St. Cyril of Alexandria

1. 0. Greeting

1 [[Luke 8.37]] a And all the multitude of the Gadarenes entreated him to depart from them, because that great fear took hold upon them.

2, 3 [[Matthew 9.1]] But Jesus went up into the ship, and crossed, and came to his city. [[Luke 8.38]] And that man from whom the devils went out entreated that he might stay with him; but 4 Jesus sent him away, and said to him, [[Luke 8.39]] a Return to your house, and make known what 5 God has done for you. [[Mark 5.20]] And he went, and began to publish in Decapolis what Jesus had done for him; and they all marvelled.

6 And when Jesus had crossed in the ship to that side, a great multitude received 7 him; and they were all looking for him. [[Luke 8.41]] a And a man named Jairus, the chief of the 8 synagogue, fell before the feet of Jesus, [[Mark 5.23]] a and besought him much, and said to him, I have an only daughter, and she has come near unto death; [[Matthew 9.18]] b but come and lay your 9 hand upon her, and she shall live. [[Matthew 9.19]] And Jesus rose, and his disciples, and they followed 10 him. [[Mark 5.24]] b And there joined him a great multitude, and they pressed him.

11, 12 [[Mark 5.25]] And a woman, which had a flow of blood for twelve years, [[Mark 5.26]] had suffered much of many physicians, and spent all that she had, and was not benefited at all, but her 13 trouble increased further. [[Mark 5.27]] And when she heard of Jesus, she came in the thronging of 14 [Arabic, p. 47] the crowd behind him, and touched his garments; [[Mark 5.28]] and she thought within 15 herself, If I could reach to touch his garments, I should live. [[Mark 5.29]] And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried; and she felt in her body that she was healed 16 of her plague. [[Mark 5.30]] And Jesus straightway knew within himself that power had gone out of him; and he turned to the crowd, and said, Who approached unto my garments? 17 [[Luke 8.45]] b And on their denying, all of them, Simon Cephas and those with him said to him, Our Master, the multitudes throng you and press you, and do you say, Who approached 18 unto me? [[Luke 8.46]] And he said, Some one approached unto me; and I knew that 19 power went forth from me. [[Luke 8.47]] a And that woman, when she saw that she was not hid 20 from him, came fearing and agitated (for she knew what had happened to her), and fell down and worshipped him, and told, in the presence of all the people, for what 21 reason she touched him, and how she was healed immediately. And Jesus said to her, Be of good courage, daughter; your faith has made you alive; depart in peace, and be whole from your plague.

22 [[Luke 8.49]] And while he was yet speaking, there came a man from the house of the chief of the synagogue, and said to him, Your daughter has died; so trouble not the 23 teacher. [[Luke 8.50]] But Jesus heard, and said to the father of the maid, Fear not: but believe 24 only, and she shall live. [[Mark 5.37]] And he suffered no man to go with him, except 25 Simon Cephas,
