5 [4:26]And he said, So is the kingdom of God as a man casts the seeds into the earth, [4:27]and sleeps and wakes, night and day, and the seed germinates, and grows he knows not how. [4:28]The earth produces spontaneously, first the stalk, then the head, then the full wheat in the head. [4:29]And when the wheat delivers itself, he immediately sends out the sickle, because the harvest has come. [4:30]And he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? or with what parable shall I present it? [4:31]It is like a mustard seed, which when sown in the earth is the least of all seeds on the earth; [4:32]but when sown, it comes up, and becomes the greatest of all plants, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can dwell under its shade. [4:33]And with many such parables spoke he the word to them as they could hear; [4:34]but without a parable spoke he not to them; and, privately, he explained all things to his disciples. 6 [4:35]And on that day, when it was evening, he said to them, Let us cross over to the other side. [4:36]And dismissing the multitude, they took him as he was in the ship; and other ships also were with him. [4:37]And there was a great tempest of wind, and the waves beat over the ship, so that the ship was already filled. [4:38]And he was in the stern, on the pillow, asleep. And they awoke him and said to him, Teacher, do you not care that we perish? [4:39]And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the lake, Hush! Be still! And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. [4:40]And he said to them, Why are you so fearful? How have you no faith? [4:41]And they were greatly afraid, and said one to another, What man is this, that even the wind and the lake obey him? CHAPTER V. CHRIST CURING A DEMONIAC AND THE WOMAN WITH A HEMORRHAGE, AND RAISING A DEAD CHILD. 1 [5:1]AND they came across the lake to the country of the Gerasenes. [5:2]And as he went out of the ship, a man with an impure spirit immediately met him from the tombs, [5:3]who lived in the tombs, and none could bind him with a chain; [5:4]for he was often bound with fetters and chains, and his chains were broken by him, and his fetters crushed, and no one could subdue him. [5:5]And he was always night and day in the tombs, and in the mountains, crying, and cutting himself with stones. [5:6]And seeing Jesus at a distance, he ran and worshipped him, [5:7]and crying with a loud voice, said, What have you to do with me, Jesus, son of the most high God? I adjure you, by God, not to torment me. [5:8] For he said to him, Impure spirit, come out of the man. [5:9]And he asked him, What is your name? And he said to him, My name is Legion, for we are many.
