Luke 8:20-33 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

20. And it was reported to Him, saying, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.”

21. And He answering, said to them, “My mother and My brothers are those who are hearing the Word of Elohim and doing it.”

22. And on a certain day it came to be, that He entered into a boat with His taught ones, and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” And they set out.

23. And as they were sailing He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling up, and were in danger.

24. And they came to Him and woke Him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there came a calm.

25. And He said to them, “Where is your belief?” And they were afraid, and marvelled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He even commands the winds and water, and they obey Him?”

26. And they sailed to the country of the Gaḏarenes, which is opposite Galil.

27. And as He went out onto the land, He was met by a certain man, from the city, who had demons for a long time. And he wore no garments, and he was not living in a house but in the tombs.

28. And when he saw יהושע, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, “What have I to do with You, יהושע, Son of the Most High Elohim? I beg You, do not torture me!”

29. For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had seized him many times, and he was bound with chains and shackles, being guarded. And breaking the bonds, he was driven by the demon into the lonely places.

30. And יהושע asked him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him.

31. And they were begging Him that He would not command them to go out into the bottomless pit.

32. And a herd of many pigs was feeding there on the mountain. And they begged Him to allow them to go into them. And He allowed them.

33. And the demons, having gone out of the man, entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep place into the lake and drowned.
