Matthew 8:18-34

18Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart to the other side. 19And a certain scribe came, and said to him, Master, I will follow thee wherever thou goest. 20And Jesus saith to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 21And another of his disciples said to him, Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father. 22But Jesus said to him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

23And when he had entered into a boat, his disciples followed him. 24And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 26And he saith to them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

28And when he had come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. 29And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come here to torment us before the time? 30And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. 31So the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine. 32And he said to them, Go. And when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. 33And they that kept them fled, and went away into the city, and told every thing, and what had befallen to the ones possessed with demons. 34And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their region.
