And Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead
bury their own dead.

(23)And going on board a vessel, his disciples followed him. (24)And,
behold, there was a great tempest in the sea, so that the vessel was
hid by the waves; but he was asleep. (25)And his disciples coming,
awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we are perishing! (26)And he said
unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then arising, he
issued his mandate to the winds, and to the sea; and there was a great
calm. (27)And the men marvelled, saying, What a wondrous man is this,
that even the winds and the sea obey him! (28)And when he came to the
other side, into the region of the Girgasenes, there met him two
demoniacs, coming from the sepulchres; exceeding fierce, so that no
person was able to pass by that road. (29)And lo! they cried out,

all the city came out to meet him: and when they saw him, they besought
him to depart from their territories.

city. (2)And lo! they brought him a paralytic stretched on a bed: and
Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Be of good cheer, son;
thy sins are forgiven thee. (3)And lo! some of the scribes said within
themselves, This man blasphemeth. (4)And Jesus, seeing their thoughts,
said, wherefore do ye imagine evil things in your hearts? (5)For which
is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise,
and walk? (6)But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority
upon earth to forgive sins, (then he saith to the paralytic,) Arise,
take up thy bed, and go into thy house. (7)And he arose, and went to
his house. (8)But when the multitude saw it, they were astonished, and
glorified God, who had given such power unto men.
