Luke 8:16-28

¹⁶'And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put it; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put it, that those coming in may see the light,

¹⁷for nothing is secret, that shall not become manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest.

¹⁸'See, therefore, how ye hear, for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.'

¹⁹And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude,

²⁰and it was told him, saying, 'Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;'

²¹and he answering said unto them, 'My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.'

²²And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, 'We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set forth,

²³and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.

²⁴And having come near, they awoke him, saying, 'Master, master, we perish;' and he, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,

²⁵and he said to them, 'Where is your faith?' and they being afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, 'Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?'

²⁶And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that is over-against Galilee,

²⁷and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs,

²⁸and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, 'What — to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!'
