Context
8:21 Another of the disciples said to him , “Lord , let me first go and bury my father .”
8:22 But Jesus said to him , “Follow me , and let the dead bury their own dead .”
Stilling of a Storm
8:23 As he got into the boat , his disciples followed him .
8:24 And a great storm developed on the sea so that the waves began to swamp the boat . But he was asleep .
8:25 So they came and woke him up saying , “Lord , save us! We are about to die !”
8:26 But he said to them , “Why are you cowardly , you people of little faith ?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea , and it was dead calm .
8:27 And the men were amazed and said , “What sort of person is this ? Even the winds and the sea obey him !”
Healing the Gadarene Demoniacs
8:28 When he came to the other side , to the region of the Gadarenes , two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were extremely violent , so that no one was able to pass by that way .
8:29 They cried out , “Son of God , leave us alone! Have you come here to torment us before the time ?”
8:30 A large herd of pigs was feeding some distance from them .
8:31 Then the demons begged him , “If you drive us out , send us into the herd of pigs .”
8:32 And he said , “Go !” So they came out and went into the pigs , and the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned in the water .
8:33 The herdsmen ran off , went into the town , and told everything that had happened to the demon-possessed men .
8:34 Then the entire town came out to meet Jesus . And when they saw him , they begged him to leave their region .
