LUKE 8:22 Now 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.
8:23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling [with water], and were in jeopardy.
8:24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm.
8:25 But He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, "Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!"
8:26 Then they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
8:27 And 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.
8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!"
8:29 For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.
8:30 Jesus asked him, saying, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion," because many demons had entered him.
8:31 And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss.
8:32 Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them.
8:33 Then 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.
8:34 When those who fed [them] saw what had happened, they fled and told [it] in the city and in the country.
8:35 Then 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.
8:36 They also who had seen [it] told them by what means he who had been demonpossessed was healed.
8:37 Then 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.
8:38 Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
8:39 "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.
8:40 So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.
8:41 And 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,
8:42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.
8:43 Now 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,
8:44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
8:45 And Jesus said, "Who touched Me?" When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, `Who touched Me?'"
8:46 But Jesus said, "Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me."
8:47 Now 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.
8:48 And He said to her, "Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
8:49 While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's [house], saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher."
8:50 But when Jesus heard [it], He answered him, saying, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well."
8:51 When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.
8:52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, "Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping."
8:53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.
8:54 But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, "Little girl, arise."
8:55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given [something] to eat.
8:56 And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
=================================================================
LUKAS 8:22 Pada suatu hari Yesus naik ke dalam perahu bersama-sama dengan murid-murid-Nya, dan Ia berkata kepada mereka: "Marilah kita bertolak ke seberang danau." Lalu bertolaklah mereka.
8:23 Dan ketika mereka sedang berlayar, Yesus tertidur. Sekonyong-konyong turunlah taufan ke danau, sehingga perahu itu kemasukan air dan mereka berada dalam bahaya.
8:24 Maka datanglah murid-murid-Nya membangunkan Dia, katanya: "Guru, Guru, kita binasa!" Iapun bangun, lalu menghardik angin dan air yang mengamuk itu. Dan angin dan air itupun reda dan danau itu menjadi teduh.
8:25 Lalu kata-Nya kepada mereka: "Di manakah kepercayaanmu?" Maka takutlah mereka dan heran, lalu berkata seorang kepada yang lain: "Siapa gerangan orang ini, sehingga Ia memberi perintah kepada angin dan air dan mereka taat kepada-Nya?"
8:26 Lalu mendaratlah Yesus dan murid-murid-Nya di tanah orang Gerasa yang terletak di seberang Galilea.
8:27 Setelah Yesus naik ke darat, datanglah seorang laki-laki dari kota itu menemui Dia; orang itu dirasuki oleh setan-setan dan sudah lama ia tidak berpakaian dan tidak tinggal dalam rumah, tetapi dalam pekuburan.
8:28 Ketika ia melihat Yesus, ia berteriak lalu tersungkur di hadapan-Nya dan berkata dengan suara keras: "Apa urusan-Mu dengan aku, hai Yesus Anak Allah Yang Mahatinggi? Aku memohon kepada-Mu, supaya Engkau jangan menyiksa aku."
8:29 Ia berkata demikian sebab Yesus memerintahkan roh jahat itu keluar dari orang itu. Karena sering roh itu menyeret-nyeret dia, maka untuk menjaganya, ia dirantai dan dibelenggu, tetapi ia memutuskan segala pengikat itu dan ia dihalau oleh setan itu ke tempat-tempat yang sunyi.
8:30 Dan Yesus bertanya kepadanya: "Siapakah namamu?" Jawabnya: "Legion," karena ia kerasukan banyak setan.
8:31 Lalu setan-setan itu memohon kepada Yesus, supaya Ia jangan memerintahkan mereka masuk ke dalam jurang maut.
8:32 Adalah di sana sejumlah besar babi sedang mencari makan di lereng gunung, lalu setan-setan itu meminta kepada Yesus, supaya Ia memperkenankan mereka memasuki babi-babi itu. Yesus mengabulkan permintaan mereka.
8:33 Lalu keluarlah setan-setan itu dari orang itu dan memasuki babi-babi itu. Kawanan babi itu terjun dari tepi jurang ke dalam danau lalu mati lemas.
8:34 Setelah penjaga-penjaga babi itu melihat apa yang telah terjadi, mereka lari lalu menceritakan hal itu di kota dan di kampung-kampung sekitarnya.
8:35 Dan keluarlah orang-orang untuk melihat apa yang telah terjadi. Mereka datang kepada Yesus dan mereka menjumpai orang yang telah ditinggalkan setan-setan itu duduk di kaki Yesus; ia telah berpakaian dan sudah waras. Maka takutlah mereka.
8:36 Orang-orang yang telah melihat sendiri hal itu memberitahukan kepada mereka, bagaimana orang yang dirasuk setan itu telah diselamatkan.
8:37 Lalu seluruh penduduk daerah Gerasa meminta kepada Yesus, supaya Ia meninggalkan mereka, sebab mereka sangat ketakutan. Maka naiklah Ia ke dalam perahu, lalu berlayar kembali.
8:38 Dan orang yang telah ditinggalkan setan-setan itu meminta supaya ia diperkenankan menyertai-Nya. Tetapi Yesus menyuruh dia pergi, kata-Nya:
8:39 "Pulanglah ke rumahmu dan ceriterakanlah segala sesuatu yang telah diperbuat Allah atasmu." Orang itupun pergi mengelilingi seluruh kota dan memberitahukan segala apa yang telah diperbuat Yesus atas dirinya.
8:40 Ketika Yesus kembali, orang banyak menyambut Dia sebab mereka semua menanti-nantikan Dia.
8:41 Maka datanglah seorang yang bernama Yairus. Ia adalah kepala rumah ibadat. Sambil tersungkur di depan kaki Yesus ia memohon kepada-Nya, supaya Yesus datang ke rumahnya,
8:42 karena anaknya perempuan yang satu-satunya, yang berumur kira-kira dua belas tahun, hampir mati. Dalam perjalanan ke situ Yesus didesak-desak orang banyak.
8:43 Adalah seorang perempuan yang sudah dua belas tahun menderita pendarahan dan yang tidak berhasil disembuhkan oleh siapapun.
8:44 Ia maju mendekati Yesus dari belakang dan menjamah jumbai jubah-Nya, dan seketika itu juga berhentilah pendarahannya.
8:45 Lalu kata Yesus: "Siapa yang menjamah Aku?" Dan karena tidak ada yang mengakuinya, berkatalah Petrus: "Guru, orang banyak mengerumuni dan mendesak Engkau."
8:46 Tetapi Yesus berkata: "Ada seorang yang menjamah Aku, sebab Aku merasa ada kuasa keluar dari diri-Ku."
8:47 Ketika perempuan itu melihat, bahwa perbuatannya itu ketahuan, ia datang dengan gemetar, tersungkur di depan-Nya dan menceriterakan kepada orang banyak apa sebabnya ia menjamah Dia dan bahwa ia seketika itu juga menjadi sembuh.
8:48 Maka kata-Nya kepada perempuan itu: "Hai anak-Ku, imanmu telah menyelamatkan engkau, pergilah dengan selamat!"
8:49 Ketika Yesus masih berbicara, datanglah seorang dari keluarga kepala rumah ibadat itu dan berkata: "Anakmu sudah mati, jangan lagi engkau menyusah-nyusahkan Guru!"
8:50 Tetapi Yesus mendengarnya dan berkata kepada Yairus: "Jangan takut, percaya saja, dan anakmu akan selamat."
8:51 Setibanya di rumah Yairus, Yesus tidak memperbolehkan seorangpun ikut masuk dengan Dia, kecuali Petrus, Yohanes dan Yakobus dan ayah anak itu serta ibunya.
8:52 Semua orang menangis dan meratapi anak itu. Akan tetapi Yesus berkata: "Jangan menangis; ia tidak mati, tetapi tidur."
8:53 Mereka menertawakan Dia, karena mereka tahu bahwa anak itu telah mati.
8:54 Lalu Yesus memegang tangan anak itu dan berseru, kata-Nya: "Hai anak bangunlah!"
8:55 Maka kembalilah roh anak itu dan seketika itu juga ia bangkit berdiri. Lalu Yesus menyuruh mereka memberi anak itu makan.
8:56 Dan takjublah orang tua anak itu, tetapi Yesus melarang mereka memberitahukan kepada siapapun juga apa yang terjadi itu.
