go over to the other
side of the lake. And they launched forth. (23)And as they were
sailing, he fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the
lake; and they began to be filled, and were in jeopardy. (24)And
coming to him, they awoke him, saying: Master, Master, we perish. And
he, rising, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they
ceased, and there was a calm. (25)And he said to them: Where is your
faith? And they, fearing, wondered; saying one to another: Who then is
this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey
him!

(26)And they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is over
against Galilee. (27)And when he had gone forth upon the land, there
met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons a long time, and
wore no clothing, and abode not in a house, but in the tombs. (28)And

them how he that was possessed by demons was healed. (37)And the whole
multitude of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes besought him to

And he, entering into the ship, returned. (38)And the man, out of whom
the demons had gone, besought him that he might be with him. But he
