Matthew 8:23–34

^23tAnd when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. ²⁴And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. ²⁵And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. ²⁶And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, ^uO ye of little faith? Then ^vhe arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. ²⁷But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

²⁸And when he was come to the other side into the country of the ^wGergesenes, there met him ^xtwo ^ypossessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. ²⁹And behold, they cried out, saying, ^zWhat have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou ^zzSon of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? ³⁰And there was a good way off from them a herd of many swine feeding. ³¹So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. ³²And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. ³³And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the ^ypossessed of the devils. ³⁴And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, ^athey besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.
