This book
This book has ECM (Editio Critica Maior) apparatus at many verses — hover shows manuscripts cited at that verse. The full book catalog (all manuscripts containing Mark) is available too.
The chapter view is for reading and quick manuscript discovery. Hover verse superscripts for a preview; open the verse page for full lists, timelines, and analysis tools.
Two manuscript lists
ECM books show both lists: witnesses at this verse (ECM) and all manuscripts whose surviving text includes this book (book catalog). The book catalog is the same at every verse in the book.
- Book catalog
- Manuscripts whose surviving text includes this book (from the Kurzgefaßte Liste catalog). The same list appears at every verse — it is not verse-specific attestation.
- ECM
- The Editio Critica Maior (ECM) is the scholarly critical edition of the Greek New Testament. Its apparatus records which manuscripts attest each textual variant at a specific verse.
- ECM at this verse
- Manuscripts cited in the Editio Critica Maior (ECM) apparatus at this specific verse — witnesses for textual variants here. This is usually a smaller set than the full book catalog.
ECM Books tagged ECM have verse-level textual apparatus from the Editio Critica Maior. Other NT books still show the full book-level manuscript catalog on hover.

1On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.2As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, He was met by a man with an unclean spirit, who was coming from the tombs.3This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.4Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.5Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.6When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.7And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”8For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”9“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”10And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.11There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.12So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”13He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.14Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.15When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.16Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.17And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.18As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.19But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”20So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.21When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.22A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet23and pleaded with Him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Please come and place Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.”24So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.25And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.26She had borne much agony under the care of many physicians and had spent all she had, but to no avail. Instead, her condition had only grown worse.27When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.28For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”29Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.30At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”31His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”32But He kept looking around to see who had done this.33Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him trembling in fear, and she told Him the whole truth.34“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”35While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”36But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”37And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.38When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.39He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”40And they laughed at Him. After He had put them all outside, He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and went in to see the child.41Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”42Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.43Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
