24. After the boat left the shore, a very bad storm began on the lake. The waves covered the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
25. The followers went to him and woke him. They said, “Lord, save us! We will drown!”
26. Jesus answered, “Why are you afraid? You don’t have enough faith.” Then he stood up and gave a command to the wind and the water. The wind stopped, and the lake became very calm.
27. The men were amazed. They said, “What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the water obey him!”
28. Jesus arrived at the other side of the lake in the country of the Gadarene people. There, two men who had demons inside them came to him. They lived in the burial caves and were so dangerous that no one could use the road by those caves.
29. They came to Jesus and shouted, “What do you want with us, Son of God? Did you come here to punish us before the right time?”
