Luke - ch 8 v 21 - 40
- Who answering, said to them: My mother and my brethren are they who hear the word of God, and do it.
- And it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a little ship with his disciples, and he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
- And when they were sailing, he slept; and there came down a storm of wind upon the lake, and they were filled, and were in danger.
- And they came and awaked him, saying: Master, we perish. But he arising, rebuked the wind and the rage of the water; and it ceased, and there was a calm.
- And he said to them: Where is your faith? Who being afraid, wondered, saying one to another: Who is this, (think you), that he commandeth both the winds and the sea, and they obey him?
- And they sailed to the country of the Gerasens, which is over against Galilee.
- And when he was come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time, and he wore no clothes, neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres.
- And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him; and crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.
- For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him, and he was bound with chains, and kept in fetters; and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.
- And Jesus asked him, saying: What is thy name? But he said: Legion; because many devils were entered into him.
- And they besought him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.
- And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain; and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
- The devils therefore went out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were stifled.
- Which when they that fed them saw done, they fled away, and told it in the city and in the villages.
- And they went out to see what was done; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at his feet, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
- And they also that had seen, told them how he had been healed from the legion.
- And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasens besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear. And he, going up into the ship, returned back again.
- Now the man, out of whom the devils were departed, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying:
- Return to thy house, and tell how great things God hath done to thee. And he went through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done to him.
- And it came to pass, that when Jesus was returned, the multitude received him: for they were all waiting for him.
