Matthew 8:23-34 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

23. And when He entered into a boat, His taught ones followed Him.

24. And see, a great gale arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered by the waves. But He was sleeping.

25. And His taught ones came to Him and woke Him up, saying, “Master, save us! We are perishing!”

26. And He said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little belief?” Then, having risen, He rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm.

27. And the men marvelled, saying, “What is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

28. And when He came to the other side, to the country of the Girgashites, two demon-possessed ones met Him, coming out of the tombs, very fierce, so that no one was able to pass that way.

29. And see, they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, יהושע, Son of Elohim? Have You come here to torture us, before the appointed time?”

30. And at a distance from them there was a herd of many pigs feeding,

31. and the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

32. And He said to them, “Go.” And they, coming out, went into the herd of pigs. And see, the entire herd of pigs rushed down the steep place into the sea, and died in the water.

33. And the herdsmen fled, and went away into the city and reported all this, and about those possessed by demons.

34. And see, all the city came out to meet יהושע. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their borders.
