21
Then another of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."
22
But Jesus said to him, "Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
23
Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him.
24
And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep.
25
Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!"
26
But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27
So the men marveled, saying, "Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"
28
When He had come to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way.
29
And suddenly they cried out, saying, "What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?"
30
Now a good way off from them there was a herd of many swine feeding.
31
So the demons begged Him, saying, "If You cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine."
