²²And it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a little ship with his disciples. And he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

²³And when they were sailing, he slept. And there came down a storm of wind upon the lake: and they were filled and were in danger.

²⁴And they came and awaked him, saying: Master, we perish. But he arising, rebuked the wind and the rage of the water. And it ceased: and there was a calm.

²⁵And he said to them: Where is your faith? Who being afraid, wondered, saying one to another: Who is this (think you), that he commandeth both the winds and the sea: and they obey him?

²⁶And they sailed to the country of the Gerasens, which is over against Galilee.

²⁷And when he was come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time. And he wore no clothes: neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres.

²⁸And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.

²⁹For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him: and he was bound with chains and kept in fetters: and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.

³⁰And Jesus asked him, saying: What is thy name? But he said: Legion. Because many devils were entered into him.

³¹And they besought him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.

³²And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

³³The devils therefore went out of the man and entered into the swine. And the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake and were stifled.

³⁴Which when they that fed them saw done, they fled away and told it in the city and in the villages.

³⁵And they went out to see what was done. And they came to Jesus and found the man out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at his feet, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

³⁶And they also that had seen told them how he had been healed from the legion.

³⁷And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasens besought him to depart from them: for they were taken with great fear. And he, going up into the ship, returned back again.
