  Luke chapter 8. Soon afterwards he began going
• 0:03
  around from one city and village to another, proclaiming and
• 0:06
  preaching the Kingdom of God. The 12 were with him and also
• 0:10
  some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses.
• 0:13
  Mary, who was called Magdalene, from whom 7 demons had gone out,
• 0:17
  and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod, Stewart, and Susanna, and
• 0:21
  many others who were contributing to their support
• 0:23
  out of their private means. When a large crowd was coming
• 0:27
  together and those from the various cities were journeying
• 0:29
  to him, he spoke by way of a parable.
• 0:32
  The sower went out to sow his seed, and as he sowed, some fell
• 0:36
  beside the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the
• 0:39
  birds of the air ate it up. Other seed fell on rocky soil,
• 0:43
  and as soon as it grew up it withered away because it had no
• 0:46
  moisture. Other seed fell among the
• 0:49
  thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it out.
• 0:52
  Other seed fell into the good soil and grew up and produced a
• 0:56
  crop 100 times as great. As he said these things he would
• 1:00
  call out, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
• 1:04
  His disciples began questioning him as to what this parable
• 1:07
  meant. And he said to you, it has been
• 1:10
  granted to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the
• 1:13
  rest it is in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and
• 1:17
  hearing they may not understand. Now the parable is this.
• 1:20
  The seed is the Word of God. Those beside the road are those
• 1:24
  who have heard, and the devil comes and takes away the word
• 1:27
  from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved.
• 1:31
  Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear,
• 1:34
  receive the Word with joy, and these have no firm root.
• 1:38
  They believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away the
• 1:43
  seed which fell among the thorns.
• 1:45
  These are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their
• 1:47
  way, they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures
• 1:50
  of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity but the seed in the
• 1:54
  good soil. These are the ones who have
• 1:56
  heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast and
• 2:00
  bear fruit with perseverance. Now no one, after lighting a
• 2:04
  lamp, covers it over with a container or puts it under a
• 2:07
  bed, but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who
• 2:10
  come in may see the light. For nothing is hidden that will
• 2:13
  not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known
• 2:16
  and come to light. So take care how you listen, for
• 2:20
  whoever has to him more shall be given, and whoever does not have
• 2:24
  even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him.
• 2:28
  And his mother and brothers came to him, and they were unable to
• 2:31
  get to him because of the crowd. And it was reported to him, Your
• 2:34
  mother and your brothers are standing outside wishing to see
• 2:37
  you. But he answered and said to
• 2:39
  them, My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of
• 2:42
  God and do it. Now on one of those days Jesus
• 2:46
  and his disciples got into a boat, and he said to them, Let
• 2:49
  us go over to the other side of the lake.
• 2:51
  So they launched out, but as they were sailing along, he fell
• 2:55
  asleep, and a fierce Gale of wind descended on the lake, and
• 2:58
  they began to be swamped and to be in danger.
• 3:01
  They came to Jesus and woke him up, saying, Master, Master, we
• 3:04
  are perishing. And he got up and rebuked the
• 3:07
  wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became
• 3:10
  calm. And he said to them, Where is
• 3:12
  your faith? They were fearful and amazed,
• 3:15
  saying to one another, Who then is this, that he commands even
• 3:19
  the winds in the water, and they obey him.
• 3:22
  Then they sailed to the country of the garrisons, which is
• 3:25
  opposite Galilee. And when he came out onto the
• 3:27
  land, he was met by a man from the city who was possessed with
• 3:31
  demons and who had not put on any clothing for a long time,
• 3:34
  and was not living in a house but in the tombs.
• 3:37
  Seeing Jesus, he cried out and fell before him and said in a
• 3:40
  loud voice, What business do we have with each other?
• 3:43
  Jesus, Son of the Most High God, I beg you, do not torment me.
• 3:48
  For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man,
• 3:51
  for it had seized him many times, and he was bound with
• 3:53
  chains and shackles and kept under guard.
• 3:56
  And yet he would break his bonds and be driven by the demon into
• 3:59
  the desert. And Jesus asked him, What is
• 4:02
  your name? And he said Legion, For many
• 4:05
  demons had entered him. They were imploring him not to
• 4:08
  command them to go away into the abyss.
• 4:12
  Now there was a herd of many swine feeding there on the
• 4:14
  mountain, and the demons implored him to permit them to
• 4:16
  enter the swine, and he gave them permission.
• 4:19
  The demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the
• 4:22
  herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
• 4:26
  When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and
• 4:29
  reported it in the city and out in the country.
• 4:32
  The people went out to see what had happened, and they came to
• 4:35
  Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out
• 4:38
  sitting down at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right
• 4:41
  mind, and they became frightened.
• 4:44
  Those who had seen it reported to them how the man who was
• 4:46
  demon possessed had been made well, and all the people of the
• 4:49
  country of the garrisons in the surrounding district asked him
• 4:52
  to leave them, for they were gripped with great fear.
• 4:55
  And he got into a boat and returned.
• 4:58
  But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging him
• 5:00
  that he might accompany him, for he sent him away, saying, Return
• 5:04
  to your house and describe what great things God has done for
• 5:07
  you. So he went away, proclaiming
• 5:10
  throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for
• 5:12
  him. And as Jesus returned, the
• 5:15
  people welcomed him, for they had all been waiting for him.
• 5:18
  And there came a man named Jairus, and he was an official
• 5:21
  of the synagogue. And he fell at Jesus feet and
• 5:24
  began to implore him to come to his house, for he had an only
• 5:27
  daughter, about 12 years old, and she was dying.
• 5:32
  But as he went, the crowds were pressing against him, and a
• 5:35
  woman who had a hemorrhage for 12 years and could not be healed
• 5:38
  by anyone came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak.
• 5:42
  And immediately her hemorrhage stopped.
• 5:45
  And Jesus said, Who is the one who touched me?
• 5:47
  And while they were all denying it, Peter said, Master, the
• 5:51
  people are crowding and pressing in on you.
• 5:53
  But Jesus said, someone did touch me, for I was aware that
• 5:56
  power had gone out of me. When the woman saw that she had
• 6:00
  not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before
• 6:02
  him, and declared in the presence of all the people the
• 6:05
  reason why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately
• 6:08
  healed. And he said to her, daughter,
• 6:11
  Your faith has made you well, Go in peace.
• 6:14
  While he was still speaking, someone came from the House of
• 6:16
  the synagogue official saying, Your daughter has died, do not
• 6:20
  trouble the teacher any more. But when Jesus heard this, he
• 6:23
  answered him, Do not be afraid any longer, only believe, and
• 6:27
  she will be made well. When he came to the house he did
• 6:30
  not allow anyone to enter with him except Peter and John and
• 6:33
  James and the girl's father and mother.
• 6:37
  Now they were all weeping and lamenting for her, but he said,
• 6:40
  Stop weeping, for she has not died, but is asleep.
• 6:44
  And they began laughing at him, knowing that she had died.
• 6:47
  He, however, took her by the hand and called, saying, Child
• 6:51
  arise. And her spirit returned, and she
• 6:54
  got up immediately. And he gave orders for something
• 6:56
  to be given her to eat. Her parents were amazed, but he
• 7:00
  instructed them to tell no one what had happened.
