26 Jesus said to them, Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then he got up and rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27 But the men were surprised, saying, Who is this man, that even the winds and the sea obey him? 28 And when Jesus came to the port on the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, he was met by two lunatics, who were just coming out of the cemetery. They were exceedingly vicious so that noman would dare to pass by that road. 29 And they cried aloud saying, What business have we together, Jesus, “son of God”? Have you come here to torment us before the time? 30 Now there was near by them a large herd of swine feeding. 31 And the lunatics kept asking him, saying, If you are going to heal us, permit us to attack # the herd of swine. 32 Jesus said to them, Go. And immediately they left and attacked the swine, and the whole herd went straight over the cliff, and fell into the sea, and were drowned in the water. 33 And they who fed them ran away and went to the city, and reported everything that happened, and about the lunatics. 34 So all the city went out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they urged him to depart from their borders.
