a word He expelled the demons; and He cured all the sick,
008:017 in order that this prediction of the Prophet Isaiah might
be fulfilled, "He took on Him our weaknesses, and bore
the burden of our diseases."
008:018 Seeing great crowds about Him Jesus had given directions
to cross to the other side of the Lake,
008:019 when a Scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow
you wherever you go."
008:020 "Foxes have holes," replied Jesus, "and birds have nests;
but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
008:021 Another of the disciples said to Him, "Sir, allow me first to go
and bury my father."
008:022 "Follow me," said Jesus, "and leave the dead to bury
their own dead."
008:023 Then He went on board a fishing-boat, and His disciples followed Him.
008:024 But suddenly there arose a great storm on the Lake, so that
the waves threatened to engulf the boat; but He was asleep.
008:025 So they came and woke Him, crying, "Master, save us,
we are drowning!"
008:026 "Why are you so easily frightened," He replied, "you men of
little faith?" Then He rose and reproved the winds and the waves,
and there was a perfect calm;
008:027 and the men, filled with amazement, exclaimed, "What kind
of man is this? for the very winds and waves obey him!"
008:028 On His arrival at the other side, in the country of the Gadarenes,
there met Him two men possessed by demons, coming from among
the tombs: they were so dangerously fierce that no one was
able to pass that way.
008:029 They cried aloud, "What hast Thou to do with us, Thou Son
of God? Hast Thou come here to torment us before the time?"
