New Testament

Luke 8:20-28 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

20. And it was reported to him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you."

21. And in response, he said to them, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it."

22. Now it happened, on a certain day, that he climbed into a little boat with his disciples. And he said to them, "Let us make a crossing over the lake." And they embarked.

23. And as they were sailing, he slept. And a windstorm descended over the lake. And they were taking on water and were in danger.

24. Then, drawing near, they awakened him, saying, "Teacher, we are perishing." But as he rose up, he rebuked the wind and the raging water, and they ceased. And a tranquility occurred.

25. Then he said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they, being afraid, were amazed, saying to one another, "Who do you think this is, so that he commands both wind and sea, and they obey him?"

26. And they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

27. And when he had gone out to the land, a certain man met him, who had now had a demon for a long time. And he did not wear clothes, nor did he stay in a house, but among the sepulchers.

28. And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out in a loud voice, he said: "What is there between me and you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me."
