Contextual Overview

22And it came to pass, on one of the days, that He Himself went into a boat with His disciples, and He said to them, "We may go over to the other side of the lake"; and they set forth, 23and as they are sailing He fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril. 24And having come near, they awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we perish!" And He, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm, 25and He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they being afraid wondered, saying to one another, "Who, then, is this, that He even commands the winds and the water, and they obey Him?" 26And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes that is opposite Galilee, 27and He having gone forth on the land, there met Him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and was not clothed with a garment, and was not abiding in a house, but in the tombs, 28and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before Him, and with a loud voice, said, "What [regards] me and You, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I implore You, may You not afflict me!" 29For He commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and shackles—guarded, and breaking apart the bonds he was driven by the demons into the deserts. 30And Jesus questioned him, saying, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion," because many demons were entered into him, 31and he was calling on Him that He may not command them to go away into the abyss,
