¹⁸ 6 And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm.

¹⁹ 7 But the men wondered, saying: What manner of man is this, for the winds and the sea obey him?

²⁰ 8 And when he was come on the other side of the water, into the country of the Gerasens, there met him two that were possessed with devils, coming out of the sepulchres, exceeding fierce, so that none could pass by that way.

²⁹ And behold some of the scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth.

³⁰ And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts?

³¹ Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee: or to say, Arise, and walk?

³³ And he arose, and went into his house.

³⁴ And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God that gave such power to men.
