And they came to him and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25
And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they, being afraid, wondered, saying one to another, Who is this! for he even commands the winds and the water, and they obey him.
26
And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, who had demons for a long time and wore no clothes, neither abode in
any house, but in the tombs.
28
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus,
thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
29
(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him, and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters, and he broke the bands and was driven of the demon into the wilderness.)
30
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion, because many demons were entered into him.
31
And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the abyss.
32
And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, and they besought him that he would allow them to enter into them. And he allowed them.
33
Then the demons went out of the man and entered into the swine, and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake and were choked.
34
When those that fed
them saw what was done, they fled and went and told
it in the city and in the country.
