24 The disciples went to Jesus and woke him up, saying, “Master, Master! We are about to die!”Jesus got up and gave an order to the wind and the stormy water; they died down, and there was a great calm.
25 Then he said to the disciples, “Where is your faith?”But they were amazed and afraid, and said to one another, “Who is this man? He gives orders to the winds and waves, and they obey him!”
26 Jesus and his disciples sailed on over to the territory of Gerasa, which is across the lake from Galilee.
27 As Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a man from the town who had demons in him. For a long time this man had gone without clothes and would not stay at home, but spent his time in the burial caves.
28 When he saw Jesus, he gave a loud cry, threw himself down at his feet, and shouted, “Jesus, Son of the Most High God! What do you want with me? I beg you, don't punish me!”
29 He said this because Jesus had ordered the evil spirit to go out of him. Many times it had seized him, and even though he was kept a prisoner, his hands and feet fastened with chains, he would break the chains and be driven by the demon out into the desert.
30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”“My name is ‘Mob’,” he answered — because many demons had gone into him.
