Lucas 8

1En el tiempo siguiente anduvo caminando por ciudades y aldeas, predicando y anunciando la Buena Nueva del reino de Dios, y con Él los Doce,

2y también algunas mujeres, que habían sido sanadas de espíritus malignos y enfermedades: María, la llamada Magdalena, de la cual habían salido siete demonios;

3Juana, mujer de Cuzá el intendente de Herodes; Susana, y muchas otras, las cuales les proveían del propio sustento de ellas.

4Como se juntase una gran multitud, y además los que venían a Él de todas las ciudades, dijo en parábola:

5“El sembrador salió a sembrar su simiente. Y al sembrar, una semilla cayó a lo largo del camino; y fue pisada y la comieron las aves del cielo.

6Otra cayó en la piedra y, nacida, se secó por no tener humedad.

7Otra cayó en medio de abrojos, y los abrojos, que nacieron juntamente con ella, la sofocaron.

8Y otra cayó en buena tierra, y brotando dio fruto centuplicado”. Diciendo esto, clamó: “¡Quien tiene oídos para oír oiga!”

9Sus discípulos le preguntaron lo que significaba esta parábola.

10Les dijo: “A vosotros ha sido dado conocer los misterios del reino de Dios; en cuanto a los demás ( se les habla) por parábolas, para que «mirando, no vean; y oyendo, no entiendan».

11La parábola es esta: «La simiente es la palabra de Dios.

12Los de junto al camino, son los que han oído; mas luego viene el diablo, y saca afuera del corazón la palabra para que no crean y se salven.

13Los de sobre la piedra, son aquellos que al oír la palabra la reciben con gozo, pero carecen de raíz: creen por un tiempo, y a la hora de la prueba, apostatan.

14Lo caído entre los abrojos, son los que oyen, mas siguiendo su camino son sofocados por los afanes de la riqueza y los placeres de la vida, y no llegan a madurar.

15Y lo caído en la buena tierra, son aquellos que oyen con el corazón recto y bien dispuesto y guardan consigo la palabra y dan fruto en la perseverancia».”

16Nadie que enciende luz, la cubre con una vasija ni la pone bajo la cama, sino en el candelero, para que todos los que entren, vean la luz.

17Nada hay oculto que no deba ser manifestado, ni nada secreto que no deba ser conocido y sacado a luz.

18¡Cuidad de escuchar bien! Al que tiene, se le dará, y al que no tiene, aun lo que cree tener le será quitado”.

19Luego su madre y sus hermanos se presentaron y no podían llegar hasta Él por causa de la multitud.

20Le anunciaron: “Tu madre y tus hermanos están de pie afuera y desean verte”.

21Respondioles y dijo: “Mi madre y mis hermanos son estos: los que oyen la palabra de Dios y la practican”.

22Por aquellos días subió con sus discípulos en una barca, y les dijo: “Pasemos a la otra orilla del lago”, y partieron.

23Mientras navegaban, se durmió. Entonces un torbellino de viento cayó sobre el lago, y las aguas los iban cubriendo, y peligraban.

24Acercándose a Él, lo despertaron diciendo: “¡Maestro, Maestro, perecemos!” Despierto, Él increpó al viento y al oleaje, y cesaron, y hubo bonanza.

25Entonces les dijo: “¿Dónde está vuestra fe?” Y llenos de miedo y de admiración, se dijeron unos a otros: “¿Quién, pues, es Este que manda a los vientos y al agua, y le obedecen?”.

26Y abordaron en la tierra de los gergesenos, que está en la ribera opuesta a Galilea.

27Cuando hubo descendido a tierra, vino a su encuentro un hombre de la ciudad, que tenía demonios; hacía mucho tiempo que no llevaba ningún vestido, ni vivía en casa, sino en los sepulcros.

28Al ver a Jesús, dio gritos, postrose ante Él y dijo a gran voz: “¿Qué tenemos que ver yo y Tú, Jesús, hijo del Dios Altísimo? Te ruego que no me atormentes”.

29Y era que Él estaba mandando al espíritu inmundo que saliese del hombre. Porque hacía mucho tiempo que se había apoderado de él; lo ataban con cadenas y lo sujetaban con grillos, pero él rompía sus ataduras, y el demonio lo empujaba al despoblado.

30Y Jesús le preguntó: “¿Cuál es tu nombre?” Respondió: “Legión”; porque eran muchos los demonios que habían entrado en él.

31Y le suplicaron que no les mandase ir al abismo.

32Ahora bien, había allí una piara de muchos puercos que pacían sobre la montaña; le rogaron que les permitiese entrar en ellos, y se lo permitió.

33Entonces los demonios salieron del hombre y entraron en los puercos, y la piara se despeñó precipitadamente en el lago, y allí se ahogó.

34Los porqueros que vieron lo ocurrido huyeron y dieron la noticia en la ciudad y por los campos.

35Vinieron, pues, las gentes a ver lo que había pasado, y al llegar junto a Jesús, encontraron al hombre, del cual los demonios habían salido, sentado a los pies de Jesús, vestido, en su sano juicio, y se llenaron de miedo.

36Los que lo habían visto les refirieron cómo había quedado libre el endemoniado.

37Y todos los pobladores de la comarca de los gergesenos le rogaron a Jesús que se alejara de ellos, porque estaban poseídos de gran temor. Y Él, entrando en la barca, se volvió,

38Y el hombre, del cual los demonios habían salido, le suplicaba estar con Él; pero Él lo despidió diciéndole:

39“Vuelve de nuevo a tu casa, y cuenta todo lo que Dios ha hecho contigo”. Y él se fue proclamando por toda la ciudad todas las cosas que le había hecho Jesús.

40A su regreso, Jesús fue recibido por la multitud, porque estaban todos esperándolo.

41He ahí que llegó un hombre llamado Jairo, que era jefe de la sinagoga. Se echó a los pies de Jesús y le suplicó que fuera a su casa;

42porque su hija única, como de doce años de edad, se moría. Mas yendo Él, la multitud lo sofocaba.

43Y sucedió que una mujer que padecía de un flujo de sangre, desde hacía doce años y que, después de haber gastado en médicos todo su sustento, no había podido ser curada por ninguno,

44se acercó por detrás y tocó la franja de su vestido, y al instante su flujo de sangre se paró.

45Jesús dijo: “¿Quién me tocó?” Como todos negaban, Pedro le dijo: “Maestro, es la gente que te estrecha y te aprieta”.

46Pero Jesús dijo: “Alguien me tocó, porque he sentido salir virtud de Mí”.

47Entonces, la mujer, viéndose descubierta, vino toda temblorosa a echarse a sus pies y declaró delante de todo el pueblo por qué motivo lo había tocado, y cómo había quedado sana de repente.

48Y Él le dijo: “Hija, tu fe te ha salvado, ve hacia la paz”.

49Cuando Él hablaba todavía, llegó uno de casa del jefe de la sinagoga a decirle: “Tu hija ha muerto, no molestes más al Maestro”.

50Oyendo Jesús, le dijo: “No temas; únicamente cree y sanará”.

51Llegado, después, a la casa, no dejó entrar a nadie consigo, excepto a Pedro, Juan y Santiago, y también al padre y a la madre de la niña.

52Todos lloraban y se lamentaban por ella. Mas Él dijo: “No lloréis; no ha muerto, sino que duerme”.

53Y se reían de Él, sabiendo que ella había muerto.

54Mas Él, tomándola de la mano, clamó diciendo: “Niña, despierta”.

55Y le volvió el espíritu, y al punto se levantó y Jesús mandó que le diesen de comer.

56Sus padres quedaron fuera de sí; y Él les encomendó que a nadie dijeran lo acontecido.

1Et factum est deinceps, et ipse iter faciebat per civitates, et castella prædicans, et evangelizans regnum Dei: et duodecim cum illo,

2et mulieres aliquæ, quæ erant curatæ a spiritibus malignis et infirmatibus: Maria, quæ vocatur Magdalene, de qua septem dæmonia exierant,

3et Joanna uxor Chusæ procuratoris Herodis, et Susanna, et aliæ multæ, quæ ministrabant ei de facultatibus suis.

4Cum autem turba plurima convenirent, et de civitatibus properarent ad eum, dixit per similitudinem:

5Exiit qui seminat, seminare semen suum. Et dum seminat, aliud cecidit secus viam, et conculcatum est, et volucres cæli comederunt illud.

6Et aliud cecidit supra petram: et natum aruit, quia non habebat humorem.

7Et aliud cecidit inter spinas, et simul exortæ spinæ suffocaverunt illud.

8Et aliud cecidit in terram bonam: et ortum fecit fructum centuplum. Hæc dicens clamabat: Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.

9Interrogabant autem eum discipuli ejus, quæ esset hæc parabola.

10Quibus ipse dixit: Vobis datum est nosse mysterium regni Dei, ceteris autem in parabolis: ut videntes non videant, et audientes non intelligant.

11Est autem hæc parabola: Semen est verbum Dei.

12Qui autem secus viam, hi sunt qui audiunt: deinde venit diabolus, et tollit verbum de corde eorum, ne credentes salvi fiant.

13Nam qui supra petram, qui cum audierint, cum gaudio suscipiunt verbum: et hi radices non habent: qui ad tempus credunt, et in tempore tentationis recedunt.

14Quod autem in spinas cecidit: hi sunt qui audierunt, et a sollicitudinibus, et divitiis, et voluptatibus vitæ euntes, suffocantur, et non referunt fructum.

15Quod autem in bonam terram: hi sunt qui in corde bono et optimo audientes verbum retinent, et fructum afferunt in patientia.

16Nemo autem lucernam accendens, operit eam vase, aut subtus lectum ponit: sed supra candelabrum ponit, ut intrantes videant lumen.

17Non est enim occultum, quod non manifestetur: nec absconditum, quod non cognoscatur, et in palam veniat.

18Videte ergo quomodo audiatis? Qui enim habet, dabitur illi: et quicumque non habet, etiam quod putat se habere, auferetur ab illo.

19Venerunt autem ad illum mater et fratres ejus, et non poterant adire eum præ turba.

20Et nuntiatum est illi: Mater tua et fratres tui stant foris, volentes te videre.

21Qui respondens, dixit ad eos: Mater mea et fratres mei hi sunt, qui verbum Dei audiunt et faciunt.

22Factum est autem in una dierum: et ipse ascendit in naviculam, et discipuli ejus, et ait ad illos: Transfretemus trans stagnum. Et ascenderunt.

23Et navigantibus illis, obdormivit, et descendit procella venti in stagnum, et complebantur, et periclitabantur.

24Accedentes autem suscitaverunt eum, dicentes: Præceptor, perimus. At ille surgens, increpavit ventum, et tempestatem aquæ, et cessavit: et facta est tranquillitas.

25Dixit autem illis: Ubi est fides vestra? Qui timentes, mirati sunt ad invicem, dicentes: Quis putas hic est, quia et ventis, et mari imperat, et obediunt ei?

26Et navigaverunt ad regionem Gerasenorum, quæ est contra Galilæam.

27Et cum egressus esset ad terram, occurrit illi vir quidam, qui habebat dæmonium jam temporibus multis, et vestimento non induebatur, neque in domo manebat, sed in monumentis.

28Is, ut vidit Jesum, procidit ante illum: et exclamans voce magna, dixit: Quid mihi et tibi est, Jesu Fili Dei Altissimi? obsecro te, ne me torqueas.

29Præcipiebat enim spiritui immundo ut exiret ab homine. Multis enim temporibus arripiebat illum, et vinciebatur catenis, et compedibus custoditus. Et ruptis vinculis agebatur a dæmonio in deserta.

30Interrogavit autem illum Jesus, dicens: Quod tibi nomen est? At ille dixit: Legio: quia intraverant dæmonia multa in eum.

31Et rogabant illum ne imperaret illis ut in abyssum irent.

32Erat autem ibi grex porcorum multorum pascentium in monte: et rogabant eum, ut permitteret eis in illos ingredi. Et permisit illis.

33Exierunt ergo dæmonia ab homine, et intraverunt in porcos: et impetu abiit grex per præceps in stagnum, et suffocatus est.

34Quod ut viderunt factum qui pascebant, fugerunt, et nuntiaverunt in civitatem et in villas.

35Exierunt autem videre quod factum est, et venerunt ad Jesum, et invenerunt hominem sedentem, a quo dæmonia exierant, vestitum ac sana mente, ad pedes ejus, et timuerunt.

36Nuntiaverunt autem illis et qui viderant, quomodo sanus factus esset a legione:

37et rogaverunt illum omnis multitudo regionis Gerasenorum ut discederet ab ipsis: quia magno timore tenebantur. Ipse autem ascendens navim, reversus est.

38Et rogabat illum vir, a quo dæmonia exierant, ut cum eo esset. Dimisit autem eum Jesus, dicens:

39Redi in domum tuam, et narra quanta tibi fecit Deus. Et abiit per universam civitatem, prædicans quanta illi fecisset Jesus.

40Factum est autem cum rediisset Jesus, excepit illum turba: erunt enim omnes exspectantes eum.

41Et ecce venit vir, cui nomen Jairus, et ipse princeps synagogæ erat: et cecidit ad pedes Jesu, rogans eum ut intraret in domum ejus,

42quia unica filia erat ei fere annorum duodecim, et hæc moriebatur. Et contigit, dum iret, a turba comprimebatur.

43Et mulier quædam erat in fluxu sanguinis ab annis duodecim, quæ in medicos erogaverat omnem substantiam suam, nec ab ullo potuit curari:

44accessit retro, et tetigit fimbriam vestimenti ejus: et confestim stetit fluxus sanguinis ejus.

45Et ait Jesus: Quis est, qui me tetigit? Negantibus autem omnibus, dixit Petrus, et qui cum illo erant: Præceptor, turbæ te comprimunt, et affligunt, et dicis: Quis me tetigit?

46Et dicit Jesus: Tetigit me aliquis: nam ego novi virtutem de me exiisse.

47Videns autem mulier, quia non latuit, tremens venit, et procidit ante pedes ejus: et ob quam causam tetigerit eum, indicavit coram omni populo: et quemadmodum confestim sanata sit.

48At ipse dixit ei: Filia, fides tua salvam te fecit: vade in pace.

49Adhuc illo loquente, venit quidam ad principem synagogæ, dicens ei: Quia mortua est filia tua, noli vexare illum.

50Jesus autem, audito hoc verbo, respondit patri puellæ: Noli timere, crede tantum, et salva erit.

51Et cum venisset domum, non permisit intrare secum quemquam, nisi Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem, et patrem, et matrem puellæ.

52Flebant autem omnes, et plangebant illam. At ille dixit: Nolite flere: non est mortua puella, sed dormit.

53Et deridebant eum, scientes quod mortua esset.

54Ipse autem tenens manum ejus clamavit, dicens: Puella, surge.

55Et reversus est spiritus ejus, et surrexit continuo. Et jussit illi dari manducare.

56Et stupuerunt parentes ejus, quibus præcepit ne alicui dicerent quod factum erat.

1And it came to pass afterwards, that he travelled through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God; and the twelve with him:

2And certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities; Mary who is called Magdalen, out of whom seven devils were gone forth,

3And Joanna the wife of Chusa, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who ministered unto him of their substance.

4And when a very great multitude was gathered together, and hastened out of the cities unto him, he spoke by a similitude.

5The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

6And other some fell upon a rock: and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

7And other some fell among thorns, and the thorns growing up with it, choked it.

8And other some fell upon good ground; and being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

9And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.

10To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing may not understand.

11Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

12And they by the way side are they that hear; then the devil cometh, and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved.

13Now they upon the rock, are they who when they hear, receive the word with joy: and these have no roots; for they believe for a while, and in time of temptation, they fall away.

14And that which fell among thorns, are they who have heard, and going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and yield no fruit.

15But that on the good ground, are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience.

16Now no man lighting a candle covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it upon a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.

17For there is not any thing secret that shall not be made manifest, nor hidden, that shall not be known and come abroad.

18Take heed therefore how you hear. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given: and whosoever hath not, that also which he thinketh he hath, shall be taken away from him.

19And his mother and brethren came unto him; and they could not come at him for the crowd.

20And it was told him: Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

21Who answering, said to them: My mother and my brethren are they who hear the word of God, and do it.

22And it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a little ship with his disciples, and he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

23And when they were sailing, he slept; and there came down a storm of wind upon the lake, and they were filled, and were in danger.

24And they came and awaked him, saying: Master, we perish. But he arising, rebuked the wind and the rage of the water; and it ceased, and there was a calm.

25And he said to them: Where is your faith? Who being afraid, wondered, saying one to another: Who is this, (think you), that he commandeth both the winds and the sea, and they obey him?

26And they sailed to the country of the Gerasens, which is over against Galilee.

27And when he was come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time, and he wore no clothes, neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres.

28And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him; and crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.

29For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him, and he was bound with chains, and kept in fetters; and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.

30And Jesus asked him, saying: What is thy name? But he said: Legion; because many devils were entered into him.

31And they besought him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.

32And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain; and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

33The devils therefore went out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were stifled.

34Which when they that fed them saw done, they fled away, and told it in the city and in the villages.

35And they went out to see what was done; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at his feet, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

36And they also that had seen, told them how he had been healed from the legion.

37And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasens besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear. And he, going up into the ship, returned back again.

38Now the man, out of whom the devils were departed, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying:

39Return to thy house, and tell how great things God hath done to thee. And he went through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done to him.

40And it came to pass, that when Jesus was returned, the multitude received him: for they were all waiting for him.

41And behold there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, beseeching him that he would come into his house:

42For he had an only daughter, almost twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened as he went, that he was thronged by the multitudes.

43And there was a certain woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had bestowed all her substance on physicians, and could not be healed by any.

44She came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment; and immediately the issue of her blood stopped.

45And Jesus said: Who is it that touched me? And all denying, Peter and they that were with him said: Master, the multitudes throng and press thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?

46And Jesus said: Somebody hath touched me; for I know that virtue is gone out from me.

47And the woman seeing that she was not hid, came trembling, and fell down before his feet, and declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed.

48But he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go thy way in peace.

49As he was yet speaking, there cometh one to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: Thy daughter is dead, trouble him not.

50And Jesus hearing this word, answered the father of the maid: Fear not; believe only, and she shall be safe.

51And when he was come to the house, he suffered not any man to go in with him, but Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the maiden.

52And all wept and mourned for her. But he said: Weep not; the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.

53And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

54But he taking her by the hand, cried out, saying: Maid, arise.

55And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And he bid them give her to eat.

56And her parents were astonished, whom he charged to tell no man what was done.
