إنجيل القدّيس مرقس 20-1:5
ووَصَلَ يَسُوعُ وتَلامِيذُهُ إِلى الضَّفَّةِ الأُخْرَى مِنَ البُحَيْرَة، إِلى بَلَدِ الجِراسِيِّين.
ومَا إِنْ نَزَلَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ السَّفينَةِ حَتَّى لاقَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ القُبُورِ فِيهِ رُوحٌ نَجِس.
كانَ يَسْكُنُ في القُبُور، ومَا كانَ أَحَدٌ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُكَبِّلَهُ حَتَّى بِسِلْسِلَة.
وكَثيرًا ما كَبَّلُوهُ بِقُيُودٍ وسَلاسِل، فكَانَ يَقْطَعُ السَّلاسِل، ويَكْسِرُ القُيُود، ومَا كانَ أَحَدٌ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَضْبِطَهُ.
وكانَ عَلَى الدَّوَام، لَيْلاً ونَهَارًا، في القُبُورِ وفي الجِبَال، يَصْرُخُ ويُهَشِّمُ جَسَدَهُ بِٱلحِجَارَة.
ورَأَى يَسُوعَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ فَأَسْرَعَ إِلَيْهِ وسَجَدَ لَهُ.
وصَرَخَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وقَال: «مَا لي ولَكَ يا يَسُوعُ ٱبْنَ اللهِ العَلِيّ؟ أَسْتَحْلِفُكَ بِٱلله! لا تُعَذِّبْني!»؛
لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ كانَ يَقُولُ لَهُ: «أُخْرُجْ مِنَ الرَّجُل، أَيُّهَا الرُّوحُ النَّجِس!».
وسأَلَهُ: «مَا ٱسْمُكَ؟». فقَالَ لَهُ: «إِسْمي فِرْقَة، لأَنَّنَا كَثِيرُون!».
وكانَ يَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرًا أَنْ لا يَطْرُدَهُم مِنْ ذلِكَ البَلَد.
وكانَ هُنَاكَ قَطِيعٌ كَبيرٌ مِنَ الخَنَازيرِ يَرْعَى قُرْبَ الجَبَل.
فتَوَسَّلَتِ الأَرْوَاحُ النَّجِسَةُ إِلى يَسُوعَ قَائِلَة: «أَرْسِلْنَا إِلى الخَنَازِيرِ فَنَدْخُلَ فِيها!».
وأَذِنَ لَهَا فَخَرَجَتْ، ودَخَلَتْ في الخَنَازِير، فَإِذَا بِٱلقَطِيعِ – وعَدَدُهُ نَحْوُ أَلْفَيْن – قَدْ وَثَبَ مِنْ عَلَى المُنْحَدَرِ الوَعْر، وغَرِقَ في البُحَيْرَة.
وهَرَبَ رُعَاةُ الخَنَازِير، وأَذاعُوا الخَبَرَ في المَدِينَةِ والقُرَى، فذَهَبَ النَّاسُ لِيَرَوا ما جَرَى.
فلَمَّا وصَلُوا إِلى يَسُوعَ شَاهَدُوا المَمْسُوس، الَّذي كانَ فِيهِ فِرْقَةُ شيَاطِين، جَالِسًا، لابِسًا، سَلِيمَ العَقْل، فخَافُوا.
والَّذين رَأَوا أَخْبَرُوهُم بِمَا جَرَى لِلْمَمْسُوسِ وَلِلْخَنَازِير،
فبَدَأُوا يَتَوَسَّلُونَ إِلى يَسُوعَ أَنْ يَرْحَلَ عَنْ دِيَارِهِم.
وفِيمَا هُوَ صَاعِدٌ إِلى السَّفينَة، تَوَسَّلَ إِلَيْهِ ذَاكَ الَّذي كانَ مَمْسُوسًا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَهُ.
فلَمْ يَسْمَحْ لَهُ يَسُوع، بَلْ قَالَ لَهُ: «إِذْهَبْ إِلى بَيْتِكَ، إِلى أَهْلِكَ، وَأَخْبِرْهُم بِكُلِّ ما صَنَعَ الرَّبُّ إِلَيْك، وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ لَكَ».
فذَهَبَ وبَدَأَ يُنَادي في المُدُنِ العَشْرِ بِكُلِّ مَا صَنَعَ إِلَيْهِ يَسُوع، وكانَ الجَمْيعُ يَتَعَجَّبُون

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 4:43-54.
At that time Jesus left [Samaria] for Galilee.
For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his native place.
When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, since they had seen all he had done in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves had gone to the feast.
Then he returned to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. Now there was a royal official whose son was ill in Capernaum.
When he heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, who was near death.
Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Jesus said to him, “You may go; your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus said to him and left.
While he was on his way back, his slaves met him and told him that his boy would live.
He asked them when he began to recover. They told him, “The fever left him yesterday, about one in the afternoon.”
The father realized that just at that time Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live,” and he and his whole household came to believe.
(Now) this was the second sign Jesus did when he came to Galilee from Judea.
