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 that he guesseth, (or that he thinketh), 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. (And he was told, Thy mother and thy brothers stand outside, desiring 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 (or on) one of the days, he went up into a boat, and his disciples. And he said to them, Pass we over the sea (or Let us go over to the other side of the lake). And (so) 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 (or Master), we perish. And he rose up, and blamed the wind (or and rebuked 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, (or Who with fear and wonder, said to each other), 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 (or that is opposite Galilee).

²⁷And when he went out to the land, a man ran to him, that had a devil now (a) long time, and he was not clothed with cloth, neither dwelled in (a) house, but in sepulchres. (And when he got onto the land, a man ran over to him, who for a long time now had a demon, and he was not clothed with a cloak, nor lived in a house, but dwelt among the tombs.)

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

²⁹For he (had) 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 (or he was led by the demon into the desert).

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

³¹And they prayed him (or And they beseeched him), that he should not command them, that they should go into hell or that they should go into the deepness.

³²And there was a flock of many swine or of many hogs pasturing in an hill, and they prayed him, that he should suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. (And there was a herd of many pigs at pasture on a hill, and they beseeched him, that he would allow them to enter into them. And he allowed them.)

³³And so the devils went out from the man, and entered into the swine or into the hogs; and with a rush the flock went headlong into the pool or into the lake of water, and was drenched. (And so the demons went out of the man, and entered into the pigs; and with a rush the herd went headlong into the lake, and were 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 (or and they had great fear).

³⁶And they that saw told to them, how he was made whole of the legion. (And they who saw it all, told them how he was healed from the legion of devils and demons.)

³⁷And all the multitude of the country of Gadarenes prayed him, that he should go (away) from them, for they were held with great dread. And he went up into a boat, and turned again (to the other side). (And all the multitude from the countryside of Gadarenes beseeched him, that he would go away from them, for they were held with great fear. And so he went up into the boat, and returned to the other side.)

³⁸And the man of whom the devils were gone out, or And the man of whom the fiends went out, prayed him, that he should be with him. Soothly Jesus left him (or let him go), and said, (And the man from whom the demons went out, beseeched him, that he could be with him. But Jesus sent him away, 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. (Return to thine house, and to thy people, and tell them what great things God hath done for thee. And so he went through all the city, and preached, what great things Jesus had done for him.)

⁴⁰And it was done, when Jesus was gone (home) again or when Jesus had gone (home) again, the people received him; for all were abiding him (or for all of them were waiting for him).
