Luke 8 — Context

23

and as they sailed he fell asleep. Now a violent windstorm came down on the lake, and the boat started filling up with water, and they were in danger.

24

They came and woke him, saying,“Master, Master, we are about to die!” So he got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; they died down, and it was calm.

25

Then he said to them,“Where is your faith?” But they were afraid and amazed, saying to one another,“Who then is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him!”

26

Healing of a Demoniac So they sailed over to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

27

As Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man from the town met him who was possessed by demons. For a long time this man had worn no clothes and had not lived in a house, but among the tombs.

28

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and shouted with a loud voice,“Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I beg you, do not torment me!”

29

For Jesus had started commanding the evil spirit to come out of the man.(For it had seized him many times, so he would be bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard. But he would break the restraints and be driven by the demon into deserted places.)
