21 And another of his disciples saide vnto him, Master, suffer me first to goe, and burie my father. 22 But Iesus said vnto him, Followe me, and let the dead burie their dead. 23 And when he was entred into ye ship, his disciples followed him. 24 And beholde, there arose a great tempest in the sea, so that the ship was couered with waues: but he was a sleepe. 25 Then his disciples came, and awoke him, saying, Master, saue vs: we perish. 26 And he said vnto them, Why are ye fearefull, O ye of litle faith? Then he arose, & rebuked the winds & the sea: & so there was a great calme. 27 And the men marueiled, saying, What man is this, that both the windes and the sea obey him! 28 And when he was come to the other side into ye countrey of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with deuils, which came out of the graues very fierce, so that no man might goe by that way. 29 And beholde, they cryed out, saying, Iesus the sonne of God, what haue we to do with thee? Art thou come hither to tormet vs before ye time? 30 Nowe there was, afarre off from them, a great heard of swine feeding. 31 And the deuils besought him, saying, If thou cast vs out, suffer vs to goe into the heard of swine. 32 And he said vnto them, Go. So they went out and departed into the heard of swine: and beholde, the whole heard of swine ranne headlong into the sea, and died in the water. 33 Then the heardmen fled: and when they were come into the citie, they tolde all things, and what was become of them that were possessed with the deuils. 34 And beholde, all ye citie came out to meete Iesus: and when they sawe him, they besought him to depart out of their coastes.
