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 put out,
23
and while they were sailing he fell asleep. A windstorm swept down on the lake, and the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.

Jesus then asked him, "What is your name?" He said, "Legion"; for many demons had entered him.
31
They begged him not to order them to go back into the abyss.
