19 And one scribe, coming near, said to him, Teacher, I will follow thee wherever thou goest. 20 And Jesus says to him, The foxes have dens, and the fowls of heaven occupy nests; but the Son of man has not where he might recline the head. 21 And another of his disciples said to him, Lord, permit me first to go and inter my father. 22 But Jesus said to him, Follow me; and let the dead inter the dead. 23 And he having gone into a ship, his disciples followed him. 24 And, behold, a great shaking was in the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves: and be slept. 25 And his disciples, having come near, awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we are lost. 26 And he says to them, Why are ye timorous, ye of little faith? Then having risen, he censured the winds and sea; and there was a great calm. 27 And the men admired, saying, of what race is this for the winds and the sea listen to him. 28 And he having come beyond the country of the Gergesenes, two possessed with evil spirits, coming out of the tombs, met him, very rough, so that not any could pass by that way. 29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What to us and thee, Jesus, Son of God? hast thou come here to torture us before the time. 30 And far off from them was a herd of many swine grazing. 31 And the evil spirits besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine. 32 And he said to them, Retire. And having gone, they went away into the herd of swine: and, behold, all the herd of swine rushed down the precipice into the sea, and died in the water. 33 And they feeding fled; and having come into the city, they announced all things, and those of the possessed with evil spirits. 34 And, behold, all the city came forth to the meeting to Jesus: and seeing him, they besought that he would go away from their boundaries.
