swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep
place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in
the sea. And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city,
and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was
done. And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the
devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind:
and they were afraid. And they that saw it told them how it befell to
him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the
devil prayed him that he might be with him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him
not, but saith unto him:
"Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath
done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee."
And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things
Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much

heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For
she said:
"If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole."
And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in
her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately
knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in
the press, and said:
"Who touched my clothes?"
And his disciples said unto him:
"Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, 'Who touched
me?'"
And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. But the
woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and
fell down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her:
