d, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, so that the
ship was covered by the waves; but he was sleeping. (25)And the
disciples came and awoke him, saying: Lord, save us; we perish.
(26)And he says to them: Why are ye fearful, ye of little faith? Then
rising, he rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
(27)And the men marveled, saying: What manner of man is this, that
even the winds and the sea obey him!

(28)And when he had come to the other side, into the country of the
Gadarenes[8:28], there met him two possessed with demons, coming out

scribes said within themselves: This man blasphemes. (4)And Jesus
knowing their thoughts said: Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
(5)For which is easier, to say: Thy sins are forgiven; or to say:
Arise, and walk? (6)But that ye may know that the Son of man has power
on earth to forgive sins, (then says he to the palsied man) Arise,
take up thy bed, and go to thy house. (7)And rising up he departed to
his house. (8)And seeing it the multitudes feared, and glorified God,
who gave such power to men.

(9)And Jesus, passing on from thence, saw a man named Matthew, sitting
