Luke 8:18-40

¹⁸Therefore see ye, how ye hear; for it shall be given to him that hath, and whoever hath not, also that that he weeneth or he guesseth that he have, shall be taken away from him.

¹⁹And his mother and brethren came to him; and they might not come to him for the people.

²⁰And it was told to him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand withoutforth, willing to see thee.

²¹And he answered, and said to them, My mother and my brethren be these, that hear the word of God, and do it.

²²And it was done in one of the days, he went up into a boat, and his disciples. And he said to them, Pass we over the sea. And they went up.

²³And while they rowed, he slept. And a tempest of wind came down into the water, and they were driven hither and thither with waves, and were in peril.

²⁴And they came nigh, and raised him, and said, Commander, we perish. And he rose up, and blamed the wind, and the tempest of the water; and it ceased, and peaceability was made.

²⁵And he said to them, Where is your faith? Which dreading wondered, and said together, Who, guessest thou, is this? for he commandeth to the winds and to the sea, and they obey to him.

²⁶And they rowed to the country of Gadarenes, that is against Galilee.

²⁷And when he went out to the land, a man ran to him, that had a devil now long time, and he was not clothed with cloth, neither dwelled in house, but in sepulchres.

²⁸This, when he saw Jesus, fell down before him, and he crying with a great voice said, What to me and to thee, Jesus, the Son of the Highest God? I beseech thee, that thou torment me not.

²⁹For he commanded the unclean spirit, that he should go out from the man. For he took him oft times, and he was bound with chains, and kept in stocks, and when the bonds were broken, he was led of the devil into desert.

³⁰And Jesus asked him, and said, What name is to thee? And he said, A legion; for many devils were or had entered into him.

³¹And they prayed him, that he should not command them, that they should go into hell or into the deep-ness.

³²And there was a flock of many swine or many hogs pasturing in an hill, and they prayed him, that he should suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

³³And so the devils went out from the man, and entered into the swine or the hogs; and with a rush the flock went headlong into the pool or into the lake of water, and was drenched or drowned.

³⁴And when the herders saw this thing done, they fled, and told into the city, and into the towns.

³⁵And they went out to see that thing that was done. And they came to Jesus, and they found the man sitting clothed, from whom the devils went out, and in whole mind at his feet; and they dreaded.

³⁶And they that saw told to them, how he was made whole of the legion.

³⁷And all the multitude of the country of Gadarenes prayed him, that he should go from them, for they were held with great dread. And he went up into a boat, and turned again.

³⁸And the man of whom the devils were gone out or of whom the fiends went out, prayed him, that he should be with him. Soothly Jesus let him go, and said,

³⁹Go again into thine house, and tell how great things God hath done to thee. And he went through all the city, and preached, how great things Jesus had done to him.

⁴⁰And it was done, when Jesus was gone again or had gone again, the people received him; for all were abiding him.
