ers to pass
over the water.
8:19. And a certain scribe came and said to him: Master, I will follow
thee whithersoever thou shalt go.
8:20. And Jesus saith to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the
air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
8:21. And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, suffer me first to
go and bury my father.
8:22. But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their
dead.
8:23. And when he entered into the boat, his disciples followed him:
8:24. And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was
covered with waves, but he was asleep.
8:25. And they came to him, and awaked him, saying: Lord, save us, we
perish.
8:26. And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little
faith? Then rising up, he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there
came a great calm.
8:27. But the men wondered, saying: What manner of man is this, for the
winds and the sea obey him?
8:28. And when he was come on the other side of the water, into the
country of the Gerasens, there met him two that were possessed with

could pass by that way.
8:29. And behold they cried out, saying: What have we to do with thee,
Jesus Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

8:31. And the devils besought him, saying: If thou cast us out hence,

8:32. And he said to them: Go. But they going out went into the swine,
and behold the whole herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea:

8:34. And behold the whole city went out to meet Jesus, and when they
saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their coast.
