Matthew 8:19-34 ▼

19 And a certayne Scribe came, & sayde vnto hym: Maister, I wyll folowe thee, whyther soeuer thou goest.

20 And Iesus sayth vnto hym. The foxes haue holes, and the birdes of the ayre haue nestes: but the sonne of man, hath not where to rest his head.

21 And another, of the number of his disciples, sayde vnto hym: Lorde, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

22 But Iesus sayde vnto hym: Folowe me, and let the dead bury theyr dead.

23 And when he entred into a shippe, his disciples folowed hym:

24 And beholde, there arose a great tempest in the sea, in so much that the shippe was couered with waues: but he was a slepe.

25 And his disciples came to hym, and awoke hym, saying: Lorde saue vs, we peryshe.

26 And he sayth vnto them: Why are ye fearefull, O ye of litle fayth? Then he arose, and rebuked the windes, and the sea: and there folowed a great calme.

27 But the men marueyled, saying: What maner of man is this, that both wyndes and sea obey hym?

28 And when he was come to the other syde, into the countrey of the Gergesenes, there met hym two, possessed with deuyls, which came out of the graues, and were very fierce, so that no man myght go by that way.

29 And beholde, they cryed out, saying: O Iesu, thou sonne of God, what haue we to do with thee? Art thou come hyther, to torment vs before the tyme?

30 And there was, a good way of from them, a hearde of many swyne, feedyng.

31 So, the deuyls besought hym, saying: Yf thou cast vs out, suffer vs to go away into the hearde of swyne.

32 And he sayde vnto them, go. Then went they out, and departed into the hearde of swyne: And beholde, ye whole hearde of swyne russhed headlong into the sea, and peryshed in the waters.

33 Then they that kept them, fledde, and went theyr wayes into the citie, and tolde euery thyng, and what was done of the possessed with the deuyls.

34 And beholde, the whole citie came out to meete Iesus: and when they sawe hym, they besought hym, that he woulde depart out of theyr coastes.
