Jesus went to the Gerasenes region and was encountered by a spirit-possessed man who lived in the tombs and was unchainable. He told Jesus his name "Legion" but Jesus delivered him and sent the evil spirits from him into a herd of 2,000 pigs which committed suicide, but the man ended up "sitting, dressed and in his right mind". Then a synagogue ruler called Jairus asked Jesus to go with him to heal his 12-year-old daughter, but on the way he was delayed healing a woman "who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years". The woman touched the hem of Jesus' garment and received her healing. When Jesus finally arrived at Jairus's house his daughter had already died, but Jesus said to him: "Don't be afraid. Just believe!" Then Jesus took the girl by the hand and told her to "get up". Immediately she got up and walked around so that people "were completely astonished".
