<t /><p class="bodytext">Again he began to teach by the lake. Such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat on the lake and sat there while<n id="1" /> the whole crowd was on the shore by the lake.

As he went along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon&#8217;s brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen).<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">So<n id="1" /> they came to the other side of the lake, to the region of the Gerasenes.<n id="2" />

Jesus<n id="1" /> gave them permission.<n id="2" /> So<n id="3" /> the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs. Then the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake, and about two thousand were drowned in the lake.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Jesus<n id="1" /> went out again by the sea. The whole crowd came to him, and he taught them.

When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea and he was alone on the land.

When they saw him walking on the water<n id="1" /> they thought he was a ghost. They<n id="2" /> cried out,

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him.<n id="2" /> And from Judea,

So<n id="1" /> he got up and rebuked<n id="2" /> the wind, and said to the sea,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Be quiet! Calm down!&#8221; Then<n id="4" /> the wind stopped, and it was dead calm.

They were overwhelmed by fear and said to one another, &#8220;Who then is this?<n id="1" /> Even the wind and sea obey him!&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">When Jesus had crossed again in a boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he was by the sea.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> went out again from the region of Tyre<n id="3" /> and came through Sidon<n id="4" /> to the Sea of Galilee in the region of the Decapolis.<n id="5" />

He<n id="1" /> saw them straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. As the night was ending,<n id="2" /> he came to them walking on the sea,<n id="3" /> for<n id="4" /> he wanted to pass by them.<n id="5" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a huge millstone<n id="1" /> tied around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> if someone says to this mountain, &#8216;Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,&#8217; and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
