Luke 8:22-46

²²Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake: and they launched forth.

²³But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.

²⁴And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

²⁵And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And being afraid they marvelled, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

²⁶And they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee.

²⁷And when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in any house, but in the tombs.

²⁸And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee, torment me not.

²⁹For he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the demon into the deserts.

³⁰And Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; for many demons were entered into him.

³¹And they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss.

³²Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave.

³³And the demons came out from the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.

³⁴And when they that fed them saw what had come to pass, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

³⁵And they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid.

³⁶And they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with demons was made whole.

³⁷And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them; for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned.

³⁸But the man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,

³⁹Return to thy house, and declare how great things God hath done for thee. And he went his way, publishing throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him.

⁴⁰And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.

⁴¹And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him to come into his house;

⁴²for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the multitudes thronged him.

⁴³And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any,

⁴⁴came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately the issue of her blood stanched.

⁴⁵And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush thee.

⁴⁶But Jesus said, Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me.
