Just as Jesus was getting out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came from the tombs and met him.

While he was on his way down, his slaves met him and told him that his son was going to live.

So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.

Because they had heard that Jesus had performed this miraculous sign, the crowd went out to meet him.

But Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings!” They came to him, held on to his feet and worshiped him.

(Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still in the place where Martha had come out to meet him.)

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.

As Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man from the town met him who was possessed by demons. For a long time this man had worn no clothes and had not lived in a house, but among the tombs.

Or what king, going out to confront another king in battle, will not sit down first and determine whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

Now as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave girl met us who had a spirit that enabled her to foretell the future by supernatural means. She brought her owners a great profit by fortune-telling.
