Matthew 8:21-34 ▼

21 And another of His disciples said to Him, Lord, permit me first to go away and bury my father.

22 And Jesus says to him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

23 And His disciples followed Him, having come into the ship.

24 And behold, there was a great storm on the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves: and He was asleep.

25 And the disciples having come, awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us; we are perishing.

26 And He says to them, Why are you afraid, O ye of little faith? Then having arisen, He rebuked the wind and the sea; and there was a great calm.

27 And the men were astonished, saying, What sort of a man is this, because winds and the sea obey him?

28 Two demoniacs met Him, having come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, coming out from the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one was able to pass through that way.

29 And behold, they cried out, saying, What is there to us and thee, O Son of God? have you come hither to torment us before the time?

30 And a herd of many swine was feeding a great way from them.

31 And the demons continued to intreat him, saying, If you cast us out, permit us to depart into the herd of swine.

32 And He said to them, Go. And they having gone out, went away into the herd of swine; and the whole herd rushed down the precipice into the sea, and perished in the waters.

33 And the herders fled, and having gone away into the city, proclaimed all things, and those appertaining to the demonized.

34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and seeing Him, intreated Him, that He should depart from their coasts.
