Luke 8:26

Jesus frees a demon-possessed man

26 Jesus and his disciples sailed to the Gerasenes' land, which is across the lake from Galilee.

Luke 8:26 In-Context

24 So they went and woke Jesus, shouting, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!" But he got up and gave orders to the wind and the violent waves. The storm died down and it was calm.
25 He said to his disciples, "Where is your faith?" Filled with awe and wonder, they said to each other, "Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him!"
26 Jesus and his disciples sailed to the Gerasenes' land, which is across the lake from Galilee.
27 As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, a certain man met him. The man was from the city and was possessed by demons. For a long time, he had lived among the tombs, naked and homeless.
28 When he saw Jesus, he shrieked and fell down before him. Then he shouted, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torture me!"
