1 YAHUSHA and His Disciples went across the lake to the area where the Gadareane people lived. 2 When YAHUSHA got out of the boat, a man came to Him from the caves where the dead are buried. This man had an evil demon spirit living inside him. 3 He lived in the burial caves. No one could keep him tied up, even with chains. 4 Many times people had put chains on his hands and feet, but he broke the chains. No one was strong enough to control him. 5 Day and night he stayed around the burial caves and on the hills, screaming and cutting himself with rocks.
6 While YAHUSHA was still far away, the man saw Him. He ran to YAHUSHA and bowed down before Him. 7-8 And as YAHUSHA said, “You evil spirit, come out of this man,” the man shouted loudly, “WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME, YAHUSHA, SON OF THE MOST HIGH ALAHIM? I BEG YOU IN ALAHIM'S NAME NOT TO PUNISH ME!” 9 Then YAHUSHA asked the man, “What is your name?” The man answered, “MY NAME IS LEGION FOR THERE ARE MANY OF US” 10 The spirits inside the man begged YAHUSHA again and again not to send them out of that area. 11 A large herd of pigs was eating on a hill near there. 12 The evil spirits begged YAHUSHA, “Send us to the pigs. Let us go into them.”
13 So YAHUSHA allowed them to do this. The demons left the man and went into the pigs. Then the herd of pigs ran down the hill and into the lake. They were all drowned. There were about 2000 pigs in that herd. 14 The men who had the job of caring for the pigs ran away to the town and to the farms and told everyone what happened. The people went out to see. 15 They came to YAHUSHA, and they saw the man who had the many evil spirits. He was sitting down and was wearing clothes. He was in his right mind in all sanity again. And when they saw this, they were afraid.
16 Those who had seen what YAHUSHA did, told the others what happened to the man who had the demons living in him. And they also told about the pigs. 17 Then the people began to beg YAHUSHA to leave their area. 18 YAHUSHA was preparing to leave in the boat. The man who was now free from the demons begged to go with Him. 19 But YAHUSHA did not allow the man to go. He said, “Go home to your family and friends. Tell them about all that the Master did for you. Tell them how good YAHUAH is to you.” 20 So the man left and told the people in the Ten Towns about the great things YAHUSHA did for him. And everyone was amazed.
21 YAHUSHA went back to the other side of the lake in the boat. There, a large crowd of people gathered around Him on the shore. 22 A leader of the Synagogue came. His name was Jairus. He saw YAHUSHA and bowed down before Him. 23 He begged YAHUSHA again and again, saying, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and lay your hands on her. Then she will be healed and will live.” 24 So YAHUSHA went with Jairus. Many people followed YAHUSHA. They were pushing very close around Him.
25 There among the people was a woman who had been bleeding for the past twelve years. 26 She had suffered very much and Many doctors had tried to help her, so all the money she had was spent, but she was not improving. In fact, her sickness was getting worse. 27 The woman heard about YAHUSHA, so she followed Him with the other people and touched His garment. 28 For she thought, “If I can just touch His clothes, that will be enough to heal me.” 29 And as soon as she touched His garment (THE TSIT ON THE CORNER OF HIS GARMENT), her bleeding stopped. She felt that her body was healed from all the suffering. 30 YAHUSHA immediately felt power go out from Him, so He stopped and turned around. “Who touched Me?” He asked. 31 The Disciples said to YAHUSHA, “There are so many people pushing against You... why would You ask who’s touching You?” 32 But YAHUSHA continued looking for the one who touched Him. 33 The woman knew that she was healed, so she came and bowed at YAHUSHA’ feet. She was shaking with fear. She told YAHUSHA the whole story. 34 He said to her, “Dear woman, you are made well because you believed. Go in peace. You will not suffer anymore.”
THE FACT THAT YAHUSHA (LIKE EVERY JEW) WORE TSIT TSITS IS NO INDICATION THAT HIS BRIDE NEED INCORPORATE THEM INTO THEIR FASHION ACCESSORIES TODAY ... HIS WORD IS WRITTEN ON OUR NEW HEARTS BY HIS NEW SPIRIT AND WE HAVE NO NEED OF EXTERNAL TRINKETS OR TRADITIONS!
35 While YAHUSHA was still there speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the Synagogue leader. They said, “Your daughter is dead. There is no need to bother the Teacher now.” 36 But YAHUSHA didn’t care what the men said. He told the Synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid, just believe.” 37 YAHUSHA let only James, and John the brother of James go with Him. 38 They went to the Synagogue leader’s house, where YAHUSHA saw many people crying loudly. There was a lot of confusion. 39 He entered the house and said, “Why are you people crying and making so much noise? This child is not dead. She’s only sleeping.” 40 But everyone laughed at Him.
YAHUSHA then told the people to leave the house. Then He went into the room where the child was. He brought the child’s father and mother and his three followers into the room with Him. 41 Then Peter, YAHUSHA held the girl’s hand and said to her, “Talitha, kumi!” (This means “Little girl, I tell you to stand up!”) 42 The girl immediately stood up and began walking. (She was twelve years old.) The father and mother and the followers were amazed. 43 YAHUSHA gave the father and mother very strict orders not to tell anyone people about this. Then He told them to give the girl some food to eat.
