Bafika ngaphesheya kolwandle ezweni lamaGadara.
Kwathi esephumile emkhunjini, wahle wamhlangabeza indoda elomoya ongcolileyo ephuma emangcwabeni.
Owayehlala emangcwabeni; futhi kwakungekho muntu owayengayibopha, cha, nangamaketanga;
ngokuba wayeboshwe kaningi ngamaketanga namaketanga, kepha amaketanga ayegqashulwa nguye, nezibopho zazigqashula;
Njalo ubusuku nemini wayesezintabeni nasemathuneni ememeza, ezisika ngamatshe.
Kodwa wathi ebona uJesu esekhatshana, wagijima wakhuleka kuye.
Wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: “Nginamsebenzi muni nawe Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngikufungisa uNkulunkulu ukuthi ungangihluphi.
Ngoba wathi kuye: Phuma kumuntu, moya ongcolileyo.
Wasembuza wathi: Ungubani ibizo lakho? Wasephendula wathi: Ibizo lami nginguLegiyoni, ngoba sibanengi.
Wamncenga kakhulu ukuthi angabamukisi kulelo zwe.
Kwakukhona lapho umhlambi omkhulu wezingulube uklabile entabeni.
Amadimoni wonke amncenga, esithi: Sithumele engulubeni, ukuze singene kuzo.
Njalo uJesu wahle wawavumela. Omoya abangcolileyo basebephuma, bangena ezingulubeni; umhlambi waphaphatheka, wehla eweni, waya elwandle, zingaba yizinkulungwane ezimbili, zaminza olwandle.
Abelusi bezingulube babaleka, babika emzini nasemaphandleni. Base bephuma ukuyobona ukuthi kwenzekeni.
Bafika kuJesu, bambona obekhwelwe ngamademoni ehlezi, embethe, esangulukile, owayekhwelwe ngamademoni; base besaba.
Lababekubonile babalandisa ukuthi kwenzeke kanjani kowayekhwelwe ngamademoni nangezingulube.
Base beqala ukumncenga ukuba amuke emikhawulweni yabo.
Kwathi esengenile emkhunjini, obekhwelwe ngamadimoni wamncenga ukuthi abe laye.
Kodwa uJesu kamvumelanga, kodwa wathi kuye: Hamba uye ekhaya kwabakini, ubatshele ukuthi kungakanani iNkosi ekwenzele khona, lakuhawukela.
Wamuka, waqala ukushumayela eDekapholi ukuthi kungakanani uJesu amenzele khona; bamangala bonke.
Kwathi uJesu esephinde wawelela ngaphesheya ngomkhumbi, kwabuthana kuye isixuku esikhulu;
Bheka, kwafika omunye wabaphathi besinagoge, nguJayiru igama lakhe; kwathi embona wawa ngasezinyaweni zakhe.
Wamncenga kakhulu, esithi: “Indodakazi yami encane isigulela ukufa; njalo uzaphila.
UJesu wayesehamba naye; abantu abaningi bamlandela, bamminyezela.
Owesifazane othile owayenomopho iminyaka eyishumi nambili.
Esehlupheke ngokunengi kubelaphi abanengi, esechithe konke ayelakho, njalo engasizakalanga, kodwa kwaba kubi kakhulu;
Kwathi esezwile ngoJesu, weza esixukwini ngemva, wathinta isembatho sakhe.
Ngoba wathi: Uba ngingathinta nje izembatho zakhe, ngizasinda.
Njalo wahle woma umthombo wegazi lakhe; wezwa emzimbeni ukuthi uphulukisiwe kuleso sifo.
UJesu ebona masinyane phakathi kwakhe ukuthi amandla aphumile kuye, waphenduka esixukwini wathi: “Ngubani othinte izingubo zami na?
Abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: Uyabona ixuku likuminyezela, uthi: Ngubani ongithintileyo?
Wasethalaza ukuze abone okwenzileyo lokho.
Kodwa owesifazana ngokwesaba lokuthuthumela, ekwazi okwenzekileyo kuye, weza wawa phansi phambi kwakhe, wamtshela iqiniso lonke.
Wathi kuye: “Ndodakazi, ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile; hamba ngokuthula, uphile ekuhluphekeni kwakho.
Esakhuluma, kwafika abanye bendlu yomphathi wesinagoge, bathi: “Indodakazi yakho isifile; usamkhathazelani uMfundisi na?
Kwathi uJesu esezwile ilizwi elishiwoyo, wathi kumphathi wesinagoge: Ungesabi, kholwa kuphela.
Akavumelanga muntu ukuba amlandele, kuphela uPetru, noJakobe, noJohane umfowabo kaJakobe.
Wafika endlini yomphathi wesinagoge, wabona isiyaluyalu nabakhala nabalila kakhulu.
Esengenile wathi kubo: “Kungani niphithizela nikhale na? Intombazana ayifile, kodwa ilele.
Basebemhleka usulu. Kepha esebakhiphe bonke, wathatha uyise womntwana nonina nababe naye, wangena lapho bekulele khona intombazana.
Wabamba isandla somntwana, wathi kuye: “Thalitha, kumi; okungukuthi ngokuhunyushwa: Ntombakazi, ngithi kuwe: Vuka.
Yasivuka masinyane intombazana, yahamba; ngoba wayeneminyaka eyishumi nambili. Bamangala ngokumangala okukhulu.
Wasebalaya kakhulu ukuthi kungaziwa muntu; walaya ukuthi aphiwe ukudla.
