22 One day, Jesus and his disciples got into a boat, and he said, “Let's cross the lake.” They started out,
23 and while they were sailing across, he went to sleep.Suddenly a storm struck the lake, and the boat started sinking. They were in danger.
24 So they went to Jesus and woke him up, “Master, Master! We are about to drown!”Jesus got up and ordered the wind and waves to stop. They obeyed, and everything was calm.
25 Then Jesus asked the disciples, “Don't you have any faith?”But they were frightened and amazed. They said to each other, “Who is this? He can give orders to the wind and the waves, and they obey him!”
26 Jesus and his disciples sailed across Lake Galilee and came to shore near the town of Gerasa.
27 As Jesus was getting out of the boat, he was met by a man from this town. The man had demons in him. He had gone naked for a long time and no longer lived in a house, but in the graveyard.
28 The man saw Jesus and screamed. He knelt down in front of him and shouted, “Jesus, Son of God Most High, what do you want with me? I beg you not to torture me!”
