uMarko 5:1-20

Baza bawelela ngaphesheya kolwandle, kummandla wamaGadara. Akuba ephumile emkhombeni, wahlangatyezwa kwaoko ngumntu onomoya ongcolileyo, ephuma emangcwabeni, owayenekhaya lakhe emangcwabeni; kwaye kungekho bani unako ukumbopha nangemixokelelwane; Ngokuba wayebotshwa futhi ngamakhamandela nemixokelelwane, asuke amatyathanga asuke asuke akhe, awakroboze namakhamandela; Ube ehlala ubusuku nemini esezintabeni nasemangcwabeni ekhala, ezicenta ngamatye. Uthe ke akumbona uYesu esekude, wabaleka, waqubuda kuye. Wadanduluka ngezwi elikhulu, wathi, Yintoni na enam nawe, Yesu, Nyana kaThixo Osenyangweni? Ndikufungisa uThixo, ukuba ungandithuthumbisi. Kuba ebethe kuye, Phuma emntwini apho, moyandini ungcolileyo. Yambuza ke esithi, Ungubani na igama lakho? Waphendula ke yena esithi, NdinguMkhosi igama lam; kuba sibaninzi. Waye ke embongoza kakhulu ukuba angabandululi bemke kwelo zwe. Bekukho ke apho ngasezintabeni ugxuba olukhulu lweehagu lusidla. Zambongoza zonke iindimoni, zisithi, Sithumele ezihagwini, ukuze singene kuzo. Wazivumela kwaoko uYesu. Baphuma ke oomoya abangcolileyo, baya kungena ezihagwini; lwaza ugxuba olo lwaphaphatheka, lwehla eweni, lwela elwandle; Bathe ke abo babezalusa iihagu basaba, babika ekhaya nasemaphandleni. Baphuma ke abantu, baya kuyibona loo nto ihlileyo. Bafike kuYesu, bambone obephethwe ziidemon, lowo ke wayenomkhosi, ehleli, ambathisiwe, enengqondo ephilileyo; baza boyika. Baza abo babeyibonile le nto babacokisela, ukuba kuthekeni na kobephethwe ziidemon; kwanokweehagu. Baqala ukumbongoza ukuba emke emideni yabo. Akuba engene emkhombeni, lowo ubephethwe ziidemon wambongoza ukuba abe naye. Kodwa uYesu akamvumelanga. Usuke wathi kuye, Hamba, uye endlwini yakho kwabakowenu, ubabikele oko zingako ukuba zinkulu izinto ekwenzele zona iNkosi, yaba nenceba kuwe. Wemka, waqala ukuzivakalisa eDekapoli oko zingako ukuba zinkulu izinto uYesu abemenzele zona; bamangaliswa bonke.
