New Testament

Luke 8:24-36 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

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.

34. And when those feeding them saw what had taken place, they fled and reported it in the city and in the country.

35. So they came out to see what had taken place, and came to יהושע, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at the feet of יהושע, dressed, and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

36. And those who had seen it reported to them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
