Luke 8:17-27

17 "¹For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

18 "So take care how you listen; ²for whoever * has, to him more shall be given; and whoever * does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him."

19 ³And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable * to get to Him because of the crowd.

20 And it was reported to Him, "Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You."

21 But He answered and said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these ⁴who hear the word of God and do it."

Jesus Stills the Sea

22 ⁵Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, "Let us go over to the other side of ⁶the lake." So they launched out.

23 But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on ⁷the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger.

24 They came to Jesus and woke Him up, saying, "⁸Master, Master, we are perishing!" And He got up and ⁹rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm.

25 And He said to them, "Where is your faith?" They were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, "Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?"

The Demoniac Cured

26 ¹⁰Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

27 And when He came out onto the land, He was met by a man from the city who was possessed with demons; and who had not put on any clothing for a long time, and was not living in a house, but in the tombs.
