LUKE 8
Women who followed Jesus
1Soon afterward, Jesus traveled through the cities and villages, preaching and proclaiming the good news of God’s kingdom. The Twelve were with him, 2along with some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses. Among them were Mary Magdalene (from whom seven demons had been thrown out), 3Joanna (the wife of Herod’s servant Chuza), Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources.
Parable of the soils
4When a great crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from one city after another, he spoke to them in a parable: 5“A farmer went out to scatter his seed. As he was scattering it, some fell on the path where it was crushed, and the birds in the sky came and ate it. 6Other seed fell on rock. As it grew, it dried up because it had no moisture. 7Other seed fell among thorny plants. The thorns grew with the plants and choked them. 8Still other seed landed on good soil. When it grew, it produced one hundred times more grain than was scattered.” As he said this, he called out, “Everyone who has ears should pay attention.”
9His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10He said, “You have been given the mysteries of God’s kingdom, but these mysteries come to everyone else in parables so thatwhen they see, they can’t see, and when they hear, they can’t understand.
11 “The parable means this: The seed is God’s word. 12The seed on the path are those who hear, but then the devil comes and steals the word from their hearts so that they won’t believe and be saved. 13The seed on the rock are those who receive the word joyfully when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while but fall away when they are tempted. 14As for the seed that fell among thorny plants, these are the ones who, as they go about their lives, are choked by the concerns, riches, and pleasures of life, and their fruit never matures. 15The seed that fell on good soil are those who hear the word and commit themselves to it with a good and upright heart. Through their resolve, they bear fruit.
Sharing the light
16“No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on top of a lampstand so that those who enter can see the light. 17Nothing is hidden that won’t be exposed. Nor is anything concealed that won’t be made known and brought to the light. 18Therefore, listen carefully. Those who have will receive more, but as for those who don’t have, even what they seem to have will be taken away from them.”
Jesus’ family
19Jesus’ mother and brothers came to him but were unable to reach him because of the crowd. 20Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who listen to God’s word and do it.”
Jesus calms the sea
22One day Jesus and his disciples boarded a boat. He said to them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they set sail.
23While they were sailing, he fell asleep. Gale-force winds swept down on the lake. The boat was filling up with water and they were in danger. 24So they went and woke Jesus, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” But he got up and gave orders to the wind and the violent waves. The storm died down and it was calm.
25He said to his disciples, “Where is your faith?”
Filled with awe and wonder, they said to each other, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him!”
Jesus frees a demon-possessed man
26Jesus and his disciples sailed to the Gerasenes’ land, which is across the lake from Galilee. 27As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, a certain man met him. The man was from the city and was possessed by demons. For a long time, he had lived among the tombs, naked and homeless. 28When he saw Jesus, he shrieked and fell down before him. Then he shouted, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29He said this because Jesus had already commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had taken possession of him, so he would be bound with leg irons and chains and placed under guard. But he would break his restraints, and the demon would force him into the wilderness.
30Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had entered him. 31They pleaded with him not to order them to go back into the abyss. 32A large herd of pigs was feeding on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission, 33and the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and drowned.
34When those who tended the pigs saw what happened, they ran away and told the story in the city and in the countryside. 35People came to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone. He was sitting at Jesus’ feet, fully dressed and completely sane. They were filled with awe. 36Those people who had actually seen what had happened told them how the demon-possessed man had been delivered. 37Then everyone gathered from the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave their area because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and returned across the lake. 38The man from whom the demons had gone begged to come along with Jesus as one of his disciples. Jesus sent him away, saying, 39“Return home and tell the story of what God has done for you.” So he went throughout the city proclaiming what Jesus had done for him.
Jesus heals two women
40When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they had been waiting for him. 41A man named Jairus, who was a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He pleaded with Jesus to come to his house 42because his only daughter, a twelve-year-old, was dying.
As Jesus moved forward, he faced smothering crowds. 43A woman was there who had been bleeding for twelve years. She had spent her entire livelihood on doctors, but no one could heal her. 44She came up behind him and touched the hem of his clothes, and at once her bleeding stopped.
45“Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
When everyone denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing in on you!”
46But Jesus said, “Someone touched me. I know that power has gone out from me.”
47When the woman saw that she couldn’t escape notice, she came trembling and fell before Jesus. In front of everyone, she explained why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.
48“Daughter, your faith has healed you,” Jesus said. “Go in peace.”
49While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader’s house, saying to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. Don’t bother the teacher any longer.”
50When Jesus heard this, he responded, “Don’t be afraid; just keep trusting, and she will be healed.”
51When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother. 52They were all crying and mourning for her, but Jesus said, “Don’t cry. She isn’t dead. She’s only sleeping.”
53They laughed at him because they knew she was dead.
54Taking her hand, Jesus called out, “Child, get up.” 55Her life returned and she got up at once. He directed them to give her something to eat. 56Her parents were beside themselves with joy, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
Amen.

When Jesus heard this, he responded, “Don’t be afraid just keep trusting.
