that we are drowning?"
004:039 So He roused Himself and rebuked the wind, and said to
the waves, "Silence! Be still!" The wind sank, and a perfect
calm set in.
004:040 "Why are you so timid?" He asked; "have you still no faith?"
004:041 Then they were filled with terror, and began to say to one another,
"Who is this, then? For even wind and sea obey Him."
005:001 So they arrived at the opposite shore of the Lake, in the country
of the Gerasenes.
005:002 At once, on His landing, there came from the tombs to meet
Him a man possessed by a foul spirit.
005:003 This man lived among the tombs, nor could any one now secure
him even with a chain;
005:004 for many a time he had been left securely bound in fetters
and chains, but afterwards the chains lay torn link from link,
and the fetters in fragments, and there was no one strong
enough to master him.
005:005 And constantly, day and night, he remained among the tombs or on
the hills, shrieking, and mangling himself with sharp stones.
005:006 And when he saw Jesus in the distance, he ran and threw himself
at His feet,
005:007 crying out in a loud voice, "What hast Thou to do with me,
Jesus, Son of God Most High? In God's name I implore Thee
not to torment me."
005:008 For He had said to him, "Foul spirit, come out of the man."
005:009 Jesus also questioned him. "What is your name?"
He said. "Legion," he replied, "for there are a host of us."
005:010 And he earnestly entreated Him not to send them away out
of the country.
005:011 Feeding there, on the mountain slope, was a great herd of swine.
