Matthew 8:21-34 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

21. And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.

22. But Jesus said unto him,

23. And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

24. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

25. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

26. And he said unto them,

27. But the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

28. And when he came to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

29. And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God? have you come here to torment us before the time?

30. And there was a good way off from them a herd of many swine feeding.

31. So the demons besought him, saying, If you cast us out, allow us to go away into the herd of swine.

32. And he said unto them,

33. And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told everything, and what was befallen to him possessed of the demons.

34. And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their region.
