Matthew 8:23-29

New International Version

Jesus Calms the Storm^(A)(B)

²³ Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. ²⁴ Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. ²⁵ The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”

²⁶ He replied, “You of little faith,^(C) why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.^(D)

²⁷ The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”

Jesus Restores Two Demon-Possessed Men^(E)

²⁸ When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes,^[a] two demon-possessed^(F) men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. ²⁹ “What do you want with us,^(G) Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”^(H)
