Matthew 8:14-34 ▼

14 And Jesus having come into the house of Peter, saw his mother-in-law laid, and fevered,

15 and He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose, and was ministering to them.

16 And evening having come, they brought to Him many demoniacs, and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill,

17 that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He took our sicknesses Himself, and bore the diseases.”

18 And Jesus having seen great multitudes around Him, commanded to depart to the other side;

19 and a certain scribe having come, said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You may go”;

20 and Jesus says to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky places of rest, but the Son of Man has nowhere He may lay the head.”

21 And another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, permit me first to depart and to bury my father”;

22 and Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and permit the dead to bury their own dead.”

23 And when He entered into the boat His disciples followed Him,

24 and behold, a great storm arose in the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves, but He was sleeping,

25 and His disciples having come to Him, awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

26 And He says to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then having risen, He rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm;

27 and the men wondered, saying, “What kind—is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”

28 And He having come to the other side, to the region of the Gergesenes, there met Him two demoniacs, coming forth out of the tombs, very fierce, so that no one was able to pass over by that way,

29 and behold, they cried out, saying, “What [regards] us and You, [[Jesus,]] Son of God? Did You come here to afflict us before the time?”

30 And there was a herd of many pigs feeding far off from them,

31 and the demons were calling on Him, saying, “If You cast us forth, permit us to go away into the herd of the pigs”;

32 and He says to them, “Go.” And having come forth, they went into the herd of the pigs, and behold, the whole herd of the pigs rushed down the steep, into the sea, and died in the waters,

33 and those feeding fled, and having gone into the city, they declared all, and the matter of the demoniacs.

34 And behold, all the city came forth to meet Jesus, and having seen Him, they called on [Him] that He might depart from their borders.
