\subsection{Luke 8}
\subsubsection{Iesous's Ministry and the Help of Women}
\VS{1} And it came to pass afterwards he also was traveling through according to 
city and town preaching and proclaiming the kingdom of God, and the twelve 
with him, 
\VS{2} and certain women who were healed from wicked\fnPoneros{} spirits and 
sicknesses, Maria the [one] being called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had 
come out, 
\VS{3} and Joanna [the] wife of Chouze steward of Herod, and Sousanna, 
and many others, who were serving them out of their possessions. 

\subsubsection{The Parable of the Sower}
\VS{4} Now when [a] great crowd came together and those from every village 
journeyed to him, he said by parable: 
\VS{5} The sower went out to sow his seed, and in 
sowing it some fell by the road and was trampled, and the birds of heaven 
ate it. 
\VS{6} And other fell on the rocks, and grew, was withered because 
of not having moisture. 
\VS{7} And other fell in the midst of thorn bushes, 
and the thorn bushes growing with it choked it. 
\VS{8} And other fell on the 
good soil, and grew produced fruit hundredfold. Saying these [things] he said: The 
[one] having ears to be hearing let\fnImperative{} him be hearing. 

\VS{9} Now his disciples were asking him what this parable might be. 
\VS{10} But he 
said: To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to 
the rest in parables, in order that looking they may not look and hearing 
they may not understand. 

\VS{11} Now this is the parable. The seed is the word of God. 
\VS{12} Now that by the road are those hearing, then comes the 
devil and takes the word from their hearts, in order that not having 
believed they [not] be saved. 
\VS{13} And that on the rocks are they who when 
they hear receive the word with joy, and these do not have root, who for [a] 
time\fnKairos{} believe and in time\fnKairos{} of trial fall away, 
\VS{14} so that falling in the 
thorn bushes, these are those hearing, and proceeding under the cares and 
riches and pleasures of life they are choked and do not bear\footnote{bear 
fruit to maturity} fruit. 
\VS{15} But that in the good soil, these are 
those in [the] good and sound heart who having heard the word hold fast and bear 
fruit in patience. 

\subsubsection{Showing the Light}
\VS{16} But no one having lit [a] lamp hides it in [a] vessel 
or places it under [a] basket, but places it on [a] lampstand, that those coming 
in may see the light. 
\VS{17} For nothing is hidden that will not become 
manifest, nor hidden that will \negd{not} be made known and shall 
come into manifestation. 
\VS{18} Be looking therefore how you hear; for 
whoever has, it will be given to him; and whoever has not, even what he 
supposes he has will be taken\footnote{or ``seems to have will be taken . . 
.''} from him. 

\subsubsection{Iesous's True Family}
\VS{19} Now his mother and brothers came to him, and were 
unable to meet him because of the crowd. 
\VS{20} So it was reported to him, 
Your mother and your brothers stand outside wishing to see you. 
\VS{21} But answering he said to them: My mother and my brothers are those hearing and 
doing the word of God. 

\subsubsection{Stilling a Storm}
\VS{22} Now it came to pass one day he and his 
disciples embarked in [a] boat. And he said to them: Let us proceed through to 
the other side of the lake, and they put out. 
\VS{23} Now while they were sailing he fell asleep. And there came down [a] 
storm of wind on the lake, and they were being filled [with water] and were being in danger. 
\VS{24} So coming to 
him they aroused him saying: Master, master, we are perishing. But having 
arisen he rebuked the wind and the rough water, and they ceased, and it 
became calm. 
\VS{25} But he said to them: where [is] your faith? But having been 
made afraid, they were astonished, saying to one another: Who therefore is 
this, that he rebukes the winds and the water, and they obey him? 
\VS{26} And they sailed down to the land of Gerasene, which is opposite of Galilee. 

\subsubsection{Healing of a Demoniac}
\VS{27} So when he came out on the land [a] certain man from the city met him 
having [a] demon, and for a long time did not wear [a] garment, and stayed not in 
[a] house but among the graves. 
\VS{28} So seeing Iesous, having cried out he 
fell before him and with [a] great voice said: What [is] to me and to 
you\footnote{i.e. What do we have in common}, Iesous son of the most high 
God? I beg you, do not torture me. 
\VS{29} For he commanded the unclean 
spirit to come out from the man. For he is for a long time seized, and he 
was bound with chains and fetters, being guarded, and breaking the bonds he 
was driven by the demon into the wilderness. 
\VS{30} So Iesous asked him, 
What is your name? So he said: Legion, for many demons entered into him. 
\VS{31} And he was calling upon him that he not command them to depart into 
the abyss\footnote{or ``underworld''}. 
\VS{32} Now there was there [a] sizable 
herd of pigs grazing on the mountain, and he called upon him that he permit 
them to enter into them. And he commanded them. 
\VS{33} So the demons having 
gone out from the man they entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed 
headlong down the bank into the lake and drowned. 

\VS{34} Now when those 
grazing [them] saw that which came to pass they fled and reported in the city and 
in the country. 
\VS{35} So they came out to see what came to pass, and came 
to Iesous, and found sitting the man from whom the demons came out clothed 
and of sound mind by Iesous feet, and they were made afraid. 
\VS{36} And 
those who saw reported to them how he had saved the demon possessed [one]. 
\VS{37} And all the multitude from the surrounding regions asked him to 
depart from them, for they were taken with great fear, so having embarked 
into the boat he returned. 
\VS{38} But the man from whom the demons were 
come out was begging of him to be with him, but he sent him away saying: 
\VS{39} Be returning to your house, and be relating how much God has done 
for you. And he departed by every city preaching how much Iesous had done for 
him.

\subsubsection{Restoration and Healing}
\VS{40} Now upon Iesous's return the crowd welcomed him, for they had been 
expecting him. 
\VS{41} And behold there came [a] man by name Jarius, and this 
chief of the synagogue was being present, and falling by Iesous feet he 
called upon him to enter into his house, 
\VS{42} for his only-begotten\fnMonogenes{} daughter was 
to him [about] twelve years and she was dying. 

Now when he was withdrawing the crowd was pressing him. 
\VS{43} And [a] woman being in flow of blood for twelve 
years, and having spent all her living\footnote{``having spent all her 
living'' \hesychian \koine W\sinaiticus{}; omit: \papyrus{75}B }, was not strong, being healed by 
nothing, 
\VS{44} having come from behind, grasped the hem of his robe, and 
immediately the flow of her blood stopped. 
\VS{45} And Iesous said: Who [is ]the 
[one] having grasped me? But all denying it, Peter said: Master, the crowds come 
together and press upon us. 
\VS{46} But Iesous said: Who grasped me? For I 
know [that] power has gone out from me. 
\VS{47} Now the woman having known that 
she did not escape notice, trembling came and falling before him reported 
before all the people for what cause she had grasped him, and how she was 
immediately healed. 
\VS{48} But he said to her: Daughter, your faith has saved you. Be going in peace. 

\VS{49} While he was yet speaking someone came 
by the chief of the synagogue saying that: Your daughter has died. Be no 
longer troubling the teacher. 
\VS{50} But when Iesous heard he answered to 
him: Be not fearing, only believe, and she will be saved. 
\VS{51} So when he 
came into the house he did not permit any to go in with him except Peter and 
Ioannes and James, and the father and mother of the child. 
\VS{52} And all were 
weeping and mourning her. So he said: Be not weeping, she has not died but 
sleeps. 
\VS{53} And they were mocking him, knowing that she had died. 
\VS{54} But having laid hold of her hand he spoke to her saying: Child, be 
arising. 
\VS{55} And her spirit returned, and immediately she stood up, and 
he commanded she be given [something] to eat. 
\VS{56} But he directed them to say 
nothing [concerning] what came to pass.
