1 Un Viņi nonāca viņpus jūras geraziešu zemē.

2 Un Viņam, izkāpjot no laivas, tūdaļ no kapiem nāca pretim nešķīstā gara apsēsts cilvēks.

3 Viņam bija mītne kapos; un neviens nevarēja viņu pat važām sasiet,

4 Jo bieži viņš, sasiets kāju valgā un važās, sarāva važas un salauza valgu; un neviens nespēja viņu savaldīt.

5 Un vienmēr dienām un naktīm viņš mita kapos un kalnos, kliedza un sevi dauzīja akmeņiem.

6 Bet ieraudzījis Jēzu tālumā, tas pieskrēja un pielūdza Viņu.

7 Un viņš, kliegdams stiprā balsī, sacīja: Kas man un Tev, Jēzu, Dieva Visaugstākā Dēls? Es zvērinu Tevi pie Dieva, nemoci mani!

8 Jo Viņš tam sacīja: Nešķīstais gars, izej no šī cilvēka!

9 Un Viņš tam jautāja: Kāds tavs vārds? Un tas atbildēja Viņam: Leģions mans vārds, jo mēs esam daudz.

10 Un tas Viņu ļoti lūdza, lai Viņš tos no šī apgabala neizdzītu.

11 Bet tur pie kalna ganījās liels cūku bars.

12 Un gari lūdza Viņu, sacīdami: Sūti mūs cūkās, lai mēs tanīs ieejam!

13 Un Jēzus tūdaļ atļāva tiem. Un nešķīstie gari izgāja un iegāja cūkās, un cūku bars, kurā bija ap divi tūkstoši, lielā ātrumā metās jūrā un noslīka.

14 Bet to gani aizbēga un pastāstīja pilsētā un laukos. Un iedzīvotāji izgāja raudzīt, kas noticis.

15 Un viņi nāca pie Jēzus un redzēja to, kas tika ļaunā gara mocīts, sēžam apģērbtu un pilnā prātā; un tie ļoti nobijās.

16 Un tie, kas to bija redzējuši, stāstīja viņiem, kas notika ar ļaunā gara apsēsto un cūkām.

17 Un tie sāka Viņu lūgt, lai Viņš aizietu no to robežām.

18 Bet kad Viņš kāpa laivā, sāka Viņu lūgt tas, kas bija ļaunā gara apsēts, lai tas varētu palikt pie Viņa.

19 Un Viņš tam neatļāva, bet sacīja tam: Ej savās mājās pie savējiem un pasludini viņiem, kādas lielas lietas Kungs tev darījis un ka Viņš par tevi apžēlojies!

20 Un viņš aizgāja un desmit pilsētu apgabalā sāka sludināt, ko Jēzus viņam darījis, un visi brīnījās.

21 Un kad Jēzus atkal laivā pārcēlās pāri jūrai, pie Viņa sapulcējās liels ļaužu pulks; un Viņš bija pie jūras.

22 Un nāca pie Viņa viens no sinagogas priekšniekiem, Jairs vārdā, un, redzēdams Viņu, krita pie Viņa kājām,

23 Un ļoti Viņu lūdza, sacīdams: Mana meitiņa ir pie miršanas; nāc, uzliec viņai savu roku, lai tā kļūtu vesela un dzīvotu!

24 Un Viņš aizgāja kopā ar to. Un daudz ļaužu sekoja Viņam un drūzmējās ap Viņu.

25 Un bija sieviete, kas divpadsmit gadu cieta no asins tecēšanas.

26 Tā bija daudz cietusi no daudziem ārstiem un bija iztērējusi visu savu mantu, bet, palīdzību neatradusi, bija nonākusi vēl ļaunākā stāvoklī.

27 Viņa, izdzirdusi par Jēzu, nāca ļaužu pulkā un no mugurpuses pieskārās Viņa drēbēm.

28 Jo tā sacīja: Ja tikai pieskaršos Viņa drēbēm, es kļūšu vesela.

29 Un tūdaļ viņas asins avots izsīka; un viņa sajuta savās miesās, ka tā no šīs kaites izdziedināta.

30 Un Jēzus tūdaļ, sevī nomanīdams, ka spēks no Viņa izgājis, pagriezās pret ļaudīm un sacīja: Kas skāra manas drēbes?

31 Un Viņa mācekļi sacīja Viņam: Tu redzi, ka ļaudis spiežas pie Tevis, un Tu saki: kas man pieskārās?

32 Un Viņš apskatījās, lai redzētu to, kas to bija darījusi.

33 Bet sieviete, nobijusies un trīcēdama, zinādama, kas ar viņu noticis, nāca un krita Viņa priekšā zemē un teica Viņam visu patiesību.

34 Bet Viņš tai sacīja: Meit, tava ticība tevi darījusi veselu! Ej mierā un esi vesela no savas kaites!

35 Viņam vēl runājot, nāca pie sinagogas priekšnieka un sacīja: Tava meita jau mirusi, ko vēl apgrūtini Mācītāju?

36 Bet Jēzus, izdzirdis vārdus, kas bija sacīti, teica sinagogas priekšniekam: Nebīsties, tikai tici!

37 Un Viņš neļāva nevienam sev līdz iet, kā vien Pēterim un Jēkabam, un Jānim, Jēkaba brālim.

38 Un viņi nonāca sinagogas priekšnieka namā; un Viņš redzēja uzbudinājumu un tos, kas raudāja un daudz vaimanāja.

39 Un Viņš, iegājis, sacīja tiem: Ko jūs trokšņojat un raudat? Meitiņa nav mirusi, bet guļ.

40 Un tie izsmēja Viņu. Bet Viņš, visus izraidījis, paņēma līdz meitiņas tēvu un māti, un tos, kas ar Viņu bija, un iegāja, kur meitiņa gulēja.

41 Un Viņš, satvēris meitiņas roku, sacīja tai: Talita, kumi! Tulkojumā: Meitiņ, es tev saku, celies augšām!

42 Un meitiņa tūlīt uzcēlās un staigāja, jo tā bija divpadsmit gadus veca. Un tos pārņēma liels izbrīns.

43 Un Viņš tiem stingri piekodināja, lai neviens par to neuzzinātu; un Viņš lika dot tai ēst.

10155. 'And they will recognize that I am Jehovah their God' means perception that the Lord is the source of all good and all truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'recognizing' as understanding, believing, and perceiving, dealt with below. The reason why perceiving that the Lord is the source of all good and all truth is meant is that the names Jehovah and God are used, and the Lord is called Jehovah by virtue of good and God by virtue of truth, see 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, 3921, 4287, 4402, 7010, 9167.

The reason why 'recognizing' means understanding, believing, and perceiving is that the word is used in reference both to the human power of understanding and to the power of will. When used in reference solely to the power of understanding it means understanding; when used in reference to the understanding and at the same time the will it means believing; and when used in reference solely to the will it means perceiving. With those therefore who merely know of something and as a result think about it, recognizing implies understanding. But with those who possess faith, recognizing implies believing, and with those who have love, recognizing implies perceiving.

[2] When however recognizing is coupled with understanding, seeing, or believing, 'recognizing' means perceiving; for understanding, seeing, and believing are connected with the understanding, consequently with truth, whereas perceiving is connected with the will, consequently with good, as in John,

Peter said, We have believed and recognized that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. John 6:69.

In the same gospel,

Jesus said, Believe the works, that you may recognize and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father. John 10:38.

In the same gospel,

Jesus said, If you recognize Me you recognize My Father, and from now on you recognize Him and have seen Him. John 14:7.

In the same gospel,

The Spirit of truth will be sent, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor recognizes Him. But you recognize Him, because He remains with you and will be in you. John 14:16-17.

In Mark,

Jesus spoke in parables, so that seeing they may see and not recognize. Mark 4:11-12.

In Jeremiah,

... that you may recognize and see that it is evil and bitter to depart from Jehovah your God. Jeremiah 2:19.

In the same prophet,

Let him who glories glory in this, to understand and to recognize Me, that I am Jehovah. Jeremiah 9:24.

In Hosea,

I will betroth you to Me in faith, and you will recognize Jehovah. Hosea 2:20.

[3] In these places 'recognizing' means perceiving, and perceiving comes about as a result of good, whereas understanding and seeing come about as a result of truth. For inwardly within themselves those in whom good or love is predominant perceive that something is so, whereas within themselves those in whom truth or faith is predominant see that it is such. Therefore perception that something is so exists among those who are in the Lord's celestial kingdom, but belief that it is so among those who are in the Lord's spiritual kingdom, see the places referred to in 9277, and what has been stated in 9992, 9995, 10105. And what perception is, see 125, 371, 483, 495, 503, 521, 536, 597, 607, 1121, 1384, 1387, 1398, 1442, 1919, 2144, 2515, 2831, 3528, 5121, 5145, 5227, 7680, 7977, 8780.

[4] In addition, since the proper meaning of 'recognizing' is perceiving as a result of good, reference is made in Deuteronomy 8:5 to recognizing from the heart; for 'from the heart' means from the good of love, 3883-3896, 7542, 9050, 9300, 9495. Therefore also doing good is referred to as recognizing Jehovah, Jeremiah 22:16.

From all this it is evident that 'they will recognize that I am Jehovah their God' means perception that the Lord is the source of all goodness and truth.

1384. As to the first kind - the angelic, which consists in the angels perceiving what is true and good, perceiving what is from the Lord and what from self, and perceiving the source and nature of their own thoughts, speech, and actions when these spring from self - I have been allowed to talk to members 1 of the Most Ancient Church about their perception. They said that from themselves they neither think nor are able to think anything at all, and that from themselves do not will anything at all, but that in every single thing which they think or will they perceive what comes from the Lord and what from some other source. They also perceive, they have said, not only how much comes from the Lord and how much seemingly from themselves, but also when it seemingly comes from themselves, where it in fact comes from. They in that case perceive which angels it comes from, what is the character of those angels, and what their thoughts are, down to the smallest difference. Thus they perceive what the influx is, and countless other things. Perceptions of this kind exist in great variety. With celestial angels in whom love to the Lord reigns there is a perception of good, and from this of every aspect of truth. And because good is the source of the truth they perceive, they do not entertain any talk about truth, still less any reasoning about it, but simply say, It is so; or, It is not so; whereas spiritual angels, who also have perception, though not such as celestial angels have, are disposed to talk about truth and good. All the same, spiritual angels do perceive these, although with differences, for there are countless varieties of this perception. Such varieties are directly related to their perceiving whether something flows from the Lord's will, or from His consent, or from His permission - these being quite distinct from one another.
