Luke 8:19–27

¹⁹His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.↗

²⁰Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”↗

²¹But he answered them,“My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”↗

²²Now on one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them,“Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.”So they launched out.↗

²³But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.↗

²⁴They came to him and awoke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are dying!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; then they ceased, and it was calm.↗

²⁵He said to them,“Where is your faith?”Being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, “Who is this then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”↗

²⁶Then they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.↗

²⁷When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a house, but in the tombs.↗
