18And as he was entering into the ship, he that had been possessed with demons besought him that he might be with him. 19And he suffered him not; but says to him: Go into thy house, to thy friends, and announce to them how great things the Lord has done for thee, and had compassion on thee. 20And he departed, and began to publish in the Decapolis how great things Jesus did for him; and all wondered.
21And Jesus having passed over again in the ship to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea. 22And there comes one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name. And seeing him, he fell at his feet, 23and besought him much, saying: My little daughter lies at the point of death. I pray thee come, and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed and live. 24And he went with him; and a great multitude was following him, and thronging him.
25And a certain woman, who had a flow of blood twelve years, 26and had suffered much by many physicians, and spent all that she had, and was not at all benefited but rather grew worse, 27hearing of Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment. 28For she said: If I touch even his garments, I shall be made whole. 29And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she perceived in her body that she was healed of that plague. 30And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, turned about in the crowd, and said: Who touched my garments? 31And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou: Who touched me? 32And he looked around to see her who had done this. 33But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what was done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith has made thee whole; go in peace, and be healed of thy plague.
35While he was yet speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying: Thy daughter is dead; why troublest thou the Teacher any further? 36And Jesus, overhearing the word that was spoken, says to the ruler of the synagogue: Be not afraid; only believe. 37And he suffered no one to follow with him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. 38And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he sees a tumult, and those who wept and wailed greatly. 39And entering in, he says to them: Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? The child is not dead, but is sleeping. 40And they laughed him to scorn. But he, putting them all out, takes the father of the child, and the mother, and those who were with him, and enters in where the child was. 41And taking the hand of the child, he says to her: Talitha kumi; which is interpreted, Damsel, I say to thee, arise. 42And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment. 43And he charged them strictly that no one should know this. And he commanded that something should be given her to eat.
VI. And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. 2And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing were astonished, saying: From whence has this man these things? And what is the wisdom which is given him, and such miracles wrought by his hands? 3Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. 4And Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own kindred, and in his own house. 5And he was not able to do any miracle there, save that he laid his hands on a few sick, and healed them. 6And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about the surrounding villages, teaching.
7And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them authority over the unclean spirits; 8and commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, save a staff only; no bread, no bag, no money, in their girdle; 9but that they be shod with sandals and, Put not on two coats. 10And he said to them: Wherever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart from thence. 11And whatever place shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony to them[11].
12And they went out, and preached that men should repent. 13And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
14And the king, Herod, heard of it, for his name was spread abroad; and he said: John the Immerser is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him. 15Others said: It is Elijah. And others said: It is a prophet, like any one of the prophets. 16But Herod hearing of it, said: John, whom I beheaded, is risen from the dead. 17For he, Herod, sent forth and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip, his brother; because he had married her. 18For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. 19And Herodias was angry with him, and desired to put him to death; and she could not, 20for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man; and he observed him[20], and hearing him did many things, and heard him gladly.
21And a convenient day having come, when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, and for the chief captains, and the first men of Galilee; 22and the daughter of Herodias having come in and danced, it pleased Herod and those reclining at table with him; and the king said to the damsel: Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. 23And he swore to her: Whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. 24And she, going out, said to her mother: What shall I ask? And she said: The head of John the Immerser. 25And straightway she came in with haste to the king, and asked, saying: I will that immediately thou give me, on a platter, the head of John the Immerser. 26And the king became very sorrowful; but for the sake of his oath, and of those reclining with him, he would not reject her. 27And immediately the king sent one of the guard, and commanded to bring his head. And he went and beheaded him in the prison, 28and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother. 29And his disciples hearing of it came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
30And the apostles gather together unto Jesus; and they reported to him all things, both what they did, and what they taught. 31And he said to them: Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest awhile; for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. 32And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. 33And they saw them departing, and many knew them, and ran together there on foot from all the cities, and came before them. 34And going forth he saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, because they were as sheep having no shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
