24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 But He said to them, a“Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, b“Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
A Demon-Possessed Man Healed
26 aThen they sailed to the country of the1 Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons1 for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus, he acried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, b“What have I to do with cYou, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!”
29 For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.
