Wind and Wave Obey Jesus

23 Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him.
24 aAnd suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep.  
25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then aHe arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.  
27 So the men marveled, saying,1 “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”  

Two Demon-Possessed Men Healed

28 aWhen He had come to the other side, to the country of the1 Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way.
