18. Take heed therefore how you hear: for whosoever has, to him shall be given; and whosoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.
19. Then came to him his mother and his brothers, and could not reach him for the crowd.
20. And it was told him by some who said, Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.
21. And he answered and said unto them,
22. Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them,
23. But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling up with water, and were in jeopardy.
24. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Teacher, Teacher, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25. And he said unto them,
26. And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27. And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, who had demons for a long time, and wore no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
28. When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God most high? I beseech you, torment me not.
29. (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For often it had seized him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he broke the bonds, and was driven by the demon into the desert.)
30. And Jesus asked him, saying,
31. And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the abyss.
32. And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would allow them to enter into them. And he allowed them.
33. Then went the demons out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were drowned.
34. When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35. Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the demons were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36. They also who saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the demons was healed.
37. Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned.
