008:025 He said to them, "Where is your faith?" Being afraid they marveled,
saying one to another, "Who is this, then, that he commands
even the winds and the water, and they obey him?"
008:026 They arrived at the country of the Gadarenes,
which is opposite Galilee.
008:027 When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city
who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes,
and didn't live in a house, but in the tombs.
008:028 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him,
and with a loud voice said, "What do I have to do
with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you,
don't torment me!"
008:029 For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man.
For the unclean spirit had often seized the man.
He was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters.
Breaking the bands apart, he was driven by the demon
into the desert.
008:030 Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He said, "Legion,"
for many demons had entered into him.
008:031 They begged him that he would not command them to go
into the abyss.
008:032 Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain,
and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those.
He allowed them.
008:033 The demons came out from the man, and entered into the pigs,
and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake,
and were drowned.
008:034 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled,
and told it in the city and in the country.
008:035 People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus,
and found the man from whom the demons had gone out,
sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind;
and they were afraid.
008:036 Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed
by demons was healed.
008:037 All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked
him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid.
He entered into the boat, and returned.
008:038 But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him
that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
008:039 "Return to your house, and declare what great things God has
done for you." He went his way, proclaiming throughout
the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
008:040 It happened, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed him,
for they were all waiting for him.
008:041 Behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler
of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet, and begged
him to come into his house,
008:042 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she
was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
