God's Message and obey it."
008:022 One day He went on board a boat--both He and his disciples; and He
said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the Lake."
So they set sail.
002:023 During the passage He fell asleep, and there came down a squall

and, impelled by the demon, to escape into the Desert.
008:030 "What is your name?" Jesus asked him. "Legion," he replied--
because a great number of demons had entered into him;
