iacs, and he cast out the
spirits with a word, and cured all that were sick, [8:17]that the word
might be fulfilled spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying; He took our
infirmities and bore our diseases.
4 [8:18]And Jesus seeing great multitudes around him commanded them to
go away to the other side. [8:19]And a certain scribe came and said to
him, Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go. [8:20]And Jesus said
to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have places of
shelter, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.
[8:21]Another of the disciples said to him, Lord, permit me first to go
away and bury my father. [8:22]But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and
let the dead bury their dead. [8:23]And he entered into a ship, and his
disciples followed him. [8:24]And behold there was a great tempest on
the lake, so that the ship was covered with the waves; but he was
asleep. [8:25] And they came and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us; we
perish. [8:26]And he said to them, Why are you afraid, men of little
faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the lake, and there was
a great calm. [8:27]And the men wondered, saying, What kind of a man is
this, that the winds and the lake obey him?
5 [8:28]And when he had come to the other side, into the country of the
Gadarenes, two demoniacs met him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly
fierce, so that no man could pass that way. [8:29]And behold they
cried, saying, What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come
hither before the time to torment us? [8:30]And there was far off from
them a herd of many swine feeding. [8:31]And, the demons besought him,
saying, If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine. [8:32]And
he said to them, Go. And going out, they went away into the herd of
swine, and, behold, the whole herd rushed down a precipice into the
lake, and died in the waters; [8:33]and those who fed them fled, and
going away into the city reported all things, and the events relating
to the demoniacs. [8:34]And behold all the city came out to meet Jesus;
and when they saw him they besought him to depart from their bounds.
6 [9:1]And entering a ship, he crossed over, and came to his own city;
[9:2] and behold they brought him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And
Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Son, be of good
courage; your sins are forgiven. [9:3]And behold some of the scribes
said within themselves, This man blasphemes. [9:4]And Jesus
