Matthew 8:23-34

231When He gotG1684 into the boatG4143, His disciplesG3101 followedG190 Him. 24And beholdG2400, there aroseG1096 2a greatG3173 stormG4578 on the seaG2281, soG5620 that the boatG4143 was beingG2572 coveredG2572 with the wavesG2949; but Jesus HimselfG846 was asleepG2518. 25And they cameG4334 to Him and wokeG1453 Him, sayingG3004, “3SaveG4982 us, LordG2962; we are perishingG622!” 26He saidG3004 to them, “WhyG5101 are you 4afraidG1169, 5you menG3640 of littleG3640 faithG3640?” ThenG5119 He gotG1453 up and rebukedG2008 the windsG417 and the seaG2281, and 6it becameG1096 perfectlyG3173 calmG1055. 27The menG444 were amazedG2296, and saidG3004, “WhatG4217 kindG4217 of a manG444 is thisG3778, that evenG2532 the windsG417 and the seaG2281 obeyG5219 Him?”

287When He cameG2064 to the otherG4008 sideG4008 into the countryG5561 of the GadarenesG1046, twoG1417 men who were 8demon-possessedG1139 metG5221 Him as they were comingG1831 out of the tombsG3419. They were so extremelyG3029 violentG5467 that noG3361 oneG5100 couldG2480 passG3928 by that wayG3598. 29And they criedG2896 out, sayingG3004, “910WhatG5101 business do we have with each other, SonG5207 of GodG2316? Have You comeG2064 hereG5602 to tormentG928 us beforeG4253 11the timeG2540?” 30NowG1161 there was a herdG34 of manyG4183 swineG5519 feedingG1006 at a distanceG3112 from them. 31The demonsG1142 began to entreatG3870 Him, sayingG3004, “IfG1487 You are going to castG1544 us out, sendG649 us into the herdG34 of swineG5519.” 32And He saidG3004 to them, “GoG5217!” And they cameG1831 out and wentG565 into the swineG5519, and the wholeG3956 herdG34 rushedG3729 downG2596 the steepG2911 bankG2911 into the seaG2281 and perishedG599 in the watersG5204. 33The herdsmenG1006 ranG5343 awayG5343, and wentG565 to the cityG4172 and reportedG518 everythingG3956, 12includingG2532 whatG3588 hadG3588 happenedG3588 to the 13demoniacsG1139. 34And beholdG2400, the wholeG3956 cityG4172 cameG1831 out to meetG5222 JesusG2424; and when they sawG3708 Him, 14they imploredG3870 Him to leaveG3327 their regionG3725.
