁷And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

¹²How can I repay the Lord for all His goodness to me?

⁷And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”

⁴²Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

⁴³And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

¹⁶Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me.

²⁹“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

²⁵Then King Darius wrote to the people of every nation and language throughout the land: “May your prosperity abound.

²⁶I hereby decree that in every part of my kingdom, men are to tremble in fear before the God of Daniel: For He is the living God, and He endures forever; His kingdom will never be destroyed, and His dominion will never end.

¹King Nebuchadnezzar, To the people of every nation and language who dwell in all the earth: May your prosperity be multiplied.

²I am pleased to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me.

⁹This is a writing by Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:

¹⁰I said, “In the prime of my life I must go through the gates of Sheol and be deprived of the remainder of my years.”

¹“Brothers and fathers, listen now to my defense before you.”

²When they heard him speak to them in Hebrew, they became even more quiet. Then Paul declared,

²⁵Large crowds followed Him, having come from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

³¹Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.

¹Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.

¹Once again Jesus began to teach beside the sea, and such a large crowd gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people crowded along the shore.

⁴⁰When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

¹⁴But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”

¹⁵After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent word to them: “Brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, please speak.”

⁸Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his whole household believed in the Lord. And many of the Corinthians who heard the message believed and were baptized.

¹⁷At this, the crowd seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.

³⁵While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

³⁶But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

¹⁸While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”

¹⁹So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

¹³Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God.

¹⁸they will pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well.”

⁴⁰At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

⁸The father of Publius was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him, and after praying and placing his hands on him, he healed the man.

³²Some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and hardly able to speak, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.

²³So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man’s eyes and placed His hands on him. “Can you see anything?” He asked.

³¹His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

⁹Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready for Him so that the crowd would not crush Him.

¹⁰For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him.

²⁰Then Jesus went home, and once again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples could not even eat.

⁶So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

⁴⁵“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

³⁸how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.

²⁵When a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days at a time other than her menstrual period, or if it continues beyond her period, she will be unclean all the days of her unclean discharge, just as she is during the days of her menstruation.

²⁶Any bed on which she lies or any furniture on which she sits during the days of her discharge will be unclean, like her bed during her menstrual period.

⁴³including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

⁴⁴She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

²⁰Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

²¹She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”

¹⁹When a woman has a discharge consisting of blood from her body, she will be unclean due to her menstruation for seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean until evening.

²⁰Anything on which she lies or sits during her menstruation will be unclean,

⁵One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

⁶When Jesus saw him lying there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”

¹¹and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.

¹²For this is what the Lord says: “Your injury is incurable; your wound is grievous.

¹³There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sores, no recovery for you.

⁴You, however, smear with lies; you are all worthless physicians.

¹²Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.

²²Is there no balm in Gilead? Is no physician there? Why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?

⁸Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been shattered. Wail for her; get her balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.

¹²so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and the diseases and evil spirits left them.

¹⁵As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.

³⁶and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.

⁵⁶And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.

²¹Once, as the Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders, so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. And as soon as his body touched the bones of Elisha, the man was revived and stood up on his feet.

³⁴“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

³He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,

²O Lord my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

¹⁰For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him.

³He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

²⁰He sent forth His word and healed them; He rescued them from the Pit.

¹⁹The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

⁴⁶But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

¹⁷One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.

⁹But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

⁴⁵“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

¹²As the day neared its end, the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside for lodging and provisions. For we are in a desolate place here.”

⁴⁷Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.

¹²When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear.

¹²How can I repay the Lord for all His goodness to me?

¹³I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.

²O Lord my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

²⁹Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.

²Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—

³He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,

⁴⁸“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

²²Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that very hour.

⁵⁰And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

⁴²“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”

²⁹Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

⁹This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.

⁴⁹While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

³⁹“Take away the stone,” Jesus said. “Lord, by now he stinks,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man. “It has already been four days.”

¹⁷As Jesus started on His way, a man ran up and knelt before Him. “Good Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

⁶So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

⁷That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

²⁵Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

²²A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

⁵⁰But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

²⁸After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.

²⁹Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

⁴⁰Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

²³“If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”

¹⁸Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.”

¹⁹Without weakening in his faith, he acknowledged the decrepitness of his body (since he was about a hundred years old) and the lifelessness of Sarah’s womb.

³⁴“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

³³He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.

⁴⁰Then Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down and prayed, and turning toward her body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.

¹This is the third time I am coming to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”

²After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them.

⁵¹When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

²³When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

²⁴“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

⁵²Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

⁵³And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

¹⁷This is what the Lord of Hosts says: “Take note, and summon the wailing women; send for the most skillful among them.

¹⁸Let them come quickly and take up a lament over us, that our eyes may overflow with tears, and our eyelids may gush with water.

²²A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

¹⁷‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

³⁹So Peter got up and went with them. On his arrival, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.

¹⁰But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him. “Do not be alarmed!” he said. “He is still alive!”

¹⁰He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.

²And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt.

³⁰That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

¹³Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.

¹⁴For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.

¹¹After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”

¹²His disciples replied, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get better.”

¹⁹But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard about this, they mocked us and ridiculed us, saying, “What is this you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king?”

⁶Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.

⁴I am a laughingstock to my friends, though I called on God, and He answered. The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock.

¹⁴The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

⁵³And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

²⁴“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

²⁵After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.

³¹So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.

¹⁴Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

¹⁵And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

²⁸Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice

²⁹and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

⁵⁴But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

⁵⁵Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

⁴³After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴⁴The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. “Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.

²¹who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.

²⁷All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”

¹⁰they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

¹¹While the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and ran to them in the walkway called Solomon’s Colonnade.

⁵¹Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

⁴¹Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”

³⁷The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”

⁴Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”

³⁶Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.

⁴³Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:

³⁰And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

⁵⁶Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.

⁹As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone about this vision until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
