Luke 8:17-27

17 There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. There is nothing kept secret that will not come to light.

18 "So pay attention to how you listen! Those who understand [these mysteries] will be given [more knowledge]. However, some people don't understand [these mysteries]. Even what they think they understand will be taken away from them."

19 His mother and his brothers came to see him. But they couldn't meet with him because of the crowd.

20 Someone told Jesus, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside. They want to see you."

21 He answered them, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear and do what God's word says."

22 One day Jesus and his disciples got into a boat. He said to them, "Let's cross to the other side of the lake." So they started out.

23 As they were sailing along, Jesus fell asleep. A violent storm came across the lake. The boat was taking on water, and they were in danger.

24 They went to him, woke him up, and said, "Master! Master! We're going to die!" Then he got up and ordered the wind and the waves to stop. The wind stopped, and the sea became calm.

25 He asked them, "Where is your faith?" Frightened and amazed, they asked each other, "Who is this man? He gives orders to the wind and the water, and they obey him!"

26 They landed in the region of the Gerasenes across from Galilee.

27 When Jesus stepped out on the shore, a certain man from the city met him. The man was possessed by demons and had not worn clothes for a long time. He would not stay in a house but lived in the tombs.
