16. And when evening arrived, they brought to him many who had demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word. And he healed all those having maladies,
17. in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, saying, "He took our infirmities, and he carried away our diseases."
18. Then Jesus, seeing the great crowds encircling him, gave orders to go across the sea.
19. And one scribe, approaching, said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you will go."
20. And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to rest his head."
21. Then another of his disciples said to him, "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father."
22. But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and allow the dead to bury their dead."
23. And climbing into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24. And behold, a great tempest occurred in the sea, so much so that the boat was covered with waves; yet truly, he was sleeping.
25. And his disciples drew near to him, and they awakened him, saying: "Lord, save us, we are perishing."
26. And Jesus said to them, "Why are you afraid, O little in faith?" Then rising up, he commanded the winds, and the sea. And a great tranquility occurred.
27. Moreover, the men wondered, saying: "What kind of man is this? For even the winds and the sea obey him."
28. And when he had arrived across the sea, into the region of the Gerasenes, he was met by two who had demons, who were so exceedingly savage, as they went out from among the tombs, that no one was able to cross by that way.
29. And behold, they cried out, saying: "What are we to you, O Jesus, the Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"
30. Now there was, not far from them, a herd of many swine feeding.
31. Then the demons petitioned him, saying: "If you cast us from here, send us into the herd of swine."
32. And he said to them, "Go." And they, going out, went into the swine. And behold, the entire herd suddenly rushed along a steep place into the sea. And they died in the waters.
33. Then the shepherds fled, and arriving in the city, they reported on all this, and on those who had had the demons.
