22
One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side of the lake." So they set out,
23
and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in danger.
24
And they went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25
He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, "Who then is this, that he commands even wind and water, and they obey him?"
26
Then they arrived at the country of the Ger'asenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27
And as he stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons; for a long time he had worn no clothes, and he lived not in a house but among the tombs.
28
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you, do not torment me."
29
For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him; he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters, but he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the desert.)
30
Jesus then asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion"; for many demons had entered him.
31
And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss.
32
Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside; and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them leave.
