23. When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24. Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.
25. They came to him, and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”
26. He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27. The men marvelled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
28. When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.
29. Behold, they cried out, saying, “What do we have to do with you, Yeshua, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”
30. Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
31. The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”
32. He said to them, “Go!”They came out, and went into the herd of pigs: and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water.
