Then Yeshua's mother and brothers came to see him, but they couldn't get near him because of the crowd.
20
It was reported to him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside and want to see you."
21
But he gave them this answer: "My mother and brothers are those who hear God's message and act on it!"
22
One day Yeshua got into a boat with his talmidim and said to them, "Let's cross to the other side of the lake."
23
So they set out; and as they were sailing, he fell asleep. A windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat began to fill up with water, putting them in great danger.
24
They went and woke him, saying, "Rabbi! Rabbi! We're about to die!" He woke up, rebuked the wind and the rough water; and they calmed down, so that it was still.
25
Then he said to the talmidim, "Where is your trust?" Awestruck, they marveled, asking one another, "Who can this be, that he commands even the wind and the water, and they obey him?"
26
They sailed on and landed in the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite the Galil.
27
As Yeshua stepped ashore, a man from the town who had demons came to meet him. For a long time he had not worn clothes; and he lived, not in a house, but in the burial caves.
28
Catching sight of Yeshua, he screamed, fell down in front of him and yelled, "Yeshua! Son of God Ha`Elyon! What do you want with me? I beg you, don't torture me!"
29
For Yeshua had ordered the unclean spirit to come out of the man. It had often taken hold of him -- he had been kept under guard, chained hand and foot, but had broken the bonds and been driven by the demon into the desert.
