Matthew 8:25-34 ▼

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.
