Matthew 8:18-34

18Now when Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side.

19And a scribe came up and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

20And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."

21Another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."

22And Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

23And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.

24And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.

25And they went and woke him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing."

26And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

27And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?"

28And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way.

29And behold, they cried out, "What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

30Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at some distance from them.

31And the demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs."

32And he said to them, "Go." So they came out and went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters.

33The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, especially what had happened to the demon-possessed men.

34And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.
