After throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him.

Then Jesus got up early in the morning when it was still very dark, departed, and went out to a deserted place, and there he spent time in prayer.

He replied, “Let us go elsewhere, into the surrounding villages, so that I can preach there too. For that is what I came out here to do.”

So he went into all of Galilee preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.

Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be clean!”

So many gathered that there was no longer any room, not even by the door, and he preached the word to them.

Those who had seen what had happened to the demon-possessed man reported it, and they also told about the pigs.

Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came up, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.

When he entered he said to them, “Why are you distressed and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.”

He strictly ordered that no one should know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.
