Luke 8:14-36

¹⁴And that which fell among thornes, are they which haue heard, and after their departure are choked with cares and with riches, and voluptuous liuing, and bring forth no fruite.

¹⁵But that which fell in good ground, are they which with an honest and good heart heare the worde, and keepe it, and bring forth fruite with patience.

¹⁶No man when he hath lighted a candle, couereth it vnder a vessell, neither putteth it vnder the bed, but setteth it on a candlesticke, that they that enter in, may see the light.

¹⁷For nothing is secret, that shall not be euident: neither any thing hid, that shall not be knowen, and come to light.

¹⁸Take heede therefore how ye heare: for whosoeuer hath, to him shall be giuen: and whosoeuer hath not, from him shalbe taken euen that which it seemeth that he hath.

¹⁹Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come neere to him for the preasse.

²⁰And it was tolde him by certaine which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, and would see thee.

²¹But he answered, and sayd vnto them, My mother and my brethren are these which heare the worde of God, and doe it.

²²And it came to passe on a certaine day, that he went into a ship with his disciples, and he sayd vnto them, Let vs goe ouer vnto the other side of the lake. And they lanched forth.

²³And as they sayled, he fell a sleepe, and there came downe a storme of winde on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in ieopardie.

²⁴Then they went to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we perish. And he arose, and rebuked the winde, and the waues of water: and they ceased, and it was calme.

²⁵Then he sayde vnto them, Where is your fayth? and they feared, and wondered among them selues, saying, Who is this that commandeth both the windes and water, and they obey him!

²⁶So they sailed vnto the region of the Gadarenes, which is ouer against Galile.

²⁷And as he went out to land, there met him a certaine man out of the citie, which had deuils long time, and he ware no garment, neither abode in house, but in the graues.

²⁸And when he sawe Iesus, he cryed out and fell downe before him, and with a loude voyce sayd, What haue I to doe with thee, Iesus the Sonne of God the most High? I beseech thee torment me not.

²⁹For he commanded ye foule spirit to come out of the man: (for oft times he had caught him: therefore he was bound with chaines, and kept in fetters: but he brake the bands, and was caried of the deuill into wildernesses.)

³⁰Then Iesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he sayd, Legion, because many deuils were entred into him.

³¹And they besought him, that he would not commaund them to goe out into the deepe.

³²And there was there by, an hearde of many swine, feeding on an hill: and the deuils besought him, that he would suffer them to enter into them. So he suffered them.

³³Then went the deuils out of the man, and entred into the swine: and the hearde was caried with violence from a steepe downe place into the lake, and was choked.

³⁴When the heardmen sawe what was done, they fled: and when they were departed, they tolde it in the citie and in the countrey.

³⁵Then they came out to see what was done, and came to Iesus, and found the man, out of whom the deuils were departed, sitting at the feete of Iesus, clothed, and in his right minde: and they were afrayd.

³⁶They also which saw it, tolde them by what meanes he that was possessed with the deuill, was healed.
