8 Right after that he travel from city to city and from village to village, to preach the good news about God Kingdom. The 12 apostle dem wor with him.
2 He move demons from in some women dem and he heal their sickness. This women dem wor also with him: Mary who they call Mag′da·lene. He move seven demon dem from in her.
3 Also Jo·an′na who wor Chu′za wife, the man who wor taking care of Herod house, Su·san′na, and plenty other women dem who wor using their things to help them.
4 So when plenty people came together with the people who follow him from city to city, Jesus use example to teach them:
5 “One farmer went to plant his seed. When he wor planting, some of them fall down near the road and people step on it, and the bird dem eat it.
6 Some of them fall down on the rock, and after they grow small, they die because they wor not having water.
7 Some of them fall down among the thorns, and the thorns that grow up with them stop them from growing.
8 But some of them fall down on the good soil, and after they grow, they bear 100 times more than what they plant.” When he wor saying this thing dem, he tell them say: “Let the person who want listen, listen good-good.”
9 But his disciple dem ask him to explain what the example mean.
10 He say: “God na allow you to understand the holy secrets about God Kingdom, but for the other people, he use examples so that even though they looking, they will look and still they will not see anything, and even though they hearing, they will hear and still they will not understand it.
11 That the meaning of the example here: The seed that God word.
12 The one dem that fall down near the road, that the people who hear God word, and the Devil came and move the word from in their hearts so that they can’t believe it and be save.
13 The seed dem that fall down on the rock, that the people who hear God word, and they wor happy to accept it. But they looking like plant that not get any root. They believe it for some time, but when something test them, they leave the truth.
14 But for the one dem that fall down among the thorns, they looking like people who hear God word, but they allow too much worry, money, and the enjoyment in life, to make them to not be focus. So this thing dem kill the word and make them to not bear any fruit.
15 But the seed dem that fall down on the good soil, that the people dem who hear God word, and they accept it and stick to it. And they bear fruit even though they going through problem.
16 “When somebody finish lighting the lamp, they can’t cover it with something or put it under the bed, but they can put it on the table so that when people come inside they can see the light.
17 Because people can’t hide anything that will not come outside, and anything that they hide good-good, people will get to know about it.
18 So, yor must listen good-good, because anybody who get something, God will give him more, but the person who not get anything, even what he think he get God will take it from him.”
19 His ma and his brother dem came to him, but they wor not able to reach near him because of the people.
20 So they tell him say: “Your ma and your brother dem standing outside, and they want see you.”
21 Jesus tell them say: “My ma and my brother dem that the people who hear God word and do it.”
22 One day he and his disciple dem got in one boat, and he tell them say: “Let go on the other side of the lake.” So they started going.
23 But when they wor going, sleep carry him. Then strong breeze started blowing on the lake, and water started getting in the boat and small more the boat wor coming go under the water.
24 So they went and wake him up, and say: “Teacher, teacher, we coming die!” So he got up and command the breeze and the water to stop, and the whole place got quiet.
25 Then he tell them say: “Why yor not get faith in God?” But they wor really scare and surprise, and they wor saying to each other: “Who this man? Because he can even order the breeze and the water, and they can obey him.”
26 Then they reach in the area they call the Ger′a·senes, that opposite Gal′i·lee.
27 When Jesus got down from the boat, one man from the city who wor having demon came to meet him. This man not use to wear clothes for long time, and he wor not living in any house, but he wor living in the graveyard.
28 When he saw Jesus, he shout with loud voice, and kneel down in front of him, and say: “Jesus, Son of the Most High God, what you want from me? I beg you, don’t punish me.”
29 (Because Jesus wor commanding the demon to come from in the man. Plenty time the demon use to control him, and the people use to tie him over and over with chain and mind him. But he use to cut the chain and the demon use to make him to go to different-different place where nobody wor eh.)
30 Jesus ask him: “What your name?” He say: “My name Legion,” because plenty demon dem wor inside him.
31 And they continue begging him for him to not send them in the abyss.*
32 That time, plenty pigs wor on the mountain eating, so they beg him to allow them to go in the pigs, and he allow them to go.
33 So the demon dem move from in the man and went in the pigs, and the pigs rush to the edge of the mountain and fall down in the lake and die.
34 But when the people who wor taking care of the pigs saw what happen, they run and carry the news in the city and all the areas around the city.
35 Then the people went to see what happen. They came to Jesus and saw the man who wor having the demon dem before, he wor having clothes on him and he wor alright. The man wor sitting down near Jesus, and they got scare.
36 The people who saw the thing dem that happen explain how the man who wor having the demon dem got well.
37 Then plenty people from the area they call the Ger′a·senes tell Jesus to move from in their area, because they wor scare bad way. So Jesus got in the boat and left from there.
38 But the man who wor having the demon before continue to beg Jesus to go with him, but he tell the man to go back, and he say:
39 “Go back to your relative dem, and continue telling them what God na do for you.” So he went and started telling the people in the whole city what Jesus na do for him.
40 When Jesus went back to Gal′i·lee, the people welcome him, because all of them wor expecting him.
41 But one man came, his name wor Ja′i·rus, he wor the leader for the synagogue. And he kneel down in front of Jesus and started begging him to come to his house.
42 Because his only daughter, who wor around 12 years old, wor dying.
When Jesus wor going, the people wor pushing each other to get close to him.
43 And one woman wor there who wor having sickness that made her to lose blood for 12 years, and nobody wor able to cure her from her sickness.
44 She came from behind and touch the down part of his clothes, and right away she stop losing blood.
45 So Jesus say: “Who touch me?” When everybody wor saying they not touch him, Peter say: “Teacher, you see the people all around you, pushing to get close to you.”
46 But Jesus say: “Somebody touch me, because I know that power move from in me.”
47 When the woman saw that Jesus knew what she na do, she started trembling and she came and kneel down in front of him. And she tell him in front of everybody, why she touch him and how she got well right away.
48 But he tell her say: “My daughter, your faith na make you well. Go and don’t worry.”
49 When he wor still talking, somebody came from Ja′i·rus house and say: “Your daughter na die, don’t give the Teacher hard time again.”
50 When Jesus hear this one, he tell him say: “Don’t be scare, just get faith, and she will be alright.”
51 When he reach to the house, he not let anybody to go inside with him except Peter, John, James, and the girl ma and pa.
52 But all the people wor crying and showing that they wor really sorry for what happen to the child. So he say: “Yor stop crying, because she not die but she sleeping.”
53 When they hear it, they started laughing at him and making fun out of him, because they knew the child na die.
54 But he hold her hand and tell her say: “Small girl, get up!”
55 And she came back to life,* and right away she get up, and he tell them to give her something to eat.
56 Her parent dem wor really happy, but he tell them to not tell anybody about what happen.
